  • 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: all those academy members who said they loved “the whole alien scene with the guy and stuff.” [Hartford Courant]
  • Paris Hilton’s bizarre kinkajou beast pet has finally caved to peer pressure and bit its owner. Paris was rushed to the hospital after “Baby Luv” unleashed its fangs of fury, and while the good news is that the socialite singer is fine, the bad news is that Baby Luv now has the first reported case of the kinkajou clap. [Defamer]
  • Like OMG! Laguna Beach starts in less than a week! Meet the new star, Tessa! [USA Today]
  • Finally, somebody takes a stand. Esquire has labeled wee Sean Preston Federline the “Worst Dressed Man In The World.” Suck it, MARTIN LANDAU! [NY Post]
  • In new Victoria’s Secret ads, Heidi Klum has been referring to herself as “The Body.” One problem: Elle Macpherson is The Body. This should be resolved in a mud pit. Jello would be acceptable too. [NY Daily News]
  • My favorite New York Times writer, Virginia Heffernan, gets stuck on the GSN beat, and she’s not afraid to show her dissatisfaction. There’s something absolutely wonderful about a passive-aggressive game show review. [New York Times]

    I fail to see how Paris Hilton being “fine” is the good news. Please elaborate.

    Wow, what if she got rabies? Picture it for a moment. It’s very disturbing.

    Paris Hilton is a big steamy pile of shit. And I’m just waiting to hear Zoobabes rant about keeping a Kinkajou in captivity. Because you KNOW our favorite zookeeper will have something to say about that.

    yeah d- good call. Score one point for the kinkajou! Too bad he didn’t bite her in the face, she would have had her firsy “baby’ luv bite.

    Keeping an exotic animal as a pet means (eventually) getting bitten by an exotic animal. it’s never good, especially when you keep dragging them out for photo ops.

    It brings to mind the “chimped’ discussion on last week’s Project Runway liveblog , about a man castrated by chimps.
