David Letterman Delivers Apology to Wife

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Late Night, Talk Shows, CBS, Video,


Now that he’s got the disclosure part of the way, David Letterman is working on Phase 2 of his extortion plot situation: the apology.

On tonight’s Late Show broadcast, the host took time out to address the main woman in his life—his wife Regina Lasko. Although they have only been married since March of this year, the two have been dating for over 23 years. In other words, long before he ever started having sex with Stephanie Birkitt. (CBS provided the snippet above from this evening’s monologue.)

Mackenzie Phillips to Appear on Oprah Again

Chynna and Mackenzie Phillips

The marketing plan continues, as Mackenzie Phillips is scheduled to appear on The Oprah Winfrey Show yet again—this time, she’ll be joined with half-sister Chynna Phillips.

Mackenzie is scheduled to appear via satellite, while Chynna will come into the studio to join Oprah. The news comes after Chynna has publicly stated that she believes Mackenzie’s shocking claims about her incestuous relationship with her father: “A part of me died when I found out.”

Can we count on Mackenzie’s former stepmother, Michelle Phillips, to appear on the show as well?

Dustin Lance Black Responds to Internet Scandal

Dustin Lance Black won 2009 Oscar for Best Original ScreenplayWhy do bad things happen to good people? This has been quite the year for Big Love writer Dustin Lance Black—one moment he’s being honored in Los Angeles by gay youth-mentoring group LifeWorks, and the next moment his private photos are blasted all over the internet.

The writer, whose Milk script nabbed him the 2009 Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, has been a supporter of the LGBT movement and advocate of safe sex. Intimate photos of Black and an ex-boyfriend engaging in what appears to be risky sex were leaked to photo agency Starzlife the other day.

In response to the leak, Black told E! Online’s Mark Malkin the following:

American Idol: Voting Scandal?

Kris Allen

According to the New York Times, AT&T became a big part of several Kris Allen parties during last week’s finale. Their reports suggest marked voter influencing and support for that camp.

Allegedly, AT&T representatives not only provided free text-messaging services to Allen party attendees, but also taught texters how to power-text. This method of texting allows users to send many messages at once, with a single button. This could make it easier to send out many more votes in favor of one Idol contestant.

In case you somehow missed it, AT&T is a huge American Idol sponsor.

Miley Cyrus Photos: Round Five

Miley Cyrus

We said there would be more to come - and now they’ve arrived.

Almost three weeks after the last round of Miley Cyrus photos were released, another set from her stolen camera have just been unveiled. While Miley predictably gives us more shots of her midriff, we’ve thankfully been spared from another shower scene. We also get a nice air kiss to boot.

Gee…thanks.

More Miley Cyrus Photos: Round Four

Miley CyrusAlthough it’s entirely possible she’s stopped taking new self-portraits, it looks as if hasn’t gotten around to deleting old ones. Thanks to a hacker, two stills supposedly from the singer’s iPhone have just been released. (Word has it, there are more to come.)

In the new shots, we see the girl baring her stomach (once again) and standing in the shower apparently prepping for a wet t-shirt contest.

And while there are some of you out there who still refuse to believe she would do such a thing, please keep in mind—she has already apologized for the photos seen all across the internet. She has already acknowledged that pics exist. So even though there’s a slim chance these are not her, I say they look exactly the ones that have been out there for months now.

Interestingly enough, Miley recently claimed she wanted to “reinvent” herself like . If that’s the case, she really needs to find something else controversial to do soon. This whole photo thing is really becoming quite stale.

Oprah Duped by Another Writer

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television,

Oprah, James FreyUnless you’ve recently come out of hibernation, you were aware of the issue between and James Frey a while back.  After Winfrey selected his book, A MIllion Little Pieces, for her book club in October 2005, the talk show host was blindsided by controversial news:  the ‘memoir’ was partially made up.

Although it’s been over two years since Frey received a very public scolding from Oprah on her show, it seems the mogul’s peeps have not learned their lesson.  While you would think they had a very large fact-checking operation going on - heaven forbid she be embarrassed again - they’ve let another supposed ‘memoir’ get past their sensors.

Digging Up the Dirt on More American Idols

We all knew someone from would eventually have their trash uncovered….but four different contestants?

Last week, Amanda Overmyer’s brush with the law was revealed.  This week, we have a foul-mouthed boy, a former male stripper and a girl who likes to take semi-racy photos with her friends.

First up - .  I’ve hated the pouty mouth singer from Day One.  (His attitude overrides any shred of talent he might have.)  Now there’s this video that has surfaced on MySpace.  It may have been intended as a joke, but I fail to see the humor in it.  (I do like making fun of him though.)

Kwame’s Last LOL?

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Smartphones, Editorial,

Kwame Kilpatric

If you live in the environs of Detroit, Michigan, then you already know that we are in the midst of political controversy. Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick had a more than business relationship with his now former chief of staff Christine Beatty. We wouldn’t presume to know or care what the politician does with his personal life as he is always up to some shenanigans, but one of the things mentioned during the uncovering of the scandal was text messages between the two. Apparently there were over 40,000 of them recovered.

We guess we assume that everyone text messages, so we found it somewhat amusing when they showed some of them and had interpreted them with differing versions of “LOL.” Local news anchors either literally said “L - O - L” or “hehehe.” Go figure.

While there is more to the story (including a public apology tonight after getting caught) that you can read if you are curious or simply want a giggle, we wondered about two things. Can a cell phone hold that many messages at a time? And even weirder, if you were supposedly in charge of an entire city, married, and having an affair, would you keep those messages around for just anybody to read? Hmmm. Like we said, we just wondered. Blogs are great for initiating discussions about topics like that.
