Housewives (and Husbands…) In the Headlines
Doug Savant and wife Laura Leighton
The actors are mad, and they aren’t gonna take it anymore! 31 SAG members, including our own Doug Savant, have decided they’ve had enough of the war with AFTRA and the Producer’s stalemate and they’ve decided to take action. They have called their group “Unite for Strength” and have demanded that SAG leadership allow members to vote on the deal Producers offered recently. Some, if not most of them, will also be running for positions of power in the union as well. They feel the war with AFTRA has done nothing but hurt everyone and want to get a deal finalized. The positions in question are going to be voted on by September 19th. This all comes after a talk between SAG and the Producers failed to do well… anything on July 16th. I say good luck to them and go for it! It’s about time someone puts a stop to this mess.
Teri Hatcher is among the first of the main Housewives to make the promotional rounds. Hatcher recently sat down with ET to talk about the new season of the show. She said she and Mike will be sharing custody of their son and that Susan has a more “pulled-together personality”. Sounds like we won’t be seeing Susan accidently looking herself out of the house again (or little Maynard into a moving van) and other such clumsy moves. I guess we’ll know for sure in September. Teri is also keeping busy with Band from TV. They’ll be playing again on July 26th, entertaining the crowd at a Fullerton Flyers game. Coincidently, our own James Denton is not only in the band, he owns the team! I didn’t realize that… looks like owning a sports team is a big thing in Hollywood and the Music business.
Finally… the Housewives stars are taking over TV! Lee Tergeson, who you may remember as Bree’s AA Sponsor/former love interest, has become the latest former/current cast member to join a TV show. He’ll be on an HBO series about the Irag War called Generation Kill. Congrats to him!
