Sucking the blood out of EW

Sucking the blood out of EW

James Bond: In honor of the release of Quantum of Solace (how many times can YOU put ‘of’ in a sentence?), take a stroll down memory lane by revisiting Bond’s sexual puns and theme songs.

Reality TV: What’s the difference between ‘reality’ and ‘unscripted’ television?  This article attempts to explain it but we’re still not sure we understand.

Desperate Housewives: The rumor of the day is that Sarah Palin will appear on Wisteria Lane.  Says the show’s creator: “There is no way!”  Whew.  Close one.

EW: As expected, the ax came down today on some unlucky staffers at Entertainment Weekly.  We’ve become numb by this point.

Gawker: Kudos to them for taking a swipe at the ridiculous hysteria surrounding Twilight and, yes, EW’s absurd obsession with the series.

PEOPLE: And while, yes, we are numb, this did make us cry a little.

Joe Scarborough: His morning show on MSNBC will now have a 7-second delay.  That’s what happens when you drop the F-bomb!

OTH: We could not be more excited for One Tree Hill’s 1940s-themed episode next week and we are so glad its getting the media attention it deserves!

AP: The people at Associated Press have too much time on their hands.  (Then again, so do we.)  They’ve decided with a new election, comes new style changes.

Prison Break: It’s almost a sure thing this season will be the last.  Fox just commissioned two more episodes–likely to serve as some sort of wrap-up.

Jodie Sweetin: The Full House star may have spilled to PEOPLE all about her meth addiction but apparently, there’s lots more to share.  Like a whole book’s worth.  Stephanie Tanner is writing a memoir!

Obama: Time’s Person of the Year.  Not like we didn’t see that coming.

SIZZLED OUT: Live! With Regis and Kelly

STILL SIZZLING: The Parents Television Council says these two shows–one animated, one not–are the worst and best for kids, respectively.

You want a movie?  Fuggedaboutit!

You want a movie? Fuggedaboutit!

The Simpsons: Will get the honor of a crossword puzzle in The New York Times that’s all about them. You didn’t know 4 across? D’oh!

The Sopranos: Still waiting for a movie? Don’t hold your breath. Be happy with a 33-disc DVD set instead. Yay consolation prizes!

Jason Priestley: We totally agree with you here that it wouldn’t make sense if Brandon was Kelly’s babydaddy.  But how can you say here that you guys “were never bestowed any awards”?  Perhaps you’ve forgotten your two Golden Globe nominations!  That’s right, Jason.  True 90210 fans remember everything!

Dallas: Yes, people do actually still care about this show. How much? Enough to pay $1,000 to meet the stars and then bitch after about what a disaster it was. Bizarre? Yes. But it still doesn’t top the “this was all a dream” finale.

ABC News: In an interesting journalistic choice, ABC News is taking an up-close look at its parent company’s (ABC, d’oh!) decision to “de-gay” Grey’s Anatomy.

Isaiah Washington: Should someone fired from Grey’s Anatomy for a gay scandal of his own really be talking smack about the recent “de-gay”-ing? Isaiah, do you ever learn?

Gossip Girl: That season 3 ratings boost? Gone. The show is steadily slipping. And One Tree Hill is still doing better! Score!

TRL: The series finale is starting to sound more like a reunion and we couldn’t be more excited. Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Nelly and lots of others will make appearances. The show doesn’t air til Sunday, but we’re getting our TiVo ready now!

Nirvana: It’s been 17 years since Nevermind was released. More memorable than the music itself? The cover art of a naked baby in a pool. Well, that boy is–you guessed it!–17 years old now and has re-created the photo.

Elizabeth Banks: Seems like she’s everywhere lately! First W, then Zack and Miri and now Role Models. Banks will try something new next: producing a sci-fi. We’re just as perplexed as you are.

Classic Movies: Chosen by TCM to be put in a DVD set according to genre. And by classic, they also mean old. Hardly any are from the past 20 years.

Twilight: Try Twilight Zone instead! A San Francisco event for the movie was canceled after thousands more fans than expected showed up. The result? Bloody chaos! Good thing we’ve managed to remain completely uninterested in all the hoopla!

