Dish of Salt: The Top 15 Most Awkward Couples On TV!

November 5, 2008

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

In honor of the news that ABC is letting go of Dr. Erica Hahn on “Grey’s Anatomy,” ending her budding romance with Dr. Callie Torres – I have come up with a list of the 15 most awkward couples on TV right now.

Dr. Erica Hahn and Dr. Calle Torres (“Grey’s Anatomy”) - Unfortunately, Erica and Callie’s friendship-turned-romance was a disaster from the start. The whole storyline just took us into TMSI (too much sexual information) territory, which turned fans off rather than on. “Grey’s” should look at how the romance is playing out between Kevin Walker and his love, Scotty, on “Brothers and Sisters” for how to portray a proper gay couple.

And speaking of “Grey’s Anatomy” let me also mention two other awkward couples…

ACCESS EXCLUSIVE: ‘The Hills’ Are Alive – With The Sound Of Neighborhood Chaos!

June 25, 2008

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. --

In another example of local residents versus the paparazzi in Los Angeles, popular MTV show “The Hills” is the latest combatant to get drawn into the war.

“The Hills,” currently filming in a residential Hollywood neighborhood where lead character Lauren Conrad has bought a house, has local residents upset by the ensuing cacophonous parade of paparazzi and onlookers resulting from the production’s presence.

Neighborhood sources tell AccessHollywood.com that MTV has turned the residence into a commercial sound stage for the purpose of filming the show. The house is located in a R-1 single-family residential zone.

However, several government offices (and MTV itself) say that MTV has handled everything appropriately, and the problem is, in fact, the paparazzi and gawking tourists.
