young and the restless

Professional bullshit artist psychic and non-clipper of fingernails Sylvia Browne will be appearing in a three-episode arc on the daytime soap opera The Young and the Restless starting December 7. Browne will be playing herself. There's no word on what exactly her role will entail, and I won't know afterward either, because I'm not going to watch the damn thing. Still, I have to say that placing Browne in a fictional setting does kind of make sense, considering everything that comes out of her mouth is fiction anyway.

Eva Longoria says she's moving on to movies after her run on Desperate Housewives ends. She's just not saying when that will be and it sounds like it won't be anytime soon. The revelation came in an interview with the Associated Press, but this article neglects to mention why she's done with television. I can only imagine it's because she got her first taste of big time movies last year in The Sentinel with Michael Douglas and Kiefer Sutherland, and realized the schedule is a lot less hectic than a weekly television series.

Longoria, who is only 31 years old, has pretty much always worked in television. Her first big break came on The Young and the Restless where she played Isabella Brana Williams from 2001 to 2003. She had a couple of modeling gigs and a cancelled show, Dragnet, before Desperate Housewives made her a mega-mega-mega star in 2004.