Bush: Did he like his depiction in W.? Yes, surprisingly, says portrayer James Brolin.

SIZZLED OUT: Bones

STILL SIZZLING: AOL Television has started its 50 Sexiest Men and Women countdown. These two stars, best known for kicking some serious ass, got the backhanded compliment of being number 5-0 on their respective lists.

Can history PLEASE repeat itself?

Can history PLEASE repeat itself?

SATC: Sarah Jessica Parker is clarifying co-star Kim Cattrall’s announcement yesterday of a Sex and the City sequel.  “All the deals are not done yet,” SJP says.  We’ve never thought of Carrie as a party pooper before but we might have to reassess that view.

Britney: How’s this for a letdown: Brit Brit did appear on-stage with Madonna.  Just not at the same time as Justin.  Disappointing but we remain hopeful for a future reunion.

OTH: We are RUNNING to get the new issue of Entertainment Weekly, which features a multi-page article on One Tree Hill!  Did you know OTH gets better ratings that Gossip Girl?  Damn straight, it does!

American Idol: The new season starts January 13.  Let the countdown begin!

Grey’s Anatomy: The show needs some positive buzz right about now and this might get it for them: they’re planning a February cross-over with Private Practice.   These are usually quite cheesy, though, so we’re curious to see how it’s gonna work.

Chicago Tribune: The official election may be over but the rumor of it isn’t.  The Trib has come up with joke covers showcasing different results.  Pretty funny.

NYT: The Times are taking some steps into the future: first with their own social network, and also with Times Extra, which will link to rival publications.  Which papers will follow suit?

SIZZLED OUT: The Simpsons

STILL SIZZLING: This old fellow is giving one of his many ex-girlfriends away to be married…a mere few weeks after they split!

Rockin' out and looking pretty while doing it!

Rockin' out and looking pretty while doing it!

David Cook: Our favorite Idol EVER will be performing on SNL tomorrow night.  Meeting him last spring will forever rank as one of our all-time best days.

John McCain: Stealing Cook’s thunder and also appearing on SNL.  Psht.

Shanna Moakler: Travis Barker’s ex has given her first interview since finding out about his plane crash.  Last time she spoke, though, Travis said not to believe her.  So what will it be this time?  Fact or fiction?

Melrose Place: Despite persistent rumors, if the remake happens, it probably won’t be aided by current mega-creators Mark Schwahn (One Tree Hill) and Josh Schwartz (The O.C., Gossip Girl).  And thank god.  We want a seventh season of OTH, not a rehashing of a show that wasn’t very good to begin with.

Spider-Man 4: The flick, set to be released in 2011, has found itself a writer.  A Pulitizer award-winning, Julliard-trained one at that.  But we have to wonder: why are movies from the same series being written by different people?  What ever happened to consistency?

Newsday: Our hometown newspaper appears to be the latest victim of the revived Anthrax hoax.  Really, people, this is SO not funny.

Hugh Hefner: In a new biography–aptly titled Mr. Playboy–the media mogul’s life is given the up-close-and-personal treatment.  Silly us, we thought that’s been done before.  Many, many times before.

Harry. Prince Harry.

Harry. Prince Harry.

DWTS: Julianne Hough has a bedfellow in dancer Lacey Schwimmer.  Following Hough’s diagnosis of endometriosis, Schwimmer found out she has it, too.  Is there something in the water there?!

OTH: CW has added more episodes to this season!  Score!  More coming to Gossip Girl and 90210, as well.  We guess that’s good, too.

Selena Gomez: Move over, Nick Jonas.  Tweener Selena already has her eyes set on someone else: Shia LaBeouf.  Join the club, Selena.

Prince Harry: The royal heir better watch out. At the Quantum of Solace premiere, he made the mistake of saying Sean Connery was his favorite Bond, rather than current star Daniel Craig.  Smooth move, prince.

Beatles: The iconic quartet will have a videogame of their own in the not-so-near future.  It’s being made by the creators of Rock Band but no word yet on what exactly the game will be.

MSNBC: Took the brunt of the beating at a recent luncheon conference on Hollywood and the media.  Why is everyone so alarmed by the network’s “lopsided” coverage?  Have they seen Fox News?!

