The Bob Saget show sounds like a slightly watered down version of "Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends" - a British show which was usually interesting. [en.wikipedia.org]
@Lady Skittlehattington: Thank. You. Also, fun fact - she wanted Elvis to record it. He turned it down. Which is too bad, because an Elvis/Dolly collaboration is pretty much the stuff my dreams are made of.
"When I was reading the books, I felt so bad for Jacob's character. I was, like, 'Wow, he can't get the girl he wants and he's being shut down and used.' But now that I'm actually dating Taylor Swift is who amazing and funny and Glinda the Good Witch and totes hot, I realized that Jacob wanted the wrong girl all along and this is really better for everybody."
Carrie maybe you should google "Celebrity Sex Tape Scandal" and see how suing the porn companies worked for Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian. Paris got nothing, Kim gets a percent of the profits but is also forever tainted with benefitting from something she says she's ashamed for and the message that sends about her character.
Sorry Prejean. You're a porn star now. Vivid is just fucking with you waiting so long to release it. Also, how much damage do you REALLY think you can do to Vivid? Vivid is one of the biggest adult companies.
JESUS CHRIST, CELEBRITIES! PAY YOUR TAXES. It's not that hard of a concept! Yes, I understand you have accountants doing this stuff for you, but at the very least ask to see your paperwork after stuff is filed! Hire a second person to audit yourself!
@Le Kangourou de Kataroo: I KNOW, seriously. My husband has his own business (which is not making celeb kind of money) and somehow we manage to get our taxes right. We were even audited last year and they surprisingly couldn't find anything wrong (and oh, how they tried!).
That Bob Saget show actually does sound interesting - but would you really call that a reality show? They're putting him into situations specifically to film the reaction - it's not just following him around in his every day life. (I guess that's what reality shows have become, but this sounds more like Dirty Jobs or something.)
OK, I think Nate Berkus is as adorable and talented as the next girl, but REALLY? another Oprah "spin off"? I'm surprised the sex lady hasn't gotten a spin off. Or Ali Wentworth. Or GAYLE. Man I'd be pissed with my lack of show if I was Gayle.
@thecameralovesyou: Nate is my favorite of Oprah's babies, I think. Him or Dr. Oz.
I get the feeling that Gayle is happy with the level of fame she has. As far as I know, she's respected in her career and makes a very, very good living. No way Oprah wouldn't have helped her go national or international if she wanted to be.
@thecameralovesyou: I love Ali Wentworth (and thank you -- I can't ever remember her name). She is natural and appealing without being obnoxious and I love how she rocks those eye bags. She makes me believe mine are attractive.
@ardentlilac: I love her too. although her Dallas Cowboys cheerleader dance at the Texas state fair made me uncomfortable. Just because of the awkward sexy face.
i feel so bad for aaron carter. the kid got robbed of his childhood to make money, and is now a young adult with nothing to show for it.
well, at least the backstreet boys are back together.
Um. The Enrique Iglesias video. Most hysterical WTF moment occurs with the hooker wrapping herself around a stripper pole coming from betwixt his legs in a bed. Subtle! Then they both disappear and he masturbates some more.
@SomeAuthorGirl: Yeah, that was a very bizarre video. My only interpretation is that Enrique enjoys masturbating to videos of crying girls. That, and he shaves his pubic hair.
@GirlFailer: He enjoys masturbating a lot. Enough to hole up in a hotel room with days and days worth of room service. So the other take away from the experience is that masturbating to videos of crying girls and fantasizing about prostitutes makes him really hungry.
There's a way that this was a good thing to start the day with, because it had zip to do with SP! Woohoo!
Woody Harrelson, you're an actor. You're paid to speak lines written by others. I don't need to hear your, or any other actor's, thoughts on politics ever again. Even if I happen to agree with them. #dinalohan
@ihateyourescalade: Why? He's as much of a citizen as you or I, and his views are actually well-thought out. He's allowed to have an opinion about deeper things than the label on his clothes or the latest celebutard antics. I understand getting annoyed when people spout off ignorantly, but I don't get the mindset that being an actor means you don't get to talk about anything serious. #dinalohan
@Hooplehead is hamthrax's bitch: Of course he's a citizen, and of course he's allowed to have an opinion. But I don't like that celebrities routinely use their fame to sound off on important topics, when regular citizens (like you, for instance) don't get the same bully pulpit. It often seems the only qualification for being an "expert" in anything--whether politics, the economy, global hunger, cures for cancer, or anything else important--is that you appear on "The Hills" or whatever. Yes, Harrelson is more thoughtful and better-informed than most celebutards, but any random Jezebel commentator is probably even more thoughtful and better-informed than he is. And we get bupkus. #dinalohan
@ihateyourescalade: Well of course everyone should listen to us 24/7.
That goes without saying. But we, unfortunately, don't have movies to promote.
I disagree that they are all lauded as experts, though. They have a pulpit, but not necessarily the credibility to back it up. (Looking at you, Jenny McCarthy!) In Woody's case, I'm less annoyed than I'd be if say, Sean Penn were spouting off. About anything, however worthy. Woody's always been a crunchy hippie kind of guy, so him being into politics doesn't surprise me.
As long as they're well informed about their issues and not sanctimonious twits, trotting off to co-sign leaders and situations whose implications they don't seem to entirely understand, I'm OK with slebs sounding off on what interests them. It brings visibility, and often donations, to issues that might not be brought to people's notice otherwise. But I could see how that would bug you.
