Famous People Are Just More Interesting

Is Dane Cook a Punching Bag? September 15, 2008

Filed under: Dane Cook — Alexandra @ 7:39 pm

The people over at MSNBC.com have a rather interesting article up about comedian/actor Dane Cook.

It’s certainly a must read.

I’ve seen Dane live – he’s alright. He makes me laugh. But I’d much rather see what he’s like in the sack – if. . you know what I mean.

Check out the article HERE. And tell me what you think. Agree? Disagree? Could give a shit. Appease me.

 

This is Kind of Sad…

Filed under: TV News — Alexandra @ 7:32 pm

Total Request Live is ending its run on MTV after 10 years.

Tear.

Dave Sirulnick, who is the executive producer of “TRL,” said today that Monday the music video countdown show will conclude in a two-hour special on a Saturday afternoon in November. However, he said that the show wasn’t ending for good, but that it’s time for a bit of a break.

TRL debuted back in 1998 – an era where the Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears dominated the music videos and radio. And I remember the good ol’ days when the show was first called Total Request and it wasn’t live, and Carson Daly was the host.

Man – I’d go back in a second!

 

Drama in the 90210!

Looks like there’s a new Brenda Walsh in town!

Degrassi star and newcomer to the world’s most famous zip code, Shenae Grimes, is apparently not the greatest person to work with.

Shenae, who plays Annie Wilson, has reportedly been “tormenting everyone on set.” And that includes the cast, crew, extras, etc. The reason? “This is my show – everyone else is riding my coattails.”

Dumbass alert!

No one knows who the hell you are sweetie (except maybe me because I’m addicted to The N network at home.) But regardless, you shouldn’t bite the hand that feeds you.

And on top of that, the ratings for 90210 dropped significantly the second week. Are you sure you want to call it “your show?”

 

Jennifer Hudson Engaged!

Yup, Jennifer Hudson (that chick who got voted off America Idol, but won an Oscar) is engaged to David Otunga.

WhoTF is David, you ask?

Maybe the name Punk will ring a bell. He was a contestant on I Love New York 2, that trashy ass show with the even trashier Tiffany “New York” Pollard that I can’t seem to get enough of.

The couple have been dating less than a year, and before him, Jennifer broke up with her hometown love of like. . a million years.

I wonder how he feels, knowing that his Academy Award winning ex is now engaged to a dude kicked off I Love New York 2. Ha.

Eh – to his defense, I think he was the smartest guy on that show. He’s the one who went to Harvard, right?

 

Shia Opens Up…

Filed under: Shia LaBeouf — Alexandra @ 6:05 pm

Shia LaBeouf is still recovering from the car accident that nearly cost him his hand.

“The car hit me at 70 m.p.h.,” he tells Entertainment Tonight. “It was one of the biggest things that’s happened to me, for sure, in my life. I’m grateful to be here.”

Well, we’re happy too, but Shia also said that he’s expecting another surgery soon. “I’m working right now. We propped [my hand] together so I could get through Transformers and then I’ll go have another surgery and be back to 100 percent.”

At the time of the accident, Shia was cited for misdemeanor DUI. Sgt. Scott Wolf told People, “He was showing obvious signs of intoxication from the smell of alcohol coming from his breath.” Although he has yet to be formally charged with the crime, new evidence arose on behalf of the actor; he may not have been at fault because the other driver was found to have run a red light.

Lucky break, my friend.
