The
Tabloids: The Rutlanders Will Collapse! |
| Just
two weeks after Britney Spears stormed off the set of "The Rutlanders"
shouting semi-obsenities, she's come back home, but with conditions.
This
is all comes as ABN's "The Rutlanders" is struggling to make it to the
end of its first season, marred by cast problems and infighting. Spears
come back to the set on two conditions: 1) She would be payed twice her
normal per episode fee of $10,000, and 2) She will only have to perform
a minimal amount of scenes with Lucinda Lane, the co-star who she blew
up at a few weeks ago. A personal friend of Spears confides that "Brit
and Lucinda really hate each other and it's starting to show up on the
show. Brit doesn't want her fans to know what a bitch she can be
sometimes."
Viewers of the series will notice that Lane and Spears will rarely
appear
in a scene together. Most of the time they tape the same scene
separately
and then it's pieced together in editing. But series creator Doug Bush
denies the whole affiar. In a quick interview done outside a West
Hollywood
Safeway, he was quoted as saying "What the hell do you want?" Perhaps
some
of the 18 cartons of Hagen Daz you were carting out, Mr. Bush.
Elsewhere on the Rutlanders
set, Jenna Moreno is telling friends she's uncomfortable with her And in the most explosive piece of "Rutlanders" news yet, actor Doug MacRare was fired last week after complaining that his role was becoming smaller and smaller. "All the girls on the show want me," he told a close pal, "So why don't I ever get any face time?" That was enough to send creator Doug Bush over the edge. MacRae had been complaining all season about his role and has threatened multiple times to leave the series, so this time Bush did work for him- literally. He'll take over the roll of Doug effective immediately. As for MacRae, he's moving back to his hometown of Paris, Ontario, Canada to straighten everything out in his head. |
character,
"Ellen." Though she has more than enough boys after her on the series,
she's says she hates how her character's begin pushed towards
"gayville."
As she told a confidant- "I'm trying to be the next Jennifer Lopez, not
the next Ellen DeGeneres." She may
have a fight on her hands- creator Doug Bush wants to keep the series
open
to any possibility, and the only thing "The Rutlanders" is missing is a
gay character, although the never seen transsexual Tracy is wondering
around
somewhere.
