Change of plans; another person's 15 mins up; older and hotter

When I was a hardcore (free TV) WWE watcher, one of my favorite parts was finding out what went on behind the scenes and then seeing how it played out on TV. A guy tapped to be the next Champ gets hurt and plans change. The fans don't take to another guy, and his program is scratched. Stuff like that.

I found it interesting that Desperate Housewives' Marcia Cross needs to be on bedrest until her twins are born in April-- a bit sooner than they had hoped. So producers had Bree's house brought to Cross' by building the character's set into the first floor of Cross' home. All in an effort to wrap up the Bree character's arc for the season.

In the meantime, Nicolette Sheridan will benefit from the extra time (of having less Bree than expected) and see her character getting more screen time and becoming a main character.


Speaking of changed plans, David Chase needed (and got) a ninth episode for the last Sopranos run. The final nine episodes begin on April 8 (along with the back half of Entourage).


And it seems as if Paula Abdul just won't go away. Bravo has ordered a reality show that follows her around. It's bound to be a masterpiece.


And normally I don't mention birthdays and such, but I saw this jawdropping picture of one of today's birthday celebs. The absolutely beautiful Diane Lane turned 42 today. I haven't followed her career at all, and have only seen a handful of her more recent films, so I don't know what she was in or how she acted in her twenties, but the Britney Spears, Lindsey Lohans, and Paris Hiltons of the world could learn a lot about what is attractive by taking a look at her.

Let's go old school today: "Peace out!"
