If Mischa Barton Gets Canned, Who Will I Make Fun Of On The Fall Lineup?

57789758mischabarton721200915612pm As I mentioned the other day, I just feel like part of my soul has been ripped out ever since Mischa Barton was put into Cedars-Sinai on that 5150.  A life where I feel like I can't make fun of Mischa is hardly one worth living.  For example, the other day I tried telling a joke to someone about how Mischa was kicked out of a Making a Potholder class over the weekend.  My punch line had something to do with suede fringe and headbands and a crackpipe -- as is the punch line for all Mischa Barton jokes -- but I couldn't even get to it ... m...

Where’s Kelly When I Need Her? Sports News … Ugh.

16869131erinandrews721200914337pm It's kind of a slow news day.  Well, it's a slow news day if you're sick and tired of talking about anything related to Jon Gosselin or Michael Jackson.  And I am.  However, there is a ton of stuff going on in the sports world, so I'm going to do my best to tell you about it. The UFC league's -- and today I learned that is an acronym for Ultimate Fighting Champion -- Kimo Leopoldo has died at the age of 41.  Initial reports are indicating that he had a heart attack, but he also had a ...

Everything Is Falling Into Place

56960514britneyspears7212009122436pm Things are getting back to normal for Britney Spears.  Dad Jamie has asked the courts to review the conservatorship when her tour ends in November.  I suspect that "Daddy is in control" was one of the major clauses that concert promoters insisted upon when scheduling the "Circus"  tour.   Though Spears Sr. cannot actually request for the conservatorship to be dissolved, it looks like he's hoping that it will be so that Britney can get back to the business of being a normal, decision-making...

Relief On So Many Levels

57944059notportiaderossi7212009115554am Where to begin?  First of all, I was really happy and relieved to learn that Samantha Ronson isn't trying to make the moves on my Portia De Rossi.  The photo agency had the pics tagged incorrectly, and Sam was actually out to dinner with Drea De Matteo.  That raccoon tail really should have been the giveaway.  Two blondes with a "De" in their name, and a photographer who can't tell the difference between the two -- and I'm actually surprised by how similar they do look --  is all it takes ...

Jennifer Love Hewitt Takes On Second Fiance Of 2009

90612x1_hewitt_b-gr_01 It was only this past January that Jennifer Love Hewitt and Ross McCall ended their year-long engagement and the universal question was posed:  Will Jennifer Love Hewitt ever find love again?  Take heart, the answer is a resounding "YES!" JLH's boyfriend Jamie Kennedy was on stage Saturday night at the Laugh Factory comedy club in Long Beach -- I didn't even know he was a comedian.  Isn't that horrible? -- when an audience member yelled out that he should marry Hewitt.  Kennedy responded by...

Joe Jackson Talks About Slavery. Relevancy Unknown

Crazy Joe Jackson was on Larry King Live last night and discussed -- what else? -- Michael.  The elder Jackson was pretty adamant in letting King's audience know that he didn't abuse Michael and that rumors of Joe beating his children are somehow related to the days of slavery.  I'm starting to wonder if JJ doesn't have a little pill habit of his own. Also, in a seemingly unintentional act of irony, Joe praised his own parenting skills -- he made no mistakes -- and pointed out that most ...

Futurama Replaces Entire Cast

50993343futurama720200991502am Let this be a lesson to anyone who is trying to negotiate a higher salary in this economy -- are you listening Paula Abdul?  Comedy Central's Futurama will be back in 2010 but you probably won't recognize it.  That's because the entire cast has been replaced since they couldn't come to an equitable agreement on salary.   That is because producing studio 20th TV is proceeding with auditioning new actors for the roles after failing to reach an agreement with the original voice cast: John DiMaggio, Maurice LaMarche, Billy Wes...

Oprah’s Ratings Crash Faster Than Paul Blart’s Blood Sugar

Oprah Winfrey I realize that if you didn't see Paul Blart: Mall Cop, that headline is lost on you, so I've prepared an alternative.  How about, "Oprah's Ratings Crash Faster Than Lizzie Grubman's SUV Into A Crowd of Pedestrians" ?  The moral of the story:  The American people have smartened up and aren't watching Oprah.  And I thank you for that. The week ending July 5th was the worst in ratings since 1983, the debut year of The Oprah Winfrey Show.  It isn't a totally fair comparison since it was a ...

Angelina’s Stylist Stripped Of Dresses

16500080angelinajolie720200994243am Someone stole three boxes of dresses from Angelina Jolie's stylist.  The suspect was later found zonked out in an alley. He reportedly examined the loot he grabbed, realized it was just a bunch of dresses for Angie and immediately fell asleep out of boredom due to the lack of creativity and imagination.  Okay, I'm kidding about that.  The criminal is still at large.   So if you see some madman running down the street with a bunch of black, beige and navy, high-neck maxi dresses slung over his arm, call the cops!...

Harry Potter Casts Spell On Box Office

Is anyone surprised that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has made a ton of money already?  The movie took in $79.5M this weekend (domestically) and $159.7M since Wednesday's release.  In addition, overseas sales totalled $237M. It's ironic, because Huffington Post characterizes this chapter of the Harry Potter franchise as a movie "with some of the best reviews of any Harry Potter" yet, everything I've heard from friends and family haven't been so positive.  A lot of "I liked it, but ..." Anyway, Bruno -- remember him? -- plummeted from an opening weekend of $30.6M to just $8.4M this weekend.  Put away your calculators, that's a 73% drop Here's the weekend's top (I Love You, Beth Cooper sold tickets?): 1. "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," $79.5 million. 2. "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs," $17.7 million. 3. "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," $13.8 million. 4. "Bruno," $8.4 million. 5. "The Hangover," $8.32 million. 6. "The Proposal," $8.3 million. 7. "Public Enemies," $7.6 million. 8. "Up," $3.1 million. 9. "My Sister's Keeper," $2.8 million. 10. "I Love You, Beth Cooper," $2.7 million. />Is anyone surprised that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has made a ton of money already?  The movie took in $79.5M this weekend (domestically) and $159.7M since Wednesday's release.  In addition, overseas sales totalled $237M.
