MTV “Total Request Live” Cancelled: “TRL” Ends November 2008
A constant victim of sagging ratings, the music video countdown show will conclude in a two-hour special on a Saturday afternoon in November, executive producer Dave Sirulnick said on Monday. “We want to close this era of `TRL’ in a big celebratory way, and 10 is a great number,” Sirulnick said. “And 10 is the number that `TRL’ counted down every single day for 10 years, and we hit this 10th (anniversary) and we thought, `You know what? This feels like the right time and let&#

new WAS single: MAKING INCREDIBLE THINGS IS EASY -- WHEN YOU HAVE NEARLY ₤3000 AT YOUR DISPOSAL!
my favorite people release yet another single and announce it via a delightfully obnoxious e-mail: You dinosaur eggs mistaken for avocados, The time for us to release our new single is now -- *this very* now. IMPATIENCE, that song of ours that lots of people like, a number of people love, and only a few stingy b*stards find boring, comes out today in no less than 3 FORMATS. Yes, 3 FORMATS! Is that pretty much standard these days for singles? It may be, but if so then it's the gold standard. You've got

What Wouldn’t John McCain Do on ‘Saturday Night Live’?
Photo: Courtesy of NBCAt a panel discussion on Monday, Lorne Michaels downplayed the political influence of Saturday Night Live, saying, “The first thing you think about is whether [the sketch] is going to work and that it’s funny. You can’t think about the fate of Western civilization.” But then, the panel — which was held to commemorate the launch of the Museum of the Moving Image’s presidential-campaign-commercials Website The Living Room Candidate, and also featu

MTV Cancels ‘TRL’
Dave Sirulnick, executive producer of ‘Total Request Live, spoke with the Associated Press about MTV’s decision to end the program’s ten year run. “Ten a great number,” Sirulnick said. “This feels like the right time and let’s celebrate it and let’s reward it.” He added “Let’s let it have a little bit of a rest for a minute. Been working hard for 10 years!” The show will end in November with a special 2-hour show, taking place on a Satu

How to get reporters’ attention at Web 2.0 Expo
NEW YORK--In the press room at the Web 2.0 Expo at the Jacob Javits Convention Center here, there are a ton of fliers, stickers, and press kits lying around for us reporters and bloggers to peruse. It’s kind of hard for any one of them to stand out. Unless you’re like collaboration software start-up Octopz, which we reviewed last year. The company’s strategy: Leave out some bright turquoise-and-green stuffed octopi, free for the taking. No corny company logos, no attached pitch, just a

Rachel Zoe Goes Back To The Time She Was A Twenty-something Blushing Bride [Fashion Zoe]
newVideoPlayer("/zoe91708_jez_512K.flv", 475, 376,""); While I'm not fond of people being cruel about others' looks, it has been widely-suggested that Rachel Zoe rose to fame looking a bit…weathered. I only mention it because on last night's Rachel Zoe Project, she discussed her wedding to her husband, investment banker Roger Berman, 12 years ago, which — if Wikipedia can be trusted about the year of her birth — would have made her about 25 years old, which was hard for me to imagine. In the clip abo

Tuesday’s Contest Post of the Day: Favorite Episode?
Heroes has given us some exceptional episodes over the season and a half they have been on the air.  Some of the greats include “Company Man,” “.07%,” “Five Years Gone,” “Powerless” and of course the one that started it all, “Genesis.” Hopefully Season 3 will deliver more to add to that list. It’s really hard for me to pinpoint my very favorite, but I’d have to say “Company Man” ranks right up there. What I want to know from you today is… What is your favorite episode so

Angelina’s Palest Performance Yet

Lance Armstrong: I'm No "Sex Champion"
"I had sex if I had the energy. I wasn't one of those guys who believed in the myths about the guy losing his chi," he says in October's Men's Journal (as excerpted by the Huffington Post). "But the fact is that if you are riding your bike five, six, seven hours a day, you are not a sex champion. You're just not. You have fatigue, low testosterone and a lower libido." Grinning, he adds, "But you know, I never got any complaints." The 36-year-old cyclist — who recently split with Kate Hudson — also a

