September 2009 News Archive

This episode of Glee has three things going for it:

• Scarcely any Terri Schuester;
• The presence of guest star Kristin Chenoweth;
• And a rousing rendition of "Somebody to Love."

Sadly, there was very little Sue Sylvester, but at least her one main line of dialogue was a winner. Enjoy our detailed recap of "The Rhodes Not Taken" right now!

As always, we've compiled the funniest Glee quotes from the hour and listed them below:

Sue: When I heard Sandy wanted to write himself into a scene as Queen Cleopatra, I was aroused. And then furious. | permalink

Rachel: Yes, I am back in glee club. In lieu of flowers, please send all donations to a socially conscious charity of your choice. | permalink

Kurt: Maybe Quinn is lactose intolerant.
Artie: That doesn't explain all the crying. | permalink

Will: You remember me?
April: No. But I don't remember breakfast. | permalink

There's been an attack on Wisteria Lane.

And, as the following promo for this week's Desperate Housewives episode asks: How well do you know your neighbor?

Viewers will find out the answer to that question during the episode titled "Being Alive," as Gabby has advice for Ana; Bree worries about her affair; and Angie will do anything to protect her son. Watch a preview for it below:

We've also collected a handful of photos from the upcoming installment.

Remember to come back here often for the latest Desperate Housewives quotes and click on the pics below for a preview of scenes from "Being Alive."

Veteran actress Kathy Najimy has landed a role on Desperate Housewives.

The actress - who has appeared on a number of shows, including Privileged, King of the Hill and Numb3rs - will guest star in as a police officer with a surprising connection to Teri Hatcher’s Susan.

“Susan suspects Katherine was the one who attacked Julie, so she gets [a cop] to help her,”  creator Marc Cherry told Entertainment Weekly. “But then she finds out the policewoman went to high school with her — and Susan stole her boyfriend, too! So [Najimy] has been going around the past 30 years resenting her.”

In other Desperate Housewives casting news, Rebecca Staab and David Chisum are also coming to Wisteria Lane.

They'll debut on October 25; while Najimy's episode will also air in October.

Matt LeBlanc has landed a new starring role... as Matt LeBlanc!

The former Friends star will appear as himself in Episodes, a satirical Showtime series that focuses on a British couple whose hit show in its native land is transformed into a less-funny, dumbed-down sitcom in America.

(Just imagine The Office, if the U.S. version sucked big time.)

LeBlanc will appear as Matt LeBlanc, the chosen star of the American remake of the British show. Following along so far? He'll re-team with Friends creator David Crane on the project.

"I love it," the actor said. "And I am so glad I got the part - seeing someone else play Matt LeBlanc would have been devastating."

The six-episode series will air this winter.

Shakira, and her honest hips, will soon give acting a shot.

Ugly Betty creator, Silvio Horta says the singer will appear on an episode of the ABC hit this fall, telling People:

“We had a very memorable moment in the third episode where Betty has a makeover that goes wrong and she struts down the street to ‘Hips Don’t Lie.’ We’ve mentioned [Shakira] several times over the course of the series and have always wanted to work with her. She’s an enormous Latina icon, as is Betty, and we thought it was a perfect fit.”

On the episode titled “The Bahamas Triangle," Shakira will assist a Mode photo shoot when the publication is on location in the tropics. Christie Brinkley will also appear during this installment, portraying the editor of a competing fashion magazine.

Jamie-Lynn Sigler will also appear on Ugly Betty this season. Get an early look at her in the role of Natalie now!

All My Children is moving to Los Angeles.

As a result, the Internet has been rumbling with rumors of which stars will - and, more importantly - will not make the move to the West Coast.

Now, the series has confirmed the status of its main cast. The following actors/actresses will all be heading across the country to continue filiming the series:

• Susan Lucci (Erica)
• David Canary (Adam)
• Michael E. Knight (Tad)
• Vincent Irizarry (David)
• Debbi Morgan (Angie)
• Darnell Williams (Jesse)

The biggest name not relocating? Thorsten Kaye, pictured.

The actor tape his final scenes as Zach over the next few days, while the show is still based in New York.

Welcome to the latest edition of the 90210 Round Table!

While readers gather in our 90210 forum to discuss the latest episode, our writers wish to get in on the action, as well. With that in mind, we dissect various developments from "The Porn King" below.

How did we feel about Adrianna and Navid's first time? Or about Teddy in general? Find out now...

Adrianna and Navid: Romantic? Or wrong?
BrendaLova: Wrong. So very, very wrong. I don't doubt Adrianna's true feelings for Navid, but it's no coincidence she finally put out for him so soon after kissing Teddy. That bedroom romp was motivated by guilt, not love.

The Real McKay: Sometimes, it takes a major event to wake one up to reality. Of course Adrianna was wrong to make out with Teddy. But if that made her realize that Navid truly was the man for her, and it was silly to keep waiting, then I see the act as romantic.

Wild4Wilds: Can I go with "wrongly romantic?" No one can defend Adrianna's actions with Teddy, but what would be the alternative? Telling Navid what happened? Then, Adrianna would feel guilty AND be alone. At least now she's used the incident to further her relationship with the man she loves.

Do you like Teddy?
BrendaLova: I'm coming around on him. He clearly says the wrong thing at the wrong time, but it sounds like his father is a bit of a nut case. Always look to the parents when analyzing an individual and be understanding of their problems when there's a valid basis for them.

The Real McKay: With abs like that, who wouldn't like him?!?

Wild4Wilds: No. I can overlook his mistimed jokes - especially the one about the homeless guy, it was funny! - but I don't approve of his lack of respect for Navid. Back off, man. Adrianna is happy with someone else.
