Exactly three years ago, I wrote a "Happy birthday, Jackee Harry!" post on PopWatch, encouraging Marc Cherry and/or Shonda Rhimes to hire the brilliant comic actress for a recurring (or permanent) role on Desperate Housewives and/or Grey's Anatomy. Neither one took my suggestion. (Boo! Hsss!) Thankfully, she scored herself a recurring spot on Everybody Hates Chris for a minute, but now that The CW has taken that sitcom down to the river with the brick and the brown bag, it's time to start the movement all over again: Somebody Get Jackee Harry Back On Network Prime Time. I am not even trying to kid around here. I cannot watch this woman in action without busting out laughing. Check out three clips below -- from something called The Reluctant Agent, as well as 227 and Dave's World -- and tell me you're not on board with Operation Jackée. If you're with me, »

In our interview last week with David Goyer and Dominic Monaghan, Goyer mentioned that they'd planned to introduce several more regular characters in the show after the first episode or two.  Dominic Monaghan was the first such announcement, and now ABC has released the second via press release today.  Gabrielle Union (Bring it On, Bad Boys II) will star in a recurring role on FlashForward this fall as Zoey.  Her character will be a criminal defense attorney and will have a romantic arc on the show.

"We're thrilled that Gabrielle is joining our cast," said executive producer David S. Goyer. "When we met with her, we immediately knew she was our Zoey. She's witty, soulful and beautiful. I've been wanting to work with her for a long time."

Gabrielle Union is certainly not new to television.  She began her acting career on the series Moesha and also had recurring roles on Sister, »

Bea Arthur, whose acerbic wit and dry delivery delighted national TV audiences on such long-running shows as "Maude" and "The Golden Girls," died Saturday at age 86.

She died peacefully at her Los Angeles home with her family at her side, family spokesman Dan Watt said. She had cancer, he added, declining to give details.

Arthur won two Primetime Emmys for lead actress in a comedy series, for "Maude" in 1977 and "Golden Girls" in 1988. In all, she received 11 Emmy nominations and nine Golden Globe noms.
