Real-life lovebirds!

Real-life lovebirds!

Obama: Not even the president can stand in the way of American Idol.  Though Obama said he wants primetime coverage this week for a press conference, Fox is refusing to give it to him.  The reason?  The conference could cut in to time scheduled for the Idol results show.

Fox: Here’s something the network IS willing to do: hold a contest to find the next best script writer.  If that means less reality shows, then that’s fine with us.

Slumdog Millionaire: Know how to make a great movie even better?  Have the two leads fall in love!  Slumdog’s Dev Patel and Freida Pinto are in a relationship, Patel’s mother confirmed.  Too cute!

Wolverine: News flash–superheros (or rather, the actors that play them) are not infallible.  The planned Mexico City premiere for Wolverine has been canceled due to the spread of the deadly swine flu.

Saved by the Bell: Gotta give Jimmy Fallon credit for trying to stage an SBTB reunion on his show.  Love this segment, which so closely paraodies one of the episodes, it’s kind of scary…in a good way!

YouTube: Does the phrase “shoes, betch!” mean anything to you?  If it does, you have to check out the latest video by “Kelly,” the character responsible for Shoes and Text Message Break-Up.

Gawker: It looks pretty but it’s really quite sad.  Gawker put together an image of all the recently-folded magazines.

SIZZLED OUT: Eminem

STILL SIZZLING: This singer and her ex say they’re modeling their second go-round on long-term couples like Tim Robbins & Susan Sarandon and Goldie Hawn & Kurt Russel.

We want a reunion!

We want a reunion!

Jennifer Aniston: Says her GQ photo spread wasn’t to “make any kind of statement.” She’s lying, and we all know it but it’s okay because the statement was much-needed.

HSM: Disney won’t appreciate this: Zac and Vanessa taking pics with fans in what appears to be a sex shop!

Pete Wentz: Wrote on his blog that he doesn’t “want to go down that road” of selling Bronx’s baby pictures.  We have a feeling that will change eventually.

Hugh Jackman: Having a bittersweet month: deemed Sexiest Man Alive, Australia fails and now named the host of the Oscars.  Still a pretty good life overall, no?

Hugh Jackman Pt. 2: So this pretty much guarantees that Australia won’t get any Oscar nods.  They wouldn’t have a host whose movie is in contention, right?!

Lauren Graham: Our favorite fast talker/Gilmore Girl is coming back to primetime!  An untitled show is in the works on ABC.  Would love to see an Alexis Bledel cameo!

Laurence Fishbourne: Predictions of a rise in black actors on TV (thanks to Obama’s win) will get its first test this week as Fishbourne joins the cast of CSI.

Showtime: We think this will be a disaster but we know they don’t care what we think (but you do!  Thanks, guys!)  The cable channel is launching a show called “Way Out” where cameras film closeted gays telling the truth to their families.

Andy Samberg: Releasing an album with the rest of the Lonely Island boys from SNL.  We just don’t get the appeal.  Who wants to explain it to us?

Obama: Among the stars and musical guests expected at inauguration events:  Anne Hathaway, Sting, Tim Robbins, Ron Howard and Spike Lee.

DreamWorks Animation: Planning Madagascar 3 and movies in 3-D.

Newspapers: Will not be bailed out by the government.  For your First Amendment rights and ours, that is a good thing!

NYT: Would a merger with Google be the answer to their financial problems?  Only if you’re willing to throw away family history.

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!
