The trades and other entertainment news sites were a particularly frightening read this morning. Let’s play a little game we like to call To Care or Not to Care.
‘The Mummy 3′ finds its villain: Jet Li is in talks to play the Mummy in the Rob Cohen-directed second sequel. The action is set in China, and… wait, I definitely do not care. (Although I will admit that a few years back, I walked through a Mummy attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood and screamed like a preteen.)
Jamie Kennedy and Lee Majors join forces for Fox’s Me & Lee? pilot: I’d have expected myself to care, but somehow after digesting The Hollywood Reporter‘s description, I just don’t. Me & Lee? ”centers on a guy (Kennedy) with chronic back pain who gets more than he bargained for when he undergoes ‘bionic’ back surgery in a secret lab run by actor Lee Majors (playing himself) in the basement of his Beverly Hills mansion. Majors built the lab after becoming obsessed with bionics after Man went off the air." Too crazy?
Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie will be camp counselors for new season of The Simple Life on E!: I like crap TV, and even I stopped watching this show. Does anyone still care?
TV Land developing show reuniting Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams: According to TVWeek’s Mel’s Diner blog, the former Laverne & Shirley costars will play themselves in the "loosely scripted" show. The pilot, set to film next month, is said to have the duo living together in Penny’s house. This, I could conceivably care about on a raining Saturday afternoon. If there was nothing on Lifetime or We.
I don’t give a crap about any of these four, especially the Simple Life. That show needed to die a long time ago.
Nope. Don’t care. Maybe just a smidge about “The Mummy 3″. Okay, probably not.
Definitely don’t care about “The Simple Life”. I will be interested in it the day that Paris and Nicole plan and execute a suicide pact. Now THAT’S must see TV!!!
Laverne and Shirley together sounds intriguing, esp. since children of that time prob. recall something about them not getting along.
The rest t’ain’t for me.
Three of the four sound interesting. Simple Life: could care less.
Hey, what about resurrecting Mel’s Diner? I need me some Alice! (Ba ba ba ba baaaaaaaa….)
I’ve never watched a single episode of The Simple Life so don’t have an opinion about it. The others don’t sound too bad. Well….The Mummy should leave well enough alone. Why does every movie company think there needs to be a trilogy of everything? I just hope Spiderman, Shrek and Pirates are not duds the third time around.
I can imagine Paris and Nicole on the set of Simple Life,they probably don’t care any more. These two girls have a short attention span, I’m surprised either of them wasnts to do another season.
Last seasons twist of them not working together really didn’t work. Girls give it up, nobody cares about you or your coked up ways!
When will E! realize that no one cares about THE SIMPLE LIFE and those two emaciated idiots?
I hate Jamie Kennedy but am a mega fan of Lee Majors. So long as the show does the spring sound from “bionic man” whenever Kennedy does something I will totally watch.
All four – don’t care. My point – this should not even have been up for discussion on an entertainment blog.
Stow it, Middento. Just stow it…
No matter how many people try to convince that the Simple Life is the worst of the worst on tv, I still think it’s hilarious. Did you not SEE Paris Hilton making grilled cheese with an iron last season?
convince me*
Nope, I didn’t. The only thing that Paris can do that I would find even remotely interesting would be to take her own life.
Never have I seen someone with so much handed to them be such a waste. It make me throw up just a little everytime I think about it.
Not to care.
