This Week in WTF: SCRUBS

WTF is wrong with NBC??? They air Scrubs for 7 seasons, and in the final season decide to f around and air the last shows on DVD??? Not if ABC has anything to say about it...

Veteran comedy "Scrubs" is caught in a tug-of-war between NBC and ABC. ABC is in negotiations to pick up 18 episodes of the series from Disney corporate sibling ABC Studios, which has produced the comedy for NBC since 2001....The Hollywood writers strike cut short NBC's 18-episode final-season order for the Zach Braff medical series to 12 episodes. Sources said the network has been reluctant to order additional episodes for the fall, citing the fact that it already has fresh episodes in the can. NBC reportedly floated various endgame scenarios to producers, including ordering one final episode or producing the remaining episodes direct to DVD. ...The "Scrubs" pickup will give ABC another half-hour title with a built-in audience. It also makes financial sense for Disney....NBC has five original episodes left of "Scrubs," which the network plans to air starting April 10. [reuters]

Celebrity Xenu

According to Inside Edition, Jeff Conaway (currently detoxing it up on Celebrity Rehab) is all but cured and is citing Scientology and Grease-costar, Travolta, as the panacea!

Jeff Conaway...reveals to Inside Edition that he kicked his drug habit by practicing Scientology...says that John Travolta is the person responsible for introducing Conaway to Scientology. Conaway proudly proclaims, "I've been doing Scientology…My doctor was like holy cow, he says whatever you've been doing keep doing it because it's really working." Jeff isn't just practicing Scientology. He's really into it. The former druggie has some creepy person come to his home EVERY day! He says, "John and I stayed friends but he couldn't watch me going down the tubes…He gave me a whole library of Scientology books and he's given me an auditor who comes almost every day." [fashion i.e.]

Now, Melissa and I toured the Celebrity Centre in Hollywood and saw their 'detox program', which basically consisted of a few treadmills and some saunas. Does that look like the kinda thing that's gonna cure Jeff Conaway? I think not.

So normal...

JLo and Marc Antony have revealed the twins' names. Get ready to be...bored:

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony's newborn twins are named Max and Emme, Lopez's manager Simon Fields officially confirms to PEOPLE. The new parents welcomed their son and daughter on Feb. 22. Emme was born at 12:12 a.m. and weighed 5 lbs. 7 oz., and Max followed at 12:23 a.m., weighing 6 lbs. [people]

Bad Look

Not a good look for Brad.

What did I say?

Did I not say that America couldn't tell the difference between the blondes on Idol this season? Case in point: Last night, these two were up against each other to be offed...

Neither of them should have been in the bottom 4. But, because of some kind of karmic retribution America needs to suffer, we have to put up with this rag another week:


Also, America, your love for this miscreant is a bit disconcerting.


Get some taste.

Here's who went home:
Alexandrea, Alaina, Robbie and Jason.

Who's Off Tonite?

Predictions for tonite's offings on Idol. A couple are wishful thinking, more than accurate picks.

Cute kid... Shame about the parents.

Get this douche off my record!

Isn't that the douche calling the douche Masengil? Hmmm?

Pamela Anderson doesn't want to be married to Rick Salomon anymore. Then again, she doesn't want to divorce him, either. Instead, the former Baywatch beauty filed for an annulment Friday, citing fraud as the reason (a commonality when it comes to filling out the paperwork). No further details were given, per court documents obtained by E! News. (View the petition.) [e!]

Oh Moses Smell the Roses

So, what's it gonna take to turn this fantasy into reality??? Perhaps the dumbest, cruelest, most-thoughtless modeling subject matter on ANTM yet. Way to go, Tyra! So cutting edge! So thought provoking!

The Baddest Idea of Bad Ideas

Who let these two near each other again (especially when a recent article tells of Kate Hudson dying to have more kids)? Yeah, kids are definitely what Owen Wilson needs right now. And he's such father material. I look at him and think: Responsible, loving, nurturer...

