In anticipation of tonight’s season premiere of The OC, the Los Angeles Times runs an article on Melinda “Mindy” Clarke’s typical weekend in LA/The OC. This puff piece is full of hilarious gems, thanks to the pseudo-WASPy tone Ms. Clarke employs to describe every detail: “My husband likes to take our daughter to CityWalk at Universal City, but I think places like that and amusement parks should only be done after September and before June.” She then added, “Dahhling!” [Los Angeles Times]
Bill Rancic announces that he’ll be leaving Trump’s side when his contract expires this spring. Well, wouldn’t you if you were offered a starring role in The Scorned 2??? [AP]
Have we mentioned how excited we are for Reunion? Bonus points for taking place in B-Side’s home turf of Bedford, NY. [New York Times]
Star Jones to weigh down the red carpet for E!. Kathy Griffin will be on hand as well, but based on last night’s hilarious finale of Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List, chances are the comedienne will be located about two miles away at some dingy sports bar in Koreatown. So very wrong, E!. [AP]
But seriously, what is the deal with E!? Not only do they favor Star Jones over Kathy Griffin, now we hear that the Gastineau Girls has been picked up for a second season. Why? Who ARE these women??? [Hollywood Reporter]
Don’t worry. For every action there’s a reaction. Comedy Central picks up South Park for three more seasons. [Mediaweek]
