6 November 2009 10:52 AM, PST | TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide - Breaking News news »
Golden Girls star Rue McClanahan is doing well after undergoing a cardial bypass, according to the actress' rep.
"She is doing absolutely great," McClanahan's rep told Access Hollywood. "She went for her physical the other day and her doctor didn't like what he found.... She was in great spirits when she went in for surgery yesterday. She's resting in a hospital in [New York] and she'll probably be out in a week."
The unexpected surgery forced McClanahan to cancel her appearance at a Nov. 14 tribute event in San Francisco. "My darlings, I'm just devastated that I am going to have to miss my own tribute at the Castro Theatre," McClanahan said in a statement to The Advocate, which first reported her hospitalization. "Unfortunately, my doctor has laid down the law, and I'm currently having some maintenance on the old ticker. Trust me, I'd much rather be in San Francisco having fun and »

McClanahan Recovering After Heart Bypass Surgery
6 November 2009 12:11 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Former Golden Girls star Rue McClanahan is recovering after undergoing an emergency heart bypass, just days after her doctor spotted a problem during a routine medical examination.
The 75-year-old actress was hospitalised earlier this month after a physician noticed a problem with her heart while undergoing tests for a planned knee operation.
McClanahan, best known for her role as Blanche Devereaux on the hit series, apologised to fans for having to pull out of Golden: A Gala Tribute to Rue McClanahan at San Francisco's Castro Theatre on 14 November.
But despite insisting she just needed some "maintenance on the old ticker", the star was rushed into the operating room on Wednesday to undergo serious heart bypass surgery.
However, her pal Del Shores reveals the op went "very, very well," adding, "She's going to be great and up and entertaining us all very shortly." »

It's not anything against females, it's just the cartoon is a fond childhood memory. On the other hand, AfterEllen.com could do a story about Rudolph and her lesbian relationship with Clarice.

Best. Gay. Week. Ever. (October 16, 2009)
15 October 2009 6:47 PM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
Last weekend's Equality March in Washington D.C. got me to thinking about how far we have — and haven't — come in the fight for gay equality. But since AfterElton.com focuses on pop culture, I'm going to look at things through that lens and leave the political analysis for Pam's House Blend, Americablog, Bilerico and the other assorted gay political websites that cover the topic.
One of the very first times American television addressed the subject of gay men (bisexuality was almost never addressed) was way back in 1954 when the L.A. based tabloid talk show Confidential File presented "Homosexuals and the Problems They Present." Hmm, I'm guessing it wasn't terribly flattering unless it was about how boring straight people looked in comparison to us 'mos.
San Francisco's public TV station did the first ever documentary, The Rejected in 1961 and it wasn't until 1967 that a television show first featured a gay storyline. »

Quick Snaps: Rue McClanahan in Austin
1 October 2009 11:00 AM, PDT | Slackerwood | See recent Slackerwood news »
Television and theater star Rue McClanahan was in Austin last weekend for the Breast Cancer Resource Centers of Texas (Bcrc) annual benefit. She kept several hundred attendees entertained and engaged with stories about acting onstage, how she met her current husband Morrow Wilson, and how she discovered that she had cancer.
Although best known for her role as Blanche Devereaux in Golden Girls, McClanahan has also appeared on the big screen throughout her acting career including the comedy Out to Sea (1997) and Starship Troopers (1997). I asked Ms. McClanahan about her Starship Troopers experience, and she stated that she'd loved working with that nice Dutch director, Paul Verhoeven.
At the end of the keynote speech, the audience and Rue participated in the creation of a new "no talking during the movie" bumper for the Alamo Drafthouse. I won't reveal the details, but suffice to say Rue handled it firmly and elegantly. »

70th edition ‘Wizard of Oz’ available now
29 September 2009 9:28 AM, PDT | t5m.com | See recent t5m.com news »
In 1939, cinematic history was made in the form of The Wizard Of Oz, and seventy years later, the world will see the film in a whole new light. The film, which has been overlooked by noone, starred the one and only Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale and was directed by Victor Fleming. Wizard Of Oz took viewers through an exotically colorful journey to the land of Oz, and introduced characters such as the Tin Man (portrayed by Jack Haley), the Scarecrow (Ray Bolger), the Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr), the Wicked Witch of the West (Margaret Hamilton), and, of course, the Wizard of Oz (Frank Morgan). Lauded for its incredible translation of L. Frank Baum's masterpiece novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the film was the first of its kind in technicolor and continues to stand arm-in-arm with some of cinematic history's greatest contributions (which also include two other films of that year - namely, »

