Poor Megan Mullally Gets Shoved Onto The Starz Network
Filed under: TV News
In a desperate attempt to compete with HBO and Showtime, the Starz network is working on its own original programming.
Oh wait, they've been doing this for awhile you say? Damn! It really must suck then!
Bad news for Megan Mullally as she has just joined the cast of the network's comedy series Party Down. She will play "Lydia Dunfree, a middle-aged refugee from a lousy marriage who leaves small town life to move to Hollywood where her 13-year-old daughter Escapade hopes to make it as an actress."
Sounds awful. Hopefully it won't make it through it's first season.
Wait, this is it's second season, you say?!?!
Sorry, Megan! It officially sucks to be you.

Who is this? And..who cares?
You are truly an idiot — the show is hilarious and original. You truly have no clue what is coming out of your mouth, per usual.
Have you seen "Party Down?" I doubt it — because it's great. Paul Rudd produces it. It's a million times funnier and more real than "Entourage."
party down is a good show. Maybe try watching it before you comment on it Perez.
She will always be Karen.
Um, Party Down actually totally rocks! It's a Rob Thomas show, so it's hilarious.
Party Down is actually a very funny show. If you watched it before just blindly assuming it was bad, maybe you'd know that.
you are such a fat douche. you obviously haven't watched the show or if you have you'd know it's one of the funniest shows on TV. even if it was the worst it would beat watching your gay ass karaoke katy perry.
fuck off and die
You're an ass… Party Down is an excellent show, very funny! Pity they're losing Jane Lynch to Glee though.
Aw I miss Karen. I'll be looking out for this show though, it sounds pretty funny judging by the comments. Stfu Perez, you've never even seen the show.
um this show is hilarious and witty. have you ever even seen it???
I usually agree with what you have to say, but this post made me reconsider everything. It is a really funny show and it's original, asshat.
why the hating, p? she's fab and always will be!
Party Down is hysterical, you should give it a watch before dogging it! Looks like someones a bit slow on their pop culture.
:(…. i miss karen walker…
party down is a really good show!
xxoo her
Re: Nickster50 – Emmy award winning comedienne from Will and Grace you dumb ass…you are as fucking stupid as perez.
If youre gonna post the rude comments- have a clue what you are talking about first. Take your head out of Lady Blah Blahs ass every once in a while.
You wish you could be on Party Down it's hilarious. Maybe you should try watching it before you open your mouth about a show you're not smart enough to even know about. Write about what you know moron Gossip Girl.
Personally I think it sucks to be Perez….and I agree: he should take his head out of Lady GAG GAG's ass (or lusting over young men like Zach Efron, who he wouldn't have a chance in hell at bedding down) for a minute and he might know what the hell he's talking about. Megan was CLASSIC as Karen Walker and I think she's very funny. I hope she succeeds in the new show.
and what show are you gonna be in? sucks to be you.
HEY EVERYONE COME TO MY DUMB FASHION WEBSITE YOU SHOULD PAY ATTENTION BECAUSE I DRESS LIKE A RETARDED CLOWN IN THE DARK!!!
Seriously, shut the fuck up, Party Down is really fucking awesome. Maybe you should stop watching Wizards of Waverly Place and check out some television made for adults.
perez, shut UP! put down the seven nyne, pull your head out of your own arse and think (or research) before you speak! Party Down could run circles around the craptastic GLEE…. really, though.
Perez, I totally love you, but Party Down is amazing! You should watch it sometime. It's great! It'd definitely one of my new favorite shows, and I'm eager for the second season. I mean Martin Starr is brilliant!
I usually now hate EVERYTHING that is on this site, and this post really fucking pissed me off. She is clearly doing something that she enjoys and is loving every minute of it. WHY put her down? Especially someone that has been SO extremely generous and helpful to your gay community…and you're the first to throw her under a bus. Why would you wish failure to such a talented actress? You have NEVER SEEN THE SHOW, dumb fuck…so who are you to judge it?!!! It just boggles my mind that you don't have another black eye yet. Can't wait for that post in the near future.
its, not it's.
I watched the first season on demand and it's actually pretty funny. Jane Lynch is hilar!
The show's actually not bad. I was surprised!
Youre sooooooo wrong about Party Down. Its funny shit, and Starz has been improving their channel. They have a new series "spartacus" starting in January, which is going to put Starz on the map. Paul Rudd, cmon! the guys a riot, and so is this show!
Perez: Just because a show doesn't have a lot of hype, doesn't mean its bad. Party Down is HILARIOUS and original. You have been such a twat lately! What's your issue?
perez, as usual, making an ass clown out of yourself, party down is amazing!!! you have zero taste! i have seen your wardrobe!
this show is actually really awesome so perhaps you just haven't heard of it. give it a try mannn
That show ROCKS!!! So funny!
you are such a douche. such a massive piece of shit. i am done with this website. you are just so pathetic and sad. i know im just one person but i bet you will be losing many people. WAY to many gossip websites out there that dont talk so much shit. i hope someone else beats the shit out of you and soon.
