- Ooh, Isaiah Washington’s speaking out again. In an interview with Newsweek, he said racism was partially to blame for his firing from Grey’s Anatomy, claiming producers were threatened by the fact that he was “a black man who wasn’t a mush-mouth Negro.” You gotta hand it to him, this man has an ear for sound bites.
- Continuing their reputation for delighting in only the most annoying entertainers America has to offer, the French have awarded Barbra Streisand with their Legion of Honor medal. The other American to have received the award: Jerry Lewis. No doubt David Blaine’s medal is currently being minted.
- Tickets for the next musical from Mel Brooks, Young Frankenstein, will top out at $450. That is roughly $448 more than it would cost you to just rent the damn movie.
- The Spice Girls announced they were reuniting for a world tour. No word on whether Meat Loaf will once again be driving their tour bus. (That, people, is a Spice World reference. Don’t act like you haven’t seen the movie.)
- With the July 4 holiday fast approaching, BWE.tv’s Michelle Collins has gone on vacation. Posting for her today will be Adam Winer, aka me. I promise to try not to suck.
