Newsgasm: Uhhhh... Um, Well Yeah, Uhhh... Edition

  • Apparently hell hath no fury like an aimless, mumbling blowhard, as Markus of this season's The Apprentice has been going on FOR DAYS about how the show's editing has made him look like an idiot. He already challenged Trump to a debate, which Trump mercifully declined. Reached for comment, Markus said, "Flame, flames... FLAMES... on the side of my face... breathing... breathless... heaving breaths... HEAVING—" [NY Daily News]
  • Jeff Probst is mulling whether to stay on as the host of Survivor, eager to move on to other opportunities but acknowledging that he'll "never have as good a job as Survivor." That's for sure, unless you're willing to show your sugar bun for Falcon Video. [AP]
  • Actor Page Kennedy, who played the mysterious man locked in Alfre Woodard's basement on Desperate Housewives this season, was just fired from the show for "improper conduct." Disappointingly, the misconduct did not involve another cast member. Happily, nobody cared about the basement-fugitive subplot anyway. [AP]
  • And congratulations are in order as Kirstie Alley officially is no longer a "fat actress." Great, maybe now she can DISAPPEAR FROM THE CULTURAL HORIZON. [AP]

RealityTV4Me:

He challenged Trump to a debate?! Th-th-th-that's all folks! FFFFFREAKIN'

Christy:

I thought Markus seemed like an idiot as well, but I couldn't help but wonder: if he was THAT much of a tool, how did he make it as a contender at all???

Lisa:

Nooo I hope Probst stays with Survivor. It wouldn't be the same without him.
They should let him say what's on his mind though! Stir crap up on the show with the contestants.
And is that nude pic of him real? Hard to believe he'd pose nude.. and the pic does look fake.. the way the head/neck sits on the body looks wrong.

Ashes:

Excellent use of the Clue quote.

Leah3t:

I agree. more clue, more clue!!

i am your singing telegram.....

Helenann:

Perhaps Kirstie should get Tom's new publicist...

Fuzzbait:

'cuz everyone knows debating Trump is a ZERO DOLLAR INDUSTRY!!!

Retroqueen:

Your title should read:

TVGASM: BIG DICK EDITION

It covers all 4 stories perfectly

Coconutphone:

Genius use of the "Clue" quote. Like I wasn't a fan enough of this site, you just stole my heart for all eternity with that quote :) Oh, and Markus is a tool.

Coconutphone:

The nude pic of Probst is a fake. It's the same shot torso up from an EW article a ways back where he was wearing boxers. The bottom part is photochoped and then superimposed over a fake background.

Ashes:

Perhaps someday Markus will make babbling incoherently, pointlessly, and endlessly into a FORTY BILLION DOLLAR A YEAR INDUSTRY. Until then, he's just a tool.

Mike:

They could always rename Kirstie's show "Effing Annoying Actress."

Starlight:

And you know about Falcon video how?

m_ruv:

OMG STARLIGHT ARE YOU IMPLYING THERE ARE GAYS ON THE STAFF OF THIS SITE?!?!??!

EWWWWWWWWW

boondocksaint:

AWESOME Clue quote!! I had serious deja vu when I read that.

g-dawg:

I hear that GWBush offered Markus a job as his head speechwriter.