I watched the first season of Party Down thru Netflix. It was quirky, witty and absolutely hilarious! You should give it a chance before you dog it!
STARZ IS DESPERATE VERY DESPERATE…I MEAN HBO IS TAKING ALL THE HITS WITH TRUE BLOOD and ALL THE HOT MEN IN THE SHOW MAKE THIS THE BEST SHOW EVER AND WE ALL LOVE HBO FOR THE SHOW WERE HOT MEN BRING THEIR BIGGEST HITS AND ALL TYPES ARE HOTTT thanx HBO for ALL THE SEXY BOYS IN TRUE BLOOD
it's actually supposed to be a really funny show. maybe do some research there babs before you write you, as always, sublime piece of copy.
yeah I think i am getting pretty all set with Mario and his sister Babs (who does most of these posts anyway). It's getting pretty done around here. We'll have to ask John Heine when perez jumped the shark…was it when he started calling lady gaga "wifey"? or was it when he got beatup and recorded that response…anyone have thoughts on this?
Yes, sucks to have all that Will and Grace money coming in for the rest of her life.
LOVE HER. AND IM GOING TO SUPPORT HER ON EVERY SINGLE THING SHE DOES.!!
Wow Pee-rez, have you even seen the show? DAMN funny and original, and a great cast I might add. As usual, you might want to check it out for yourself before making crap judgments.
This is a hilarious show. Maybe watch an episode before you call it crap next time. What an insult to your readers.
First, why hate on anyone that's being responsible and has work in this shitty economy.
Second, I hope someone punches your donkey face soon.
Practically every comment here is about how good the show is, and how you clearly don't watch it.
If you read comments, Perez, you should write an "update" and admit at least that you hear the show is good from readers and maybe you were wrong.
This show is hilarious. I agree with a previous post…enough with lady gaga. Look deeper for some real talent.
i love karen walker
I love Party Down…and think she will be a great addition to the cast…she is a riot!!!
STEP ONE: Remove head from ass.
STEP TWO: Watch 'Party Down'.
STEP THREE: Realize it is an awesome show and that Megan Mullally will only make it better.
STEP FOUR: Make me some macaroni.
This show is quite hilarious, and is produced and created by paul rudd and rob thomas, both of whom you've figuratively jerked off in the past. A little research before you write, maybe?
PARTY DOWN was one of the BEST shows of last year!! it is so funny! the actors are hilarious and i think megan will fit in perfecT!!
Well, I guess she must feel real bad now. I'm sure her feelings are so so hurt that a miserable pig faced useless piece of shit that is going to die alone and rot in hell thinks it sucks to be her.
wow…if it sucks to be Megan Mullally (which I love), can you imagine how must sucks to be Perez?? Poor Perez…who can forget the way Madonna was looking at him in the 30 seconds meeting they had!! : (
Oh Perez, you’re just pissed off that USA TODAY scooped you on this. You love Megan Mullally, and your’re just pissed off that you didn’t get the exclusive.
You are trying to smear Megan Mullally, and she’s been nothing but wonderful to the gay community. You know she’s great, it’s a great show . The last exclusive you got was Lady Gaga.
And let’s be honest, after WILL & GRACE, Megan Mullally has more money than God, so she’s doing it because PARTY DOWN is a series she adores. Megan also rocks out in the RECEPTIONIST, and has received nothing but raves about her transforming performance. Go see it and then comment on that hater.
It's a fantastic show, and that sounds like an amazing character. There are endless comic possibilities when it comes to showbiz parents.
I just hope it's better than What Perez Sez. Everyone I know is talking about THAT show.
Re: mobius lion – The Toronto thing was a watershed event because he demonstrated for all to see what a pompous ridiculous ass he is. Tweet for the police, make a 12 min. video repeatedly cursing out Will.I.Am and using his idiotic catchphrase "violence is never the answer" like a crutch. Just 4 days later, he posted about Michael Jackson faking his own death. regards J
back off, megan mullally is freakin' awesome - like have you seen, i don't know, one episode of will and grace - geniusest show ever? or party down which is hilarious? obviously not if your talking crap about her. leave her alone, you're just hating because shes richer, prettier and more famous than you - and you would never get on any remotely good show.
sorry perez, i usuallly love you……but i love megan (and karen) more…
this is one of the funniest shows i have seen in awhile, man, this summer has provided pretty dull television with the exception of this show. Watch it, it is so good. you will have to update this post eating your words after you watch it!
Wish you had TASTE, Perez, because Party Down is a fucking AWESOME show. It's hilarious and totally original.
You should watch it some time.
i agree.. perez you fucking idiot- you would know what it was if it was on LOGO you douche
Re: slmnyc – hahhahahha
shame on you, Perez, saying hopefully it won't make it through the first season!! and it shows how informed you are, this is a great show and has gotten a lot of hype.