Addams Family: Coming to a theater near you. If you live in Chicago.  Or New York.  But what are the Addams doing on a stage, any way?  They’re creepy and they’re kooky, mysterious and spooky…

The View: Despite denials by show reps, sources say Elisabeth is on the way out, if Babs has anything to do with it.  But what good is a show with hot topics if everyone’s on the same side?

Pete Wentz: Already debating whether to sell his yet-to-be-born baby’s first pics to a magazine.  We sense a great father-child relationship building already.

Both have moved on...to co-stars.

Both have moved on...to co-stars.

Jennifer Hudson: The boy found earlier today was positively identified as Hudson’s nephew.  The growing enormity of this tragedy has left us speechless. 

Julianne Hough: So it turns out it wasn’t just a stomache after all.  The 20-year-old will have her appendix removed as part of treatment for endometrosis, a disease affecting the uterus and surrounding organs.  Our only previous experience with endometrosis?  When Kelly was diagnosed with it on (the original) 90210.

Obama: Another assassination attempt against the presidential candidate has been pre-emptively foiled.  Are we the only ones who think they will increase ten-fold if he’s actually elected?

DWTS: Is Cloris a success because of her age or her personality?  And can both be considered ‘sexy’ qualities?  Just thinking about this gives us the heebie-jeebies but the Chicago Tribune doesn’t seem to mind.

Apatow and Co.: The relationship between Judd Apatow, Seth Rogen and Kevin Smith is quite incesutous.  Turns out, that’s also what makes it so great.  We should start a fan club.

Chad Michael Murray: Revealed a lot of juicy, previously unconfirmed news in an interview this morning.  He and the much-younger Kenzie (a former OTH extra) are still engaged and will likely marry in North Carolina.  He has no problem working with ex-wife Sophia Bush–especially since she’s with fellow co-star James Lafferty!  And the only thing stopping a seventh season of One Tree Hill is the network’s sign-on. Very, very interesting.

Economy: The reason networks are still airing low-rated shows like Knight Rider and Terminator: The  Sarah Connor Chronicles.  Great, so we’ll be broke AND un-entertained.

Trista and Ryan: As they await the arrival of baby number two, the couple is considering a return to reality television.  We have little respect for parents that want to subject their kids to that environemtn.

Jennifer Hudson and her late mother, Darnell

Jennifer Hudson and her late mother, Darnell

Jennifer Hudson: After finding out her mother and brother were murdered yesterday, the actress-singer has returned home to Chicago.  Hudson’s nephew is still missing and the FBI have joined the investigation, though a suspect–allegedly the boy’s father–is in custody. We can’t imagine the pain Hudson, who lost her father when she was a teen (and just got engaged last month), feels right now and we hope we’ll never have to.

Fall Out Boy: Trying to break a world record by appearing on more than 57 radio shows in a given day.  ‘Cause, you know, that’s cool.

DWTS: Reports are circulating that there’s beef between Cloris and the rest of the cast–though denials are being issued, too.  We all know they’re just upset that an 82-year-old has made it this far in the competition.

The View: Should the co-hosts not be allowed to wear politically-inspired clothing on the show?  That’s the latest coming from Barbara Walters after McCain-lover Elisabeth Hasselbeck sported a shirt for him on the show.  Stepping on free speech?  We’re undecided.

The CW: The network is no longer considered near-death thanks to the ratings improvement for Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill and the (questionable) success of 90210.  Though this makes us happy, we’re not gonna lie: we miss the WB.

Palin: Should she get a gig hosting a talk show if the whole VP thing doesn’t work out?  We’re thinking no.  If she doesn’t win for veep, obviously people don’t like her so why would they watch her show?

David Giuntoli: Who said there isn’t life after MTV?  This former no-name has parlayed a few seasons on Road Rules (and the spin-off challenges) into a role on Privileged.  Apparently he also kissed a dude on Grey’s Anatomy.  Who knew?

SIZZLED OUT: Carrie Underwood

STILL SIZZLING: Which megastar’s girlfriend is doing some of her own recording?  Perhaps they think it will help bring sexy back to their relationship.

