There was an auction of Sopranos wardrobe items in New York last week. The top-earner in said auction? A bowling-style shirt that the big man himself got shot in. So last week some Sopranophile forked over $43, 750 for an ugly shirt caked in fake blood.
Wow.
If you had the money, what memorabilia would you pay [...]

For the first time, the folks over at The Emmys decided to let the fans in on the process and released the top 10 finalists in the Outstanding Comedy and Drama categories.
There’s no voting or fan favorite or anything. They just want you to know who the heavy hitters were before the list gets [...]
The Future Is Safe: Steve Carell Stays With The Office
Posted in In The News, tagged Katherine Heigl, NBC, Steve Carell, The Office on June 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Steve Carell signed on for three-more years of The Office. Let’s talk about the implications of this:
I love the show, so this is great news. Dunder-Mifflin wouldn’t work without Michael Scott.
Even with a solid movie career (Dan In Real Life? Really buddy?) Carell is sticking by his bread and butter. See Katherine Heigl? That’s class.
Again, [...]
Bravo Finally Gets Hit With The Diversity Stick
Posted in New Shows, tagged Bravo, Real Housewives of Atlanta on June 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
The cast for Bravo’s next shitshow, The Real Housewives of Atlanta, was announced yesterday. I’ve never been a fan of the Real Housewives series but at least this time Bravo figured out that people of color can be wealthy bitches too.
This is change I can believe in.
Learn more about the cast here…if that’s what you’re [...]

Think you know The Simpson’s? Here is a great little quiz to see just how smart you really are.

Sharpton Sort Of Outs Anderson Cooper: Put That On A Shirt CNN
Posted in In The News, tagged Al Sharpton, Anderson Cooper, Anderson Cooper 360, CNN on June 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I imagine coming out of the closet is a sensitive and highly personal issue. And as a successful news anchor at the top of his game, Anderson Cooper may not want the extra attention he’d undoubtedly get should he ever decide to discuss his sexuality. But since Cooper’s sexuality is the worst kept secret [...]
Wipeout…My Thoughts Exactly
Posted in Reviews, tagged ABC, Hole In The Wall, Roger Lodge, Wipeout on June 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I caught wind of ABC’s latest television offering, Wipeout, last night and saw the sad and unfortunate future of broadcast television starring me in the face. People running through a muddy obstacle course, bouncing off giant rubber balls, getting spun around like a washing machine then trying to race for a prize, and all of [...]
JCPenney’s May Posses An Ounce Of Cool After All

This JCPenney ad never saw the light of day because the bigwigs thought it promoted teen sex (it totally does). But the ad-wizards who made it submitted it to the advertising competition at Cannes…and it won.
Now everybody wins! Check out the hilarious ad that would’ve made JCPenney cool again.
For Your Consideration: The Worst Cover of Umbrella…EVER

Tonight I watched Nashville Star for the first time. There were some fun acts and some innovative arrangements. I think the talent is altogether better on Idol but it was a fun couple of hours nonetheless.
But there was one act definitely worth watching tonight. His name is Coffey (That’s Cough-Ay) and he selected last summer’s [...]

Speaking of cult shows I enjoyed, Jason Bateman confirmed the Arrested Development movie is on and will hit theaters next year.
Can you see it?
That’s me smiling from ear to ear.
Suck it Sex & The City. This a TV show that needs some closure.
