The Kiss We’ve All Been Waiting For

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

Don’t lie. You know you’ve wanted to see it. You could cut the sexual tension between Sam and Tony with a knife and it’s been going on for weeks. I admit, I let out a little gasp when she kissed him. That’s right. If you missed it, Sam laid a Big Ol’ Smacker right on Tony - and it’s just in time too…

I’m not saying that sexual tension is a BAD THING. Goodness NO! I actually like a little sexual tension. Makes you work harder for it right? Makes the end result all that much sweeter and even a little hotter doesn’t it? Though there are some poor unlucky characters who are still working through their sexual tensions.

Ahem… Anyway, what I am trying to say is that the sexual tension between Sam and Tony was almost getting to be too much. What with Sam’s constant complaining and nagging -  the idea of a nurse second guessing a doctor!? But then in the next blink she is making eyes at him, smiling a coy little smile - He’s no angel! Tony is absolutely eating it up.

I don’t know what everyone else thinks about this match up but I really like the idea of Sam and Tony together. In my opinion, I think they are more evenly matched, more so than Neela and Tony EVER were. There is more of a chemistry between these two characters, albeit somewhat highschoolish, it is still an attraction and the flirtation between the two is a welcome site to the show. (Because seriously I don’t know how I feel about Skye and Dubenko together - though the words "GROSS" and "EW" come to mind).

Just in case you did miss THE KISS, a fabulous youtube member has been so kind to upload it for us so take a moment and enjoy THE KISS that we’ve been waiting to see.

John Stamos Says No to Kids and Yes to Playing Doctor

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008
Ok so it wasn’t the same kind of cutting edge, life saving medicine he does as Dr. Tony Gates; John Stamos did get to flex his ER muscles recently on the set of ER when an extra on the show dislocated their knee.

According to PR-Inside.com, Stamos assisted the extra by popping it back into place and icing it for them. Apparently this happens to the ER actor on occasion himself so he is familiar with the technique. Just to be sure he was practicing proper medicine though, one of the on staff nurses checked his handiwork.

Awwww now isn’t that nice of him? It looks like his medical training (albeit it staged) is coming in handy. Unlike his faux pas in Australia last year remember those reported "sleep aids"? At any rate it looks like some of this extensive medical rehearsing is finally paying off for him.

If you happen to be watching ABC on February 25th, don’t forget to look for John Stamos as he helps Sean Combs when they bring “A Raisin in the Sun” to network television. (You know him as P Diddy, Sean Puffy Combs, Puff Daddy… Oh you know who I am talking about). The show will air in the 8 P.M. time slot so make sure to get your Tivo ready!

John is so in support of the Writer’s Strike that he has reportedly stated thinks the strike will save ER. Well now, didn’t I say that awhile back? Stamos has stated that he is doing all he can to keep ER on the air for another season. He realizes he is made for TV and doesn’t want to lose the spotlight. We appreciate your dedication to the job Doc!

In other John Stamos news, he recently sat down with his mom for an interview with Extra during the “Denim and Diamonds” charity event for Vanguard Cancer Foundation; A charity that his mother founded after John’s uncle passed away from Cancer. During the interview mom talked love and grandchildren while John said he would “Dump them off at grandma’s…” I don’t doubt that especially after his split from Denise Richards was reportedly because of her children. Apparently John just isn’t up to the challenge of the whole package deal when it comes to single moms. The rumor however is that Stamos just wanted to cuddle up to Richards for a little celeb booty call… Talk about playing Doctor!

Wonder what his momma thinks about that?

Thoughts on The War is Home: ER Season Premiere

Monday, October 1st, 2007

Can Moretti Run the ER?

Alright. So did you watch or did you miss it? I watched. Honestly, I thought the show lacked its usual luster until Gates flipped his wig and attacked the patient who started the riot and then began parading him around the ER. Crazy right? Not as crazy as reassigning him to the ICU.

I will be honest. I was in and out of watching ER. In fact, I missed nearly all my favs on Thursday night. I gave up the last 15 minutes of ER because I couldn’t hear it to begin with (I had a sleepy baby in my arms and didn’t want to turn it up to wake him). I know… Where’’s my dedication to the show? Oh believe me, I have it but are you like me? Do you miss the seasons past when they did the show live? To me those shows felt like the ER. Very hyped. Very electric with emotion and tension.

I think that this is what this last one may have been missing. That certain amount of edge of your seat that we love about the show.

Plus, I know I am contradicting myself here (a bit) but I don’t really know how I feel about Moretti yet. I know that I blogged about Stanley Tucci once before but (and please don’t think that I am recanting what I originally said, I am not), but I don’t know if this is the role for him. I guess I expected more from him in the season premiere but it didn’t live up to what I expected.

Tell me what you think: Was this season premiere a let down compared to some of ER’s past premiere episides? What do you make of Stanley Tucci now? Am I being picky? Is it too early to tell?

Stamos forgets his Med School Training in Aussie Interview Ooops

Monday, July 9th, 2007

13994455451press772007121311am.jpgI don’t know about you but anytime one of my favorite actors makes a… Well, (ahem) Dingbat (for lack of another word that I can’t use here), of themselves, I feel embarrassed for them and a little outraged for their complete lack of professionalism.

Such is the case of John Stamos who by now you all know has been tossed around on the web like a flaming hackey sack for his bad behavior on one of Australia’s morning talk shows. His slurred speech and out-of-it behavior had the tabloids on both ends of the globe buzzing about possible drunkeness.

Stamos fired back that unlike David Hasslehoff, he has no drinking problem.

Not long after that videos surfaced on the web to back up John’s fuzzy interview causing Stamos and his PR people to go into panic mode and blame the whole thing on jet lag.

Possible but from Cleveland, OH to Sydney, AU fans weren’t buying it.

Now completely caught up in a would-be scandal, Stamos is revealing that the bad performance on Australia National TV was brought on by side effects from the prescription sleep aid, Ambian.

Uh, Ok but excuse me, Dr. Gates, but shouldn’t you have already learned about the possible side effects of sleep aids early on in your medical training? Just curious.
