The original Zack!

The original Zack!

Zac vs. Zack: It’s a battle of the Zac(k)s this weekend–one real, one fictional.  As much as we love us some HSM, we saw Zach and Miri last night and it was pretty funny.  We have a feeling Efron will still come out on top, though.  (Though we can’t forget about our other favorite Zack: Zack Morris!)

MPAA: It’s become common knowledge now the struggle Zack and Miri faced in trying to get a R rating, instead of NC-17.  You can thank the MPAA for that (and for other weird decisions), whose ratings system turns 40 today.

Sarah Silverman: What’s more awkward than an awkward break up?  Making fun of said break up with your ex on national television. Awkward for them, that is.  Hilarious for us.

Heidi Klum: The supermodel may pull off a super disappearance if a certain Republican wins the election.  Guys, start your protests now.

Fashion Rocks: The annual fashion show/concert benefiting charity won’t happen next year.  And, yes, you can blame the economy.

SIZZLED OUT: Hilarie Burton

STILL SIZZLING: This controversial TV judge failed to make the cut.  His girlfriend of six years just dumped him!

*Note: We’re sizzled out until Monday, 11/3.  Try to hang in there!

No longer a (wannabe) journalist

No longer a (wannabe) journalist

Obama: His presidency may pose the biggest challenge to political cartooning.  The satirists are fretting about how to depict him without being too offensive.  But isn’t offensiveness part of the point?

Lydia Hearst: The publishing heiress has resigned from her New York Post column on grounds that her editor published something with her name that she, in fact, did not write.  Who knew the socialite had such morals?

90210: Back with new episodes tonight…and another interracial couple?  So it seems.

Jonas Bros.: Coming to a theater near you in Walter the Farting Dog.  We just threw up a little.

The Hills: We rarely write about this show because we think it kills brain cells, but we must applaud David Letterman for cleverly attacking L.C. and co. on his show last night.

Hairspray: A sequel is in the works but John Travolta says he’s unlikely to reprise his cross-dressing role.  We’re not thrilled with the idea of a sequel but we feel better about it knowing Travolta won’t be a part of it.

Janet Jackson: Her tour is really not going well.  After canceling a string of dates due to migraines, her opening act LL Cool J (though we like to spell it out: Ladies Love Cool James) has dropped out.  Refund, please.

Zac Efron: Does success in HSM mean success in all other things?  That’s what the execs of the Footloose remake are hoping.  The producion dates have been moved up following Zac’s mega-box office receipts with HSM 3.

Does the show need to save itself?

Does the show need to save itself?

Jennifer Hudson: The actress/singer, who we wrote about earlier this week, has lost both her mother and brother today in a double homicide.  Her nephew is still missing and the suspect, supposedly the boy’s father, is in custody.  More details will be released tomorrow.  Beyond tragic.

Marc Anthony: Says his life with J. Lo is “designed around the twins.”  Isn’t that what it’s supposed to be when you have kids?!  And, Mark, you should know that by now considering you also have kids with your ex-wife!

Heroes: Critics are calling each other out on being too hard (or soft) on the show.  With such a stellar reputation, is it fair to say the show’s gone downhill?  Every show does reach its peak eventually…

World Series: Well, some people are watching this year’s lackluster match-up.  (Yankees, we miss you!)  Despite horrible ratings predictions, the game beat all other programming on Wednesday night.  Still, it was down 15 percent from last year, so the possibility of this being the lowest-rated series of all time is still there.  Sigh.

Tim McGraw: One nice thing about this year’s World Series is that it lets McGraw honor his father, Tug, who won the first and only series for the Phillies in 1980.

Vanessa Hudgens: Says BF/co-star Zac Efron is “a good kisser.”  What we’ve all been dying to know or TMI?

Obama: Endorsed by another former member of Bush’s administration: Scott McCellan.  Hardly surprising since the ex-press secretary published a tell-all earlier this year about the White House’s deception under George W.

Curb Your Enthusiasm: Humorists rejoice!  The show will be back…in 2009.  Happy waiting!

Palin: Want a high-paying job?  Just sign up to be Palin’s traveling make-up artist.  For two weeks, she was the highest paid staffer of the whole campaign!

30 Rock: Things to look forward to when the show returns this Thursday: cameos from Oprah, Jennifer Aniston, Steve Martin, Megan Mullally and the list goes on.  Maybe we should start watching.

10/23-10/24 BONUS POST

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , on October 24, 2008 by sizzlemaker

It’s 230AM and we just got back from High School Musical 3.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

Not that we had any doubts.

SOME THOUGHTS

The theater was pretty empty.  Surprising and disappointing.  Then again, it was a midnight movie.

There was a trailer for the movie Bolt that was specifically made to run before HSM.  Hilarious.

If you loved the first two, you’ll love this one, too.  By now you know what to expect and they give it to you.

Zac Efron shirtless.  ‘Nuff said.

Clever, subtle references to the first two movies.  Very rewarding for long-time fans.

New characters introduced so they can carry on the series to a HSM 4 and beyond.

There is a kiss!  Finally!

Stay through the credits to see outtakes.

WE CAN’T WAIT TO SEE IT AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN!

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.

She's 40!

She's 40!

Beverly Hills Chihuahua: This movie topped the box office two weeks in a row!  We have to wonder what this says about America’s taste in movies…

DWTS: Forget all the hoopla surrounding Cheryl Burke’s fit/not fit body.  We still can’t believe Carrie Ann Inaba is 40!  How long ’til she becomes a MILF?

Johnny Depp: Speaking of still being hot for your age, Johnny Depp was just voted sexiest man by Cosmopolitan UK.  Our favorite Johnny look: Crybaby!

Miley Cyrus: The barely 16-year-old claims she’s fallen in love more than 20 times.   So how long until she’s pulling a Britney?

Zac Efron: Not taking over Daniel Radcliffe’s full-frontal role on Broadway.  One word: damn.

Barack Obama: Ballots mailed to Albany residents presented ‘Barack Osama’ as one of the candidates.  Correct versions were later sent out but is the damage already done?

Still hanging tough!

Still hanging tough!

NKOTB: Now that New Kids on the Block have staged a successful (?) reunion, who’s next?  NSYNC?  BSB?  O–Town?  2ge+ther?  98 Degrees?  BBMak?  Evan and Jaron?  LFO?  The list goes on and on…

Obama Mania: Good ol’ community organizer Barack is planning 30-minute campaign ads on some of the major networks.  Wait, that’s what we thought debates were for…?!

Barbara Walters: Why is everyone giving Babs flack for interviewing Peter Cook?  She’s a journalist!  She’s supposed to interview the “bad guys”!

Ryan Reynolds: Plan A to stay relevant: Marry someone more famous than you. Plan B: Run in a marathon benefiting Parkinson’s Disease research. Guess we can’t make fun of you any more.

Ashley Tisdale: The Tis claims she’s never been attracted to friend and co-star Zac Efron.  Liar!

SIZZLED OUT: Rosie O’Donnell

STILL SIZZLING: Which rock band is PO’ed at a certain presidential candidate for using one of their songs at campaign events?  Says the band: “To have it appropriated without our knowledge and used in a manner that perverts the original sentiment of the lyric just tarnishes the song.”  Guess that means they’re voting for “that one”!
