Little Faggot

Even on Hollywood's Second Biggest (And First Drunkest) Night, Isaiah "Dr. McChokey" Washington found himself unable to escape the lingering spectre of Chokegate, in which the homophobic slur Washington allegedly hurled while in the middle of a high-minded debate with co-star Patrick Dempsey over their professional relationship launched other co-star T.R. Knight out of the primetime closet. While Washington offered a red carpet soundbite expressing his unbridled enthusiasm for all things queer ("'I love gay. I wanted to be gay,' he said. 'Please let me be gay'"), the controversy-hungry press corps wouldn't let him off the hook when he arrived backstage following Grey's Anatomy's Globe win. Reports Access Hollywood:

After a reporter questioned the validity of the on-set incident, Washington denied his involvement saying, "No, I did not call T.R. a faggot. Never happened, never happened."

In response to Washington's use of the slur when addressing the situation last night, Heigl spoke out.

"I'm going to be really honest right now, he needs to just not speak in public. Period. I'm sorry, that did not need to be said, I'm not okay with it," Katherine told Shaun.

Blogging Idol

American Idol has fired up again, like a blast furnace! Ratings through the roof, and plenty of bad, really bad, singers.

First stop was Minneapolis. What can you say when one of the winners is an admitted crack baby? They do love the military folks, even if they’re only so-so singers, they have heart and they’re wearing a uniform, so through they go.

Was Paula drunk? Who knows? Who cares?

There was the Shakira wannabe who was better than the Jewel (who was a guest judge) wannabe.

We have the secretary whose boss paid for her trip and accompanied her there. Nothin’ fishy goin’ on though (snicker)

We have the not very good auditioner who was told to try an Abba song. ABBA??? OMG, my ears are bleeding.

On to Seattle. Ugh.

They brought many of the contestants on the short bus. I’ve never seen so many Downs Syndrome people that weren't on a field trip with their caretakers from the institution. Then there were the giant eyes. Giant crazy eyed people EVERYWHERE. It was like a bad anime come to life. Simon even said one of them looked like a, “jungle creature with big eyes - a bushbaby”.

Then there’s the poor chubby girl with a bad bleach job that brought her mother. Eerie resemblance. Hey mom! Buy that child a brassiere! Her nipples are not supposed to be on each side of her belly button!

It was sad and hilarious all at once. I wonder what the public humiliation and cruelty extravaganza is doing to our culture. But I couldn’t turn away. Hey Paula, gimme a sip of whatever you’re drinkin’!

Yvonne De Carlo of the Munsters Dies

Yvonne De Carlo, the film and television actress best known for her vampire character Lily Munster on the classic 1960s sitcom "The Munsters," has died.

She was 84.

De Carlo died of natural causes Monday at the Motion Picture and Television facility near Los Angeles, said longtime friend and television producer Kevin Burns said Wednesday.

"The Munsters" lasted from 1964-1966, but it had a long life in syndication and resulted in two feature movies, "Munster Go Home!" (1966) and "The Munsters' Revenge" (1981, for television). She'll forever be Herman Munster's (Fred Gwynne) beloved wife, who stood by the bumbling Frankenstein's monster through all his misadventures.

"I think she will best remembered as the definitive Lily Munster," Burns said. "She was the vampire mom to millions of baby boomers. In that sense, she's iconic."

Along with "The Munsters," De Carlo is also remembered for playing the wife of Moses in the epic motion picture "The Ten Commandments."

She also had roles in "McClintock," opposite John Wayne; "A Global Affair" with Bob Hope; "American Gothic" with Rod Steiger and "Oscar" with Sylvester Stallone.

De Carlo was born Peggy Yvonne Middleton in Vancouver, British Columbia, on Sept. 1, 1922. Her shapely figure helped launch her career in B-movie desert adventures and Westerns in the 1950s.

Later, she had a key role in a landmark Broadway musical, Stephen Sondheim's "Follies."

The actress was able to sustain a long career by repeatedly reinventing herself. A longtime student of voice, she sang opera at the Hollywood Bowl, and when movie roles became scarce, she ventured into stage musicals.

De Carlo's death comes less than a year after the death of Al Lewis, who played Grandpa on the "The Munsters." Gwynne died in 1993.

De Carlo married stuntman Bob Morgan in 1955 which produced two sons, Bruce and Michael.

After highly publicized splits and reconcilations, the marriage ended in divorce in 1968.
