Writers Strike gves John more time to prepare for his second child.

The writers' strike has shut down production of TV's Scrubs – which is not entirely a bad thing for star John C. McGinley's wife, Nichole Kessler, who is pregnant with a girl.

"I'm, like, telling the cravings to kick in now because hubby's around and he can go and get it," Kessler joked at Wednesday's premiere of John Cusack's new film Grace is Gone.

So far, she says, McGinley hasn't had to run out in the middle of the night to pick up a carton of ice cream, as the cravings haven't started yet. Not that the actor hasn't been busy at home.

"In my first trimester, I was very morning sick and so John did all of the shopping," she says. "He's the best husband in the world."

And as of this week, there's even more free time. "I can do everything now because we stopped work yesterday," says McGinley.

This is McGinley's second child; he has a 10-year-old son, Max, from a previous marriage. But it is a first for Kessler, who has been studying up both via book and email with the aid of perennial baby classic What to Expect When Expecting.

"Yes, of course, I get the emails everyday!", she said. "They also have an email program 'What to Expect When You're Expecting.' It sends you an email, and then I also read the book, of course."

Added the father-to-be, " Nicole forwards me the 'What to Expect' whenever it's kind of titillating or interesting. You know, they tell me about how much fluid is in there."

Scrubs off the air for the WGA strike

I'm not sure when Scrubs will reappear on the schedule with new episodes. The Writer's Guild of America is currently on strike, so when the remainder of the taped shows airs there will be a gap of new Scrubs episodes.

I heard that the creator of the show will not write a cheap wrap-up episode to the season to use as an impromptu series finale because he feels that would be cheating the fans. I agree, wait until the strike is over and then film the rest of the episodes.

As you may well know this strike is affecting not only all scripted television show,s but motion pictures as well.

I hope it will be over soon enough and the writers get what they are asking for.

John and Nicole expecting a baby

http://www.nbc5i.com/whattheel/14370060/detail.html

Actor John C. McGinley and his wife Nicole Kessler are expecting a new addition to their family.

The ‘Scrubs’ star told People magazine, “We’re having a baby!” while attending the show’s Season 7 premiere party. “I’ll give you the inside scoop, we found out it’s a baby girl, and she’s coming February 2! So that’s our big announcement. That’s our big thing.”

This will be the first child for the couple. McGinley has a son, Max, 10, from a previous marriage.

"Nicole and I want to have an army," said the McGinley. "You know, we want to have as many kids as we're lucky enough to have. I've always wanted to surround Max with brothers and sisters and that's what we're going to do!"

Scrubs starts up this week

Dont miss it this Thursday, its the seventh and final season for the show. I'm hoping JD and Elliot get and stay together.

John becomes spokesman for Miller Lite

According to this BRANDWEEK, John has filmed some spots for Miller Lite, as the "Commish" of the More Taste League. Spots are set to run in a few months during football season. More details are HERE.

Happy Birthday John!

Today is John's 48th birthday, I wish him a great day and weekend with his new wife and his son Max.

Thanks for making so many great movies John!

DVD releases

A few movies John starred in are due to release in August. Wild Hogs is released on August 14th and Are We Done Yet? will be out on August 7th. I've seen both films and they are really funny.

Dead Head Fred

Hope everyone is having a great summer so far. I just heard about a video game in which John is doing the voice of the main character. The game is called Dead Head Fred, and will be released for the PSP gaming system.

Take a look HERE for the details and images.

Are We Done Yet? ebay auctions

http://stores.ebay.com/Are-We-Done-Yet-by-Hollywoodvault6

There are some auctions online for the props and clothes used in the movie Are We Done Yet? Including a bunch of John's wardrobe.

I already snagged a few myself, I got his inspector cap, his overalls, and his bathrobe ensemble. Total cost? 26.00 for everything.

I guess not many people know about the auctions, but go check it out, they still have a nice Lakers uniform with his characters name on the back, and some shoes and a monk robe. All screen worn. All the bids are only at a few dollars right now, but go fast, they end in a few days.

Best of luck.

Scrubs will be back for a seventh season!

Good news Scrubs fans, your favorite show will return for season 7, however it will not be a full season as far as I know. From what I gather online, it will only be given 16 episodes.

I'm guessing this will be the final season given that Zach Braff has said on his myspace page that they want to finish the show their own way and not with some unfinished cliffhanger or story.

This is good news and bad news. Although I would like to see the show go on forever, all good shows must end and it has been given a great 7 seasons, most good shows get clipped mid-run.

Dont miss Zach Braff hosting SNL this week, I believe its the finale of the season.

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. McGinley on their wedding!

It seems that John C McGinley has wed his fiance Nicole Kessler over the weekend at a ceremony at his home in Malibu, CA. This comes as news to me but I thank imdb.com for letting me know about it. I wish them both the best of luck. Here is the article that appeared today on imdb.com:

Scrubs star John C. McGinley wed his yoga teacher fiance at their home in Malibu, California on Saturday. McGinley, who plays bitter doctor Perry Cox in the hit sitcom, proposed to Nicole Kessler last summer after dating the blonde for just over two years. Guests at the intimate family-and-friends nuptials included actor John Cusack, who hosted a rehearsal dinner for the bride and groom-to-be last Friday. McGinley's nine-year-old son Max, who introduced the couple during a beach encounter, accompanied his new stepmother down the aisle. It was the actor's second marriage; he was previously wed to Lauren Lambert.

Are We Done Yet?

"Are We Done Yet?" opens on Friday April 4th in theaters. Check out the official webpage HERE.

Its been a while since John has had two movies out this close to each other. Since Scrubs started he put movies on the backburner a bit. This movie looks funny and seems to give him a pretty big role.

Dirt Nap has changed its name

The movie Dirt Nap that was filmed last year (and I think is being shopped around for distribution) has changed its name to "Two Tickets to Paradise."

Check out its new official homepage HERE.

Wild Hogs, Friday March 2nd.

I hope you fans of John will go see Wild Hogs to support him. It looks to be pretty funny. I have read a few mixed reviews from screeners of the movie, but they all said that the audience loved it.

Scrubs' Charlie Brown Christmas

I found this on Zach Braff's myspace page. Its the Charlie Brown Christmas Special redone with Scrubs cast members. John plays the voice of Dr. Cox on Linus' character.



Hilarious!
