Oh, Brandon, you're too pretty to be angry!

Madonna: Reportedly reached a settlement with soon-to-be ex-husband Guy Ritchie. How many of you are disappointed there won’t be a long, drawn-out court fight?

90210: No new episodes until January. We think this is a good thing. Buddy TV just wrote a pretty fair assessment of the first half of the season, though we probably would’ve been a bit harsher.

90210 Pt. 2: Up for Favorite New Television Drama at the People’s Choice Awards. Absurd. Totally absurd. See above.

DWTS: When Julianne Hough was eliminated the other night, we had no idea it would be her last time on the show, like, ever! She says she doesn’t plan on returning next season, and singing will be her primary focus. Blasphemous!

Salon: Named Robert Downey Jr. the Sexiest Man Living. Blatant rip-off of PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive.

Wall-E: Quite possibly more popular with adults than kids. Considering the film went over even our heads a little, we can believe that.

The Killers: What happens when you misquote one of their lyrics? Brandon Flowers gets very, very angry.

PC Magazine: Will be on-line only in the future. On the one hand, this makes complete sense for a mag all about computers. On the other hand, it’s just more bad news for the industry.

Rosie O’Donnell: Promises controversy-free fun on next week’s Rosie Live. “The job description here is to entertain. … It will be an hour of fun, laughter, singing and dancing,” she said. We wish we were in the audience!

The View: In response to another part of the above interview, where Rosie reflects on her frustrating times at The View, Babs said today (on-air) that Rosie needs to move on with her life. She kinda is, though, no? It’s not Ro’s fault the interviewers keep asking her questions that rehash old shit!

Look familiar? You just saw it reimagined (aka poorly copied) on last night's OTH.

Gossip Girl: Last night’s ep was the second with Wallace Shawn, known to most of us as the teacher from Clueless. He seems out of place, but then again, that is precisely the point.

Gossip Girl Pt. 2: Nate turned his father in to the Feds. How original. Oh wait. Dawson’s Creek did that back in 19-freakin-99!

One Tree Hill: Speaking of biting off of a original (and arguably better) teen drama, did Chad Michael Murray seriously pen a scene that was a direct copy of Toni’s death in Dylan’s arms (in the rain, no less!) on 90210? And that was from 1996, people! We don’t care what they say: imitation is NOT the sincerest form of flattery!

Obama: Gave 60 Minutes its best ratings in 9 years. So when will the attraction begin to fade?

Obama Pt. 2: Newsweek is predicting a baby boom directly tied to Obama’s win. Everyone gettin’ busy on election night? Stranger things have happened.

Stephen Colbert: You know you’re big when D.C.’s elite gets together to roast you. Will Obama be next?

TRL: This pays better tribute to the finale than we ever could.

TV Guide: Also making staff cuts. We. Give. Up.

Scarlett Johansson: Apparently she was Katy Perry’s inspiration for I Kissed a Girl. Are we the only ones that don’t find her (or her lips) attractive??

Viewer Habits: Unhappy? Likely you watch more TV. No shame in that!

Rosie O’Donnell: Her variety show is fast approaching and we’re totally psyched!

House: Will Thirteen die? That’s what E!Online is suggesting…

Heather Locklear: Officially charged with DUI–a misdemeanor. No word yet on the possible reprecussions if found guilty.

Cloris Leachman: We told you that an 82-year-old on DWTS wasn’t a good thing! The former contestant was in the hospital recently for a “bad cold.” Is that what they’re calling it these days?

SIZZLED OUT: Ashlee Simpson

STILL SIZZLING: This tough guy is accused of pulling a Martha! Or so the government says. The former DWTS contestant–and current owner of the Dallas Mavericks–has been charged with insider trading. He plans to let justice “do its job,” whatever that means.

November 12, 2008 Pt. 2

Posted in Uncategorized with tags Adam Sandler, Alanis Morrisette, anne hathaway, Billy Joel, Brad Garrett, Cody Linley, dwts, Elton John, Jennifer Aniston, Joe Jonas, jonas brothers, Maurice Green, Ne-Yo, Raffaello Follieri, Rosie O'Donnell, Taylor Swift on November 12, 2008 by sizzlemaker

Will daddy's little twin make room for baby?

