Today's Blind Items
What network drama is in danger of shutting down production because its lead has come down with the "flu"? The flu is actually a really bad drug habit that needs attention now. Producers and writers have been scrambling for the past week to figure out a way to write the character out of the next few episodes so the actor/actress can get help.

i hate to guess this, but i'll say christopher meloni and really hope that i'm wrong.
Damn this is hard, it has to be a show where the lead IS the show, hmmmm Johnnie Lee Miller from Eli Stone or Cristian Slater in his new show?
Lee Pace from Pushing Daisies?
Peter Krause from Dirty Sexy Money
Damian Lewis from Life? (Hope not, though.)
That guy from Life on Mars?
Except I think he is way too hot -
I like the Christian Slater guess
Can't be Lee Pace - that is a comedy - whew!
Hugh Laurie
I hope it isn't damian either, i think he is unusually hot.
Oooh, this is juicy!!! I don't watch a lot of network dramas though so I don't really have a lot of guesses. It doesn't say "hit network drama" either so it could be anything, really.
This is just a wild guess---Hugh Laurie from House? The show could not be done without him.
Whoever it is, I hope that s/he gets the help they need, whether the writers can write around them or not---whatever the show is, it will be a lot harder to write around a dead actor than one in rehab. One is a lot more permanent than the other.
teddymac, i hope it's not hugh laurie either.....
no no not Hugh
make it someone really sucky, PLEASE
The girl from new 90210-the one that was on Degrassi.....
Reefer Sutherland and 24?
is that even on anymore?
Ellen Pompeio and her clutch full of coke?
My first thought was Hugh Laurie but Keifer Sutherland is a good guess too. Although his thing has always been booze, I think.
Keifer has been in a lot of pics lately and looks GREAT (but I am biased)
Krause from Dirty Sexy Money could be right.
There have been no casting sides released for the show since episode 2.10 early this month. So either the show has been canceled, or they have hit some kind of production road block.
Uh...last time I checked, Chris Meloni was one of an ensemble cast. I would never deem him the SVU lead. He's as much a lead as Hargitay or Belzer, and I don't think it's them, either.
Also, I don't think this is Kiefer. I truly think that dude learned his lesson, and 24 JUST started up again; I can't really see them shutting down the set again to deal with another one of Kiefer's drug jags.
I think everyone on 90210 is on drugs, and I'm sure the producers don't give a shit. Keeps the girls skinny, you know? I don't think it's that show; can they afford to shut down production? I don't watch the new 90210 (SACRILEGE!), so I don't know if that Grimey girl is the lead. I know that I hate her teeth and she needs to eat a sandwich or four, though.
Hugh Laurie? Hell no. You can't do House withOUT House. Besides, I'm with a lot of you -- not him! Anyone but him!
I think Yellow's sleuthing uncovered the real deal: this is totally Peter Krause.
Taylor Momsen from Gossip Girl.
I don't think it's Kiefer, but I'll ask my sources.
I thought Christian was all cleaned up because of having kids and all....
Peter Krause, don't think so. He's so into the health thing, I don't think he'd pollute his body like that.
But I don't know who it could be either....
