A couple of minutes ago I was scanning ESPN.com when I noticed the article “What fans hate the most” by ESPN ombudsman Don Ohlmeyer, otherwise known as the man who fired Norm MacDonald from Saturday Night Live.
As pathetic as it is, I remember Norm’s firing like it was yesterday. January 7th, 1998. I was 17-years-old, and not surprisingly to all who read this blog, still a good six or seven months away from losing my virginity, thereby freeing me up to watch Norm on Letterman.

Just because Jessica Simpson no longer works out it doesn’t mean she can’t work the talk show circuit. After appearing on Oprah last week, Simpson was on Letterman Wednesday to promote her new reality show “The Price of Beauty.”
A lot has happened to young Jessica since we’ve last seen her. Last year, she was subject to all kinds of tabloid scrutiny when she packed on a few pounds and showed up to a concert in “mom jeans.” Then, in a February interview with Playboy, former boyfriend John Mayer infamously compared her to “sexual napalm.”

Only two days after releasing the nominations for the 82nd Annual Academy Awards, the Oscar committee has gone ahead and decided to change them. In a historical move that’s without precedent the Academy has removed Colin Firth (A Single Man) from the Best Actor category and replaced him with John Travolta. Travolta’s film From Paris with Love was also added to the Best Picture category, while the independent British film An Education was bounced from the list of ten films.
“While From Paris with Love hasn’t even been released yet, we at the Academy have decided to forego the typical Dec. 31 submission deadline,” said Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences President Tom Sherak. After already bastardizing the awards by upping the Best Picture noms to ten, we didn’t see a problem with making an exception for John.”
When asked if he’d even watched the film yet, Sherak replied, “No, but we’ve all seen John’s shaved head in the trailer. It’s clearly one of the year’s best.”

Jersey Shore is pretty much like everything else on MTV. Hell, it’s why we watch MTV. Pack a house with young, dumb, sexy strangers, stock the bar with enough alcohol to kill John Daly, then mix and serve.
Dancing, drinking, fighting, fucking. What’s the problem here? We’ve seen it all before and we like it. It’s a fantastic formula.
Unfortunately, it’s also racist, or so says Italian-American interest group Unico National. They say a reality show that depicts Italian-Americans as the “hottest, tannest, craziest Guidos” is offensive and should’ve been scrapped before it aired.
