Emmys Get Lowest Ratings Ever

Mandy @ Gone Hollywood  | Monday, September 17, 2007

Even Ryan Seacrest dressed like that couldn’t get people to watch the Emmys this year. The broadcast may have been the least-watched in history.

Preliminary figures from Nielsen Media Research put the audience for Sunday’s show, aired on Fox, at 13.1 million viewers. That’s three million fewer than for last year’s telecast, on NBC, and less than the record low 13.8 million three years ago on ABC.

What were people watching? About 13.3 million viewers chose to watch the New England Patriots play the San Diego Chargers instead. Which is sad since the Patriots won 38-14 and it wasn’t even a game after the first quarter.

The best part of the whole broadcast was Katherine Heigl correcting the announcer who mispronounced her name. Other than that, there were no real surprises. But if you’re interested, you can see all the winners after the jump

Jaime Pressly Blames Hollywood Sexism for Lousy Career

Freddy @ Gone Hollywood  | Monday, July 23, 2007

Jaime Pressly, best known for showing her glorious bare ass in such roles such as “that hot naked chick that replaced Drew Barrymore in the sequel to Poison Ivy,” says she would be the female equivalent of Ed Norton if only Hollywood weren’t so sexist.

My Name Is Earl actress Jaime Pressly is disgusted by the sexist nature of Hollywood, insisting women have less options than their male counterparts. The blonde star says it’s much easier for men to make their way through show business than actresses.

She says, “I’ve done my share of films I’d like to forget. Still, I don’t know anybody who hasn’t, especially actresses. Ed Norton came into this business and has only done amazing films because he has that option - he’s a man and those roles are available. “For women, a lot of the parts just aren’t that great and if you’re trying to make a living you take roles you wouldn’t necessarily take if you had money.”

Yeah, that’s how Kathy Bates and Meryl Streep and Natalie Portman and dozens of other actresses whose tits you haven’t seen have become so famous. The fact that this woman has made a good living for more than a decade and has the gall to whine about it is just annoying. After all, not too many men have the ability to make a living stripping naked and diving into a swimming pool. Or making cash on the side posing for Playboy and Maxim.

Frankly, I’m stunned that Pressly continues to get role after role now that she insists on keeping her clothes on. She’s a decent enough actress, I guess, but her acting chops are nowhere near comparable to her smoking hot body.

Celebrity Favorites for 2006

James Joyner @ Gone Hollywood  | Saturday, December 23, 2006

PEOPLE surveyed several Hollywood celebrities and got their picks for the year’s best books, movies, music and TV shows. Here’s what they found:

TV SHOWS

Ashlee Simpson: Desperate Housewives – “It’s one of those shows like Sex and the City – every girl likes it.”

Monique Coleman: Grey’s Anatomy – “Even though there’s huge issues, at the end of the day we’re still concerned about the characters – that’s good TV.”

Macy Gray: Nip/Tuck – “It’s over-the-top-
drama. It’s crazy. I don’t know who thinks of that stuff.”

John Stamos: South Park – “The show is so timely. If something happens, in like two weeks it’s parodied on there.”

Nicky Hilton: The Girls
Next Door – “I just think they’re so funny.”

MOVIES

Josh Groban: The Prestige – “Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman are awesome. And I’ve loved magic since I was a kid. That it’s a murder mystery with twists based on magic makes it amazing.”

Jaime Pressly: The Departed – “It was amazing. It’s a brilliant film. Everyone in it was great.”

Anjelica Huston: Borat – “I don’t know if it’s the best movie, but it’s the funniest. I have never laughed so
hard in a movie. I’ve never laughed so
hard, period.�

Mike Myers: The Fountain – “It’s beautiful. I’ve never seen anything like it. All the performances were great. It was transformative.”

Clay Aiken: The Queen – “Helen Mirren looks just like Queen Elizabeth. Acted like her! I thought it was very good.”

MUSIC

Anne Hathaway: Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins, Rabbit Fur Coat – “You can just listen to it start to finish and it tells a story. It’s beautiful, funny and very subversive. I really love it.”

Chris Cornell: Bob Dylan, Modern Times – “I think it’s fantastic. There’s a lightness to it that doesn’t normally come from him. When I say lightness, like a happiness.”

Zach Braff: Joshua Radin, We Were Here – “It’s just the greatest music. He’s a really talented guy. He’s like the new Paul Simon.”

Katharine McPhee: Christina Aguilera, Back to Basics – “I really like her record. I think she brought some cool old-school
stuff to it, and amazing vocals.”

BOOKS

Terrence Howard: Veronika Decides to Die by Paulo Coelho –”It teaches you to enjoy each moment.”

Ben Affleck: Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond – “I’m reading a lot
of nonfiction. . . .This is really good right now.”

Jennifer Connelly: In the Land of Magic Soldiers by Daniel Bergner – “That was the last one I read – it was actually about Sierra Leone, where Blood Diamond takes place. It was really fantastic.”

Queen Latifah: The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith – “I love it. It’s a whole series.”

Patricia Heaton: The Tiny One by Eliza Minot – “It’s about a girl who loses her mother, and she chronicles the whole day before she finds out her mother died. She’s exactly the age I was when my mother died. I’d read a few pages and then start sobbing.”

58th annual Emmy Nominations announced

@ Gone Hollywood  | Thursday, July 6, 2006

The 56th annual Emmy Award Nominations were announced this morning. And quite a few surprises I might add! Desperate Housewives was snubbed! EVERY one of them. (well, except for the creepy Betty - but not one of the main ladies!) And I can’t say I am just a slight bit giddy with delight. The show sucks. But am very upset by the fail to mention LOST as a contender in the Drama category. (Helloooo..they won last year!)

Nicky Hilton Unveils Fashion Line

James Joyner @ Gone Hollywood  | Saturday, February 25, 2006

Nicky Hilton has unveiled a new fashion line.

Amid gawking stargazers and a grinding mix of ’70s rock, socialite/designer Nicky Hilton unveiled her new upscale fashion line at a hip Las Vegas nightclub. Nicky Hilton Beverly Hills is the sequel to Hilton’s Chick, a tween-targeted casual wear line that was launched in 2004.

Hilton, 22, said her latest creations are “clothes my friends and I could wear,” adding that her designs will sell for far less than what she and her friends could afford to pay. “This ain’t Prada,” said the hotel heiress, who is the sister of “The Simple Life” star Paris Hilton.

She was one of several celebrities promoting their clothing lines at the MAGIC fashion industry trade show this week. Along with actress Jaime Pressly, hip-hop star Nelly and sports stars Magic Johnson and Randy Moss — all pushing their lines — the convention drew more than 100,000 designers, buyers and manufacturers to the Las Vegas Hilton.

I was trying to remind myself why it was again that Paris, the trashy one, is so much more famous than Nicky, the cute one. In searching through Yahoo’s Paris and Nicky Hilton photo montage (accompanying the story), I think I have discovered the answer:
