Stars: July 2007 Archives

Our gal Rosie O'Donnell just keeps making the news.
It used to be that it was because of what she said...but this week it's more about what people are saying ABOUT her. First there was that idiot Donald Trump wanting her to be on his "Apprentice" show and now, TVGuide's Michael Ausiello reports that the producers of NBC's "Friday Night Lights" are trying to convince Rosie to guest star on the show this fall.
"Rosie's a big fan of Friday Night Lights, as we know from The View, and we heard she was interested in being on the show," executive producer Jason Katims tells Ausiello. "Usually we don't do any stunt casting, but we have a character coming up - six or seven episodes into the new season - of a female soccer coach who is really angry about all of the school's resources going to football. It's a really funny character and I think she'd be perfect for it. There's a scene where she comes in to see Coach Taylor (Kyle Chandler) and slams a dead soccer ball on his desk and basically says, 'You're the guy who gets everything!'" It's a really fun scene, and it's the one time I'm thinking of stunt casting."
Katims says he will formally approach O'Donnell in the coming weeks.

Tab Hunter was Hollywood's Golden Boy and it is easy to see why when you look at the covers of his autobiography and of a CD featuring his greatest hits (I had no idea he could sing). So Mr. Hunter, who in his later years has lived as an out gay man, turns 76 years old today! Happy B-day to a Hollywood survivor...
