Private Practice

I’m always amazed at how busy the actors from Private Practice are even when the show is in production. Now that it’s on a “hiatus” of sorts due to the writer’s strike, the actors have remained just as busy.

Taye Diggs has been doing some good deeds of the victims of Katrina of late, but that doesn’t stop him from using his acting muscles as well. According to a rumor in Vanity Fair, Diggs might just be be starring in the upcoming Chicago 7 directed by Steven Spielberg along with Sacha Baron Cohen and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Well, Mr. Speilberg… HELLO.

Roma Torre from NY1 News is praising Audra McDonald’s work in 110 in the Shade, calling it “phenomenal.” McDonald IS a talented actress. Even if she is the wrong Naomi.

But I digress!

Here’s her belting out “Simple Little Things” on The View a few months back. I think she’s talented, no doubt, but her performance on was a little too over the top. Yeah, yeah, I know Broadway IS over the top… but her voice is just too… much like watching an obnoxious kid sing “Silver Bells” on Christmas. (Like a certain cousin of mine who used to think she was Barbara Friggin Streisand. You know who you are.)

KaDee Strickland and Paul Adelstein, meanwhile, are supporting the striking writers by their participation in “Diversity Day.” Check out Adelstein’s bearded up face – the typical “I’m out of work” sign for any actor.

Speaking of which… when’s that writer’s strike gonna come to an end already?

Tuna tartar shaped like a butterfly. That’s romantic. Right?

Sounds pretty romantic to me. But hey - I have a feeling anything would be romantic with Kate Walsh and her cute hubby Alex Young involved.

Anywho, Kate tells TV Guide that her hubby proposed to her over a dish of tuna tartar. Since she digs butterflies, he also arranged to have it shaped like a butterfly.

Awww…..

She also praised the benefits of being slightly older. Especially when it comes to fame, saying:

“If this all had happened to me when I was 25, I would have been shaving my head and driving over people’s feet!”

Now, she wouldn’t happen to be talking about everybody’s favorite train wreck Britney Spears, would she?

Naw, that can’t be it.

Seriously, Kate Walsh’s sense of humor is so awesome. That’s one reason she stood out on the Grey’s Anatomy set. She seems to take everything in stride and doesn’t let anything rattle her. Love that. Of course being older helps with that as well.

Speaking of Kate’s wedding, her dress is listed as second best of the year on LoveTripper. Katherine Heigl’s is third. I know those two are buds, but I really can’t see Kate and Kat actually hanging together. Ya know? Kate seems fun and Katherine seems…. what’s the word…. annoying.

Anyways, Kate’s Cadillac commercial is also voted sexiest of 2007. Kate is having THE YEAR OF ALL YEARS, what with the new hubby, new show, new commercial… what can be next? New baby?

No. Not yet anyway.

She did help inspire the name “Addison” as one of the most popular of 2007. (Along with Aidan and Ava.) I can’t help noticing the name “Izzy” isn’t one of the more popular ones. Hmm… wonder why?

Funny how things work out. Just when you think life isn’t going your way, something SPECTACULAR comes along instead.

That’s got to be how KaDee Strickland feels right now. After all, her short-lived series The Wedding Bells got cancelled last year and she probably didn’t know what she was going to do next.

Then along comes Shonda Rhimes… and suddenly KaDee Strickland is the new doctor we love to hate on Private Private. Plus, she gets to do some steamy scenes with Paul Addelstein besides!

But that’s not the only hunk she can smootch with and get a paycheck for doing it. She also starred in the hit movie American Gangster and had a hot and steamy sex scene with Russell Crowe. Not bad.

Speaking of American Gangster, it just got nominated for both a Critic’s Choice award and a Golden Globe. Future projects will be flinging themselves upon her doorstep now (not that she wasn’t busy before.) Let’s just hope she doesn’t leave Private Practice in order to expand her acting chops.

