Richard Lawson · 02/10/10 01:23PM

Finally we're in Hollywood. Finally we have Ellen! Dear old Hollywood. Friendly old Ellen. Two good things. We should be happy, right? And yet... Mostly we're just so sad. Hollywood Week is just terribly, terribly cruel, isn't it?

Soon We Will All Be Hypersexuals

Hamilton Nolan · 02/10/10 01:13PM

Among the possible additions to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the bible of psychiatry: "hypersexuality," meaning being way horny. The NYT predicts it has "a high likelihood of entering the pop vernacular." Oh, "entering," EHH? Fingers crossed!

Georgina Chapman is one-half of the duo behind the fashion label Marchesa. She's also married to movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, but it's not as if he had anything to do with the fashion house's success over the past few years. He didn't.

Scary Bear Walks on Two Legs

Frank Cozzarelli · 02/10/10 01:00PM

This clip is like the Berenstain Bears recreated into a WTF nightmare. The notion of a bipedal bear sounds cute until you actually see one, and then you realize it's about 600 pounds and taller than Charles Barkley...and probably hungry!

Mike Byhoff · 02/10/10 12:36PM

It's finally Hollywood week! No more dancing midget ninja mimes that warble out notes in a desperate grab for fame. Now it's actually a talent competition instead of a circus sideshow. And some stood out more than others. And Ellen!

On TruTV's Las Vegas Jailhouse, plenty of women are brought in for soliciting sex. Here, a cop assures a prostitute that she is "not judging" before promptly going on a condescension spree that would put Tyra Banks to shame.

Richard Lawson · 02/10/10 11:47AM

This week our big head-pounding moment dredged up an old mystery from the past. Remember when Rousseau used to talk about that disease that forced her to kill all her friends? Well, I think we're getting a diagnosis.
