Sean Hayes Can Play Straight Because Tobey Maguire Somehow Paved the Way

· Sean Hayes and Kristin Chenoweth were on The View today, and wouldn't you know it, the Newsweek controversy came up! When asked how he felt about Ramin Setoodeh's assertion that he wasn't believable playing a straight person, Hayes called the argument "asinine" and eventually compared his ability to do so to Tobey Maguire's ability to play Spider-Man. Don't rub salt in poor Tobey's wound, Sean. Video after the jump. [Towleroad]

· She's not exactly Liza Minnelli, but the struggling Celebrity Rehab has lined up another participant in Shauna Sand. [TMZ]

· Carrie Fisher will play an employee of our sister site Deadline on an upcoming episode of Entourage. HBO: at the exciting forefront of televised blogger portrayals! [Deadline]

· Chris Weitz is busy shooting his new movie The Gardener in East Los Angeles, which merits a breathless NYT profile because no one there can believe there is actually an East Los Angeles. [NYT]