Now, I know what you’re saying… I’m not a fan of her TWANG so I’m not a fan of the character. Not true. Nor, is it true that I hate southern accents all together. Just hers, for some reason. It think it’s the accident combined with the Julia Roberts tone that does me in.

I had to laugh, though, when Strickland gave an interview to the OttowaCitizen.com saying she can finally talk the way she really does! Apparently they downplayed the accent in the early days of the show. Her voice seems different even on this interview she did with E! back in September:

Sheesh! That must mean there’s more to come with that voice… let’s hope Cooper can stand it better than yours truly.

Oh what a tangled web. The writer’s strike, that is. And if you thought the writer’s strike was bad, apparently it’s just the beginning. While it might seem odd that the studios don’t want to negotiate to resolve this thing, when you consider the fact they’ve also got the Director’s Guild and Screen Actors Guild (SAG) coming up June 20, 2008, it puts this in a new perspective.

According to the LA Times:

“The largest union, with 120,000 members, SAG also has a relatively new president, Alan Rosenberg, who came to power after promising a much more aggressive stance about new media revenues. For the first time, SAG also brought in an outsider, former NFL Players Assn. executive Doug Allen, to be its executive director, another sign that the guild is preparing for a hard-nosed negotiation.”

In other words, the actors will probably be looking for the same thing that the writers are, and if the studios give it to the writer’s, they’ll have to give it to the actors.

Labor negotations… Ain’t it great?

What does that mean for you and me? The International Business Times says:

“If the strike lasts another four to six weeks, it could spell the end for 2008 pilot production. The most-circulated scenario in that case involves the networks renewing all their existing series for next fall, producing their pilots in the summer and launching their new crop of shows in midseason 2009.”

In happier news, John Stamos believes the writer’s strike will actually help his show, ER. (Yes folks, that show is still on the air! I personally haven’t watched it in like ten years, but it’s been on for over a decade. The Gunsmoke of the its time, apparently.) Stamos tells the New York Daily News:

“The writers strike will mean that a lot of pilots won’t be made. That will help us because we’re tried and true and have enough episodes stockpiled to remain on-air well into February, which is getting to be pilot time. Besides, after 14 years, the series would take at least 14 to 19 episodes to wind up properly.”

Well, not necessarily. That’s what “TV Movies” were created for, after all.

One of the shows apparently hit by the writer’s strike is ABC’s Big Shots (which the Hollywood Reporter called “a low-rated male version of “Desperate Housewives.”) The show had some serious eye candy, with Michael Vartan, Dylan McDermott, Christopher Titus and Joshua Malina as the stars. But alas, it was not to be. The network has canceled the show, which aired just after Grey’s Anatomy on Thursday nights. ABC will air reruns of Private Practice in its place.

Private Practice is also among the new shows ABC has already requested a full season from, along with Dirty Sexy Money and Pushing Daisies.

If you can’t wait until Thursday for Private Practice, not to worry. It’s still on tomorrow, too, where they’ll re-air the episode, “In Which We Meet Addison, A Nice Girl from Somewhere Else.”

Here’s a clip:

On Friday talks for the writer’s strike came to a halt once again. Is it too much to ask that as an early Christmas present they could at least keep at it? Talks between the writers and the big exec’s started up November 26th and once again went to pieces over the income from the Internet point.

We all want the strike to end, for various reasons… we disklike reruns… we have some new shows that have just gotten off the ground (Private Practice, Pushing Daisies)… we think strikes of any type should be mediated by Jimmy Carter so they can be resolved tout de suite.

And here’s another reason for the writer’s to end the strike: Celebrities will have more time on their hands to campaign for their favorite presidential candidates.

Case in point:

Jessica Biel, Ryan Reynolds, Scarlett Johansson, Kate Walsh and Taye Diggs are all backing Democratic presidential primary candidate Barack Obama, and coming together for the “Los Angeles Generation Obama Concert” next week in Los Angeles, US Weekly reports.