After a suicide attempt last August, Owen Wilson has been given a second chance at life – and, it seems, love. The actor was seen driving his silver Toyota Prius away from Kate Hudson's Pacific Palisades home on Feb. 23...."They are hooking up," a Wilson insider told Us. Confirms a Hudson source, "They have definitely been talking, hanging out and, yes, hooking up." [us weekly]

Finally, as it should be

The DEA is investigating the source of Heath Ledger's prescribed drugs; the ones that caused his death. Finally, someone's going to be held accountable for prescribing medicines that had such deadly counteractions. Yes, I know, everyone on prescribed medicine should be responsible enough to find out what will and will not interact with each other. Except that the average person does not come equipped with pharmaceutical knowledge and there's only so much WebMD can help you sort things out. This is why pharmacists sometimes tell you when you get to the counter: Sorry, you can't have this filled because it will interact with your other medicine. Someone dropped the ball in Heath's case... and it's time their cover was blown.

A doctor in California and another in Texas are under investigation by federal drug authorities in the matter of Heath Ledger's's death, PEOPLE has confirmed. ...“We are investigating doctors in Los Angeles and Texas with regard to Ledger’s prescriptions,” the source tells PEOPLE. However, the source did not say whether any wrongdoing is involved, saying, “We don’t know yet. The agents were there this week, and we are waiting to hear from them.” The doctors in question are thought to have supplied Ledger with Oxycontin and Vicodin, law enforcement sources tell New York's Daily News. At issue is whether or not the powerful painkiller were prescribed legally, says the newspaper. The subpoenaing of Ledger's autopsy results by the Drug Enforcement Administration was reported shortly after the findings of the report were announced. On Feb. 6, it was said that the DEA would look into the source of the actor's prescriptions. [people]

Holy Bangs Batman

More Oscar Party Pics

Viggo gets handsy...

Sean Penn is clearly outta control since his separation.

To be a fly on the wall...

The Pivs tries to get a little French action...

Whatever Elton said, Sean wasn't pleased.

The teef

Gary Busey and his massive chompers made their appearance at the Oscars last night.

Oscars screwed Brad Renfro

Brad Renfro was missing from last night's In Memorium montage. Pretty fucked up.

So in case you missed it, Brad Renfro was ignored during the "in memoriam" montage on the Oscars last night. You're not gonna believe the statement the Academy gave TMZ.

The tape featured 98 movie types who died in the last year. They included actors, studio execs, makeup artists, agents, and on and on. Renfro was nowhere to be seen. We asked the Academy why and they gave us the following statement: "It is simply not possible to include everyone in that segment."

Interesting. Renfro, whose credits include "The Client," "Apt Pupil" and "Sleepers," seems like a bigger player than Margaret Gardner, the head of the international division of a P.R. firm.

Someone in Renfro's world called the slap in the face "unbelievable and disgusting." We couldn't have said it better ourselves. [TMZ]

He trumped her...

Well, Jimmy Kimmel put his boxing gloves on and beat the sh!t out of Sarah Silverman's "I'm F!cking Matt Damon" video, with his own comic masterpiece: "I'm F!cking Ben Affleck." If you thought Sarah's comic turn was hee-larious... you haven't seen anything. Buckle up, kids... And try to count the celebrity cameos. Watch the video here.

And the hilarious new clip – in which the two are seen giving each other pedicures before Affleck tweaks Kimmel's bare chest – isn't just a duet: It's an all-star performance on par with "We Are the World." When it comes to backup singers, Kimmel somehow managed to round up a who's-who of the entertainment industry, including Don Cheadle, Ashlee Simpson, Robin Williams, Cameron Diaz, Huey Lewis, Christina Applegate, Joan Jett, Macy Gray, Benji and Joel Madden, Lance Bass, Josh Groban and Harrison Ford – who blows the new couple a kiss. Even Brad Pitt makes a cameo, albeit in a non-singing role. He plays a FedEx deliveryman who brings a cake of congratulations to Kimmel and Affleck. Kimmel and Affleck also stand nose to nose in the video, and all but kiss. As Robin Williams rhapsodizes, "This is not a man crush." "The reason I did it like this, I didn't want my parents finding out from the tabloids," Kimmel said after showing the video. Affleck said his wife, Jennifer Garner, didn't take the news very well. "Thank God my daughter is too young [to understand]," added the actor, referring to 2-year-old Violet. Retorted a straight-faced Kimmel, "Well, she's our daughter now." [people]