Re: mobius lion – i think when he started following gaga around is when he fell off..
I havn't read any of these other posts, but DaYamm, are you wrong this time! that show is hilarious an Mullally will be an awesome addition! dude, use your DVR once in a while, many folks are sick of the GAGA goo.
I feel compelled to put in my 2 cents: It's a very good show!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can someone at perezhilton PLEASE learn the difference between it's and its!!! You get it wrong ALL THE TIME!
Thank you,
Grammar Police
You failed perez. Party Down is a good show and Megan Mullally rocks!!
"Hopefully it won't make it through it's first season."
If you're going to be bitchy when you opine, at least be grammatically correct; your poorly written/constructed prose get in the way of your sentiment. I suspect what you meant to say was:
"I hope it won't make it through its first season."
I don't understand why you would say that, though. Why would you want it to fail? Because STARZ doesn't advertise on your site?
I LOVE part down its fresh original and fucking hilarious.
So this ghost writer really fucked up… the show is great and your post sucks big time!!!!
the stupidest thing about this is the daughter named "Escapade"
im so tired of writers trying to be witty or poetic
its getting lame and douchey
Party Down is AWESOME. I'm so glad it's returning for a second season.
Um, Party Down actually totally rules!!
Party Down is awesome! Jane Lynch was on season 1 but had to leave for Glee.
Critics love Party Down.
SHUT THE FUCK UP PEREZ. PARTYDOWN IS AN AMAZING SHOW.
you have no taste in anything: clothes. movies. music.
I have stuck by you, but now ive had it with you and all your bullshit.
PEREZ, You are a moron. I don't think you really pay attention to the world if it does not exist within in your particular and very insular sphere. To be honest I think you barely even write your "commentary" anymore. You probably have some idiot 20 year old unpaid intern writing this who cares about crappy music, crappy tv and crappy movies. This show is intelligent, hilarious and employs gay and lesbian actors, a topic you tend to care deeply about. I just wish you were more informed about the world and the nation you live in. While sometimes I greatly enjoy this website, sometimes it makes me sick that this is only sort of 'news' that some people get and read. Why don't you talk about the state of our country once in awhile? Health Care Reform, the fact that Barack Obama has yet to complete his Cabinet choices? Things that really matter to this world and matter to the celebrities we are all obsessed over.
you are way off on this one Mario. Party Down is the best show EVER! The one where he gets high and has cheetos smeared all over his face!
Party down is HILARIOUS. I'm looking forward to seeing her on it! I think this show will only grow in popularity from here on out. Every popular network's star rose at some point…Party Down very well may be that vehicle for Starz!
Thank you so much!!! Although you said some nasty things, I never knew this show existed until I saw this. Every episode is on Netflix. Probably one of the best shows I've seen in a long time! Megan should only make it better! They really should promote the show more.
"I don't want you to serve them two jiggers!" lol. The pilot was awesome.
"I don't want you to serve them two Jiggers!" The pilot was awesome.
Re: vegjenny – Still love you
You know what, FUCK YOU Perez. You whore the shit out of that fucking terrible ass sorority shit movie, and now you're fucking dissing an actually good show. You have shit taste, and biased opinions based on nothing but your own ignorance. So how about you shut the fuck up and talk about shit you actually know something about, instead of just spouting shit out of your ass. It's old.
I really wish that you would stop reporting on TV Shows. You obviously know nothing about them. You just copy and paste Ausiello and Kristen articles and then spew your uninformed opinion on their news. Some of us actually care about television as a media outlet, and what is being created. It's not just whatever crap to us. How would you feel about prominent voices in the media blasting Gaga just because she goes to an interview wearing an outfit of just Kermit heads. It sucks judging a book by it's cover, huh? Party Down is an awesome show, created by a group of incredibly talented people. Please stick to what you know, and stop spewing the hate on things you know nothing about.
HellOoOOooooOOOOO…Anybody in there???
THIS SHOW IS FUCKING SERIOUSLY HILARIOUS & BRILLIANT with A
CAST TO MATCH!!!
Another GENIUS show on STARZ is HEAD CASE…
All of you here who dig PD should definitely check it out!
Now back to YOU, POOR BB PEREZ…You should WATCH/THINK before you SPEW
B.S. JIZZY from your pie hole!
***Oh but you're probably to busy still watching 2000 LATE SATC EPISODES…Squeeeeing & flailing over the NEXT PIECE O' SHIT SATC MOVIE!!!
I first heard this blurb on the radio and thought my ears were deceiving me. There is no possible way a person could dislike Party Down and consider it a poor career move for an actor. Clearly, you have never watched it but are ready to write it off completely just because it is on STARZ? Really, that is your reason? You are a network snob? Just watch five minutes of an episode before you go shooting your mouth off about how embarrassing it is to join the cast. If you watch it and still don't love it, at least I will know it is because you are a complete philistine and not because you are a lazy, Negative Nancy who doesn't do any research.