Ah… ugh. Here’s the thing, I love these celebs. Really. Love cute goofy Ryan Reynolds…

… love gorgeous Scarlet Johansson…

… and especially love our own Kate Walsh….

… and Taye Diggs.

Still, celebs getting press because of how they vote bore me. Why do I care? I don’t even care how my neighbor is going to vote, why would I care how the likes of Jessica freakin Biel is going to vote. She’s purdy…

… but that’s about it.

On a related note, Marti Noxon (an executive producer of Private Practice) is putting together a comedy concert sponsored by the Writer’s Guild. Eddie Izzard, Sarah Silverman, and Jack Black will play at Royce Hall (UCLA campus) at 8:00 p.m.

Noxon (pictured here) told the LA Times that the writers on Private Practice (and it’s daddy, Grey’s Anatomy) will pay their assistants (who aren’t in the union) out of their own pockets. Said Noxon:

“Everyone needs to feel writers aren’t just out here on our own fighting for our own issues. Members of all unions are affected by the strike.”

Well said, Marti Noxon, well said.

I can’t think of a better spokesperson. Private Practice’s Amy Brenneman will be part of the next Dove Real Woman campaign.

“I am excited to participate in a program empowering real women to showcase their talents,” said Brenneman. “The Dove Supreme Cream Oil Body Wash Ad Contest is an exciting opportunity for real women to define their own version of luxury. A relaxing shower is one of my top luxuries every day.”

Check out her ad here.

In an interview with TV Guide, Brenneman says she knew Private Practice would be a hit. She didn’t have a doubt about it, unlike her costar Tim Daly, who wasn’t so confident. And who could blame him? He’s probably had a time or two to get his hopes up – what with shows like Eyes (which I loved, incidentally).

Brenneman likes Shonda Rhimes’ ways of writing flawed characters, like her role as Violet. In her real life, however, she seems very down-to-earth and not vain and loony like some Hollywood actresses can be. (Not that I’d name them here. Or maybe I will. But not today.)

On a separate note, I’ve just started reading The Jane Austin Book Club. VERY GOOD so far. I plan to see the movie (in which Brenneman is part of) after. (I’m just not the type of person to see a movie first and then read the book. The books are so much better. I need to get inside the book first.)

Anyways, in The Jane Austin Book Club (the movie, not the book) Brenneman appears with Maria Bello, who coincidentally will also be in her next movie: Downloading Nancy. Downloading Nancy, incidentally, looks DARK to me. It’s about someone who goes on the Internet to find a guy to kill her. Eeesh. (This blogger said, shivering.)

Like her role on Private Practice, Brenneman plays the psychiatrist. Interesting. Let’s hope she can do a better job with Nancy than Violet did with “Trunk.”

New Private Practice tonite… which may be the last one for awhile, if what Kate Walsh said on The View is any indication. It’s hard to tell, given the amount of interrupting those other View hosts do, but it sounds like tonight’s eppy will be the last new one until the writer’s strike ends.

I didn’t get to see Kate on the The View, but I did hear she was great. (As always.) She’s very charming and funny and makes a great guest. Here’s here appearance the last time she was on The View, just after she got married:

Don’t you love how Elizabeth Hasselbeck makes the lame comment “Do you know anyone that has an open marriage?” Kate looks at her like she’s nuts.

Anywho, tonight Dell puts up a fight for Naomi. I’m not sure how I feel about this. On one hand, I do not like Sam and Naomi so happily together. They don’t seem like they ever really went together, and also HE LEFT HER so I doubt he’d really want her back so soon. On the other hand, it might be fun to see Naomi and Dell together for a while.

We’ll also get to see more of Cooper and Charlotte doing the nasty. Here’s a clip in case you’ve forgotten:

I have mixed thoughts on this storyline as well. I liked the surprise of having Cooper hook up with Charlotte instead of Violet at the end of the last episode. And I do think it will be majorly awkward in the office when Violet realizes Cooper has DONE IT with the lovely (choke) Dr. King. Seriously, if she were not thin and blonde, would any man want this woman? That voice alone is enough to make you stay away, not to mention the bitchiness factor.

