Yep, Donald Trump has spawned yet again: Melania Knauss gave birth to a baby boy this morning. Trump issued a typical response: “I continue to stay young, right? I produce children, I stay young.” Charming! Witnesses noted that throughout the eight-hour labor Ms. Knauss’s facial expression did not change even once. [AP] In addition to [...]

Grey's Anatomy

Ha ha! Did you ever think this week’s Grey’s Anatomy column would be titled “Stick a Fork in It”? What were the odds? Anyway, after a week hiatus thanks to the annual train wreck that is the Oscars, our favorite soapy medi-dramedy was back in fine form. In a subtle nod to yesteryear, our opening [...]

The producers of the forthcoming movie remake of Dallas are apparently looking to cast John Travolta as J.R. and Jennifer Lopez as Sue Ellen, among others. People seem to be up in arms over the choice of Mr. Travolta, but whatever, I’m just waiting for the 227 movie. [BBC] Brokeback Mountain author Annie Proulx is [...]

Isaac Hayes has quit South Park, as he is suddenly shocked, shocked that the show displays “intolerance and bigotry” and ridicules religious belief. Dude, not sure how to break this to you, but for the last nine years you’ve been on the payroll of a show that’s featured NAMBLA, “cripple fights,” Christopher Reeve sucking on [...]

According to reports, Diane Sawyer is in as anchor of ABC World News Tonight, bringing the squinty, smiling condescension that we all know and adore to millions of American households each evening. Granted, it required Machiavellian manipulation of a fateful combination of events (i.e., roadside bomb and rapidly expanding fetus), but THAT’S WHY WE LOVE [...]

During an interview on The View, Donald Trump said that he would probably date his own daughter, Ivanka, were she not, um, the seed of his own loins. He noted that she has a “very nice figure,” singling out for recognition her “yuge breasts” and “fifty billion dollar ass.” [MSNBC] Madonna‘s daughter, Lourdes, apparently has [...]

Awards Shows

Lordy lordy. In case you hadn’t heard, the 78th annual Academy Awards were last night, and boy were they a doozy. Where to begin. Crash, which pulled off a huge upset? Dolly Parton, who brought her two sisters along? Jon Stewart, who will likely never be invited back? Altogether, though the ceremony remained mind-numbing even [...]

As noted in our recap, Paula Abdul was JACKED OUT OF HER MIND during the live broadcast of American Idol on Thursday, just hours after having disrupted airport security in order to make her Southwest Airlines (?!?) flight from Las Vegas to L.A. Well at least she certainly “made the Vicodin her own.” [Boston Herald] [...]

Grey's Anatomy

Ooh, another good episode of Grey’s Anatomy—we’re on a roll. Eagerly awaiting the fallout from last week’s sex fiasco, in a twist we get a voiceover from George rather than Meredith. Admittedly, the voiceover is as retarded as always—this time containing helpful hints about karma management in one’s daily life. Even the best of us [...]

Grey's Anatomy

Well I sure didn’t see that coming. The previews made it look like this week’s Grey’s Anatomy would be essentially a throwaway, a fun little breather after all the drama of the Code Black fiasco. But NO—instead we had a big plot twist at the end that just made things about a hundred times more [...]

The war of words between Donald Trump and Martha Stewart has escalated to Muhammad-cartoon levels.

Grey's Anatomy

Yeah, this week’s Grey’s Anatomy was a panty-buncher. Would the bomb go off? Would the writers be able to keep up the tension in the second half of a two-parter? By and large it was a success, though the most interesting parts this week actually came in the realm of character development rather than suspense. [...]

This is totally unrelated, but in the absence of any notable entertainment news I just wanted to point out that Condoleezza Rice is the black version of Lucy from Peanuts.

Grey's Anatomy

This week was yuge for Grey’s Anatomy. Just yuge. The show hit several notable milestones: 1) the much-coveted post-Superbowl timeslot; 2) its first-ever TO BE CONTINUED…; 3) lesbian shower fantasies; 4) new heights of suspense; and 5) even loftier heights in the suspension-of-disbelief department. All unreality notwithstanding, it made for a great hour of television [...]

Well praise be to Oprah, because this was a great episode of Grey’s Anatomy. All the hallmarks that were missing from the last few episodes—surprise revelations, touching deathbed scenes, interesting new characters, hearty borscht-belt humor—were back in force. So take that, you Desperate Housewives bitches. Nonetheless, though this turn of events is most welcome, it [...]
