  • At the Monte Carlo TV Festival, Botox enthusiast Ellen Pompeo allegedly refused to do any interviews with her fellow cast members. We’re not sure what caused the friction, but we’re thinking there may have been a violation of The Pomp’s stringent “YOU DON’T GET TO CALL ME A WHORE” policy. [Page Six]
  • Speaking of junket antics, Brandon Routh apparently had a tantrum at a London press tour when he felt his makeup “made him look pale, artificial, and ‘a bit wimpy.’” He then realized that he was simply watching Superman Returns. [Daily Mail]
  • Unsealed documents from the Neverland Ranch have revealed a note from Macaulay Culkin to Michael Jackson in which he wrote, “To Apple Head. Always remember keep Apple Head Club Doo Doo Head Alive.” According to the Page Six, “Jackson and his special young male pals were ‘Doo Doo Heads’ and their secret society ‘the Apple Club.’” Funny, I always thought it should be Poopy Faces and the Fraternal Order of Elderberries. [Page Six]
  • It’s official. The New York Times has officially caught on to the Pants-Off Dance-Off craze. Might we now see Frank Rich and Maureen Dowd shedding their clothes to an old Sheena Easton video? [New York Times]
  • According to guests of the show, all remnants of Star Jones have been removed from The View. Not even the group pictures on the walls remain — just a bunch of “sad little nails.” Those nails’ names: Barbara, Joy, and Elizabeth. [New York Daily News]
  • Bloody hell! Some DONKEY burned Gordon Ramsay in the eye. F*@KING C@#T!!! [Daily Mail]

    B-Side, I’m sure the stock-flinger would say, “It’s ‘Dr. Plank’ to you.”

    Speaking of Pants-Off Dance-Off, did I hear right that the recovering meth-addict Jody Sweeten will be the new host? I can’t decide if this is a good or bad move for her.

    This may be my favorite newsgasm ever. What could possibly have possessed The Pomp (as she has been christened) to pose with a skeleton?! It’s so fabulously high on the unintentional comedy scale. (Sweetie, might be time to fire your publicist.)

    Routh did appear to be wearing make-up in his scenes as Superman, did it not?

    Poopy Faces and the Fraternal Order of Elderberries

    Shouldn’t it be “Poopy Feces and the Fraternal Order of Elderberries”?

    I, too, was confused as to who was who in the skeletor picture. Star of the show?? I thought that Grey’s Anatomy was an ensemble. I’d say Ellen was getting too big for her pants, but we all know that is not possible. Star of the show??yeah right. Maybe her character should have an accident next season. The show could do without her and her crappy voice overs.

    Ugh frankly I don’t see Routh’s problem. Better to look a little pale than fake-baked like Kate Bosworth in that photo.

    I wonder how the red states feel about the fact that superman is gay…

    Just want to add: it’s even funnier when you picture The Pomp doing all that screaming in the horrendous Northeast fisherman’s accent that she struggles to cover up on the show…