Tina Fey Rocks My World

God, I love Tina. If you didn't see SNL's return to the airwaves on Saturday, try to find some clips or pencil the rerun date into your calendar. It was funnier than it's been in a long time (aside from a few terrible skits) and I'm sure it's because Fey was back in her comfort zone. The best moment was when she visited her old desk at Weekend Update. I'll let the clip do the talking: BITCHES GET STUFF DONE! Dammit. That's right.

WATCH IT HERE!!!

Is Bitch the New Black? If you believe Tina Fey on "Saturday Night Live" last night, then damn straight; if you don't, you may well be burning up the NBC message boards right now. Last night politcs was center stage on SNL, with an epic cold open spoofing the latest CNN debate between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama (over 8 minutes), a supersized "Weekend Update" (11 minutes), and about as close as SNL could come to a live, on-air endorsement of Hillary Clinton by host and returning alumna Tina Fey.

In a segment on Update called "Women's News" ("It's a great time to be a lady in America!") Fey celebrated the news of a woman running for president -- and then (after a bitty swipe at Oprah), proceeded to take aim at a number of Hillary-hating arguments: That if elected she wouldn't be able to "control" hubby Bill Clinton and there'd be "co-presidents" in the White House ("'Cause that would be terrible, having two intelligent, qualified people working together to solve problems -- why would you let Starsky talk to Hutch?"); reassuring the audience that, even though they were married, they were having "about as much sex as George Bush and Jeb Bush are" and smacking down Rush Limbaugh for his comments that "America's not ready to watch their president turn into an old lady. "Really?" asked Fey. "'Cause they didn't seem to mind when Ronald Reagan did that." [alternet]

Agent 99 and Maxwell Smart ;)

Steve Carrell and Nancy Walls (in Dior)

Juno screenwriter Diablo Cody,
candidate for worst dressed.

LOL... Ryan Seacrest just got highjacked by Gary "Batshit INSANE" Busey. (Who let him in? Don't they know better???) Made for good TV. Busey stood sideline as Ryan tried to interview a visibly shaken Jennifer Garner and a cock-blocking Laura Linney, who successfully rescued Garner from Busey. You gotta see it. LOL.

Gary Busey lived up to his reputation by strangely crashing Ryan Seacrest's interviews on the Academy Awards red carpet. While Seacrest was interviewing Jennifer Garner and Laura Linney on the live E! pre-show broadcast, Busey repeatedly interrupted. After Busey warmly greeted Linney, Seacrest introduced him to Garner, whom he promptly gave a bear hug. Garner was clearly annoyed, and was left wondering why "this man" had just grabbed her. Linney tried to usher them both out of the interview as Garner curtly replied to Seacrest's final questions. As Busey continued to linger, Seacrest politely suggested they catch up later in the evening. "I'll see you later at the party. You know the one," said Seacrest. When an E! co-host asked Seacrest what had happened, Seacrest was dumbfounded and acknowledged he had never met Busey before. [yahoo]

Oooh. So close, Diablo. You can rest easy.

You're NOT the worst dressed this evening.
That honor goes to Mrs. Daniel Day Lewis, Rebecca Miller.
And they're keeping it in the family, yo.
Cause Daniel gets worst dressed man.
I cannot believe he's gonna win the Oscar
in that tux and those shoes. Oy!

Amy Adams' dress may be boring, but her evening bag
(which contains nothing btw) is gaw-geous!!! If you can make it out,
the clasp is a swallow with its wings outstretched. Just adorable.

Helen Mirren... Gorgeous in red. Love the sleeves.

God, dopey Ryan just asked Jessica Alba if she's going to breast feed... Props to her for saying: "God, that's very personal." What a dope.

Here she is, looking radiant in plum Marchesa.
