Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, Talk Shows, Cable, Daily Show, The, Gossip,
You’ve seen the TV show. You’ve checked out the web site. But you haven’t seen anything yet. The former Daily Show correspondent-turned mega-Comedy Central celebrity made the world laugh with witty observations and wholly invented words, Stephen Colbert is perhaps best known for his no-holds-barred approach to interviewing celebs, writers, and political candidates. Colbert’s book I Am America (And So Can You!) is set to hit the shelves this fall, and the Colbert Nation is anticipating the event. In an Entertainment Weekly interview, Stephen Colbert said that he embodies America – those who want to do the same can read the book. He also asked fans not to lend the book – heroes buy. Colbert said the book serves as a Constitution for the Colbert Nation, which is the appellation he has coined for his many, many fans. America as seen through the eyes of Colbert…are you ready, nation?

Kaz Hirai Hits the Interview Circuit
Posted by Paul Hamilton Categories: PlayStation 3, Sony,
Sony Computer Entertainment President Kaz Hirai has been speaking out about the PlayStation 3 including the reported development troubles some studios have had and Sony‘s commitment to the Japanese market.
Regarding the difficulty in development Hirai said he’s seen this before when the PS2 drew similar criticisms early in its lifecycle and that it doesn’t concern him. He said to The Official PlayStation Magazine that, in fact, he welcomes the news:
If they came back and told me, ‘PS3? We can do this in a heartbeat,’ that would be worrying because what it is telling me is that we’re not pushing the envelope from a technology standpoint.
In another interview with a Japanese website he said that developers working on cross-platform games ought to take advantage of the PS3’s extra capability to give PlayStation owners extra value. For example, “[W]ith the PS3, you’ve got the Sixaxis controller, or you could utilize the extra capacity provided by Blu-ray to add more levels, put on interviews with the developers or have your videos able to play in 1080p.” He said he understood why developers were choosing to work cross-platform considering the cost of making modern games.
Later in the same interview he tried to reassure Japanese gamers that they weren’t being overlooked:
Just because the foreign market is bigger than the domestic one, we don’t intend to take strategy of just making what would have been considered previously as ‘Western games’ and saying ‘We’ve got no choice but to do this’ to our Japanese users. If we did that, there’d be no point in having the Japan Studio.

Nicole Richie To Do Televised Interview
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: ABC, Gossip, News,
Hoping to distract us from that other troubled star, Nicole Richie has finally agreed to do a sit-down interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer.
Diane will of course be speaking to the waif about her August 16th court appearance. (Nicole, 25, is scheduled to face a DUI charge). It is also expected that Nicole will finally address the rumors of her pregnancy. My question is: Did she get knocked up on purpose thinking this will keep her from the slammer?
The segments will air next week on Good Morning America (Aug. 2nd, 3rd) and 20/20 (Aug. 3rd).

An Interview with “Without Prejudice” Host Dr. Robi Ludwig
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Games, Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Features,
Famed psychotherapist Dr. Robi Ludwig is part host, part counselor, and part mediator in her role on GSN’s Without Prejudice, an intriguing new show I had the opportunity to watch recently. The show is scheduled to premiere on GSN this Tuesday at 9pm ET, and it’s an event you won’t want to miss.. In this interesting twist on the standard reality TV show format, five strangers will compete for the chance to win $25,000. They will be judged, on looks and personality alone, by a panel of five judges – also strangers. Round by round, more information is revealed about each of the contestants, as they are slowly whittled down to only two. Dr. Ludwig guides the footage, and the discussion that results among the judges, often listening quietly until her expertise is needed. Without Prejudice explores the political topics that cause debate among world leaders and legislatures today, and asks a question that many wouldn’t dare: can we judge each other, Without Prejudice? Judges are treated to camera interviews of each contestant, as well as some hidden camera footage that sheds new light on those vying for the $25,000 prize. After watching the compelling first episode, I got the chance to speak with Dr. Ludwig via phone for a one-on-one interview.

Priced at $250 USD, this Sansa Connect has Wifi that makes good on the capabilities of the technology, creating a true wireless player, unlike the crippled Wifi featured in the Zune.
Another Week, Another Idol Dream Shattered
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Editorial, Features, Gossip,
When it comes to the singers on American Idol, everyone is an armchair judge. Though even the most avid fans will admit that sometimes Simon Cowell is a little cruel and unusual with contestants, he is also usually right in what he says. Last week’s elimination round saw the end to long-legged Haley Scarnato, whom Simon said during the first weeks of competition was “forgettable.” During her last few weeks on the show, it wasn’t Hayley’s voice that got notice from judges and fans alike – it was what she had going on (or off) below the waist. Fans weren’t the only ones noticing how skimpy Hayley’s outfits became – even Simon Cowell said it was a good idea for her to show off those legs. Hayley spoke about Simon’s comments and her own wardrobe choices to Ryan Seacrest during his radio show: “It’s just a costume, I would never wear that out on the street or anything…If my dad can handle it and my fiancé can handle it, then I’m not overstepping anything.” But it is interesting to note that Hayley, whether intentionally or otherwise, took the advice of the trio who host TVGuide Channel’s Idol Chat. On the air, hosts stated that Hayley’s got great legs – “she should show them off.” The very next week, Hayley was doing just that. Could be a coincidence. What’s not coincidental was Hayley’s elimination, which occurred after her rendition of “Turn the Beat Around” last week. Her departure has led to all sorts of conjecture on which Idol will be the next to get the boot.
