"Desperate" Dismissee's Bad Rap
He's no K-Fed, but recently dismissed Desperate Housewives cellar dweller Page Kennedy is following in Mr. Spears' media-hatin' musical footsteps.
The actor has released a rap track, "Hold On," via his Website, chronicling his hiring and rapid firing from the ABC mega-hit over an alleged flashing incident on the set.
Kennedy's song starts off harmlessly enough, with the actor rapping about his excitement over his new status as a Wisteria Lane resident: "Best show on the air/Best show in America/ That's right, Page is right there...25 million viewers a week/25 million connoisseurs that'll speak highly of me."
His enthusiasm quickly wanes, though, when as his career goes from "on the verge of striking like matches" to his termination for what ABC called "improper conduct." Variety subsequently reported Kennedy's "improper conduct" involved someone on the crew, while the National Enquirer claimed he was let go for flashing two female coworkers.
"I'm wondering when I can hold up my chin/When this nightmare'll finally end...Follow me as I show you/What goes on in Hollywood/ Where everything is so wrong/Where they build you up just to tear you down," he raps on the track.
"Tabloids...Started spreading all of these rumors and allegations/Sad thing is they weren't even exaggerations/They were complete lies and the media seems to stick together like fat guys and Supersize fries."
Kennedy has stood by his original claim that Touchstone Television--the show's producer--simply decided to "go in a different direction" and bought out his contract.
Or, as Kennedy, raps: "Let me set the record straight/ My departure was part of a particular incident/That I'm done mentioning/What else can I say/They went another way/They recast me/Right after they unmasked me."
Kennedy also worries aloud over what his kids will think of the rumors, and at one point in the song there is a gunshot, followed by a little girl crying "Daddy?"
The actor, who has been off the radar since his dismissal, also addresses why he decided to release his song now, long after the tabloids have moved on from the incident.
"I put my words to music/Maybe I need a pen to get in all of my feelings/So the healing can begin...They goin' regret it/After they recast it won't be the same/You can tell 'em I said it/But no hard feelings," he raps.
Clearly.
The song can be listened to in its entirety on the actor's Website, www.pagekennedy.com.