Newsstand Junkie: Something brewin' with Katie and Josh?
Apparently summer vacation is over, because the mags have supreme surprises in store. Brad didn't rendezvous with Jen as (allegedly) planned, but Joey and Pacey are sneaking around. Plus, Lindsay Lohan is a "mom to be?" Things only get better in the 'zines this week... In Touch suspects that Josh Jackson and Katie Holmes are reigniting old flames after he showed up to have coffee at the theater where she's rehearsing. It's only a short distance from his New York pad, they note. So all he had to do was nip

Jennifer Aniston on Looking For Love: "Surrender Control"
Jennifer Aniston has issued a tip for those looking for love -- "surrender control". The former Friends actress -- whose high-profile marriage with actor Brad Pitt ended in divorce in 2005 -- insists you've got to go with the flow in order to find that perfect guy or gal. Speaking at the Toronto International Film Festival, where she was promoting her new flick Management, the normally press-shy star opened up to discuss love and men. She said, "In order to let love in, you've got to really surrender con

The Men of Fall 2008 - Rufus Sewell
I have to admit that I didn’t know who Rufus Sewell was.  I mean, who he is.  But, last week’s TV Guide gave a preview of the Fall Guys as they call them.  And, Rufus Sewell as one of them, so I started my search.  I had to figure out who these man were and I was starting with a man named Rufus?  Why is that so hard for me to believe?  I mean, I just don’t see Rufus as being a TV Boyfriend, but hey, I didn’t get to name the men, I just get to look at the

Jennifer Aniston’s Secret of Dealing Love And Relationship
The “Friends” star shared her good thoughts on relationships at the Toronto Film Festival and it was noticeable that the actress seems to avoid saying anything about her previous flames. She revealed: “In order to let love in, you’ve got to really surrender control, you know? And that’s hard for some people. You’ve got to make sure it makes you feel good.” Perhaps the actress’ idea about control hasn’t been working for her lately with a string of men linin

Black Men Reveal - Why I Date Younger Women
You ever tell a man your age and he hit you with “so your biological clock is ticking?” Trust me, it’s happened to me before and I’m not even that old. Now one thing about me, I’m not a commitment type of female. It’s hard for me to be committed to anything (whether it’s a job, a place to stay, a relationship, hell even this blog) so most men don’t have to worry about me planning our wedding after the first date. However, I stumbled across this video yesterday

My Dancing With the Stars JourneyOn Monday August 18, I was in production for the third season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, and as usual, I was at my Mom and Bruce's house having breakfast. The only difference was, today I would be meeting my partner for Dancing With the Stars for the first time. Everyone was nervous and excited, we'd all been guessing over the last few weeks who the person might be, and everyone had their own thoughts and ideas and jokes about it all. All I could think was, I would

Celebs in Denim: Jessica Simpson in William Rast jeans
Singer/actress Jessica Simpson has reportedly gone country in her musical career, saying she’s been a country girl from the beginning.  She was spotted performing in Sacramento recently in a corset, plaid shirt and a pair of William Rast jeans.  Its hard for me to think of her as a good little southern belle, she is so Hollywood fashionista, with her tons of Louis Vuitton bags and Louboutins.  How I would love to have 1/10th of her wardrobe!  0 Response

Bob Barr Will Be President Of Texas!
The State of Texas says you must file to be on the presidential ballot 70 days before the election, and both Barack Obama and John McCain allegedly missed the deadline, so now whackadoodle Libertarian Bob Barr will be President of Texas while the rest of the nation has to make do with the geezer or the other guy. The Official State Rule is that you have to provide written certification of your party’s nomination 70 days before the election, which was hard for Obama and McCain to do, as neither person

Bench It Like Beckham: Theo Walcott Replacing Becks On The England Team
Another sign that the L.A. Galaxy and MLS were put too much stock in an aging David Beckham has been delivered by England coach Fabio Capello. The new man in charge for England made a Mike McCarthy/Ted Thompson like decision by moving Beckham to the bench in favor of young star on the rise Theo Walcott. It’s usually hard for a superstar player to admit it’s time to move on. Nobody would be shocked if Beckham was pissed about the decision being made for him, but so far Becks is singing the prais

26. The Chronicles of NarniaThere are plenty of reasons The Chronicles of Narnia might scare a kid. Creepy English children, goat men, ham-fistedly overt Christian themes. But the big one, the one that takes this over the top, is violence rendered upon animals. Kids can not stand to watch animals get hurt. They could watch human beings getting plowed down all day long, but you give one beagle a charley horse and here comes the waterworks. The world of Narnia is a talking animal realm, and those chatty beave
