Causing trouble?

American Idol: Ryan Seacrest’s “right hand”–and by that, we mean one of his crew members–suffered an injury during rehearsal when the movable staircase malfunctioned. Seacrest tweeted later that she was “doing much better.”

Kirstie Alley: Her post-Jenny Craig weight gain earned her the cover of this week’s PEOPLE. At least she consented to the article. Would really hate if it was a write-around, like the Jessica Simpson cover stories from a few months ago.

Kiefer Sutherland: The 24 actor reportedly had a little scuffle outside a Met Costume Gala after-party. Doesn’t he know the goal of each day should be avoiding getting sent to jail again?!

Ryan Reynolds: Following the success of Wolverine, Reynolds will reprise his role as Deadpool in his own spin-off flick. To be honest, we haven’t seen any X-Men movies but Reynolds isn’t really the superhero type…

Sizzlemaker: Did an interview with SisterDivas Magazine about Sizzle and other blogs. Check it out!

SIZZLED OUT: 50 Cent

STILL SIZZLING: This unauthorized biography wasn’t exactly a home run. In fact, despite recent controversey, sales have been quite lackluster.

One of our dream romantic reunions!

NBC: Unveiled its fall programming yesterday, with several new dramas and two comedies. The network decided to delay an announcement about “on-the-bubble” shows like Chuck and My Name is Earl.

MTV: Movie award nominations, chosen by the fans, are out and Twilight leads the pack. Considering fans also choose the winners, we’re gonna go out on a limb and say Twilight will bring home the most bronzed popcorn.

Jessica Simpson: Admitted in a new Vanity Fair interview that she hasn’t spoken to ex-hubby Nick Lachey “in years.” And here we are, still waiting for them to get back together! (The other couples we haven’t given up hope for: Brad & Jen and Britney & Justin. Yes, we know we’re deluded. Leave us be.)

Coldplay: Facing–and ignoring–accusations that they plagiarized melody for their hit “Viva la vida.” Is there really any way to prove this? So much harder with music than the written word.

David Hasselhoff: Fighting back rumors that he suffered a severe case of alcohol poisoning over the weekend. The former Baywatch actor has admitted to substance abuse problems in the past, but his lawyers maintain all is well now.

Eminem: Relying on rap to get him “high” now that he’s fought his pill addiction. We’re rooting for him, especially for the sake of his daughter.

Disney: Would you be more likely to buy an avocado if it was a High School Musical avocado? That’s the logic Disney is working on but we can’t see parents going that far.

The Onion: Satirical publications are just as screwed as the rest of them. The Onion, which seems to be loved by everyone but us, will no longer have a Los Angeles edition. Don’t really understand how they’re cutting out such a huge market, but what do we know? We’re still unemployed!

SIZZLED OUT: Family Guy

STILL SIZZLING: This rapper admits to watching an episode of Gossip Girl or two–only to learn about his film co-star, Chace Crawford.

Can you believe this was 14 years ago?!

Grammys: Great show. Full recap here.

Chris Brown: WTF is going on?! Please tell us Rihanna is not the woman he got in a fight with! Will this kill his previously-stellar rep? Or is he innocent until proven guilty?

Usher: Canceled his pre-Grammy performance after someone in his family was injured. PEOPLE claims it was his wife, Tameka Foster, and from a plastic surgery operation.

Blink-182: In addition to announcing their reunion at the Grammys, the group also updated their official site with the news. “Friendships reformed,” new album, world tour. So exciting!

Jennifer Aniston: Making a movie about artificial insemination. Foreshadowing?

Jennifer Aniston, Pt. 2: Says she wouldn’t be opposed to a Friends reunion special. Hurrah!

DWTS: Announced contestants include: Denise Richards, Steve-O, Lil’ Kim, Jewel (and her husband!) and Nancy O’Dell. Full list here. No one interests us. Sad.

Obama: Inspiring election campaigns in Israel…even though they didn’t want him to be president. Gotta love that bandwagon!

BAFTAS: Slumdog Millionaire won SEVEN awards! Jeez. Spread the wealth, guys!

Will Ferrell: People may be walking out of his Broadway show but we have a feeling Will Ferrell gets the last laugh. Anyone who can show former President Bush’s penis in a show is obviously quite funny.

McDonalds: Sponsoring Fashion Week and giving away free coffee. Do fashionistas drink coffee? Or is it that they take anything that’s free?

