Donny Osmond won last night’s Dancing with the Stars finale beating out his fellow star finalists, Kelly Osbourne and Mya.
Unfortunately, I know who Kelly Osbourne is, but I have no clue who Mya is.
I started watching Dancing with the Stars the last few weeks and I’ve got to admit, it was worth watching. I was impressed just how serious the contestants took the competition. They really poured themselves into it. I know squat about ballroom dancing, but I know what it looks like when people take something serious and work hard towards a goal.
Jon Gosselin has filed a $5 million lawsuit against TLC claiming that the network dedicated to learning damaged his reputation and career by preventing him from working with other media outlets. He also claims in his lawsuit that TLC owes him $175,000 for Jon and Kate Plus Eight episodes that have already been aired. In accordance with a contract he and his soon to be ex-wife signed in 2008, he gets $22,500 for each half-hour episode and $45,000 for each one-hour episode.
I’m not sure he even has to be in the episode to get the money. TLC probably didn’t foresee a future where Jon and Kate would be separated and no longer appearing together on the show.
Jon Gosselin filed the lawsuit here in Maryland at the District Court in Rockville, where Discovery Communications, TLC’s parent company, is headquartered.
Since Jon Gosselin is under contract with TLC, it’s a shame that they cannot simply reassign him to another show on the network. I’m sure I’m not the only one that would get a real kick out of seeing Jon work as a deckhand on The Deadliest Catch. After spending 48 hours on his feet pulling up crab pots in below freezing temperatures on the Bering Sea, he might just decide that being married to Kate isn’t so bad after all.
Carrie Prejean, the former surgically altered, gay hating, Miss California USA, first claimed she was being shut out by the liberal media. Then while being interviewed by Larry King on CNN, which I’ve been told is an extremely liberal news network, she got angry over one King’s questions saying that it was “inappropriate.”
She got so angry that she removed her microphone. She then pretended that since she did not have her microphone on, she could not hear Larry King when he tried to ask her another question. I’m not sure that’s how it works. Microphones don’t allow you to hear, they allow you to be heard.
The two are much different.
If you are thinking that the inappropriate question posed by Larry King had to do with a solo sex video Carrie Prejean sent to a former boyfriend, you would be wrong. It was about the recent lawsuit she filed against the Miss California pageant for firing her. Larry asked why she agreed to drop the lawsuit since she claimed she was fighting for her religious freedom.
Personally, I was looking forward to the lawsuit. It’s not often you see a woman with a $5,000 boob job and her very own solo porn movie claim that her religious freedoms were being trampled upon. It’s sounded interesting to say the least.
Kate Gosselin says that her soon-to-be ex-husband Jon Gosselin withdrew more than $200,000 from the couple’s joint bank account last week without her knowledge, leaving her with only a mere $1,000. She told NBC that she now has a stack of bills that need to be paid and she has no way of paying them.
Isn’t this just what people do when they go through a divorce? One spouse drains the bank account before the other spouse thinks of doing themselves?
Evidently a judge issued an order a while back stating that neither Gosselin could take money out without first getting it approved by the court, but what does something like that mean to Jon Gosselin? He’s a rebel. He wears Ed Hardy shirts adorned with tigers and dragons. He smokes cigarettes and rides ATVs. He dates teenage whores and wears studs in both earlobes.
Rules and judges are for squares, and Jon Gosselin ain’t no square.
He’s also out of a job. Not that he really had a job, but it was announced last week the TLC is dropping his name from the show. Instead of Jon & Kate Plus 8, the show will now be called Kate Plus 8.
CBS Late Show host David Letterman announced on last night’s show that he has had sexual relationships with female employees and that because of these affairs, he was the target of an extortion attempt. Letterman said he worked with the Manhattan district attorney’s office concerning the extortion attempt. It all came to a head only yesterday when Letterman issued a fake $2 million check to the individual attempting to extort him and the person was immediately arrested.
The Associated Press is reporting that the person attempting to extort Letterman is Robert J. Halderman, a producer for the CBS television investigative news show 48 Hours. CBS has announced that Halderman has been suspended, pending the criminal case.
As far as sexual affairs go, sleeping around with your own employees is especially creepy. It’s hard to tell just how much Letterman’s position of power played into the minds of his sexual partners. Did any of them feel undue pressure to have sex with him? Did any of them worry about getting fired if they didn’t have sex with Letterman?
How long before this story becomes an episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent?
The train wreak of a TV show that is known as Jon & Kate Plus 8 has changed it’s name to just Kate Plus 8. Who didn’t see this coming? I figured the show was getting a name change as soon as Jon Gosselin left his wife Kate and started running around acting like a weirdo with girls practicably just out of high school.
Entertainers have to know their audience. They have to know what their audience expects of them and do their best to match those expectations. That means if you are an evangelical preacher, you can’t get caught buying methamphetamine from a gay prostitute like that self-hater Ted Haggard did. His audience, people that attended his church, would not put up with stuff that. He should have known that. Jon Gosselin’s audience consisted of married women in their 30’s and 40’s. He should have thought of them before he started running around wearing those crappy looking Ed Hardy clothes. His audience probably didn’t appreciate it much when he started publicly catting around with the 22-year old daughter of his wife’s plastic surgeon.
Hopefully Kate Gosselin will hit him up for a bazillion dollars a month in child support. How much do men have to pay for eight kids? Normally the only men that have to pay child support for that many kids play in the NFL.
Kids today need no further proof that smoking is bad than to see this photo of Jon Gosselin sitting on top a ATV with a real life cancer stick dangling out of his mouth. See kids, smoking is so stupid, the Hawaiian looking guy on that reality show with all the kids does it. Smoking ain’t cool, Jon Gosselin does it.
It’s a powerful anti-smoking message to send to our nation’s youth, or to anyone else that doesn’t want to look like a tard. Like Jon Gosselin.
I’ve always wondered what the constant limping did to the actor’s knees and/or hip. I know from personal experience that when an injury causes you to limp or walk differently, it often causes pain or even an actual secondary injury somewhere else.
Would Hugh Laurie actually quit the show because of it? I’ve got to think that the part of Doctor Gregory House has got to be a dream job for an actor like Laurie, knee pain or not. Perhaps the Daily Mail got that part wrong. It wouldn’t be the only thing they got wrong in the article. For instance:
As Dr House, he walks with a limp in his right leg – the result of a gunshot wound.
Ah, no, that’s not what caused the limp. House experienced a muscle infarction in his right thigh. Be the time it was properly diagnosed, the muscle surrounding the infarction was dead and had to be cut out. He’s got a huge chunk of this thigh missing.
If it was me, I’d just get the entire leg amputated. The only thing worse than not being able to walk normally is to be in constant pain.
Kal Penn, the actor that plays Dr. Kutner on House, is leaving the show so that he can go work in the Obama White House. Instead of writing him off the show by having House get made at him and firing him, they had the character unexpectedly take his own life. He shot himself in the head.
To say that I didn’t see this coming is a huge understatement. Out of all the characters on House, Kutner was probably the most normal and least screwed up character on the show. In other words, he was probably the least likely one to eat his own gun.
And that’s precisely why House is such a good show.
Kutner’s suicide left his fellow doctors disorientatied and confused. None of them saw any signs of depression or deep saddness coming from Kutner that might make one turn to suicide, and it’s something the viewer could relate to. By the end of the episode, I too felt like I had actually lost someone I knew. I had to remind myself that Kutner was only as fictitous character on a TV show and that none of it was real.
