emmy schmemmy

i don't have much to say about this year's nominations other than congrats to 30 rock, weeds, and the ladies of saturday night live. here's a complete list of nominees this year. the categories were expanded from 5 nods to 7, making room for a lot of unexpected contenders. the most unexpected? the best comedy series nom for fox's family guy. is it just me or is the show the same thing every week? same jokes, same story, same...everything. the - what i think is inane - cartoon series has been a big ratings winner (only god knows why) for the network and bypassed the line for animated series, straight into contention with shows like the office and how i met your mother. the primetime emmys air september 20th live from hollywood.

giving lindsay a run for her money

we all know that lindsay lohan is my numero uno hot mess. but, that might be changing quite soon. former oc star mischa barton just went up a notch on the crazy scale. the actress called the police - through the non-911 number - on herself last night for a "medical issue" and was taken straight to the hospital. according to us weekly, the actress had a major-minor meltdown and felt the need to call the authorities. because therapy is too expensive i guess? now this is where is gets complicated and you can guess which story i think is more interesting - and hopefully real. some reports claim mischa just had complications with the sockets left from her wisdom teeth removal earlier this month and that she didn't know what else to do. really? because i would just have called the doctor or a friend/family member to take me to the emergency room. but, i guess i'm not a washed-up(ish) tv star. the other (better) story is that mischa was picked up and taken to the hospital and was put on a - wait for it - 51/50 psychiatric hold. yes, some britney (circa 2007) shiz. that means she's being held against her will because she poses a threat to herself and/or others. woohoo! where she goes from here is unknown, but hopefully something will leak out soon. the actress is slated to resume production on her new cw show (a beautiful life) about supermodels living in new york. no word on whether this will delay said production. if it does, i'd say barton's replaceable.
