Oh, Anne

You have to love the ever talented, but always crazy Anne Heche. Celestia appeared on last night's The Late Show with David Letterman, supposedly to promote Hung, but ultimately knocking her ex-husband. While most celebrities would have skirted the issue, Heche answered all questions asked by Dave, and ranted about her "lazy ass" ex-husband, why she'll never get married again, and why Dave shouldn't have married his girlfriend. It was funny to a point - "Oh, I got another check from Anne! Yeah!," had me dying - but it went on too long, making her seem very bitter. Still, I wouldn't have my Celestia any other way. It's also interesting to note that Dave seems to be the host who gets the most honest and craziest celeb interviews. Over the years he's had a cursing Madonna, a boob flashing Drew Barrymore, an "out there" Farrah Fawcett, an odd Joaquin Phoenix, and of course, my favorite Nicole Kidman moment - the post Cruise divorce line, "I can wear high heels now." What is it about Dave that allows guests to be so off-the-cuff?

"End" of the Week - Thomas Jane

I'm really enjoying Thomas Jane's series Hung and happy about its renewel for a second season. Not only does a second season mean the potential for the series to become brilliant after the set up of the first season (a la Breaking Bad), but it also means Thomas Jane showing more skin.

Sunday Blessings - Thomas Jane

Today's edition of Sunday Blessings is devoted to actor Thomas Jane, star of HBO's new comedy Hung. I have high hopes for the series, and not just for the rugged sex appeal of Jane and the promise of his nudity, though that is a big part. The series co-stars two of my favorite underused actresses, Anne Heche and Jane Adams, who play his ex-wife and his pimp, respectively. Any show that can give these two women great material gets high regards in my book, so fingers crossed. I also hope for the success of the series, as I find Thomas Jane an interesting actor, who never really got his due. After spending most of the nineties appearing in bit parts, Jane flirted with becoming a leading man, starting with Deep Blue Sea, a crap film that was modestly successful. The film led to starring roles in Dreamcatcher, The Sweetest Thing and The Punisher, none of which were of high quality, though The Sweetest Thing always makes me laugh, and none of which did huge box office. Since movie stardom never came, switching gears and focusing on an HBO series, may have been his best career move. Jane can do comedy well, as evidenced by his guest appearance on Arrested Development as himself. I wish the best of luck to him and Hung. The show could make a great pairing with True Blood for a Sunday night male eye-candy extravaganza. Amen.
