AdAge says TV viewership has not bounced back after the writers’ strike. Variety reports that the major networks are bringing shows in from overseas in an attempt to save production dollars. In this midst of this dire TV environment, the Los Angeles Times says that the CW will stop offering free Internet streams of new … more…
“It’s ok to think Doctor Who is gay, says David Tennant,” blares a headline at TimesOnline. Which is hilarious… doubly so because it turns out the article is about David Tennant saying it’s okay if you think he, the actor — and not the character of the Doctor — is gay. He isn’t — gay, … more…
Ah, I see that the creative collapse of Hollywood continues with yet another ripoff from TV: we’re getting a Magnum P.I. movie, and it’s going to star Matthew McConaughey. Ugh. Worse, it’s coming from Rawson Thurber, the writer-director of Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story. Have these guys even seen the classic 80s TV show? Who … more…
I’m off to Paris tonight! It’s almost hard to believe I’ve never been there before: it feels like I know the city already because I’ve seen it so often on film. Now, as a New Yorker who has encountered people who think they know New York because they’ve seen it on TV and in the … more…

Well, the shit is hitting the fan with my review of Horton Hears a Who! — I knew it would. Of course, many people will say that my review is the shit… and I don’t mean that in the slang sense that means “the best.” What was I supposed to do, not say what I … more…
It’s almost St. Patrick’s Day, which can mean parades and soda bread and green beer, or it could mean a little DVD festival of great little movies you’ve never seen — or have forgotten about — starring eight of today’s biggest stars who hail from the Emerald Isle. Such as these: 1. Colin Farrell: Hart’s … more…
Poor Dawn Wells, better known as Gilligan’s Island’s Mary Ann: she’s enduring the public shame that comes when celebrities behave badly and it ends up in the newspapers and the blogs. What dreadful crime did she commit? Possession of marijuana. On her birthday (no kidding!). But don’t worry: the judge threw the book at her. … more…
George Clooney is NOT engaged to be married, okay? And he’s not “gay, gay, gay,” he’s only “gay, gay.” What is it with these people — these swooning fangirls, these sweaty guys who live in their mothers’ basements, these vicious gossipmongers — who insist on spreading such mean-spirited lies? Just FYI, all these things are … more…
