I guess the real news networks are tired of losing viewers to Comedy Central. The Daily Show's new tagline should be: "More Americans get their news from The Daily Show ... than CNN would prefer."
So CNN has signed on D.L. Hughley to do a weekend show, and he's already in defense mode, making it clear that this is not a cheap attempt to replicate The Daily Show's success, even though it totally is.
"I am very excited for the opportunity to work with the network that I have watched fo...
Here's a first look at the new Showtime comedy, The United States of Tara, written by much-hyped Juno scribe Diablo Cody. It stars Toni Colette as a married mother with dissociative personality disorder.
From /Film:
I might have read the script. And if I did, I’d tell you how it’s peppered with Cody’s pop-culture obsessed snap-filled dialog, minus the intense slang of Juno. And it’s not light either. In the opening it is revealed that Tara has just found morning after pills in her 16-year-old daughter’s Kate’s bag. It’s later revealed that (potential spoiler warning) one of Tara’s alter egos, a burnout teenage stoner named T, was the one who supplied her with said pills. If Collette can actually pull off each of the personalities, and actually make it believable, this could be Showtime’s next Dexter.
Does it look good?
Will you guys be tuning in? />

Um ... it took me awhile to believe the photo agency on this one, but, yes, that's actually Rose McGowan, sporting an uncharacteristically ... uh ... librarian look at a cancer benefit luncheon in Bel Air.
Also there: Perrey Reeves and a preggers Angie Harmon, who has somehow managed to have skinnier arms while pregnant than I have ever had in my entire life, including pre-pubescence. How is that possible?

Aubrey O'Day may have been kicked out of Danity Kane, but she's not going to let that stop her from wandering around the New York social scene in all sorts of unconscionable outfits.
On Wednesday night, she hit up the Readers Choice Awards at the New York Public Library. Wearing that. She also posed a bit with my new girl-crush, Katrina Bowden.

This should come as a shock to no one.
At some point after she realized her husband was a cheating, sex-addicted asshole, Tea Leoni left him.

"In light of continuous speculation over the lives and marriage of Tea Leoni and David Duchovny, the couple has confirmed that they have in fact been separated for several months," the statement says. "The couple had hoped to keep this separation private for the sake of their children."
So, ya know, there you h...

So Britney Spears is going to trial. It's because of that stupid incident two summers ago where she hit a parked car in a lot swarming with paparazzi and everyone realized that she was still driving on a Louisiana license even though she was a California resident. Britney refused to plead guilty and the case is going to trial, and they're currently in jury selection and having a great deal of trouble with that process.
Britney's lawyers are like "Dude, the state is only making a big deal out of ...
