Carrie Prejean: From Beauty Queen to Drama Queen


Oh, —why do I love to hate you so much?

1. Maybe it’s because you still think people care about your gay marriage stance?
Honey, you’re just a liar. Period. (The wind blew my top open? Really?)
2. Maybe it’s because you think this is all Perez Hilton’s fault?
You’re just mad the controversy exposed a porn tape you never thought would surface.
3. Maybe it’s because you tried suing the pageant officials?
Uhh - do you even remember signing that morals clause?
4. Maybe it’s because you don’t know why the media won’t let up?
That’s because you won’t stop talking about it!

But enough about my feelings about you…let’s move on to your talents.

Balloon Boy Story was Full of Hot Air, Charges Coming

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Reality, News, Video,

What may have started years ago in a Hollywood has come crashing to the ground in Colorado.

In a press conference earlier today, Sheriff Jim Alderden of Larimer County has confirmed that the balloon event from Thursday was indeed a hoax. “We have evidence at this point to indicate that it was a publicity stunt, done with the hopes of marketing themselves - or better marketing themselves - for a reality television show at some point in the future.”

This statement comes just two days after the police (intentionally) led the media into believing that they had bought the Heene family’s story. In fact, the former Wife Swap subjects had been under increased scrutiny by the media - and the authorities - after Falcon’s blunder during an interview with Wolf Blitzer.

VIDEO: Did Balloon Boy Pull Stunt for a Show?

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Cable, News, Video,


I’m sure if CNN’s Wolf Blitzer had heard the response clearly, he wouldn’t have let the moment go.

When asked why he didn’t come out of hiding when his name was called, Falcon Heene (a.k.a. Balloon Boy) told his dad: “You guys said that we did this for the show.”

Cue the video to the :23 mark and listen for yourself. Then watch Mayumi and Richard Heene’s reactions. Is there more to this story? Did the event fall as flat as the media feared?

Sarah Palin Talks About Her Abrupt Departure

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Videos, Where Are They Now?,


Wearing high waders and a T-shirt, former Governor talked to CNN while sporting a ponytail. I believe the interview was meant to clarify her decision to abdicate her high-ranking political office, but it only served to raise more questions.

“I want to help Alaska in different venues, on a different level,” she said.

Kathy Griffin’s Comedy: Out of Control?

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Late Night, Reality, Specials, Cable, Gossip, Video,

!Warning! The following clip contains offensive and explicit language:


What was a routine New Year’s Eve segment turned into much more when hecklers, a live mic and were thrown into the mix. Since the camera had cut away to go to commercial during Griffin’s comments, it’s highly likely the comedienne thought she was off the air.

Does that make her comments okay? Either way, Griffin lashed out at a bystander in the crowd. While her comments were likely meant to be amusing, it’s doubtful the audience thought anything she said was funny. “Screw you!” The redhead screamed at an onlooker, not shown by the cameras, before she proceeded to make her vulgar comment (heard in entirety in the clip above).
