Sounds yummy to us!

24: Really don’t understand what the Obama administration has to do with 24 but maybe we don’t watch enough to know?

Obama: Inspired the new Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor, Yes Pecan. Get it?!

The Simpsons: In the process of making an episode written by and starring Seth Rogen. We may actually have to tune in for this one!

Nickelodeon: Their answer to High School Musical–called Spectacular–will air in February. Noteworthy fact: the film’s choreographer has also worked with Madonna and Britney!

Rumer Willis: The eldest daughter of Bruce and Demi will be Miss Golden Globe at the awards show tomorrow night. As the Daily Beast asks, how will this affect her career? “Will it Die Hard? Like a Ghost?”

Charles Barkley: Was in fact over the legal limit when he was arrested for DUI last month. Consequently, he’s “taking” a leave of absence from his sportscasting gig.

The Real World: Salon makes a great point: how come it took this long for the show to include a transgendered person in the cast? Oh, yeah. Because it’s no longer cutting edge!

Jossip: Has an interesting article examining the possible futures of CBS. In their words, “own the world or crash and burn.”

SIZZLED OUT: Burger King

STILL SIZZLING: Chace Crawford and his pretty face star in this rising singer’s new video.

NOT Sarah Palin!

Kevin Federline: Telling “his side” of his “life with Britney.” What timing!

90210: You can catch Jamie Walters (Ray Pruitt, whose songs were cut from the 90210 DVDs…tear!) on VH1’s new “celebreality” show Confessions of a Teen Idol. But will he perform??

Tori Spelling: The 90210 alum has apparently changed the release date of her second book to coincide with debut of her mom’s memoir. We love it!

Tina Fey: Being “sexed up” by the media, claims Salon. Won’t hurt her one bit, we think.

Gawker: We’re not even going to be able to get jobs at our back-up sites! We need a Plan C stat!

Denis Leary: Says 9/11 conspiracy theories will get some serious play on the new season of Rescue Me. The topic is both fascinating and sensitive. We can’t wait to see how it unfolds!

Tyra Banks: Humble enough to say she’s not a media mogul but not so humble to say she won’t be one some day. How admirable.

Guns N Roses: So the free Dr. Pepper didn’t work out so well, and, man, are they pissed!

Michael Phelps: Sports Illustrated’s Sportsman of the Year. Thank you, Captain Obvious!

Sean Avery: Trash-talking will get you suspended. Just ask Sean: he called out a rival hockey player for dating his ex, actress Elisha Cuthbert, and now he’s out indefinitely!

Ethan Hawke: Along with other celebs like Ashley Judd, he designed his very own box of condoms to be auctioned off for charity. Beyond weird.

SIZZLED OUT: Katy Perry

STILL SIZZLING: This new Broadway show has barely started and its already offering tickets at 40 percent off! On the bright side, the previews generated more than $1 million! Maybe it’ll live happier ever after afterall!

November 20, 2008 Pt. 2

Posted in Uncategorized with tags 90210, Barbara Walters, Brandon Flowers, Buddy TV, dwts, Guy Ritchie, Julianne Hough, Madonna, PC Magazine, PEOPLE, People's Choice Awards, Robert Downey Jr., Rosie Live, Rosie O'Donnell, Salon, the Killers, The View, Wall-E on November 20, 2008 by sizzlemaker

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!
