The Closer: 4.8 -Split Ends' Review
www.grrltv.com - 2nd Sep 2008
Kyra Sedgwick: Although definitely not the best or most riveting episosde of The Closer so far this season, “Split Ends” does have its moments. Many of them, in fact, are comedic, which is a nice counterpoint to the very grave and extremely depressing topics the show has tackled in recent weeks.
The main murder of the installment involves a 33-year-old Hollywood hairstylist named Rachel Hughes, whose viciously beaten and bloody body is found underneath a trailer on the lot of her popular TV show Trauma Unit. It’s easy enough to determine where Hughes works since the crime takes place practically on the set, but not so much when it comes to where she actually lives when she goes home.
A little basic detective work reveals Hughes has m

Vanessa Marano on “The Closer”
Vanessa Marano had a guest appearance on a recent episode of TNT’s The Closer. The episode, entitled "Problem Child" (ep 4.06), aired on August 18th. In this episode, Brenda (Kyra Sedgwick) investigates a 13-year-old missing boy, Sergei. Vanessa Marano plays the sister.
The boy was adopted from Russia and had run away before. Apparently he was not a nice boy, as we learn from his sister Theresa (Vanessa Marano), who is a goth and angry teenager (who drives!). Sergei had cut off her hair and
The Closer's "Power"-ful New Season
I have just have one question for you Closer fans out there: How is Brenda Leigh going to get through her job without sugar! I know she's handling it, sort of, by laying off the chocolate, but how strong is her will power? OK, if it were me, I would pick Fritz (Jon Tenney) and the possibility of motherhood over HoHos and Ding Dongs, but that's me. Brenda — well — could sugar win out?
Let's rewind for a second: Last season's theme was all about "family", and Brenda sure had a lot of family time last y
Masterful actresses know how to accent the positive
The other night while watching The Closer with my lady love, I had to giggle when she said, “Wow, Kyra Sedgwick’s Southern accent is so thick!”
What my girlfriend didn’t know — and what...
Oprah Winfrey the highest-paid TV personality (wait for it...)
Oprah Winfrey's making some bank. According to TV Guide's annual rankings of the highest-paid TV stars, Oprah comes out top - by a loooooong way!
She earns a whopping $385 million a year!
The next-highest-paid is American Idol's Simon Cowell, with a "mere" $50 million a year, and David Letterman nets about $32 million.
In other categories, Charlie Sheen is the highest-paid in primetime, earning $825,000 per episode of his sitcom, "Two and a Half Men." CSI's William Peterson - who is leaving the sho
TV review: 'Canterbury's Law'
For those of us who consider the tough-talking dame battling fear and other demons to be among America's most valuable natural resources, it's been a pretty good year for television.
First there was the return of "The Closer" and Kyra Sedgwick's personally fragile but professionally tough homicide detective. TNT also gave us "Saving Grace," Holly Hunter as another dogged detective with personal issues, though these were more along the hard-bitten sex-booze-and-cigarettes line. Over at FX, Glenn Close and
The Closer Exclusive: Is Starsky a Killer?
And if he is, does Hutch know?
Sources tell me exclusively that Paul Michael Glaser has been tapped to guest-star on TNT's The Closer this season, appearing in the July 21 episode.
The set-up: When a recently paroled murderer is found dead in an alley, the parents of the girl he previously killed wind up in Brenda Leigh's sights. Glaser plays the dad, while Amy Aquino (aka ER's Dr. Janet Coburn) is the mom.
The Closer, of course, is known for enlisting some of the best (if not "garden variety") gue

Early Emmy Predictions Not Good For Sci-Fi
It seems that Mary McDonnell has a better chance than anyone from SciFi Channel's "Battlestar Galactica" to be nominated for an Emmy award, but even her chances aren't that great.
The Los Angeles Times' The Envelope Web site has released its predictions on who could be up for the coveted television statue and who won't when nominees are announced July 17, and it's not looking very good for science-fiction ... as usual.
McDonnell is listed among 13 actresses considered to be a "favorite" by the paper t