The cast of All My Sons

The cast of All My Sons

Katie Holmes: Her short guest stint on Eli Stone will impact the whole season.  And her Broadway show has officially opened.  I don’t think Mrs. Tom Cruise needs anymore ego boosts.

John McCain: Admits he “screwed up” by backing out of his Letterman appearance last week.  Let’s hope that isn’t something he ever has to admit again.

Travis Barker: Wrote on his blog that he should be coming home soon and can’t wait to be with his “babes.” We’re going to assume he meant babies and not, you know, babes.  Warning: There is a somewhat grotesque of his burnt hand at the bottom of the  entry.  Look at your own risk.

OTH: We thought we saw the last of Lindsey (Michaela McManus).  We haven’t.  Shit.

Gossip Girl: The author of the book series has both love and hate for the TV show.  Well, so do the rest of us.

Actors’ Strike: It’s becoming more and more likely as talks between SAG and the studios continue to break down.  Time to take precautionary measures: stock up your TiVo!

Lilo and Saman: Lohan’s publicist deliberately said recently they weren’t dating.  But when asked if they broke up, she said things are “fine.”  So which is it?

STILL SIZZLING: Which actors have been going back and forth this week about a not-so-little thing called autism?

SIZZLED OUT: Demi Moore, mother of Rumer Willis

A little less time, a little more music, please.

A little less time, a little more music, please.

Madonna: Reports are swirling this morning that Madonna and Guy will announce the divorce that has been rumored for so long.  Her rep declined comment–perhaps that means an official statement this afternoon?  Check back later today for part 2!

Joe Manganiello: The actor–who plays Owen on One Tree Hill–has a legit Facebook profile.  No shit.

James Van der Beek: The return of Dawson?  Sort of.  One Tree Hill creator, Mark Schwahn, has confirmed that the teen soap veteran will guest-star on a November ep, as a filmmaker.  Kind of like Dawson, no?

Tim McGraw: He’s “embarrassed” that his record label put out another greatest hits album instead of new music.  After all, he’s had THREE compilations out in the last 2 years.  Time for new music is right!

Iron Man 2: Don Cheadle will be taking over Terrence Howard’s role.  We don’t really know what that means considering we never saw Iron Man in the first place.

Matthew Perry: Showtime is making a show starring the former friend but we’re more excited to see him in 17 Again with Zac Efron!

Gossip Girl: Yalies are quite upset with their portrayal in Monday’s episode.  Pretentious much?

TV Guide: The struggling mag has been sold to a private equity company.  No word yet on what that means exactly for the magazine but hopefully it’ll stay around long enough for us to work there!

Fall Out Boy: New album pushed back to DECEMBER?! Blame the election.

SIZZLED OUT: Maureen McCormick (Marcia Brady)

STILL SIZZLING: If rumors of a funeral are true, New York City may get a little less crowded on this TV show.

We know you look best when your brooding but we can't take much more!

Hot and smart? What a combination!

AniMayer: Star and The National Enquirer are reporting that these two are back on.  We’ll wait for more reliable sources before we comment.

Prison Break: Now we’ve watched the show since it began four years but if it gets any more complex, our heads are going to explode!

Gossip Girl: If you didn’t see last night’s ep, you missed some girl-on-girl fighting and Penn Badgley in nothing but his boxers.  But it’s not too late to start watching: the CW has ordered two additional episodes for this season, making 24 in all.

Teen TV: Think the lead characters always go on to big careers?  Think again.

Sophia Bush: In a new interview with CosmoGirl! (RIP), she says she only wants simple hang outs with friends “rather than dance on tables and have nine cocktails.”  Hm, wonder who she’s referring to…

Living Lohan: Ali revealed to Seventeen there might be a second season.  Brace yourselves.

Shannen Doherty: Worked out a deal to return to 90210 for two more episodes.  Not sure how we feel about this considering we were never Brenda fans in the first place.

SIZZLED OUT: John Lennon

STILL SIZZLING: Which former child star says in her new memoir that she dated Michael Jackson, Steve Martin AND her on-screen sibling?  That is one random bunch!
