  • Feel like mourning over fictional characters instead? Six Feet Under is always a good place to start. [New York Times]
  • More bad news: Sagewalk doesn’t work! “Angry Punk” Isaiah spraypaints racial slurs on some kid’s house. Looks like it’s time for that other Brat Camp, a.k.a. JAIL. [AP]
  • Dane Cook is finally getting his own TV show. The Sony Pictures Television pilot has been named Cooked, just barely edging out my suggestions, “The Great Dane”, “Too Many Cooks in the Comedy” and “Cookie”. [Hollywood Reporter via Yahoo]

    Oh Isaiah. I see your Freedom party got a little out of hand. But thena gain, who hasnt had punch and then had the urge to scrawl racial epithets on a wall? I dare anyone to have a nice cold glass of “Bodacious Berry” and NOT scrawl something on the side of a church.

    I can’t wait to see how they have edited the remaining episodes regarding him. They probably made it look like he really grew from the experience. Oh this’ll be good.

    “Her publicist released a statement Friday (Aug. 5) saying Abdul simply doesn’t have enough time, between work on an ˜Idol’ DVD and preparing for the show’s next season to do the new show as well.”

    Shes too busy “prepping” for next season. You think you can just start kissing peoples asses cold turkey? her kinda crazy takes time to craft.

    MORE BAD NEWS:

    CBGBs, the birthplace of New York punk rock, is in danger of being shut down.

    While you all are voting to bring Kaysar back, please also take a moment to go to http://www.savecbgb.org and sign the petition to save this landmark of American pop culture… before it’s too late.
