Newsgasm: Oprah Passes The Snub Forward

bigoprah

  • Oh no she di'int! Oprah is furious that people are accusing her of snubbing Ebony founder John H. Johnson's funeral. It wasn't a snub. She was in Hawaii, dammit! In other news, John H. Johnson was buried in an Hermès coffin. [AP]

  • Following in the footsteps of Jean Smart, Sean Astin joins the cast of 24. So we have a hobbit and a Designing Woman fighting terrorists. Best season ever? [E! Online via Yahoo]

  • Hurricane Katrina (what a sexy bitch) crashes the VMAs, effectively shutting down all sorts of MTV parties and promotional events. Can't wait for the next ten years of VMA specials featuring producers acting as if they survived WWII. [Hollywood Reporter]

  • UPN launches a huge marketing campaign for Everybody Hates Chris, the new critically-acclaimed Chris Rock comedy. And when's it airing? Thursdays at 8 PM. Great. Because I'm not already watching three different shows then. [Variety]

  • An Oklahoma news anchor sues her ex-husband Bryan Abrams of 1990s supergroup Color Me Badd (yeah, the double D makes you really, really bad). This is going to be embarrassing for everyone involved. [AP]

  • The Martha Stewart publicity blitz continues. The New York Times checks out her groovy ankle bracelet. [New York Times]

dumbanddumber:

That Oprah bit is great. "Look, I have a note! I'll show it to you! I didn't snub him!" As if she couldn't charter a jet to get her big ass out of Hawaaii...

tv freak:

dumbanddumber (Bet you can't guess which number that is), How the heck are you Ivette and Beau. lm(u know what)o

jash:

hey beau, why are you attacking dumbanddumber?

tv freak:

I'm just joking, sorry. In the BB recap, someone said that Ivette and Beau were like the real life dumb and dumber. I'm sorry if I offended either of you. I didn't do it on purpose. I thought everyone would think it was funny.

dumbanddumber:

Huh??? That was an attack?

Aj:

Why do networks/cable put all the "good" shows on at the same time?

Damn them...

tv freak:

It wasn't supposed to be an attack. He wasn't even offended.
