Today we have a cocaine-addled former crotch juggler (boy band singer), a foreign actor who likes to say a really verboten word, and a couple that's not quite as happy as we thought.
Oh, Joe Jackson. Deceased Michael's monster of a father held a press conference today with Al Sharpton in which he managed to lovingly honor his tragically-fated son promote his "record company" and just appear all around looney-tunes.
So who watched Hung last night? HBO's latest installment in its string of series depicting lives lived on the fringes of America is about a well-endowed gym teacher who becomes a gigolo to earn some extra cash. It was... good?
The Oscars keep shaking things up to feel young again, a bunch of pictures lurch or glide into production, Canadians make big in American TV, and layoffs plague two LA TV stations.
Pretty much everything was robots this weekend. Lots and lots of people wanted to see the robots. But other people wanted to see snarky people fall in love in Alaska. Others still wanted drunks in Las Vegas. But mostly, robots.
Today we have an actor with a too-big head, a riot grrl who turned her Glastonbury portapotty into a coke den, an actress with a secretly miserable marriage, and a nice one about charity and people and stuff.
So: Bret Easton Ellis is on the cover of expensive Amsterdam-based magazine Fantastic Man, drinking a Diet Coke. In it, he calls the soul-sucking experience that is The Hills "the greatest show that I have ever seen in my life."
Infamous gossip monger/dirtbag Perez Hilton has maybe had the worst week of his life. And it's beginning to show: Perez is blogging scared. Is this the end for him?
Bruno is involved in the whole Michael Jackson foofaraw, of course. There's a scene in the film where the Austrian gay toys with LaToya Jackson and tries to get her brother's phone number from her BlackBerry. Should Universal cut it?
Today we have an ex-politician cheating on her husband, a not-so-sober rock singer, an actress with some manner of sex principles, a snobby actress, and a girl who doesn't discriminate based on race.
Sacha Baron Cohen's Bruno doesn't open in the U.S. until July 10th, but he's already out doing press for the film. Tonight he was the guest on The Tonight Show and, of course, he was utterly ridiculous.
Today one of the biggest stars in the history of the world died. How did the internet's self-proclaimed "Queen of all Media" respond? By accusing Michael Jackson of faking the whole thing.