Should be an interesting one. Here’s the preview:

Can’t wait to chat all about it. See ya back here after the eppy.

I’m always amazed at how prolific the stars of Private Practice are in regards to other acting projects. We’ve got KaDee Strickland currently starring in American Gangster, Amy Brenneman starring in The Jane Austen Book Club, and Audra McDonald doing all kinds of stage work. McDonald’s current project, A Raisin in the Sun (the made-for-TV-movie based on the play), will be screened at the Sundance Film Festival in January. A Raisin in the Sun has an awesome cast. Besides McDonald, it stars Phylicia Rashad, Sean Patrick Thomas, and Sean Combs (that’s P. Diddy to you and me.) McDonald and Combs are the ones pictured, as if I needed to tell you that. Incidentally, Combs is in the part originally played by Sidney Poitier.

Astonishing, ain’t it?

Speaking of the Sundance Film Festival, this year’s “theme” (of sorts) is “films that explore individual ways of coping with a distressed world.” Bet you didn’t realize there WAS that many films that explore ways of coping with a distressed world, did you? Bet you didn’t realize the world was that distressed.

Well, I didn’t either. But another one of the films featured is Downloading Nancy starring none other than Private Practice girl Amy Brenneman. Brenneman plays Carol in the film (not Nancy, alas). Downloading Nancy is about an unhappy wife that meets a guy over the Internet and orders him to kill her, but then the two of them…. wait for it…. fall in love. (You knew I was going to say that, didn’t you?)

Downloading Nancy also stars Rufus Sewell (pictured – yum), Jason Patric, and Maria Bello.

(Sewell, Brenneman, Bello, and Patric are pictured here.)

With all the question and uncertainty regarding the writer’s strike and what will happen with our favorite TV shows, one thing is certain: Private Practice has stood out as a top choice with viewers. According to the Globe and Mail.com:

Only one new show - the Grey’s Anatomy spinoff Private Practice on CTV - has managed to crack the top 20, a barrier that usually determines whether a show will become a big generator of advertising revenue in its next two years.

Speaking of the writer’s strike: I fully support the writers. I do. I get what they’re asking for and think they should have it. Plain and simple. But I have to say, their site Speechless Without Writers is beyond boring. Click over and check out some of the videos… do it… now… I’ll wait….

Ya back? Good. First of all, I get what they’re trying to illustrate here. We all do! Our favorite characters can’t speak without dialog written for them. Ya. We get it. You don’t need to film a three minute video with various Hollywood stars staring at pieces of blank paper. Nor do you need to have a “scene” with two Oscar winners saying: “Blah, blah, blah!” and “Blah, blah, blah?”

Yikes.

Is this suppose to hammer a point home about the actual strike? Because all it does for me is reinforce my belief that Hollywood stars generally have too much time on their hands.

One idea I DO like is from United Hollywood’s blog where they offer the chance to show your support by buying a box of pencils to send to studio execs. The box is only a buck each, and I can see the exec’s get mucho annoyed by thousands of pencils arriving on their desk. So that idea gets a thumbs up (but still doesn’t make up for the lame videos.)

Here’s our support once more at Watching Private Practice:

PLEASE END THE WRITER’S STRIKE!

TODAY (if possible.)

Thanks much! Hugs and kisses…..

Ms. Magazine is 35, and Amy Brenneman (along with her former costar Tyne Daly) are helping to celebrate. (Brenneman and Daly are pictured here when they appeared at the 10th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards.) Ms. And the Feminist Majority Foundation (FMF) are holding an event tonight at the Wilshire Ebell Theater in Los Angeles. Featured speakers include Gloria Steinem, Carol Moseley Braun, and Congresswoman Maxine Waters. Brenneman (and Daly) will also be in attendance, along with Kathy Najimy, Margaret Cho, and Alfre Woodard.