16 September 2009 9:02 PM, PDT | Celebrity Mania | See recent Celebrity Mania news »
One of "Glee" leading actors, Lea Michele, has joined PETA for its campaign to stop animal cruelty. In a picture, which is posted on the official website of the animal rights organization, the star is seen posing in a black shirt with the note "Say No to horse-drawn carriage rides" being tagged on the bottom.
Along with the image, there is a report which mentions that Lea is among some celebrities "who 'don't stop believin'' that the cruel and dangerous buggy biz needs to be done away with." The 23-year-old beauty joins some famous celebrities, such as Pink, Pamela Anderson, Alec Baldwin, Rue McClanahan and Chrissie Hynde, who also support the campaign.
Previously, "Inglourious Basterds" star Eli Roth has also joined PETA. Appearing in a new public service announcement (PSA) for the organization, he was seen kissing a boa which squeezed him. At the clip, the actor stated, "While violence in the movies is make-believe, »

Bio Channel is set to premiere Celebrity Ghost Stories, a series where stars recount real-life encounters with the paranormal, on Oct. 3. The list of storytellers is already pretty compelling: David Carradine gives one of his last interviews to share how he married a widow and became frequently visited by the jealous spirit of his wife's ex. ("In a chilling twist of irony, the haunting takes place in his bedroom closet," the press release teases.) Then you've got John Waters, Rue McClanahan, Joan Rivers, Carrie Fisher, Greg Grunberg, Debi Mazar, Barry Williams, Illeana Douglas, Lili Taylor, Tom Arnold, Morgan Fairchild, Scott Baio, Gina Gershon, C. Thomas Howell, Eric Roberts, Justine Bateman, Carnie Wilson, Dee Snider, Teri Polo, Lisa Rinna, Elisabeth Rohm, Nia Long, Traci Lords, Sammy Hagar, Ernie Hudson, Jay Thomas, Ali Landry, John Salley, James Kyson Lee, Kelly Carlson, Federico Castelluccio, and Anson Williams (Happy Days' Potsie, who's most »

We've got some good news and bad news for Betty White. First, the good: Today, SAG announced that White would be this year's recipient of the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award, handed out next January. Good for her! Hopefully, that will make up for an anecdote Rue McClanahan shared at a memorial to Bea Arthur yesterday in New York, where McClanahan told guests about the first time her husband introduced himself to an inebriated Arthur. "Rue, I love," Arthur was said to gush. "Betty White's the c - - t!" [Village Voice] »
Bea Arthur Remembered at R-Rated Tribute
15 September 2009 4:00 AM, PDT | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »
Golden, indeed: Heavyweights from the stage and TV gathered at Broadway's Majestic Theatre Monday to pay tribute to the late Beatrice Arthur, mixing tears with loud laughs - and ribald recollections that would have been bleeped had the 2½ ceremony been broadcast on TV. Instead, speaking live before a near-capacity house, Rue McClanahan told of the time her Golden Girls costar opened in her own 2002 one-woman Broadway show and graciously invited McClanahan and her husband, Morrow Wilson, to the opening-night performance and party afterwards. Admitting Arthur - who died of cancer in April, at 86 - often wasn't at her best when she was drinking, »

Maude: Angela Lansbury Hosting Tribute to Friend Bea Arthur
3 September 2009 6:03 AM, PDT | TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news »
While theatre-goers knew Bea Arthur for her work in Mame, Fiddler on the Rood, and Bea Arthur on Broadway, those of us who love television will always remember the actress for her roles on shows like All in the Family, Maude, and The Golden Girls.
Arthur, who died in April, was indeed a veteran of both stage and television. Those two worlds will come together later this month for a special tribute to the Emmy and Tony Award-winning actress. Longtime friend and Mame co-star Angela Lansbury will host the event.
Among those either performing or offering remembrances will be Norman Lear (creator of All in the Family and Maude), Adrienne Barbeau (Maude), Rue McClanahan (The Golden Girls), Zoe Caldwell, Chita Rivera, and Billy Goldenberg, Arthur's longtime accompanist.
Celebrating Bea Arthur will be held on September 14th at the Majestic Theater »
