“SNL” Fires Two

The other day, news came that Saturday Night Live had hired two new female cast members for the upcoming season.  Now word comes today that the show has also fired two female cast members.  Therefore, these new additions were actually replacements.

Michaela Watkins and Casey Wilson, two cast member who joined the show in the last season, are no longer a part of the cast.  Both had some memorable moments on the show, Watkins as the Bitchpleeze! blogger and Wilson as…well, I don’t remember a lot of Wilson’s parts but I know she was there.  As usual, Lorne Michaels hasn’t given a definite reason why the girls were let go.  He’s sneaky like that.

Watkins released this statement to The Comic’s Comic:

I will say to you now, though, that I had a GREAT time there. Met some of the most truly talented and fantastic people, had the most exciting job and I honestly can say I don’t have any regrets I can think of right now. Although it seems kinda crazy right now, this may shake out to make sense to everyone. Lorne isn’t known for indulging in any lip-service and I feel very encouraged by his words last week. I’m working on something I’m very excited about now, so… the journey continues, and I feel so lucky I got to stop off at 30 Rock. It was awesome.

Carrie Prejean lawyers up

Ready for war!

What the hell is going on with former Miss California USA Carrie Prejean?!  Is TMZ right, is the beauty queen really suing the Miss California USA organization?  She’s only doing damage to herself!  Can’t she just let this whole thing die?

As I stated, TMZ is reporting that Ms. Prejean is ready to sue.  In response, Miss California USA’s lawyer wrote up an angry (but justified) letter.  Basically, he said that if Ms. Prejean doesn’t stop bad-mouthing the organization and its director then they will spill the beans about her.  If she tries to sue the company for defamation she better be ready for story after story about how rude and unprofessional she was.  They’re ready for this war if Carrie wants it.   Sounds like a pretty serious warning.

You can read more about the letter at the link.  Personally, I hope this little battle continues.  I think we can all agree that Carrie is a spoiled brat.  The more she fights this, the worse she looks.  And that’s saying something when she’s going up against Donald Trump.
