Thorsten Kaye is "Disappointed, but still confident"
ALL MY CHILDREN's Thorsten Kaye blogs on the Red Wings-Predators NHL playoff series, which is tied up at two games each now after his Red Wings lost their second in a row: "I’m not nervous, not yet. I’m a little disappointed; I’m always disappointed when people don’t play to their potential. But I know that this is nothing new to the Wings – last year they were up 2-0 on Calgary and ended up dropping the next two and winning in six. But that level between desperation and panic needs to be a little finer, and they have to get on the desperate side of the puck. These guys are great but they have to want it. I think they will." Editor's Note: The Predators are my favorite team. :)
Jesse Metcalfe paid for Playboy Playmate ex-Girlfriend's surgery
Jesse Metcalfe reportedly paid for his Playboy Playmate ex-girlfriend's boob job when they were dating. The former PASSIONS AND DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES star - who previously dated Girls Aloud star Nadine Coyle - is said to have been so desperate for curvy Colleen Shannon to increase her breast size that he paid for the operation. A source close to the actor said: "Jesse loves women with big breasts. He thought Colleen was the perfect woman, but was lacking in one department, so he decided to make her the ultimate woman."
Is DH headed for a five year gap?
"Televisionista has been following the DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES beat steadily, providing some tantalizing rumors about where the show might be headed in the next season. One possibility for the fifth season of the suburbia satire has the show jumping ahead five years, leaving the viewers to catch upon what has happened in the meantime. Intriguing enough, but the latest addition to that rumor gets even more interesting: in it, only one of Wisteria Lane's desperate househusbands will still be around when the show picks up five years later, and he'll be sharing his home with Andrew Van De Kamp."
