Blind Items to Ponder

OMFG! A megastar parks where he wants and pays the tickets because he can afford them? Hey, he's trying to stimulate the city's economy.

Read here:

This A list comedian with A+ name recognition apparently cant be bothered with parking meters or valets or parking garages. Instead he seems to get some kind of perverse thrill of accumulating as many parking tickets as he can. He always pays his tickets, but just hates looking around for a parking spot or finding change for meters. Thus he parks where he wants for as long as he wants. Total amount of money spent on parking tickets last year? About $40,000. That total includes being towed on average of about once a month when he parked in a fire zone. It also averages out to about one parking ticket per day for an entire year. *Crazy Days and Nights*


Your so fired and you don't even know it!

Hopefully, you'll all be intrigued by today's blind item. But if a certain TV star is reading this, they should squint extra hard to read between the lines. How come? They've been canned -- they just don't know it yet!

Yep, it seems an original cast member of a hit series that's popular with Ausholes (and yours truly) has been pink-slipped without the benefit of being given a pink slip. A combo platter of budget cuts and creative redirection is being blamed for the firing, but it also bears mentioning that said performer was never going to win any popularity contests with their co-stars.
As for why the MVP still hasn't been told that the unemployment line is reserving a spot for them… well, that's where things get really interesting. According to my mole, there's still a snowball's chance in Hollywood that the producers might have a change of heart.

If, or when, the axe does fall, the regular's on-screen alter ego isn't likely to be killed off. Although death has cast a shadow over many a plot, this personality's demise would probably be deemed too morbid, even for this show.
So, stars... readers... readers who are stars... Call your agents and get guessing! Oh, and memo to my higher-ups at EW: Don't bother asking me who it is -- this is one blind item I won't be blabbing about! *EW*


Note: Apparently, the fired person is from a show that does not air on the CW or FOX.

Leave your guesses (real, creative, or otherwise) in the comments.

My initial thought was Grey's Anatomy--maybe Izzy/Kat, with her negative press? Wouldn't be Lost. Those characters are all specifically important.

What other ensembles deal with death? Heroes? I don't watch it, so I neither know nor care.

Hmmm....

I'm leaning toward George on "Grey's." He has had absolutely nothing to do this season.

And "Heroes" is absolute garbage and we should never mention it again.

Ah, George IS leaving!
