Tom Hanks Clarifies Controversial Comment

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Television, Rumors,

During last week’s premiere of the HBO series Big Love, Tom Hanks had a few choice words for the Mormons of the world.

Hanks is one of the executive producers of Big Love, a scripted series which showcases a family of polygamists (who are also Mormon). TLC did the same thing, only theirs was a reality show - and never quite managed the success HBO’s project has found.

While at the premiere of the new season, Hands spoke out against “Prop-8,” which is properly called Proposition 8. This law was proposed in California - and passed - to ban same-sex marriage. The passing of the law stunned much of Hollywood, and many stars have spoken out against Prop-8 as a result. Even though the deal is done, they’re still talking. And so’s Hanks.

Jonas and Swift: Superstars Turned Super Childish

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Television, Break-ups, Hook-ups, Child Stars, Rivalries, Rumors,

Hey, they actually are kids. At times I’ve wondered if some Disney celebs aren’t actually Stepford Stars - they look like teens, but they’re really bionic, singing, money-making robots. In some ways, it’s satisfying when they slip up. This at least proves that, while they may be beautiful and rich and talented, at least they’re still human. At the same time, the back-and-forth press games between Joe Jonas and Taylor Swift are starting to get a little - okay, a lot - tedious.

Swift seemed to take the high road regarding the Jonas bro split, saying “He’s not in my life anymore, and I have absolutely nothing to say about or to him” to the New York Times. That was on the ninth (Sunday), and that was the right thing to say.

But then news broke that Joe Jonas, one-third of the pop sensation The Jonas Brothers, was seeing music video hottie Camilla Belle

Alec Baldwin vs. My Name is Earl

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Television, Meltdowns, Rivalries, Breaking News,

When Hollywood’s teen starlets engage in a feud, it’s usually over some hot young male celeb. When mature female stars squabble, it’s usually about publicity - and which one of them has a book out that talks about the feud. When well-established males in the industry start trading catty comments like a couple of kids…that’s entertainment.

Alec Baldwin started the brawl of the comments in the New Yorker. In Baldwin’s lengthy New Yorker profile, the actor launched into a gripe aimed at NBC shows My Name is Earl and Scrubs. Baldwin can currently be seen on NBC show 30 Rock, but after this one has to wonder for how long. When speaking of 30 Rock, Baldwin said, “if the show does succeed, it’ll be something of a [expletive deleted] miracle, because NBC hasn’t done a [expletive deleted] thing to help this show at all.” He further went on to state that NBC has “gone out of their way to wring the last drops out of My Name Is Earl and Scrubs. Those shows are done! They’re cooked! Yet they do a one-hour episode of Earl. You’ve got to be [expletive deleted] kidding me.”

Paula Abdul Names her American Idol Picks

For six years the judges have criticized, complimented and congratulated American Idol contestants. After sitting through the entire spectacle from year to year, do these three have special insight into which singers America will pick to win? Paula Abdul has made her predictions…do they match your own?

In her Morning Show with Mike Juliet appearance, Paula Abdul named the group she thinks will make it all the way to the end. Carly Smithson, David Archuleta, David Cook and Michael Johns are Abdul’s final four, unsurprising picks considering this group is a mix of those considered popular front-runners.

Abdul also dished on her method of critiquing contestants, which ranges from utter nonsensical babble to strange metaphors about colors and lights (when she’s not saying she wants to “squish” their heads off). “I try to give them something they can hold onto,” Paula said of her comments, “leave them with grace and dignity…and back it up with constructive criticism.” Really that’s what you try to do? Abdul often leaves contestants with open-mouthed confusion as far as I can see - when she’s not standing oddly behind the judges’ table, stumbling around.
