Good morning...
The writers strike already has some big-name support with Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, America Ferrera, Marg Helgenberg and Tina Fey (also a writer on "30 Rock") joining writers on the picket lines Monday in a show of solidarity. Jay Leno brought Krispy Kreme donuts to the writers outside NBC while William Baldwin served coffee outside Paramount studios.
At various Hollywood events, the usual "Who are you wearing?" and "What do you think of "Britney" questions have changed to strike-related queries.
"I think it will impact [Hollywood] hugely, everything changes," Josh Brolin told ET at a weekend premiere. Brolin said that during the 1988 strike,"I remember people selling their houses."
At the premiere of his new movie "Fred Claus," Vince Vaughn said: "A strike is never good for anybody but I'll honor whatever they decide and I think that's the right thing to do. It's never easy thing to go through."

As far as celebrity mug shots go, this one of Shia LaBeouf, the 21-year-old star of "Transformers" and "Disturbia" is a pretty good one. Look, he's even smiling. And it's kind of a silly arrest really. The kid had a few too many and just didn't want to leave that Walgreens store in Chicago where he was loitering. He was arrested and booked on a misdemeanor charge of "criminal trespassing."
That's such a lame charge to have your booking mug added to the hall of shame alongside Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Michael Jackson, Nick Nolte and all the rest. Police even said he was "very courteous and polite" during booking, according to published reports.
It coulda been worse. At least Shia wasn't behind the wheel of a car.

Love this!
The NY Times is reporting that Rosie O'Donnell is in negotiations for a prime-time show on cable news channel MSNBC which just sounds like the perfect fit! Let's face it, since Rosie left "The View" last May, she has needed more of a soapbox than her blog.
The Times writes that Rosie could be given the 9 p.m. slot each weeknight on MSNBC, where she would go head-to-head with two heavyweights of cable talk: “Larry King Live” on CNN and “Hannity & Colmes” on Fox News. The show with Rosie would replace the low-rated “Live with Dan Abrams.”
But NBC executives who spoke with the paper anonymously cautioned that still to be determined before a deal is sealed is when the show would appear, Rosie's salary, and whether she would also be seen on the NBC broadcast network which has been courting her in recent months for a variety of jobs, including hosting a game show.
