Sarah Silverman could have been nicer to Paris Hilton at the MTV Movie Awards. Hours after her surprise appearance on the red carpet, our girl began new phase in her career when she turned herself in at the Men’s Central Jail in downtown Los Angeles.

Poor us. It appears that her international jet-setting schedule and her husband’s call to service by the Brisith national football team means that Victoria Beckham, aka Skinny Spice, will not be able fulfill her commitment to tape an NBC reality series about her family’s move from Blighty to Beverly Hills. Poor everyone, because the reality [...]

What better way to lurch into the weekend than with a warning to never drink and drive from none other than Lindsay Lohan (we like the fact that she couldn’t keep a straight face through the 10 second spot). That was two years ago. See why Lindsay is so lucky this week… after the jump…

Looks like Heidi Montag‘s decision to get a new set of new breasts has paid off. Playboy magazine is offering her a million dollars to show them off. Well, at least that’s the word from The Hills star’s other boob, her manager and fiance, Spencer Pratt. $1,000.000.00?

Fred Dalton Thompson is leaving Law & Order so he can run for President of the United States. Jeremy Sisto is joining Law & Order so he can have a steady gig playing a detective. Thompson has played District Attorney Arthur Branch for five seasons. Sisto will play a brand-new character, and will probably replace [...]

The upcoming fourth season of the Sci Fi Channel’s Battlestar Galactica will be its last. After months of speculation and leaks from high-placed sources, the producers will make the announcement at a press conference today.

Dania Ramirez, who’s made her mark as Blanca, the single mom who breaks young AJ’s heart in the final seasons of The Sopranos, is joining NBC’s Heroes when it returns in the fall. The 26-year-old actress has comic book experience, having played the mutant babe Callisto in X-Men: The Last Stand. Her Heroes hero will [...]

We took a lot of heat for even suggesting that our new American Idol Jordin Sparks was slightly larger than the average 17-year-old girl (all right, we said she was a giantess!). And when that lady from that group called National Action Against Obesity accused Jordin of promoting childhood obesity, the banana splits hit the [...]

Mark Burnett launches his Survivor-on-a-pirate-ship series, Pirate Master, on CBS at 8 pm tonight. But will it be enough to wash away the stink of On The Lot, the Steven Spielberg-connected and Steven Spielberg-less competition that makes us long for the Pete Jones days of Project Greenlight (though we’re still getting a chuckle from “nerd” [...]

Find out what this is all about… after the jump…

“I’m sick of it. I’ve never been drunk. I don’t do recreational drugs. It’s defamation of character!” Waaaaaaaaaaa! Paula Abdul, American Idol‘s loopy little judge and star of a new Bravo “reality” series whose ads show her falling in the street and bumping her head getting out of cars, is whining and moaning in the [...]

David Hyde Pierce– you know him as Niles from Frasier– is as gay as Doogie Howser and Dr. George O’Malley combined. And now, the week in which we mourn Charles Nelson Reilly, whose pioneering gay bravery puts all the closeted TV sissies to shame, we can finally say it, because today an Associated Press story [...]

TiVo alert! Reunited: The Real World Las Vegas premieres at 10 pm tonight on MTV. The original cast will move back in together at the Palms Casino Resort and compare notes about how things have changed over the past five years. The six-episode series is the first in Real World history to reunite a cast [...]

David Alan Grier, one veteran of In Living Color who’d show up for a reunion show, is getting his shot to match Jon Stewart and Dave Chappelle simultaneously with David Alan Grier’s Chocolate News, an “urban” topical laff fest that leads Comedy Central’s batch of pilots for the 2007-2008 season. And the actor-turned-comic who’s surviving [...]

The Oxygen network has two new series and new installment of another set for the summer. Interesting that the former “network for women” keeps the emphasis on girls– in shows that all have hooks for the guys (meaning there’s not a Tori Spelling in the bunch). Bad Girls, Fight Girls and Slave Girls. You do [...]

Barbara Walters took back control of The View this morning, spewing out her usual mouthload of obvious lies and insincerities in wake of Rosie O’Donnell‘s three-week early departure from the yentafest, while producers kept things rolling by placing Whoopi Goldberg, one of the few show biz personalities who rate as high as Rosie on the [...]

Ten years since the death of Princess Diana, hours after the Lindsay Lohan car crash and days before Paris Hilton is set to head off to jail, former pop star and reality TV participant Britney Spears has managed to wedge herself back into the headlines with a bizarre message to her fans that reads half [...]

Here’s something you don’t see very often or often enough: Miss USA tripped, clipped and fell flat on her sequined ass last night during The Miss Universe Pageant. Rachel Renee Smith fell off her high heels during the evening gown phase. She made a quick recovery from the internationally-televised humilation and the judges showed mercy. [...]

He was Paul Lynde without the venom, and out there in as many ways when his Claymore Gregg on The Ghost & Mrs. Muir was up against Lynde’s Uncle Arthur on Bewitched. From his wild, double entendre appearances on The Match Game and Hollywood Squares and The Tonight Show in the Seventies to his later [...]

We can’t get away from those fat girls! This morning there’s word that Fergie has been approached to be a judge on Project Runway. No, not that Fergie. The original Fergie. The one on the left. Sarah Ferguson. The Duchess of Pork. York. Prince Andrew’s randy 47-year-old ex-wife and former Weight Watchers poster girl with [...]

