The second season of “Boardwalk Empire” brought an abrupt end to the storylines of a few major characters, and now you can add another one disappearing into the great television abyss: Paz de la Huerta’s character, whose name I believe was “That naked lady. No, the other one. The whiny one with the hat. Yeah, her.” From TV Line:
TVLine has learned exclusively that the HBO mob hit has opted not to pick up the actress’ Season 3 contract option, which means viewers have likely seen the last of her character, Lucy Danziger.
Introduced in Season 1 as Nucky’s (Steve Buscemi) unhinged mistress, Lucy spent much of Season 2 pregnant and shacked up with Michael Shannon’s Van Alden (the baby daddy). Shortly after giving birth, she went on a formula run and never returned, leaving the baby in Van Alden’s care.
An HBO rep declined to comment for this story.
But now who will… But what about the thi… What will happen to the storyline about the… You know what? I’m okay with this. Outside of a very, uh, European attitude towards explicit and gratuitous nudity, I was never really sure what purpose her character served on the show. Besides, this should give Paz more time to pursue her real calling: going on drunken rampages throughout Hollywood. She’s a true artist when it comes to that. Keeping her locked up on set all day is kind of like making Picasso spend all day scrubbing toilets. It’s a waste of both her time, and ours. For society’s sake, let the woman create.

I applaud your choice of the picture for this post.
I know Uff disagrees, but THANK GOD. I hated every moment she was on screen (even when she was giving interviews because she was so similar to her drunken, whiny character).
Good on them. She was an annoying goes-nowhere character and I’m convinced they can find someone else to regularly get naked on the show. Maybe someone who doesn’t talk in slow-mo.
There are plenty of drunken naked European girls out there that aren’t whiny and annoying. I approve this move.
The moment she didn’t throw herself down the stairs with the baby is the moment I gave up on that storyline.
Now that she’s got some experience, Paz can finally drunken stumble into the porn industry – her true calling.
I’m wondering if we’ll see much of Van Alden in season 3?
Absolutely. I thought he was being written out until I realized where he moved. Cicero, Illinois. Where Al Capone built his empire.
I know I say this a lot when a difficult to work with, angry female celebrity gets fired but this time I really believe it’s going to happen: Sex tape in 5…4…3…2…1…
Nope. Sex tapes are for opportunistic fame whores, not crazy out-of-work actresses who have no problem dry humping naked on a TV show.
In the immortal words of the other writer at What Would Tyler Durden Do?: “They’re all whores.”
Well that’s a given. I just learned that it’s never the whore you want it to be.
Look, thecursor like his bitches either super sweet Alison Brie/Kristen Bell style or mega crazy drunken sex machines like Old Sugar Britches up there. So there’s nothing this woman can do to me that I won’t ask her to do when I’ve got her tied up in the back of my van.
By the way thecursor, Jakisa Nicole is gay. Dream. Shattered.
WHAT? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
GOD DAMN IT! IT’S NOT FAIR!
Is she Ellen-Lilth Fair Gay or fake Angelina Jolie getting back at daddy Gay?
People didn’t know Jasika Nicole was gay? She’s one of the most open lesbians in Hollywood.
I know talking about which celebrities we do and don’t want to bang is on the list of bad commenting habits, but it’s hard to keep quiet when there’s so much talk about someone you find wholly unattractive.
Whatever. More crazy drunken actresses for me.
Paz De La Huerta is such a method actress she doesn’t even need merkins.
That picture above looks like it has gotta hurt her……
This show was dead to me the moment Jimmy was dead to the show.
Bush to her, we’ll always have muff.
