You know Lupita Nyong'o as your new glamour and fashion icon. But did you also know she also played Final Fantasy 8 relentlessly for hours as a teenager? And that she loved Full House and Hangin' With Mr. Cooper almost as much as I did (NO ONE WILL EVER LOVE MARK CURRY AS MUCH AS ME. NO ONE,MARK.)
Meghan McCain has a talk show now. But before you dismiss the notion of a daughter of extreme privilege who lacks both originality and the self-awareness necessary to recognize her own lack of originality having a platform from which to spout beige banality under the guise of EDGINESS, listen up! According to Raising…
It's difficult for many of us to survive in this post-Oprah world. She's been relegated to a channel only our grandparents – who were coerced into their extra-super-duper cable package – receive.

Talkshow fans, prepare yourselves for the latest in morning-show symposiums — Aspire Network (which is owned by Magic Johnson) has greenlit a show called Exhale, essentially a View hosted by five black women instead of Elisabeth Hasselbeck and the voices in her head.

All those former Oprah viewers wandering dazed and confused through the desert of daytime television have started latching on to Anderson Cooper, the silver-haired talkshow prophet who received journalistic superpowers after being struck by lightning seven times in a row. Or something like that — anyway, Anderson Live…

A trio of teens say they're such seasoned exorcists that they're able to tell just by looking at someone whether or not the devil resides within. Their reverend mentor says they've exorcised scores of people in their young lives. I say that watching them explain all of this to Anderson Cooper is like a Mean Girls fever …

Eliot Spitzer's supposed to be a controversial and "polarizing" figure. So why does his new CNN show look so boring?

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag were on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno last night to discuss their bogus Mexican marriage and shockingly, we wound up feeling bad for Spencer.
Last night on the Late Show with David Letterman, Dave and Salma Hayek engaged in some first-time parent chatter about their toddlers, and apparently, little Valentina has some strange sleeping habits.
