You all probably thought The Real World: Key West was over, didn’t you? Well, guess what? It’s not over until the fat lady sings, and then has a reunion, and then airs a special about the shit she didn’t sing. Or something like that. Yes, last night was the triumphant, hour-long Key West reunion hosted [...]

Forget who got voted out tonight. Forget who won HOH. Forget pretty much any relevant development inside the Big Brother house. Tonight’s live eviction was about one thing and one thing only: BUT FIRST. Yes, what started out as a dorky observation between J-Unit and me four years ago has blossomed into a full-fledged entry [...]

Treasure Hunters, 8/21/06, NBC I was watching the awful, awful live finale of Treasure Hunters this week, and I couldn’t help but feel like intrepid host Laird Macintosh was trying to out-Chenbot the Chenbot. To prove my point, I have prepared three stunning arguments, all detailed in today’s Clipgasm. Beware: SPOILER ALERT if you haven’t [...]

Tom Cruise continues to reel from Sumner Redstone’s public smackdown, but the good news is that his company, Cruise/Wagner, has secured $100 million from private equity firms. The money will be used to fund future projects and/or fake babies. [NY Daily News] In case you haven’t heard yet, the upcoming season of Survivor will divide [...]

Like OMG! Did you see the party on Laguna Beach last night? Like everyone totally came! Even Kyndra and Cami showed up, even though they were all like “Eww! We hate confetti!” And Chase was like all about acting like he wasn’t going to go, but then he totally went! And then Tessa was like [...]

Little League World Series, 8/23/06, ESPN You never want to see a little kid hurt. That being said, this is hilarious.

The past few days, we’ve been having some frivolous fun with our journeys to Laguna Beach, but today, we’ve decided to get serious and expose something very disturbing about this seemingly idyllic community. Despite what the MTV reality show would have us believe, we discovered that there are actually non-white, non-pretty, and non-wealthy people that [...]

Long-standing New York City golden boy Sam Champion will take over as the official weatherman for Good Morning America. Sounds like the forecast calls for FABULOUS! [AP] 8,000 starry-eyed singers auditioned in Birmingham, AL for American Idol. With a little luck, maybe the state will bring us another superstar, just like previous Alabama winners, uh… [...]

Flavor of Love 2, 8/20/06, VH1 Our endless fascination with Buckwild will never wane. This week on Flavor of Love 2, we got to see her freestyle skillz in full effect. Looks like she learned well on the rough and tumble streets of Rancho Cucamonga.

Our hard-hitting exposé of the real Laguna Beach community continues as we try relentlessly to infiltrate the local Pomodoro, a restaurant famed for its role as the hottest date location in town. Turns out grabbing a table at this eatery is no easy task, but surely two famous bloggers such as ourselves would have no [...]

Fox aired the Teen Choice Awards last night where K-Fed debuted his sweet hip-hop stylings. The AP called the performance not “half-bad,” but then noted this morning that the reviewer had been accidentally watching a dancing Coke can instead. [AP] Mischa Barton was at the Teen Choice Awards too. (Just wanted to show her picture). [...]

The best part about tonight’s episode of Big Brother? It was like a whole week’s worth of drama crammed into one exciting, unpredictable and explosive hour (all with a dash of Chenbot — a fine robotic garnish to this hearty steak of a show). Was I happy with the results? Not so much. But that [...]

As part of our continued coverage of the Laguna Beach premiere week, we decided to wander down to the beach community and find out what life was really like on those hallowed shores. After we found a parking spot (an ordeal unto itself), we hoofed it around town, trying to follow in the footsteps of [...]

The best part of a new season of Laguna Beach? All the internet photos that follow. Thanks to sidekick Candace, we have a plenty to look at, including a keg stand, a vag-slip, and general trashiness. Our favorite pics after the jump…

The Real World, 8/15/06, MTV The Real World: Key West wrapped up its season this week, but thankfully, we managed to wring one last Clipgasm out of it. Enjoy Tyler’s triumphant striptease performance.

In case you couldn’t tell with our recent vignettes, we took a little trip down to the real life Laguna Beach a few weeks ago to see what all the hullabaloo was about. What we found was very disturbing: this seemingly normal community has NO parking spots! It was pure sadism, I tell you! So [...]

