"Then, and seemingly without dropping a bead of sweat, Katee gave Bionic Woman the only fire it had as its rogue bionic. A bonfire to be more accurate. It was night and day on that show between her scenes and every one else's. Both of those shows have expired or are about to. She's a bonafide super star, if Hollywood would merely point bright lights her way to reflect. Give her a lead role and watch the magic happen."
Oh and about this week's roundup... I thought I could watch Stripes and then catch the midnight showing of Battlestar, but then I fell asleep. I had a really long week and I really, really had to go to bed! I'm sorry Blonde Tomboy Space Girl! I still love you!
If the episode shows up on hulu.com or elsewhere, I'll get a report up asap.
Whenever I’m in Los Angeles, I experience this unease. I don’t have a name for it. I go out to lunch and worry Sinbad’s going to be sitting across from me. I wait in line at a hot dog stand and hope I don’t spot Carmen Electra.
A celebrity sighting can really ruin your day. At night it’s even worse. Not too long ago I was eating in a favourite restaurant when Mike Myers walked in with a large group I hesitate to call an entourage. As the loveable star of the Austin Powers movies sat down with his people, you could see on the faces of the other diners that their wine had just turned to vinegar. What’s he doing here, their expressions said. What’s he doing in this part of town? Why isn’t he in his own area?
Increasingly, that’s where we want them: away from us. The Bible suggests that the poor will always be with us. Today it’s the rich who will always be with us. If they’re famous on top of it, that makes their presence all the more galling, not to mention disruptive.
Whole neighbourhoods of our cities have turned into ghettos of the celebrated, and there’s nowhere we can go to escape. They will always be with us. Who wants to live across the hall from the breakout star of Survivor: Guatemala? Riding the bus is bad enough without Ashton Kutcher taking the last seat. [TheNational]
"The Hyannis Fire Department responded to an emergency call at the storied Kennedy compound at 8:30 this morning, according to the Cape Cod Times. The senator was rushed to Cape Cod Hospital, then flown to Boston. The newspaper published a photograh of Kennedy, strapped to a gurney, being carried to the chopper.
"Kennedy, 76, is the senior statesman in one of America's political dynasties. He was first elected in 1962 [and portrayed Thomas 'Big Tom' Callahan in 1995's Tommy Boy.—kidding!]" [The Boston Globe via NYT via In Other News]
"Mel and his wife Robyn clearly saw a woman in crisis and wanted to extend themselves in any way possible," the unidentified friend told the Daily Mail. There are no expectations, there is no agenda.

"Whedon says that, like Buffy and Firefly, Dollhouse aspires to be both deep (how does society shape, influence, 'program' the individual: discuss!) and fun. A typical episode will see Dushku cycle through three to four personas, making for a wild mix of moods and genres. 'The other day I shot scenes for a 1940s musical dance number and a Mexican spaghetti Western — just for the pilot episode,' says Whedon, kicking back on a plush couch under the stairwell of Dollhouse's set. Says Dushku: 'It's really perfect for my personality, which is kind of ADD. It's nice to not have the same wardrobe every day.''' [EW]
