Sarah Silverman is everywhere in entertainment news as of late. Headlining a Vegas show, starring in some lame arthouse flick, and now, with the return of her show on Comedy Central, The Sarah Silverman Program. I’d respect Sarah a bit more if her act/humor didn’t solely rely on her ability to provoke without any comedic substance or wit of any kind. That, and I couldn’t help but notice that every article that made mention of Silverman’s latest movie I Want Someone To Eat Cheese With mostly alluded to words such as “striptease” and “skivvies” when describing the movie. That can’t bode well for the remaining hour and half of the film.
Sarah is already making waves these days for the controversy surrounding the premise of the season premiere of her show. The racially-charged episode features Sarah donning a black face after she is denied entrance (for being Jewish, according to her) into a club and runs into a black waiter who makes the comment, “Try being Black for a day.” Well, you get where the plot goes from there. After all, I wouldn’t wanna ruin the surprise.
Ladies and gents, our new Price is Right host is none other than unfunny man Drew Carey. Hording all the media attention in the past few weeks, Rosie O’Donnell was also considered for this role, but ultimately Carey beat out other male front-runners, such as ET’s Mark Steines and another 2-D catatonic Ken doll TV host whose name I can’t remember.
Victoria Beckham didn’t waste any time capitalizing on her hubby’s deal with the LA Galaxy to further catapult her career as a professional celebrity. Her Monday night special, Coming To America, testified to that. And although the special picked up decent enough ratings for the silicone-breasted bronzed kewpie doll to get a repeat performance tonight on NBC, the show didn’t manage to do much in the way of swaying American populace opinion of the star. In other words as a publicity agent, the show failed miserably in that people still consider her to be a self-involved bitch. On the flipside, execs at NBC were so impressed with her that they decided that not only will they re-air the special tonight, but have her host the whole Thursday night line-up on NBC. To include extra Beckham footage, NBC hauled ass back to the Beckhams and managed to secure some interstitials in time for tonight. Victoria was said to be most obliging. GO figure!
Posh Spice aka Victoria Beckham aka the LA transplant that’s done the most to project a 180 image of herself (blond hair, shiny face, and flashing a 24-7 non-English bed of white, perfectly straightened teeth) is starring in her own made-for-NBC special tonight airing tonight at 8 PM.
The special, “Victoria Beckham: Coming To America” features the former Spice Girl’s move from Europe to LA and all the subsequent adapting that she has to endure. Like having to find a McMansion suitable enough for herself, getting her stylist to gloss her lips pre-Driver’s License photo shoot, and working overtime to convince us all that’s she really just a “low-key mum and a lot more boring than most.” The latter is credible, the former, hardly. After all, rumor has it if the special does well (and we’re talking most likely as high in the ratings as the “Harry & Andrew Interview W/ Matt Lauer”), Posh will start doing more regular work for the network.
Well, duh. Like we didn’t know there was some sort of promotional angle to tonight’s special… Anyways, the trailer seen here is a funny one. What happens when the queen of mean (Perez Hilton) meets his arch-rival celebrity whore? Paparazzi of course! What did you expect with Posh running off insulting the very namesake of her special? Sure, Eddie’s a dawg, but chopping off [his] dick and spitting in his food ain’t exactly very ladylike behaviour.
Internet Gossip Blogger Extraordinaire Perez Hilton aka Mario Lavandeira aka the Gossip Gangstar is a well-known pop fixture on the Hollywood socialite/drag queen scene. He’s not only accrued notereity through his blog and the legions of people (myself included) who visit each day to catch a glimpse of “The Hills” Heidi Montag’s breast and mouth augmentation, but he’s even relatively respected in media circles. He’ll be playing guest host over at “The View” later this month and made a special appearance at this year’s Canadian Much Music Video Awards (think MTV Movie Awards minus the Paris Hilton purgatory of paparazzi) earlier this month.
So it’s with a heavy heart that I say that Perez Hilton’s copyright infringement violations have finally caught up with him - at least for the short-term. Hilton has been accused of stealing photos in four separate lawsuits initiated by eight different photo agencies. It was reported earlier today by Variety that the site’s webhost Crucial Paradigm stated that if they received one more notice of copyright violation against PerezHilton.com they would take the site down immediately.
It looks like Crucial stayed true to their word because today they took official action and pulled the site down. And unfortunately for those of us gossip mongers, as of 9 PM tonight, you still can’t access the site’s archive nor are any of the links to the actual posts functioning properly. There is a skeleton in place but not too many photos, unless you could the one that likens the wrestler Chyna to former star of “The Practice” and on-and-off Jack Nicholson flame Lara Flynn Boyle. Quite honestly, the similarities are a bit disturbing. But I suppose with enough plastic surgery, Neil Patrick Harris might actually appear straight on “How I Met Your Mother.”