The Daily Beast: Suggests Jessica Simpson’s weight issues could lead to a financial gain. ‘Cause, you know, that’s what’s most important.

SIZZLED OUT: Ricki Lake

STILL SIZZLING: If it’s not one thing, it’s always another for this sports star. His recent headlines about his lovelife are being overshadowed by a new report: testing positive for steroids!

This photo is being used everywhere!

Jessica Simpson: The cover story on 3 entertainment mags/tabloids this week. Even PEOPLE went with it. Lame.

PEOPLE: Speaking of PEOPLE, they have very bizarre poll up asking which male actor looks the best in drag. Is this really necessary?

American Idol: The addition of a new judge hasn’t added much to the show, but what if you cut one of the judges? MSNBC says Randy Jackson should go!

Facebook: The headline to this article says it all: Facebook Turns 5–But Can It Survive? We say yes. It ain’t going anywhere any time soon. And that’s not a bad thing. Gawker shares its own opinion here.

Clay Aiken: Will be a guest judge on the new season of America’s Next Top Model, which begins later this month. Doesn’t get much more random than that.

Emmys: The television categories will have 6 nominees from now on instead of 5, and will give all members of the Academy equal voting, in an effort to “increase inclusivity.” No matter what, someone’s still gonna be pissed, though, because you can’t recognize or include everything.

Digital TV: They’re all a bunch of flip-floppers! After previously voting against it, Congress now ruled that the mandatory switch to digital TV won’t happen until June.

Stephen King: He better watch out. Many a vampire might be after him now that he said Twilight author Stephanie Meyer “can’t write worth a darn” ‘Dem’s fightin’ words!

Iron Man 2: Robert Downey, Jr. promises that the sequel to last summer’s blockbuster will be “three times more fun and strange.” Since when do fun and strange go together?

JuicyCampus: The internet just got a little less swarmier now that this gossip site, popular among college students, announced it’s closing. About time!

Jossip: For sale, but you can hardly tell. There’s only a little banner at the top of the site, asking for “serious inquiries.” Damn that economy!

SIZZLED OUT: Gwyneth Paltrow (Chris Martin)

STILL SIZZLING: This off-and-on couple is apparently back on ever since he went through a “life-changing experience.” Will another reality show follow??

Wonder how Diddy's feeling right about now...

Jessica Simpson: This doesn’t happen that often. Simpson said some wise words at her concert last night: “”I feel like in our world today we focus on so many things that are completely pointless.” No doubt she’s referring to the recent hubbub surrounding her weight.

The View: Co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck is pregnant again! This will be her third baby in less than 4 years! We should be so lucky!

Obama: The Washington Post claims cartoonists are focusing too much on emphasizing the new president’s lips. Racist or not? Or just comes with the territory?

The CW: Returning to the listings grid in TV Guide. In case you actually still need one of those things.

Danity Kane: The Making The Band/Diddy-formed group has completely broken up. Guess they’re really damaged now!

Superbowl: Just face it: no party you plan or attend will top what the stars have planned for the big day. We can’t wait til we’re famous!

The Office: After the game, don’t forget to watch the star-studded episode, which is sure to get super ratings.

Forbes: On their Web Celeb 25 list, Perez Hilton comes in a number one for the second year in a row. How much longer do you think that’ll last?

Twitter: New to the game and don’t know who to follow? As a companion piece to the above article, Forbes also has a list of the most influential Twitterers.

SIZZLED OUT: Rachael Ray

STILL SIZZLING: This actress, mostly known for the endless aray of spoofs she’s starred in, is getting serious with a former Everwood actor. They’re engaged!

Looks good to us!

Jessica Simpson: Just the latest star to get slammed online for gaining weight. Like it’s a crime to be a size 8! Surprisingly, sister Ashlee made a great case on her blog as to why we should just leave Jessica–and all women–alone.

Slumdog Millionaire: The families of the child actors that played Latika and Salim are alleging they’ve been exploited by the film’s execs and production company. Could this be the end of Slumdog’s positive press run?

The Reader: Will get to submit 4 producer names in the Oscars Best Picture category instead of the usual 3, since two of those producers (sadly) died partway through production. Sounds fair, no?

Lisa Kudrow: Producing a new reality show where celebs such as Sarah Jessica Parker and Susan Sarandon research their families. Sounds fascinating, just like most reality shows.

Facebook: Seems like every day there’s a hoard of new fan pages. Most popular page: Barack Obama. Wonder how long til that ends?

