Hard on the stiletto heels of being pink-slipped as Miss California, it seems Carrie Prejean just can’t catch a break. She’s now lost her job as a spokesman for Sledge. The clothing firm, whose upcoming brand is a long-standing favorite of celebs like Beyonce, have confirmed Carrie’s been dropped as the [...] From ABC News, seven minutes ago: “There will be no more second chances for former Miss California, Carrie Prejean. The Miss USA runner-up has officially been fired – this time with the blessing of pageant owner Donald Trump.” All togther now: Yeeessssssss! …And about *$&!!##@% time ! [...] Those of you so blessed as to live among the resplendent glories of New York will know that two dedicated Geeks have just emerged after 123 hours in a plexi-glass bubble in Times Square, watching non-stop movies to win the “Netflix Popcorn Bowl Challenge.” Five days, fifty-seven movies, only ten minute breaks for [...] This is truly a sad day. As I reported recently, GM has abandoned plans to be part of the Oscars next year. Today, AdAge has the news that the Korean car maker, Hyundai, has taken all of their spots.

And the creatively vacant people at Lifetime are about [...] Last night, this country was subjected to one of the most boring, incompetent, ego-saturated intellectual vacuums in the history of this or any other sentient race. When you’re sixty you’re expected to be a little slow and forgetful. After fifty-nine years of unfettered practice, aided by the cream of this glorious nation’s performing community, the [...] In what may be their dumbest, most dangerous and calculated attempt to boost their ratings to the dizzying heights of double figures, MTV is now casting a new “Reality” show where impressionable teens will be required to suffer borderline-anorexia in order to win fame on the Runway. “MTV is looking for girls willing to shed [...] General Motors announced yesterday that it’s dropping the Oscar and Emmy ad campaigns that have been a fixture of those ceremonies for over ten years. Personally, I couldn’t be happier. The Oscars are a glittering celebration of a uniquely American industry that brings enjoyment and fun to every being on Earth, supports thousands of American [...] Just in case you were under the quite understandable impression that “Reality” shows couldn’t get any dumber or their creators more desperate, our friends at The Food Network would like to prove you wrong. The formerly respectable channel has decided it’s time to gorge on a slice of the lucrative ‘Reality’ pie and are currently [...] Enjoy your Thursday, folks – For those of us who find sports less than irresistibly transfixing, this is the last day of freedom we’ll see for two weeks. NBC’s coverage of the Olympics begins tomorrow and will continue at levels akin to saturation-bombing until we’re finally free of the whole gargantuan yawn-fest on August 24th. [...] |
