Members ljacks13 Posted April 18, 2007 Members Share Posted April 18, 2007 The Logan Report by Michael Logan TO The Rescue: SoapNet's I Wanna Be a Soap Star lost credibility last year when its grand prize - a 13-week contract role on One Life to Love-went to the charismatic but talent-free Mikey Jerome. (He was dropped by the ABC soap ASAP.) And now Soap Star has competition; In Turn, the vastly superior suds-star search at cbs.com. What to do? Bring in an icon. When Soap Star returns in August the prize is a gig on Days of Our Lives Hogan Sheffer as a judge - the first time the person who has to create a role for the winner will actually sit on the panel. "I'm taking this very seriuosly," says Sheffer, a quadruple-Emmy Winner. "This is no throwaway contest. We will find a real actor." He and the other judges (Days star Mary Beth Evans and talent manager and Simon Cowell wannabe Michael Bruno) have already whittle down 60 semifinalists to their dream 10. "I came into this cynical, but I'm floored by the talent SoapNet found," says Sheffer, adding that he "won't be flip or malicious with my comments. Let Bruno be the bitch."

Members KMan101 Posted April 18, 2007 Members Share Posted April 18, 2007 I had no idea Mary Beth Evans would be a judge! What happened to Debbi Morgan? And OMG ... I love Hogan! "Let Bruno be the bitch!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JER Soaps Fan Posted April 18, 2007 Members Share Posted April 18, 2007 That "Let Bruno be the bitch" comment is rather controversial. Is Bruno "out" of the closet or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Port Oak Valley Posted April 18, 2007 Members Share Posted April 18, 2007 Im surprised to see that Mary Beth is a judge, I was expecting Debi. I bet she does good and offers great advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DrewH Posted April 19, 2007 Members Share Posted April 19, 2007 I'm shocked to hear that Mary Beth Evans is going to be a judge. That's awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PhoenixRising05 Posted April 19, 2007 Members Share Posted April 19, 2007 YAY!! MY MARY BETH!! . Hogan loves her so I shouldn't be surprised. He probably convinced her to do it. I wonder if they decided to change judges based on last year's fiasco. I am happy though and it's nice to hear Hogan speak. Wish he would talk about Days but whatever. He seems ok and like his usual self so that is a good sign. It's also a good sign for Steve/Kayla fans worried about them being cut loose as MBE is going to be a active part of this. Can't wait to watch!! Should be fun!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Posted April 19, 2007 Members Share Posted April 19, 2007 .....I see no controversy. And what does Hogan saying "Let Bruno be the bitch" have anything to do weather or not Bruno is an "outed" homosexual or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shawn Posted April 19, 2007 Members Share Posted April 19, 2007 I agree. He was making a joke. There is no controversy here. By bitch he means mean person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted April 19, 2007 Members Share Posted April 19, 2007 I didn't know Bruno was in...he seemed pretty "out" to me on the show... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JER Soaps Fan Posted April 19, 2007 Members Share Posted April 19, 2007 Ryan, if you were unaware, a woman sued (I believe successfully) because a man once said "Get thee to a nunnery!" Sounds innocent enough, but the judge ruled that it suggested she was a slut, and had ruined her reputation. I'm pretty sure I read, in my law classes, that "bitch" is one of those iffy words as well. Particularly in today's society, with its implications of gay prison sex. In other words, Hoagn betta CHECK himself befo' he WRECKS 'imself!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted April 19, 2007 Members Share Posted April 19, 2007 ...Why is there no free clinic for you? This is what the Reagan health care policy wrought. Michael Bruno is the bitchiest queen I have seen on TV in years. Anyone who wants to act shocked about his orientation needs treatment, nor do I think Hogan Sheffer was referring explicitly to it.
