by Eliza Ferree

Here’s a youtube video clip of the Cast from Ghost Whisperer wishing everyone happy holidays.

Jennifer Love Hewitt- Happy Holidays from cast and crew at Ghost Whisperer.

David Conrad- All I want for Christmas is someone with some self-respect, to buy the Pittsburg Pirates and make them a winning team.

Camryn Manheim-  I am wishing everyone an Obamalicious holiday season and a blissful Bushfree new year. (something tells me she wasn’t a fan)

Jamie Kennedy- All I want for Christmas. (someone interrupts stating he can’t say that) Why?

A.J. Set Pa & Christoph Sanders-  Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

Then the whole cast says it. Each cast member gets on and wishes everyone Happy holidays and to have a blast.

Chyler Leigh is Pregnant

by Eliza Ferree

Grey’s Anatomy’s star Chyler Leigh is pregnant with her third child. However the show will not be adding the pregnancy in. I’m guessing they will have her behind things or die off. Man I hope they don’t kill her off.

Woody Harrelson, of Cheers, went off and got himself hitched. But that shouldn’t surprise fans since he got married to his long time girlfriend, Laura Louie. The two got married over the weekend in a Hawaiian styled wedding. They already have three children, no news if there will be a new one on the way. But they do look happy together.

Congrats!

CSI loses Grissom, Gains a Doctor

by Eliza Ferree

Grissom is will be leaving CSI beginning tonight, which means many fans will be left in tears and asking why. But will they be able to pull off a replacement for the diehard fans? Probably not, but they are going to try.

Laurence Fishburne, aka Dr. Raymond Langston will be coming in. Dr. Langston had worked at a hospital when a colleague of his turned out to be the Angel of Death. His character is upset that he never saw it happening and now is on the war path and watching everyone. This could be trouble for the CSI team though.

But as the actors/actresses of the show have said, there just isn’t way to replace Gil Grissom. His character alone can’t be re-done in any way, there’s a magic about the way he is and a charisma about him.

Stick around to see how Grissom goes out, should be interesting.
