OK – I know NBC has been on a really bad run lately – but things are definitely looking up! I just received an email alert from the Hollywood Reporter announcing that Christina Ricci has agreed to star in… wait for it… wait for it……
Old Hollywood just got another year older and closer to death. In fact, it’s getting harder and harder for Old Hollywood to get out of bed in the morning. Food doesn’t taste as good. Hangovers are a daily occurrence. In short, Old Hollywood is not…
It’s very possible Nickmom will set the record for the world’s shortest running network. There is no other option for this laughable disgrace than a total cancellation. In fact, there are only three absolute certainties in this life: 1) The sun will rise in the east;…