Anyone who skipped out on tonight’s live eviction episode of Big Brother didn’t necessarily miss any shocking developments as far as the ouster went, but in terms of Chenbot Malfunctions and nifty twists, this hour was a gold mine. The first twenty minutes were on the average side. We saw some general campaigning by Marcellas [...]

Laguna Beach, 8/16/06, MTV We were watching last night season premiere of Laguna Beach, and we couldn’t help but notice something peculiar about the opening credits…

Like OMG! New season of Laguna Beach! Did you even SEE the new cast? There was like Tessa who was like mousy and unpopular, and then there was like Kyndra who was a bitch, but also Cami who like went to the prom with Jason last year, and then like Raquel who like all the [...]

Dr. Phil, 8/16/06, Syndicated This may be a rerun, but dammit if it’s not compelling television. Warning: this clip includes excessive amounts of a Boston accent. Viewer discretion is advised.

Looks like Julie Chen has finally broken the glass ceiling for robots in the fashion mags. Yes, our very own Chenbot wound up in the pages of Glamour Magazine with a few little nuggets of info. For instance, did you know that she believes in big hair? Okay, maybe that’s not so shocking — anyone [...]

Britney Spears has announced that her latest pregnancy was unexpected. Apparently she didn’t realize that when you stick the candy bar thing in the furry taco, babies come out. [AP] David Copperfield has claimed to have found the Fountain of Youth on his own private island in the Bahamas. He says the healing waters of [...]

Laguna Beach, 8/16/06, MTV The new season of Laguna Beach starts tonight on MTV, and we are proud to present this exclusive, first-look scene. It can only be seen here — not even MTV will be airing it! Looks like it’ll be an awesome season!

After eight long, enjoyable months, The Real World: Key West has come to a teary-eyed close. I gotta admit, it was pretty sad — on many different levels. They were sad because they were all saying goodbye. I was sad because they seemed so sad. And the entire situation was sad because I was way [...]

Pop some bubbly and saddle up a donkey, the winner of Hell’s Kitchen 2 has been crowned! Yes, last night was the big season finale for the Gordon Ramsay extravaganza, and it was down to either “salad chef” Virginia or line chef Heather. They each had their advantages. Heather had experience. Virginia had a palate. [...]

Flavor of Love, 8/13/06, VH1 This would have been a bad time for a retread of last week’s poop adventure…

Oh great sadness! This season of Making the Band 3 has come to an end. How will we ever survive without the weekly snippets of studio life? Whither the recording booth drama? Whither the errant mice? Whither the all powerful BOOM CAT? Yes, such is life after MTB — when a Diddy-less Thursday leaves an [...]

On last night’s episode of Who Wants to Be A Superhero, Sci-Fi held one of those annoying text message contests. Unfortunately, what they didn’t reailze is that using the letters A, F, and G in the wrong order can be… well… you can see for yourself. Props to Madeyoulaugh for his eagle-eyes.

Treasure Hunters, 8/7/06, NBC What happens when three Massholes go to Philly? A whole lot of stimulating dialogue.

The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences is facing heat for nominating Ellen Burstyn’s 14 second performance in the HBO film, Mrs. Harris. Because the much-celebrated actress has only two lines in the movie — 38 words total — critics are wondering whether voters even watched the submission in the first place. Also raising suspicions: [...]

This just in! (Well, it may be a few hours old, but I just woke up). Due to technical difficulties during last night’s live Head of Household competition, Big Brother has re-staged the event, which means the leader of the house might not be who we thought it was. We won’t reveal who the new [...]

Tonight’s episode of Big Brother marked a major turn in the game. For the first time, a member of the season six alliance would be going home, which meant their glorious (read: frustrating) reign atop the house was officially drawing to a close. I was sad to see such a promising alliance buckle under its [...]

America’s Got Talent, 8/10/06, NBC You can always rely on Leonid the Magnificent for a Clipgasm, especially when he tries to employ humor instead of his trademark earnestness.

As far as lunatic fans go, you gotta respect the crazies that make it past the intense security surrounding high wattage celebrities like Madonna and Nicole Kidman. But then there are the lazy ones — the people who go after down-on-their-luck stars like Dustin Diamond, whose career has recently taken him from Saved By The [...]
