<![CDATA[10 Things You May Have Missed On TV This Week]]> In this week's compilation of pop culture crap we've got women with acrylic toenails, Kirstie Alley remembering her coke days, and Mary Hart, who still hates Jon Gosselin.



1.) Toes
Tyra had guests this week who get fake toenails put on.








And there were these idiots, who pay $65 a session to have their toes read.


2.) Mariah
She made the talk show rounds. She stumbled on Leno.


Then she went on Larry King Live, where she blinged out his logo.


And then smelled her tits.


Also, Larry serenaded her.


3.) "Where are you?"
Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew premiered this week. One of its cast members, Nicole Narain, was on The Joy Behar Show, where she answered Joy's question a little too literally.


4.) What happens when you slouch in Judge Judy's court.


5.) Cougars
The Insider is taking this taking this cougar thing way too far. Although, I do like the little glimpses of Wasilla townies we get.


Niecy Nash is now literally referred to as "the resident cougar," and for the past two weeks, she's been going on dates with younger men.


Is this supposed to be sexy? Chest stubble and exaggerated nipples?


It reminds me of when Homer got plastic surgery so that Marge wouldn't leave him for a younger man.


And his nipples cried.


6.) Heather from Rock of Love on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
She played a hooker.




7.) Why did Sandals have to ruin a perfectly lovely song?


8.) Jon Gosselin implied that he's on the same professional level as Mary Hart.
And she didn't like it.


9.) Kirstie Alley on her coke days.


10.) Michelle Obama is fun.

<![CDATA[Judge Judy Won't Rule In Favor Of Litigants Who Make Bitch Faces]]> On yesterday's JJ, a man sued his former coworker for having him falsely arrested for sexual misconduct. Initially, the defendant's claims seemed valid, until JJ uncovered a number of inconsistencies in her story, and a history of addiction and theft.



The plaintiff had been acquitted of all charges in a criminal court. It turns out that the defendant had made the allegations against him only after she had been accused of stealing money from the store in which they were working. Her, the defendant admits that her employment was being "watched by the state" after she had failed multiple drug tests—one while pregnant—and had her child taken away from her. If she were to be fired from the hardware store, she'd be in trouble with the state again.


In a civil court, the burden of proof for the plaintiff was much heavier than "beyond a reasonable doubt." However, when he played audio excerpts of testimony at his trial—in which it was revealed that the defendant had been accused of stealing money at her three previous jobs—JJ had come to her decision. She awarded the plaintiff $2500, not because of the defendant's questionable history, but because she had made statements under oath in the first trial that contradicted her statements under oath in JJ's court.

<![CDATA[Judge Judy: You Can't Exploit People, Even If They're Exploiting Themselves]]> Today on JJ, a woman sued the owner of a strip club for using pictures of her from the internet on his promotional fliers. His reasoning: it's okay to exploit anyone who posts provocative pictures online.



He's, of course, a gigantic asshole, saying that the judgment against him (he was ordered to pay the plaintiff $5,000) is worth it, because the fliers with her image made him a lot more money than that.

<![CDATA[10 Things You May Have Missed On TV This Week]]> In this week's compilation of pop culture crap, Tyra's on-stage colonic, Tricia Walsh-Smith's freakout, Jon Gosselin's opinion on Balloon Boy, and more.



1.) Synergy
Jon Gosselin's answer when asked for his thoughts on the Balloon Boy hoax:



We're thinking that Balloon Boy might give the same exact answer when asked for his thoughts on Jon Gosselin wiping out his family's bank account.

2.) Tricia Walsh-Smith threatened to walk off The Insider.
She didn't understand that people were telling her that she is smart.


BTW, why does The Insider consider Marla Maples part of "The Real First Wives Club"?


3.) "Tardy for the Party" is based on a true story.


Kim might have another hit on her hands, thanks to Jimmy Kimmel.


4.) A different type of tardy at the party
I love Kim's wasted face.


5.) The best excuse for tardiness
Courtesy of Bridezillas

6.) Spry seniors
Larry King's promo picture for his blog is awesome.


And this week, Elizabeth Taylor took Paris and Prince Jackson to Universal Studios theme park.


7.) Courtney Cox was a menstruation pioneer.


8.) What Al Reynolds is up to now
Musical theater-y things, regurgitating, and not being normal. His words, not mine.


9.) Tyra colonic
Last Friday, Tyra featured a colonic on her stage, which the host claimed was the First! Ever! Televised! Colonic! Except it wasn't. I remember Dave Navarro getting one on his reality show about his marriage to Carmen Electra. Tyra also said that a colonic was "the opposite of diarrhea." In fact, a colonic is the opposite of that. It is diarrhea, and it drips down your leg.


10.) A lesson on life from Judge Judy

<![CDATA[Judge Judy: Landlords Can Not Confiscate A Tenant's Marijuana]]> Today's episode featured a landlord suing his tenant for assault after the tenant tackled him to the ground when the landord tried to confiscate his marijuana. JJ said that nobody has a legal right to take anything from anyone.

The plaintiff did, in fact, have a prescription for medical marijuana due to a neck injury, but JJ knew it was baloney when she found out that he's a surfer. Still, she dismissed the plaintiff's case, because he had no legal standing.

The interview was preempted for the breaking news that Chicago did not get picked to host the Olympics. When The View returned, Mimi's dog appeared.

<![CDATA[10 Things You May Have Missed On TV This Week]]> In this week's multimedia compilation of pop culture crap Janice Dickinson returns to judging people, Judge Judy and Antiguan weed, gay polyamory, and more!



1.) Janice Dickinson
The Insider has a new format sort of based on The View's "Hot Topics," in which the "news" correspondents and a celebrity guest debate bullshit tabloid stuff. The show describes it as "entertainment news with opposing views." Janice Dickinson was the guest on Wednesday, and they really need to just give her the job permanently, because she has finally found her perfect calling.

On Jon Gosselin:


On Whitney Houston:


On confusing saying the word "jackass" and acting like one:


2.) Bobby Brown's body is "pure"


What does Janice think of him?


3.) New Judge Judy episodes!
It's been a cruel summer without some new JJ. Thankfully the new season has returned to dispense the most practical advice in the world.

The outcast's solution was to add one more guy into the mix, to a balance. Once he found a suitable candidate, he brought him home to meet his boyfriends, and it all worked out for the best.


9.) How not to raise children.


10.) Paula Abdul


She needs a pageant mom for some stability.