Facebook Pt. 2: A new study suggests how many friends you have in life are related to your genes. And now Gawker is trying to use to that to explain Facebook and a user’s popularity. Something got lost in translation, no?

Joaquin Phoenix: Entertainment Weekly says they have sources that prove Phoenix’s foray into rapping is a “hoax.” Yawn.

PETA: Their ad for the Superbowl was rejected but it seems they won out in the end (and it was all purposefully done) to attract people to view it–and PETA’s message–online. The ad is pretty scandalous, we must admit.

Tyra Banks: Getting the “exellence in media” award from GLAAD. Never thought the two had much in common but guess we’re wrong.

Twitter: If you’re on it, you should follow NUTwitProject and help some students try to save the world. Okay, not really. But you should still follow them and answer their questions!

SIZZLED OUT: Ugly Betty

STILL SIZZLING: Looks like someone new does in fact own them! This classic 90s feminist movie is headed to Broadway.

Choose a language, read the book and see the movie. That's a direct order!

Choose a language, read the book and see the movie. That's an order!

Mark Ruffalo: The actor’s brother is criticially injured after being shot in the head! And that’s pretty much all we know right now. Sad.

Pete Wentz: Called newborn son Bronx “a happy accident.” This cannot end well.

Gossip Girl: Apparently one of the characters is preggers. So is actress Kelly Rutherford (Lily). Coincidence?

Kelly Ripa: What’s that we always say about tabloids? Oh, yeah–don’t believe them! The latest proof: Ripa’s rep is saying a National Enquirer cover story that she and hubby/hottie Mark Consuelos are getting a divorce “100 percent false.” We imagined so!

Jessica Simpson: Reveals things to Marie Claire that we never knew (and probably didn’t care to) like her love of self-help books, her desire to take a class on religion and her collection of “lucky pennies.” Maybe celebrities are just like the rest of us! (Ha!)

Funny Or Die: What happens when celebrities make a “Prop 8 Musical”? Hilarity and cleverness ensue, of course! Among those featured: Jack Black, Neil Patrick Harris, Sarah Chalke, John C. Reilly and much more!

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas: Holocaust movies are usually stellar and this one was no expection. We saw it last night. Incredibly moving. The odds for an Oscar nomination are slim but it’s completely deserving.

Harry Potter: Think the books are finished? Think again. J.K. Rowling is releasing a spin-off, called The Tales of Beetle the Bard. Necessary? Probably not. At least the profits–which, we’re sure, will be enormous–are going to charity.

Kanye West: With lyrics about his ex-fiance like “You spoiled LA girl” and “Tell everybody that you know that I don’t love you no more,” is his new album a little too personal? All we know is we wouldn’t want to be Alexis Phifer right now!

Kid Rock: Thinks a music tour for the armed forces should count as community service. No way, says the courts. We’re torn: it is a nice thing to do but something he’d likely do regardless of whether he had the CS punishment, right?

Kristen Stewart: Surely riding the wave of Twilight’s success, she’s just been cast as Joan Jett in a new biopic. We don’t see ANY resemblance but stranger casting choices have been made.

Facebook: Lindsay Lohan has got a bone to pick with you (but not with MySpace, she’ll have you know)! Apparently they shut down LiLo’s account, thinking it was a fake, and now she is PEEVED!

November 24, 2008 Pt. 2

Posted in Uncategorized with tags britney, Disneyland, Gawker, Good Morning America, Hannity and Colmes, Jessica Simpson, Kid Rock, Lou Bega, Michael Phelps, Miley Cyrus, MTV, One Tree Hill, Orgy, OTH, PEOPLE, Perez Hilton, Speidi, Subway, The Bachelor, USA Today on November 24, 2008 by sizzlemaker

Remember this face?

Speidi: If you believe Perez, the couple eloped over the weekend. Waiting for a more legitimate source to confirm. (Even PEOPLE doesn’t know for sure!)

Miley Cyrus: Celebrated her Sweet 16 for real yesterday, months after a birthday bash that shut down Disneyland.

Britney: There’s a beyond-cheesy commercial airing to promote her birthday (aka promotional stunt) performance on Good Morning America that’s still more than a week away.

1999: As the new year approaches, MTV has created a 10-year class reunion of sorts, with a look back at names as forgotten as Orgy and Lou Bega and as still-relevant as Kid Rock and Jessica Simpson.

