Back in the Wild West days of YouTube, before the copyright lawyers arrived to harsh everyone’s mellow, you could scan through the currently-playing videos and conclude that Family Guy must be the highest-rated show on TV, if not the most popular entertainment on the planet.
Family Guy does well enough, of course, but it’s only a …
I got into London over the weekend for a number of reasons. One of them was to see the Sotheby’s pre-sale exhibition of Hirst’s work at their auction showroom in Mayfair. The actual sale, which may or may not make Hirst infinitely richer than he already is, I plan to skip. I do what I can to talk …
There didn’t exactly seem to be a clamor for a weekly True Blood Watch last week, but has anyone stuck with it? Second impressions?
I did actually find the series improved by the fourth and fifth episodes, but I don’t know if it’s enough, or if many people will stick around until then.
Tina Fey is just a heartbeat away from having to be on Saturday Night Live every week.
There were a lot of ways you could have gone with the first Palin skit—the ABC interview, the convention, something involving moose—but I’m glad they went the Hillary route since (1) “What must Hillary be thinking right now?” has been a constant …
A reminder that Saturday Night Live returns this weekend, amid word that Tina Fey is in talks to play Sarah Palin on the show. (Also, Barack Obama will reportedly cameo.)
What’s the opening sketch? The Charlie Gibson interview? The convention? Will it involve Bristol? Will there be a moose?
Palin, who majored in journalism but has since seen the error of her ways, not only out-celebritied Obama but also showed him how real celebrities handle the press.
Real celebrities don’t make themselves available to every Tom, Dick and
For the past few days, the entire world has been offering Charles Gibson unsolicited advice on how to interview Sarah Palin. I’ve done enough bad interviews in my day that I can hardly imagine handling one in front of an audience of a million kibitzers. So I’ll spare you (and Gibson) my two cents on which followup I would have asked here …
Then they lose their director. David Mickenberg, for seven years head of Wellesley College’s Davis Museum and Cultural Center, resigned yesterday, two weeks after it became public that his museum appears to have lost a Leger, Woman and Child, that had been donated to the museum in 1954. Geoff …
Project Runway judge Michael Kors showed his own collection at New York’s Fall Fashion Week. WWD calls his spring collection “a bit familiar,” but at least there’s no models “pooping fabric” here! Elsewhere at time.com, Joel Stein offers his take, which apparently differs from the rest of the fashion commentariat. (“Those are the three …
ABC has released its schedule for dishing out Charles Gibson’s Alaskan Sarahstravaganza: excerpts of the interview will air tonight on World News and Nightline and tomorrow on Good Morning America, World News and 20/20. [In other campaign-TV news, I should also note that Richard Stengel—a.k.a. my boss—will moderate a forum on service …
As a kind of public service, I took the title of Fox’s hotel sitcom Do Not Disturb literally and neglected to review it. My apologies to those of you who inadvertently, or vertently, watched the premiere last night. But consider this an open thread for discussing it, ‘Til Death or even Greatest American Dog (which so appropriately airs …
