Steve Martin, Alec Baldwin to Host Academy Awards
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, ABC, Saturday Night Live, Video,
It was just announced that two vets of Saturday Night Live‘s stage will combine their live audience experience to front next year’s Academy Awards.
Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin’s dual selection comes just one year after Hugh Jackman received praise for his Oscars gig. It also comes one week after Ricky Gervais was appointed to the 2010 Golden Globes post.
“Steve will bring the experience of having hosted the show in the past and Alec will be a completely fresh personality for this event,” Adam Shankman, this year’s producer, said.

Swift, Wentz, Cuomo, and Barker Appear in New Band Hero Ad
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Music, Internet, News, Video,
Continuing with its string of Risky Business-inspired commercials, Activision’s latest TV spot stars Taylor Swift, Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz, Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo, and Blink-182’s Travis Barker. With a quartet like that, how could any marketing exec not feel accomplished at what she does?
Shot last week in Los Angeles by director Brett Ratner, the four musicians rock out to Taylor’s song, “Love Story” (seen after the jump). It’s cute how the guys are slightly dwarfed by Taylor’s model-esque height. The game is out in stores now.
I want to play Band Hero with Rivers Cuomo!

FOX Orders More Gordon Ramsay
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Food & Home, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, News, Video,
FOX will be dishing out a third series featuring saucy Brit Gordon Ramsay. In addition to his duties at Hell’s Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares, Ramsay will soon be starring in MasterChef.
In the series, non-professional chefs will attempt to create dishes that Ramsay approves - a hard enough task even for the greatest cooks in the world. Expect swearing to ensue. Watch Ramsay destroying a chef in the clip above - but beware of the graphic language.

VIDEO: Fillion Confirms Dr. Horrible Sequel in Works
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Comedy, Music, Gossip, Internet, News, Renewals, Rumors, Video,
While we’ve been seeing a whirlwind of due success for the Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog crew, the more pressing news has been about the sequel. Now Nathan Fillion, who portrays the antagonist Captain Hammer in the series, assures fans that a title and a couple songs have indeed been established.
In the video, Fillion claims that the media has yet to be decided upon. While it would be cool to see Dr. Horrible on the big screen, let’s all be reminded of Serenity, which garnered a mediocre victory at the box office. I fear that if the sequel meets the same fate that a third installment will never see the light of day. I mean, let’s not get ahead of ourselves, eh?

VIDEO: More Dead People Appear in DirecTV Ads
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Comedy, Cable/Satellite, Gossip, Internet, Video,
After hiring Chris Farley after death, the people over at Landline TV (more internet video funny guys—as if we didn’t have enough) predicted who DirecTV may hire for their next commercials:
“After testing the boundaries with their Chris Farley spot, DirecTV wrangles more famous people from beyond the grave to be in commercials. “
In the video, the level of offensiveness heightens with each ad, as Heath Ledger, President John F. Kennedy, and Jesus are all mouthpieces for the satellite TV company.

TLC reality star and media
sponge Kate Gosselin recently admitted in an interview that she’s not proud of how she treated Jon.
“I was very hard on him and I would never deny that. I felt very much like a lot of weight rested on my shoulders… I was wrong to treat him that way. Was it good, healthy and wonderful? No. Am I proud of those moments that were captured? No.”
Should we still be caring about these two? The way that they treat each other seems like they’re meant to be.

Jessica Simpson Angrily Twitters @Melrose
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Gossip, Video,
“who writes this crap?” Jessica Simpson recently demanded of her Twitter-reading audience, after noting that “CW catching up on MP.” That stands for Melrose Place, the show which recently fired Jess’ little sister Ashlee (and after they pimped her out as their main promo, too).
“i have had bad scripts to work with, but this?thank God my sister is amazing and got you some press.” Simpson continued to fire away.

FOX Brings Glee to National Anthem
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, Specials, Sports, FOX, Video,
Some of the cast members from Glee helped open one of the World Series games recently, delivering an enjoyable version of the national anthem.
The song was brilliantly sung by Amber Riley, who plays Mercedes on the show and was once rejected by American Idol producers (seriously, somebody should get fired over that). On backup you’ll see Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Chris Colfer, Kevin McHale (with no wheelchair!), Dianna Agron, Mark Salling and Jenna Ushkowitz.
You’ll want to have the sound turned up before you watch this clip, or you’ll miss most of the Glee.

VIDEO: Why Ewoks and Alcohol Don’t Mix
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Talk Shows, NBC, Video,
If the Today show producers ever decided to replace Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb for an extra hour of this every day, I might actually start watching.
On today’s Halloween-themed broadcast, we all - even die-hard Stars Wars fans - learned a few new facts about those creatures called Ewoks.
- They don’t know crap about decoupage.
- They love drinking vodka in the morning.
- They know how to moonwalk.
- They will kick each other in front of the cameras, even before you even say “Action.”
- They will hump anything…whether it be Al Roker‘s leg or the ground.