OTH: Two episodes tonight, though one is a repeat. Still, we’ll gladly take it!

The Bachelor: Why would a father go on a notoriously unsuccessful matchmaking show when he has a son to think about? The relationships never work out, so why introduce a woman into your kid’s life who probably won’t be there permanently? Guess we’ll find out when the new season begins in early January.

Michael Phelps: Has a new endorsement deal with Subway. Doesn’t really seem like the food of an Olympian.

Gawker: Turns out that article on celebrity couples was plagarized…by the original author himself. We’re confused, too.

Hannity and Colmes: Will be just Hannity when the new year starts. No word yet if there will be a new sparring partner.

Network TV: One area of the economy the government won’t step in to save, though it really needs it.

USA Today: Also making lay-offs, but a smaller amount than this time last year so we guess this is good news?

The 44th president of the United State of America

The 44th president of the United States of America

Obama: ‘Good morning, Mr. President’ has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it Barack?

Music Stylists: People rich folks pay to design custom playlists to match home decor. We’re sorry but if you are incapable of making your own playlist, you do not deserve to even have an iPod.

Heidi Klum: Double good news! She’s not leaving the country AND she strips down to her skivvies for a new Guitar Hero commercial! We don’t want to hear a complaint from guys for at least the next six months.

David Archuleta: Let’s hope hope the songs on his debut album aren’t as wordy as the liner notes that come with it: 3,500 words long!

Oprah: Already has a dress picked out for Obama’s January inauguration but isn’t a little presumptuous of O to assume she’ll be invited?

A Lion Among Men: The latest in a series of Wicked-related books by author Gregory Maguire. What, you think things began and ended with The Wizard of Oz?

Tim Robbins: The staunch liberal ran into a wee bit of trouble yesterday when he went to vote. Electioneers told him he wasn’t registered! As you may have guessed, the shit hit the fan.

TV Ratings: If you’re not an exec in the news department, you’re probably thrilled the election is over. Networks are hoping ratings for once-popular shows will go back up. Is the election really to blame for shrinking audiences? Or is it just a reflection of the declining quality of TV?

Nielsen: Did you know Americans can multi-task? The researchers over at Nielsen didn’t. They’ve just completed a study that shows people can watch television AND be on the internet at the same time. Shocking!

Jessica Simpson: Said in a new interview with Cosmopolitan she’s usually attracted to guys that need “saving.” What about Nick Lachey needed saving? He seemed pretty damn perfect to us. Jess also says the next time she gets married “will be the last time.” What are the odds she’s saying that again one day?

SIZZLED OUT: Kevin Connolly

STILL SIZZLING: Which rocker says he owes his existence to Joe Biden? If not for the vice-president-elect, his parents would never have met!

Who knew a night out with these two could be so dangerous?!

Obama: It’s probably too late to first have this argument now, but one debate still rages on: Is Obama benefiting from the Huxtable effect or hurting from the Urkel effect? If you don’t know what these things refer to, start watching TV Land and/or TBS immediately!

Ken Paves: The stylist to the stars–and Jessica Simpson’s BFF–says he’s “fine” after getting whacked in the head by a paparazzo’s camera during a night out with the singer. The “accident” required nine stitches!

Jennifer Hudson: A heartbreaking funeral service took place yesterday. What more is there left to say?

Grey’s Anatomy: It seems Shonda Rhimes is always taking flack for something. This time its the “de-gaying” of the show with the firing of Brooke Smith, who played a lesbian, and the rewriting of another bisexual character. Very odd, considering the show’s been relatively gay-friendly in the past.

Monday Night Football: Obama and McCain made (pre-taped) appearances last night. We’re totally tired of these out-of-character, lets-just-get-some-votes cameos. Hello election day!

90210: An upcoming storyline will revolve around one of the teens being preggers. This will mark a purposeful shift to more issue-oriented episodes. Note that this is exactly what the execs and stars of the new version criticized the original for. Oh, the hypocrisy!

Steve Fossett: Tests on bones found near the adventurer’s crash site contain his DNA. Take that, conspiracy theorists!

Heroes: In light of the show’s floundering ratings and the harsh reviews its received from critics this season, two of the producers have left the team. Some say creative differences, others say they were fired. At this point, though, word choice is hardly what matters.

SIZZLED OUT: Keith Olbermann

STILL SIZZLING: Will this actor bring an entourage on set with him when he directs a music video for Ne-Yo and The Game?