Rosie O’Donnell is off The View. With her contract up in June, Rosie had hinted that she felt like a high school senior and wanted an early out, but she sealed the deal Wednesday with a particularly nasty argument with her little emptyhead buddy Elisabeth Hasselbeck (Gilligan to Rosie’s Skipper) over the Iraq war (Rosie [...]

Now we didn’t expect Fox News to go after American Idol Jordin Sparks on the abortion issue– but her weight? We thought we had the market cornered on that front, but this clip from The Cavuto Report features a woman called MeMe Roth from a group called National Action Against Obesity, arguing that plus-size model [...]

The true American Idol, Sanjaya Malakar (though producers were pushing the offensiveness border in comparing him to Martin Luther King and Gandhi in Wednesday’s finale) returns to let us know he’s the real thing. His artsy communique earlier this week, claiming that “Sanjaya” was actually the creation of graduate student Bill Vendall, was all a [...]

Fox has apologized for extending the American Idol finale by nine minutes, causing many DVR users to miss the announcement of the winner (though producers had no problem forcing viewers to sit through the show’s Golden Idol Awards presentations to some of the season’s weirder hopefuls, including modern minstrel Margaret Fowler. Incredibly, though the move [...]

We love it. We hate it. We’ll miss it… Tonight, NBC begins burning off the last six episodes of its high-profile, big budget and cancelled Studio 60 On the Sunset Strip, the dull, dark and preachy Aaron Sorkin drama set behind the scenes of a live weekly comedy show. Allison Janney, a reminder of Sorkin’s [...]

Mary-Kate Olsen, AKA the “hot” Olsen Twin, is splitting up the act and going solo for the first time with a role in Showtime’s Weeds. Mary-Kate, who is 20 (as is Ashley), will portray a devout Christian named Tara in the grown-up series that stars another “Mary hyphenate,” Mary-Louise Parker, as a suburban mom who [...]

Jordin Sparks is the new American Idol. After a bloated two-hour show whose highlights included a performance by an 80-year-old man, a human beatbox duet, the indelible memory of Ruben Studdard singing “Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds,” and the lower half of Kelly Clarkson’s body, the questions this morning are whether Jordin, a 17-year-old [...]

Back in March, we made some headlines when we showed you evidence that American Idol contestant Sanjaya Malakar was emulating the hairstyles of legendary crackpot music producer and murder trial defendant Phil Spector. Now, amid word about who’s going to show on tonight’s Idol finale is the report that Sanjaya will reprise his crying-girl number, [...]

She was the favorite in this season’s Dancing with The Stars, but female boxer and daughter of The Champ Laila Ali pulled up a distant third in last night’s finale, leaving Jordin Sparks over at American Idol to carry the banner for the plus-size girls tonight. Laila is said to be headed for knee surgery [...]

We’d have to say our favorite moment in last night‘s American Idol was that audience shot of Academy Award-winning actress Marlee Matlin applauding enthusiastically. She’s deaf. So after a season dominated by charismatic characters like Antonella Barba and Sanjaya Malakar, “America” decides tonight between fashionplate Blake Lewis and controversial anti-abortion advocate and corporate sponsor favorite [...]

Fans of CBS’ recently-cancelled Jericho are trying to pull their favorite series back from the black hole by throwing nuts at the network. They got the idea because the closing line from Jake Green (Skeet Ulrich) in the final episode of the apocalyptic series was “Nuts“. Amid various viral campaigns, some fans began sending packets [...]

ABC has lined up a nice offbeat group of celebrities, including Krista Allen and Cloud 9 star Gabrielle Reece, for its race car reality series with a tongue-twisting title: Fast Cars & Superstars: Gillette Young Guns Celebrity Race gets the chequered flag on June 7 at 8 pm and races by in seven brief episodes. [...]

American Idol judge Paula Abdul, who does not do recreational drugs nor is on medication, fell and broke her nose over the weekend. “She tripped to avoid stepping on Tulip, one of her Chihuahuas,” her spokesperson lied– er, said– today. “She is fine. This will have no effect whatsoever on her appearance on American Idol [...]

Granted, she’s got nothing on Lane Garrison, but according to London’s Sun tabloid, oh-so-poor-little-rich-girl Paris Hilton is planning to write a jailhouse diary– a “blow-by-blow account of the after she serves her 23-day sentence for driving while banned” that she plans to turn into a book and turn her jail stint into a multi-million dollar [...]

Tvgasm faves Human Giant wrapped up the first season of their MTV sketch comedy series with a 24-hour Friday-Saturday telethon on MTV & MTV2. As the stunt portrayed it, the funsters would get a second season if they could raise a million hits on the MTV/Giant website. According to the network, somebody’s got sore fingers– [...]

As expected, Prison Break actor Lane Garrison pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter and other alcohol-related driving charges in a Beverly Hills courtroom this morning. Sentencing is set for August 2nd. He could be sent away to prison for real, for as long as six years and eight months. Let’s see Paris Hilton bellyache now.

Lane Garrison, the actor who plays “Tweener” on Fox’s Prison Break and became a star after he crashed his SUV, killing a 17-year-old Beverly Hills High School student who was among his unlikely passengers, is expected to plead guilty this morning to vehicular manslaughter. Which most likely means that he’ll soon have some time to [...]

The season finale of Heroes airs Monday night at 9 on NBC. In Episode 23, How to Stop An Exploding Man, Isaac’s predictions unfold and all our heroes face the pain and peril with, well– heroism. And after the show airs on the East Coast (sometime after 10 p.m., or 7 p.m. Pacific time– check [...]
