America’s Got Talent Results: Who’s In?
10 months ago
The votes were in. The eliminations were announced. The tension was palpable on America’s Got Talent last night.
Read on for a rundown of who advanced and who is going home…
Elimination 1 – MusicWhen Nick Cannon called the first three acts, it was clear who was safe. In comparison to the other two, Shanice & Maurice were the only ones that the judges even gave positive feedback to with their live performance. Harkening back to how good one was in Vegas won’t help a public that may have only tuned in this week.
The obvious point is that all these acts can’t have an off week like American

1 year ago
Lindsay Lohan hosted Saturday Night Live last night, and … meh.
We wouldn’t say she bombed last by any means, but we expected better. Maybe all the hype and expectations were just too much, or the show itself just isn’t that good.
In any case, it left something to be desired from start to finish.
Lindsay Lohan Saturday Night Live Opening Monologue
Several late changes – such as ditching a singing monologue in favor of one with cameos from Jimmy Fallon and Jon Hamm (above) – may not have helped matters.
Some critics and fans are calling it an epic fail (EW asks in its headline if she was

1 year ago
Hillary Clinton was posing for photos with Hong Kong Chief Executive Donald Tsang after their recent meeting in Honolulu when someone decided to crash that party.
The Secretary of State must have caught it out of the corner of her eye, because a second or two after the fact, she realized what happened and seriously cracked up.
A random, scantily-clad Hawaiian dude running around with a flaming torch while you’re trying to pose with a dignitary will have that effect. Pretty funny stuff:

1 year ago
Presidential hopeful Herman Cain, already facing allegations of sexual harassment from four women, was caught joking about Anita Hill during a campaign stop this week.
A college professor, Hill infamously became the poster woman for such claims when she made them 20 years ago about Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas.
A Fox News camera caught Cain laughing about Hill during a campaign visit to Kalamazoo, Mich., Thursday, when a supporter brought up the professor’s name.
“You hear the latest news today? Anita Hill is going to come …” a man told Cain. “Is she going to endorse me?” Cain

1 year ago
Yesterday well-respected thespian Gerard Depardieu got a little bit too tipsy on an Air France flight and ended up peeing the aisle in front of passengers. And thus turning the day into a fun-filled day of jokes at the expense of the French actor. CNN and anchor Anderson Cooper were no exception.
In his usual segment Ridiculist, Cooper featured Academy Award nominee Depardieu’s unfortunate incident and prepared a short monologue filled with oh-so-childish puns.
He kicked with this good one: “[Depardieu] created his own jet stream or as the French say ‘Wee Wee’” Good one! Watch the other

While authorities continue to investigate his suspected involvement in the vanishing of his travel partner, authorities will not release Giordano.

The active search was called off for the missing Maryland woman, suggesting that officials believe she may not be recovered by rescue efforts.

1 year ago
Alleged comedian Adam Carolla, who is apparently still around, is under fire over a slew of anti-gay comments made on his Adam Carolla Show podcast.
Among other things, in an attempt to be funny, he also told LGBT people to “shut up” because they are “ruining his life” by speaking out about equality.
He went on to say that members of the LGBT community should stop using the letters “LGBT” to describe themselves, and should instead use “YUCK.”
Regarding transgendered people, Carolla asked: ‘When did we start giving a sh!t about these people?’” He then singled out Chaz Bono in

Tracy Morgan may be encouraged to say outrageous things on 30 Rock, but the actor’s real-life rant in Nashville last week has landed him in trouble with multiple gay rights groups.

In the first, the President of GLADD writes: “We call on him to remove these violently anti-gay remarks from his show and send a

Jesse James is done worrying about Sandra Bullock.
It’s nothing personal, he says, just essential that he move on. “I can’t worry about her anymore,” the Monster Garage star told Good Morning America.
“I think I’ve spent a good chunk of the last 5-6 years worrying only about her, and what she thinks, and what I should do … controlling all my movements and everything else. I think it’s time to worry about Jesse, and making sure Jesse’s happy.”
Umm, wasn’t that what he did with Michelle McGee?
Jesse James attempts to appear sympathetic.
