ER Celebrates 300th Episode - Mekhi Phifer Welcomes New Baby
It looks like October was a good month for the long running drama ER - They recently celebrated their 300th episode. Unfortunately not everyone could be there to join in the celebrating as some former ER cast members did not attend the event.
George Clooney, Julianna Margulies, and Noah Wyle could not attend claimed a rep for Warner Bros studios.
You know what? That is just wrong! ER launched the careers of these actors and the LEAST they can do is stop in for a drink and say thanks to the producers, casting directors and directors who took a chance on them. If you ask me, that’s just bad etiquette. You don’t just snub the hand that fed you for… Oh I don’t know… at least 6 seasons - I’m guessing (Or more in Wyle’s case). To have 300 episodes is a milestone in the television industry as most shows don’t see life beyond 5 or 6 seasons. Shame on you Mr. Clooney! Were your praises about the show total lip service?
However, according to UsMagazine.com who was on hand at the bash stated that John Stamos and Linda Cardellini were in attendance and flirting it up all night and even left together. Stamos appeared inebriated (good thing he wasn’t FLYING) as Cardellini asked him repeatedly if he was “all right”. Hmmmm Now there is a storyline for Sam I hadn’t considered. Think about it for a second; the characters both have kids that are relatively the same age on the show so they can share in growing pains of young adulthood.
the 300th Episode extravaganza will air this week at 10pm (More on that later this week!)
In other ER Family News, Mekhi Phifer welcomed his son Mekhi Thira Phifer (a Mekhi Jr? Nice!) On October 30th, Phifer and his fiance are hoping to have a large family so this is just the beginning for them! Congratulations!

If you ask me you should look for more info before jumping to conlusions. I don’t know about George Clooney but Noah Wyle was in Memphis, shooting a movie. Julianna lives in NY and she was 8 months pregnant.
They weren’t feed up for nothing, they contributed to ER’s success. They have worked 80-hour weeks for years: it’s called do ut des and I think it has been quite enough to praise the show.

To the author of this blog: Why in the world are you so worked up over a couple of “irritating/nasty comments”??? For crying out loud, if you’re going to make powerful pronouncements like, “That is just wrong!” at least let your readers have THEIR turn at expressing their equally strong opinions and quit bitching about us over at the WAHM boards. :rolling eyes:
If you think this is irritating, try writing about something like politics. THEN you can complain about “irritating/nasty comments” because you’ll certainly see far worse than what’s been posted on your celeb-gossip blog.

I am writing to say that I am very sorry for any hurt I caused you. I have no excuse for my behavior this morning. I am embarrassed and deeply sorry.