Brenneman is known as a fearless activist for women’s issues. (She’s pictured here at the March for Women’s Lives on the National Mall in Washington DC in April 2004.) I found an interesting online chat with her from a few years back in which she talks about her support of Pro-Choice and why. When asked why she takes this position, she says:

“I am passionately pro-choice because I believe in a woman’s right to use her body in a way she believes in. I wouldn’t say that I am pro-abortion because I believe that every pregnancy deserves careful thought and consideration and all options should be open to conscientious women.”

I found her comments very interesting, especially given the all or nothing view of most people on the subject. This is one area in which women can come together and agree to disagree if need be, but shouldn’t attack each other. Women need the support of other women. Even if you don’t agree with what someone is doing, taking an arrogant view of the situation and judging someone else will only serve to polarize your viewpoints further. The more that happens, communication becomes lost. The only way to learn from one another is by listening completely so you understand where people are coming from.

While the rest of us were probably overeating and being thankful this past holiday weekend, Kate Walsh was frolicking on the beach with her new hubby, Alex Young. Check out these pictures – she looks mucho hotto. Are we sure she’s really 40?

In another note, Patrick Dempsey has told the Toronto Sun that things on the Grey’s Anatomy set are calmer and less dramatic this year. He seems to hint, however, that part of the issue was not only the Isaiah Washington leaving the show, but also Kate Walsh’s parting to start Private Practice. When asked about Kate and the new show he said:

“I think it’s a very awkward situation to find yourself in when someone is going off to a spin-off and it was a difficult year last year for obvious reasons … I think it’s settled now. We don’t discuss it. It’s one of those things, it’s too close to discuss. We’re more concerned with where we’re at with our show and are the characters growing.”

It seems like one of those, “I won’t say anything negative, so I’ll be snarky but quiet” type of statements. I’d heard a rumor that some members of the cast of Grey’s were slightly unhappy with Kate getting the new show because it was understood none of the cast would be spun off.

That may have been true once upon a time (pardon the Enchanted pun), but if a character so obviously seems to stand out, and even perhaps – fails to truly fit in on another popular medical drama – maybe the character should get their own show. Especially if the character were popular and cool all on her own. Dontcha think?

In case any of us needed convincing, here’s a great video highlighting Addison. It’s set to Tom Jones; “She’s a Lady.”

One thing is clear: our favorite TV characters don’t speak with their own brains. They can’t. They are fiction. In other words: They need writers.

From everyone I’ve talked to personally or heard from via emails to this blog, the vast majority of people wholly support the writer’s strike. Heck, even John Edwards got into the act by picketing in front of NBC Studios on November 16th. (He’s the one pictured at left for all of you folks living under a rock.) Here’s a great video on what’s being asked for by the Writer’s Guild and why:

Today the Writer’s Guild and studio heads go back to the negotation table. The last time they met was on November 4th. And we all know what happened there: The writer’s went on strike the very next day. According to the Hollywood Reporter, “The guild and studios have implemented a press blackout on Monday’s session, which is being held in an undisclosed location.”

That’s probably because a federal mediator has joined in the fun. And no wonder. With the support the strike has seen, every related means of Hollywood employment has been affected: from catering, to actors, to cameramen. And so on.

I commented in an earlier blog entry about the bigwig writers (including Private Practice’s own Shonda Rhimes) joining the picket lines. It is this support that gives voice to the other unknown and less well-paid writers. Perhaps if the support continues, we’ll see an end to the strike soon. Wouldn’t that be nice? An early Christmas present! Now that I’m into Addison and Pete and Cooper and Violet and all their kookiness, I don’t want to be left hanging. For some other of my show favorites, like The Office and 30 Rock, that need is even more persistent.

