PopEater, an awesome blog on AOL, has had it with pseudo-celebrities Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt of The Hills.
They’re leaving it up to their faithful readers to vote on whether or not they continue to cover the most annoying couple in the world.
This could be the beginning of a wonderful trend. PopEater is just one [...]

It’s a holiday weekend! If you’re not spending your final hours of summer getting outside, sucking down ice cream cones or wearing all of the white clothes you can, feel free to stay inside and catch all the action on the boob tube.
The good folks over at one of my favorite TV blogs, The Remote [...]

TV and film actors, musicians and [...]
David Duchovny Being Treated For Sex Addiction
Posted in In The News, tagged Californication, David Duchovny on August 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Life imitating art alert!
David Duchovny must’ve been doing a little too much method acting to prepare for his role as an oversexed writer on Californication. Duchovny checked himself into a facility for treatment and asked for privacy for his family.
I laughed out loud at the headline. It’s just too good. Not good for his family [...]
America’s Got Talent Just Got A Lot Less Fab-U-Lous
Posted in Reviews, tagged America's Got Talent, David Hasselhoff, DC Cowboys, NBC on August 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I haven’t given up on America’s Got Talent, but that may change this week. After a handful of excruciating months of awful acts, drunken critiques from David Hasselhoff and unnecessary commentary from Jerry Springer, the show is finally at the point where America gets to decide who stays and who goes.
And just as I thought [...]
Is This Commercial Too Sexy? Ask The Deer With Boobs
Posted in Advertising, tagged Commercials, Orangina on August 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This French ad for the popular juice drink Orangina is taking some serious flack for being way too provocative. I don’t consider myself a prude, but after watching the 60 second commercial I couldn’t help but blush. That’s not an easy thing to do when you’re Black.
See for yourself:
I don’t think [...]
The Phelps Machine Continues To Churn
Posted in In The News, tagged Michael Phelps, NBC, Olympics, SNL on August 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
NBC’s Golden Son, Michael Phelps, is hosting the season premiere of Saturday Night Live on September 13.
That will give him just enough time to learn how to enunciate.
Hopefully it gives the writing staff enough time to develop several sketches featuring a topless Michael Phelps.

Cloris Leachman Is F’n Brilliant!

I don’t watch Dancing With The Stars but I do like to see which “celebs” they can wrangle to participate. The list has improved each go round and this season’s crop of stars includes some pretty notable names (Beijing Gold Medalist Misty May-Treanor and gastrosexual Rocco DiSpirito to name a few) but none of them [...]

In case edubTV is your only source of TV news, (my apologies BTW), you may not have heard that there’s a new full-time American Idol judge joining Paula, Randy and Simon. Her name is Kara Dioguardi and she’s a songwriter by trade and also Senior Vice-President of A&R at Warner Brothers.
According to my favorite speedy [...]

The Onion AV Club spoke to Rainn Wilson last week about his new movie The Rocker and The Office. Wilson had this to say regarding the spin-off,
“Yes, it stars me. It’s caled Schrute To Kill, and I’m a mercenary for hire like Blackwater, and I get into all kinds of comic misadventures all around the [...]

Speaking of shows coming to life, the folks at Top Chef are doing some cooking demonstrations, and sharing some show insights as a part of Top Chef: The Tour. The event stops in 20 cities across the country and admission to the hour-long sessions are free.
Different chefs appear in each stop. Detroit was fortunate enough [...]
