Who knows why "My Jeans" didn't gain as much success as "Friday" but what we are learning is that there are many more of these terrible songs out there. So. which is easier to listen to?
In your interactive Tuesday media column: anywhere is better than "South by," the NYT vs HuffPo feud continues, the Tribune bankruptcy is predictably troublesome, Carl Paladino hates the press, and your mandatory Katie Couric rumor of the day.
On Regis and Kelly, Jason Bateman outed himself as a "belieber" after having seen Never Say Never with his daughter. While Kelly similarly had an emotional experience with the film, Regis chides, "You're Jason Bateman, man, pull yourself together!"
Disney's latest animated movie (well, distributed by Disney, produced by Robert Zemeckis's now-defunct ImageMovers Digital) Mars Needs Moms opened this past weekend with receipts of around $6 million. Considering the movie cost between $150 and $175 million to make and release, this is a bomb on the scale of Cutthroat Island. Which is to say, it's a big, big bomb. So is this just some random fluke, or does it say something about a bigger trend? Some folks are saying it does.
Last night's Skins was centered on Tina, River Mountain High School's resident sociology teacher. Unlike the other adults that surround the teenagers, Tina isn't a total L7. She talks with the kids about dating, doesn't freak out when they do drugs and even has sex with one of them. In sum, she's a great teacher, responsible person and there's hardly anything bad that we can say about her.
It's finally over! Brad Womack's second chance at love has come and gone—and ended in quite a complicated fashion! He proposes to Emily—who accepts—but we discover in the After the Rose special that things aren't exactly peachy now.
Peaches Geldof—the oft-nude British celebutante who shall henceforth be known as Poor Man's Lohan—was questioned by police last night over the alleged theft of a dress from a Camden Town store called Three Amigos. Apparently there was a "misunderstanding" over a "skater-style" dress she had not paid for. This is the fifth "misunderstanding" Peaches has had about clothing she did not pay for in the last five years.
On this morning's Access Hollywood Live, Tyra responded to Kit Hoover's compliment about her outfit by sharing her struggle: "Where do you put them when you have boobs? Over the boob or on the side of the boob?"
Running easily purchased American guns to Mexican gangs is all the rage these days in the Great American Southwest, so you know it couldn't be long until a border town's mayor, sheriff, and city council got in on the fun.
Chatroulette is known for its pervs but there are the occasional dorks with guitars trying to serenade some pretty girl. This is probably fake but Chatroulette could use this to convince everyone else that it isn't just filled with creeps.
Bella Thorne and Zendaya from the Disney's Channels new dance-inspired TV show Shake It Up, stopped by Good Day New York to finish each others sentences and prove they are closer than best friends (and more like sisters.)
The good news, which is not really "good" news much at all, is that Japan's Fukushima nuclear reactors didn't all fully melt down in the last 12 hours. That may sound cynical, but if you were following the fast developments in last night's news, a total nuclear catastrophe really did seem imminent. It's still unclear, though, how much radiation is leaking into the air, and another mid-size (6.1 magnitude) earthquake did strike southwest of Tokyo overnight. Meanwhile, U.S. Treasuries are soaring! Here's the latest news.
Before starring as sexy Dr. Sam Bennett on Private Practice, Taye Diggs lit up the stage on Broadway. Now, he's attempting to pass on his musical gifts to his baby son, singing to him constantly, even during diaper duty!
In addition to that titillating bit of action, this clip will also catch you up on recent events in the House/Cuddy relationship, as Wilson scolds House for checking into an expensive hotel for an extended binge of winning debauchery.
What hath Charlie Sheen wrought?
Just when you thought he was too busy to deal with anything else, especially something with annoying culture-war implications, Barack Obama went and published an op-ed in this past Sunday's Arizona Daily Star to start a conversation on gun reforms. That does not mean, as he anxiously rushed to note in his column, that he wants to take everyone's guns and repeal the Second Amendment. He just wants "commonsense" reforms, of some sort. Unfortunately, this political process starts by reaching out to the NRA, and guess what? The NRA does not give a fuck about Barack Obama.
