Midweek Entertainment report 8/19/09

Abe Lincoln is suddenly popular, Spike Lee to throw a birthday joint, Just cut the cord already Jen-Nay, House sees some familiar faces return, SouthLAnd returns?, and Crazy MElissa is given the boot!

Ladies and Gentlemen, THE MIDWEEK ENTERTAINMENT REPORT!

Standing Ovation. (Seriously guys, stop! OK, keep going!)

So the 16th Prez, aka Pennyboy, aka $5 bill man aka Honest Abe Lincoln has become quite popular. It only took 144 years....just kidding. He's always been popular. But Hollywood is starting to jump on board and Bobby Redford has signed on to direct "Conspirator" about Mary Surratt who was convicted as a conspirator in the assassination of the prez. There is also a flick due out about John W. Booth and finally one on the man himself. Three movies....There you go. I'll be interested to see the one by Bobby Redford though (and not just because of I recall his dreamy good looks from The Sting) but because I KNOW how the others end already.....

Spike Lee will reportedly through Michael Jackson a birthday party next week, posthumously of course. This is weird...you throwing a birthday party for a guy that is dead. Isn't that weird? In tradition though with MJ's wishes (SBF is sure...) plenty of young children will be invited and liquored up. It's what he would have wanted........

In a scene seemingly lifted out of Forest Gump, Jen-NAY aka Robin Wright Penn and her on-again-off-again Hubby Sean Penn are finally headed to divorce court. We've been down this road SO MANY TIMES it seems, but according to Jen-NAY's friends, this time it is for real. Sportsbyfletch just has one simple request: DO IT OR DON'T ALREADY. Either way, PLEASE let this be the last we hear of this. Either get divorced or stay together and shut up. PLEASE. I was actually rooting for Jen-NAY to jump off that balcony in FG, if ONLY so she would stop jerking poor Forest around. Robin, you are treading close to me rooting for you to do the same..... (Or to actually stab yourself like you nearly did in Princess Bride)

In a SPOILER, this season on House, Dr. Gregory House spends most of the 22 episodes in the loony bin, but in a move that should win the Fletcher Globe in the "IT'S ABOUT TIME" Category, Chase and Cameron are returning to the team. I guess Cameron got tired of working in the ER and Chase got tired of doing EVERY SINGLE SURGERY at Princeton-Plainsboro. Seriously, it's about time they came back! What took so long? And writers, why did we go down that road anyways? OH, YEAH...To get Alex aka Olivia Wilde on the show. Good move. Just get rid of Taulb and Foreman and keep 13, Chase and Cameron. NICE THINKING SBF!

Did you hear that NBC is bringing back SouthLAnd? Why?

Finally, on More to Love last night, Luke broke out the cheesiest line EVER on Fat Bachlor history when, on the Castle balcony, he turns to Heather and says, "This view is amazing." When she agrees, he drops, "No, I was talking about you." WOW. That was so freaking Provoloney! After he kisses EVERY girl hello on their final get-to-know-you before the ring ceremony, he sends the Atlanta chick with a tattoo on her right Hooter as well as the Melissa girl (21 years old who never had a boyfriend. wait, I could be talking about all of them...) home. Abby looked like something the cat dragged in (well, a fleet of cats) at the ring ceremony. I've got to think that Mandy the personal trainer (I wonder if she has any clients?) and MAlissa are the two favorites to win Luke's stomach-er-Heart.

That's it. Have a great rest of the week!
