Rachel Griffiths

Brothers & Sisters gay karaoke and Sally's SAG bustup

Yesterday we shared some spoilers about the last two episodes of Brothers & Sisters. ABC has released a number of publicity stills for the final show, "Compromises" due to air February 17th. The highlight of the episode looks to be a junket to a gay karaoke bar with Kevin & Scotty as well as Sarah (Rachel Griffiths) and her new beau Graham (Steven Webber). More pictures appear after the break.

In totally unrelated news, a story has leaked that Sally Field got into a verbal slugfest with Screen Actors Guild president Alan Rosenberg. (You might remember him from L.A. Law and/or Cybill.) Reportedly, Sally was incensed about the delay in resolving the writer's walkout and launched a scathing attack on Rosenberg for his lack of leadership in getting the parties to the bargaining table. According to press reports...

A representative for the actress concedes the discussion did take place, but insists it did not get out of hand, telling the New York Post's gossip column PageSix, "(Field) did not throw a tantrum. She was sitting next to Alan (Rosenberg) at the table and wanted to talk to him, she didn't corner him. She thought talks should have begun sooner and was trying to relay information from other actors that contract negotiations should begin sooner rather than later, and he became incensed. She had to raise her voice to be heard over his. She has every right to express her opinion to him.

Ooh, you don't wanna cross Momma Nora. What do you want to bet she runs against Rosenberg for SAG President in 2009 when his current term is up?

If she does, things could get nasty. Rosenberg can always use Fields' unfortunate '86 Playboy appearance against her. (The hilarious Playboy shot appears after the break along with those Scotty/Kevin/Sarah gay karaoke shots. What bounty!)

Rachel Griffiths defends gay snogging on Brothers & Sisters


This comes courtesy of Towleroad. Rachel Griffiths is interviewed in the forthcoming issue of Entertainment Weekly and talks about the responses she's received from fans over all the gay kissing that the show manages to air.

 

Griffiths: "I’ve had older women come up to me: 'Could you tell your writers I can’t deal with those gays kissing all the time!' And I’m like, 'How do you feel about a black person and a white person kissing?' They’re like, 'Well, that’s all right.' And I’m like, 'Well, you know what? Your mother probably would have been uncomfortable with that. So you just have to get with the program.'"

Hurray for cool Australian chicks. The Entertainment Weekly issue with the full Griffiths interview hits newsstands tomorrow