In this age of unreasonable demands and pampered celebrities, what the writers are asking for seems so very reasonable. Everyone except this dolt seems to agree with them. I hope the studios kick it into gear and agree also.

We’re talking kids here. Private Practice kids that is.

That seems fitting, given that the show is about babies and reproducing.

Anywho, Amy Brenneman recently told the Bend Weekly News:

“My life changed in every possible way down to my cellular level when Charlotte was born, then heightened when Bodhi came along,” she explained. “I’m now a different person who feels vulnerable for the first time in her life. I’d always been an invincible kind of gal. A friend of mine puts that love for my kids this way: ‘It’s like having your heart walk around outside your body.”

She also says the Private Practice set is a friendly one for kids and families. (She’s shown with her daughter and husband here.) When asked about coming back to TV, she talks about meeting Tim Daly before on her old show Judging Amy. (But then I’ve already covered that little twist, haven’t I?)

Speaking of kids, newlywed Kate Walsh jokes with People Magazine that she’s pregnant with triplets! (It’s a JOKE folks. She’s a busy woman, with NO TIME to start a family yet.) She says:

“Right now my baby is Private Practice … she is beautiful and strong, growing every week.”

Besides, if they had to write a pregnancy in for Addison right now I think the character would go nuts. Especially after her getting hit on by that hunky cop last week and having to turn him down in order to meet up with Pete. (And then Pete stands her up….ooooh, it’s gonna be an interesting one on Wednesday!)

Speaking of which, it looks like George Segal will be on an upcoming episode, playing Dell’s (Chris Lowell’s) grandfather. You remember George… he was recently on Just Shoot Me. He’s been nominated for an Oscar… he’s good. Very funny. Now will they write his character as serious or humorous? I’m opting for a little humor. Besides that, I think Dell has a great sense of humor and it would seem only fitting that he gets it from his grandpa.

Came across this rant by Jennifer Godwin over at E entitled “What Practice Needs to be Perfect.” (Did you catch the little play on words there? Kind of cute.)

Seems Ms. Godwin found a few things just a little irritating about our beloved Private Practice. She starts by saying that the show is simply awful. Then she goes into five points on which she bases this opinion. Now here’s the thing, I DON’T think the show is awful. I think it’s a new show; it’s a spin-off and NOT supposed to be Grey’s Anatomy. I think it has also gotten better week by week. Nevertheless, I thought it’d be fun to answer her points. So here is E’s rant and then my response under “WPP” (that stands for Watching Private Practice for all you new folks!)

So here we are, point by point:

E’s rant: These Are Shallow Characters.

WPP: Well here’s the thing – we are just getting to know these characters. When you first meet someone, you don’t know the depth of him or her. It takes a while. That’s what’s so interesting about people (and characters), is that you peel back layers little by little. But it doesn’t happen all at once.

E’s rant: The Emotional Arcs Are Unbelievable.

WPP: This is a drama. You know that right? And to answer the rant about Violet not getting over her boyfriend… trust me on this, in my other gig as an online dating guru I get emails from many people each week who lament about not being able to get over their boyfriends (or girlfriends for that matter.) That’s a reality of life, and personally, I do think it makes Violet very interesting.

E’s rant: Stop Dumbing Down Addison.

WPP: Once upon a time Addison was all elegance and competence, huh? Was this when you first met her? People aren’t one dimensional, and we’re starting to see Addison isn’t either.

E’s rant: And Really, Does Everything Have to Be About Food?

WPP: One eppy about food! Do you have TiVo? Maybe you should actually watch more than one episode. It’s not all about food. (Some of it involves drinking too! Haha…. But I digress… next point please????)

E’s rant: Inner Peace Is Not Covered By Our HMO.

WPP: In the real world doctors are short-sided asses at times… but do you really want to see a show about that? If you’re looking for Oceanside Wellness to mimic your own doctor’s office… why don’t you just hang ou there and get your fill of reality? The rest of us will watch TV, in particular this show.