American Idol: A failed contestant, reportedly obsessed with judge Paula Abdul, committed suicide outside the singer’s home. Will the show be softer with its criticism now? Sadly, we doubt it.

Idol Gives Back: Guess not everything they do is bad. They raised $64 million for international charities.

Adam Sandler: Remains the only man in his family since his wife just gave birth to a baby girl. This makes a second mini-me for the funnyman. His older daughter looks just like him!

Rosie O’Donnell: The first details about Ro’s variety special are slipping out: Alanis Morrisette and Ne-Yo will both perform. After all, she’s the Queen of Nice and she can have whatever she likes.

Jennifer Aniston: Throws around phrases like “this is going to be a hayride and a half.” No wonder she’s still single. She also says she and ex John Mayer “adore one another.” Hmmmm…

Billy Joel: Going on tour with Elton John…for two years?! At least, says the piano man. He also claims ticket prices won’t be high. Yeah, we’ll believe it when we see it.

DWTS: Was there some poor sportsmanship at last night’s elimination? After Maurice Green got the ax, the audience burst out into cheers. And that was audience consisted of teens happy that hottie Cody Linley was still in the game.

Raffaello Follieri: Anne Hathaway’s ex wants to change prisons because the jail he’s in now is too “unsanitary.” What, you thought you were going to a country club?

Joe Jonas: Poor Taylor Swift! Not only did the Jo Bro dump her in such a we-must-still-be-in-high-school way, but he’s also already moved on! Sketch!

Brad Garrett: Everybody doesn’t love Brad. Or the papparazzi. The result: a criminal investigation into battery. Oh boy.

With a body like that, no wonder he was marathon-ready!

SNL: Their HSM and The View spoofs were pretty funny. John McCain–not so much.

FNCU: We thought this was a joke. It’s not. You can apply to Fox News Channel University. Don’t get too alarmed, though–it’s just an internship program.

Ryan Reynolds: Completed the New York City Marathon on behalf of “those who can’t,” namely sufferers of Parkinson’s Disease, something very near and dear to our hearts.

Nelly: Finally admitting to a years-long relationship with Ashanti. The key to their relationship? Having fun. Ha! If only it were that easy!

November Sweeps: It’s just about here! Things to look forward to: Oprah on 30 Rock, Rosie’s variety show, the 24 movie and much more! Woot woot!

The CW: Since the network seems fixated on remakes these days, some are calling for a Saved By The Bell spin-off. We wouldn’t complain. Or would we?

Def Jam: The executive vice president was found dead Saturday in an apparent suicide. The exec, Jay-Z’s successor, was responsible for artists like Beyonce, Ciara and Young Jeezy throughout his career in the music business. We’ve been saying it a lot lately and we’ll say it once more: too much death.

SIZZLED OUT: Simon Cowell

STILL SIZZLING: Which political pundit, spoofed on SNL this weekend, decided to crash the rehearsal just to see how Ben Affleck would depict him?

October 29, 2008 Pt. 2

Swinging the bat at a teammate

Election: What better way to get kids involved than to write a song to the tune of T.I.’s Whatever You Like? Brilliant.

DWTS: Finally! Adios, Cloris!

Rebecca Budig: Why make a much-hyped return to All My Children only to leave again one year later? The actress attributes her departure to her busy life with husband (and former Bachelor hunk) Bob Guiney. We hope ABC feels stupid now for all its “the real Greenlee returns” promotion. So now we’ll be back with a “fake one”?

Derek Jeter: Gave a subtle diss to teammate and former BFF A-Rod when he told a reporter “Don’t start with me about Kabbalah. I went to Catholic school.” Is a locker room brawl in the future?

Rosie O’Donnell: Reacted to the Jennifer Hudson tragedy by putting some startling statistics up on her blog. Turns out, it’s ridiculously common to be murdered by an “intimate partner.” Such a tragic, scary world we live in.

Russell Brand: Never one to stay out of trouble, the British (actor? host? comic? WHAT IS HE?!) resigned from the BBC after harassing another actor through voicemail. This is not the first time Brand’s left his place of employment in a huff. Right after 9/11, he showed up for work at MTV dressed as Osama Bin Laden. Classy.
