What gets “The Hills” star Audrina Patridge going? Apparently, an enormous Teriyaki Six Dollar Burger from Carl’s Jr. Yeah, I’m not buying that either.
Following in the fast-food footsteps of Paris Hilton and Padma Lakshmi, who previously steamed up screens for the chain, is Patridge (set to star in her own TV series) and her sexy and suggestive new Carl’s Jr. ad campaign.
And boy does she put The ‘Bu in Burger — working a skimpy gold bikini, a SoCal tan and a bombshell ‘do, all while consuming a burger almost the size of her head.
The sure-to-be controversial commercial will premiere on June 24, coinciding with the burger’s release. Both will have mouths watering.
So, has Audrina dethroned Paris and Padma to become the reigning burger queen?
Singing sensation Susan Boyle — whose dowdy image contrasted so greatly with her angelic voice that she became an instant Internet celebrity — has gone in for a makeover.
Boyle, 47, had her graying, frizzy hair dyed chestnut brown and styled in what The Sun tabloid says was a 35-pound ($50) makeover. And instead of the old-fashioned dress she wore on the TV show “Britain’s Got Talent,” the Scottish singer was photographed wearing a stylish black leather jacket with what looked to be a Burberry scarf.
Asked if she would change her looks on CNN’s Larry King Live, Boyle replied “Why should I change?”
Because she looked dreadful and is now going to be continually seen by millions?
The problem, of course, is that her fame was largely sparked precisely because of how un-starlike she looked. People were prepared to laugh at her, presuming that she was one of the pathetic figures these shows trot out in the opening weeks of new seasons for comedic effect, only to be shocked at how amazing her voice was.
Here’s something that I never knew about Summer Glau - she is very flexible and can spread her legs like crazy.
The actress who stars in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles shot these photographs for Tyler Shields‘ new book “The Dirty Side of Glamour.”
How did she become so flexible? She was growing up to be a ballet dancer, so hardcore that she was home schooled from grades 3-12, but she had an ankle injurt.
The finale of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is this Friday on Fox, no word yet on if it will be renewed next season - they are probably waiting to see how the new Terminator: Salvation movie does at the box office.
Hopefully they will renew it so we can see Summer Glau do some flexy shit like this, or just stick her in a bikini and that would be just as good.
A while ago I posted some promos of Eliza Dushku for her new TV show Dollhouse, those promos featured the actress lying naked in some water and showing off her nipples.
Fox Network obviously realize that sex sells, especially when it comes to Eliza, because they have released new promo shots featuring the actress naked-ish, she lies with only her arms covering her boobs and then again lies naked in some water.

In case you forgot what the show is all about then look here, or if you really don’t give a crap about it then just head on to my other post that showed Eliza Dushku’s naked boobs in some movie she did.
Last month I posted some screencaps that showed Eliza Dushku topless in her latest movie The Alphabet Killer, well now her boobs/nipples are making another appearance.
The bosses at Fox Network are obviously hoping sex sells, because in the new promo shots for Eliza’s new TV show Dollhouse because you can clearly see her nipple through her wet top below, in the other shots you see her lying naked, lying in a pool of water with a gun, basically the promos are hot.
If you don’t know about the show, it begins on February 13 and is about people who have had their personalities wiped clean so they can be imprinted with any number of new personas, including memory, muscle memory, skills, and language, for different assignments. They’re then hired out for particular jobs, crimes, fantasies, and occasional good deeds. On missions, Actives are monitored internally (and remotely) by Handlers. In between tasks, they are mind-wiped into a child-like state and live in a futuristic dormitory/laboratory, a hidden facility nicknamed “The Dollhouse”. The story follows Echo (Eliza Dushku), who begins, in her mind-wiped state, to become self-aware.

I will absolutely watch this show because Eliza Dushku is hot and the show sounds pretty cool.
Adrienne Curry has blogged about the fight that took place between Sharon Osbourne and Megan Hauserman during the reunion show for Charm School Rock Of Love.
Curry who has starred in her own fair share of reality tv shows and done a couple of spreads in Playboy says:
“A friend of mine attended the taping of Charm School Rock Of Love Reunion the other day. Megan, the prissy stuck up bitchy hot chick that wants to be Paris Hilton got her ass beat by Sharon! I guess she decided that ripping on a woman who is 1898837337375357 times more amazing and classy than you’s husband (who happens to be the Fucking Prince Of Darkness) is a GOOD idea! She told Sharon that she was married to a brain dead drug addict. Sharon poured her shake on the broads head and then beat the shit out of her. You might as well threaten The President Elect!
Sharon is a Tyrant in the industry. She is well respected by just about everyone. She is NOT someone you fuck with. Congrats, Charm School chick…whatever career you MAY have once had is up in smoke. Watch, I bet the chick sues Sharon, hence making her public enemy number one. If you got beat up by a broad 30+ years older than you, take it like a fucking woman and leave it be. You deserved it.”

I really cant wait to see this fight, I think it’s funny thatAdrienne Curry has to get her nose in it, it must suck to be someone famous who can only get attention from blogs like this.
Sitting in the bath with shaved hair, and naked - Jade Goody bared all about the effects of her cancer treatment in her new TV show last night.
In the first episode of Jade, the brave Big Brother star is shown receiving radiotherapy treatment, discussing the painful after-effects of her hysterectomy and chemotherapy, and breaking down in tears as she struggles to battle with cervical cancer.
Jade said in documentary:
‘I am not embarrassed to talk about things. I feel better when I talk about it.
Personally being told I got something at such a young age with two kids and I have no control over, it just makes me think I don’t care what people think about me or what they say, or judge me.’

The 27-year-old beautician - whose boyfriend Jack Tweed is in prison for assault - is shown visiting the Royal Marsden cancer hospital for radiotherapy.
Afterwards Jade spoke frankly about the effects on her body. She said: ‘Oh my god, I am not in pain the radiotherapy gurgles in my stomach. I just feel like I am a 27-year-old in a 50-year-old’s body - I had an operation that took my womb out.
‘Sometimes you get really horrible sensations in your private parts and your bottom, sorry.’
Pat O’Brien, 60, who’s spent most of his career covering sports and hosting tabloid TV shows, is suddenly worried about poor people and the unemployed.
“The Insider” correspondent O’Brien - who likes to sign off his e-mails, “There is more to life than increasing its speed” - sent a message to the staffs of “Insider” and “Entertainment Tonight” over the weekend that read:
“Hi, folks, I just spent a couple of days in Iowa - I’m a little bit of a favorite son there - and I spoke with maybe a thousand people and was very hands-on. Even Joe Biden said, ‘You should be running (for president)!’ But what I came away with was, these people can’t afford gas, books, food or schools or movies!
“I was approached a hundred times by people asking, ‘Can you help us?’ I tried to tell them we care, but they didn’t buy it. They wanted to, but watching Anya and Lara [Spencer] pick out accessories makes the viewers want to vomit. I’ll get killed for this, but I’m actually the one not afraid for my job. I want people to be happy.”
The segment on “The Insider” O’Brien referred to is the “Look for Less” feature, in which Spencer and her stylist show viewers how to look like her affordably. “It’s a very popular segment and gets the most hits on the Web site,” a source said, adding:
“He is very jealous of Lara because she is the sole host of the show - she has his old job. It’s amazing the show sent him to interview Joe Biden. It’s just so arrogant and comes from his insecurity and jealousy.”
O’Brien was demoted from hosting “The Insider” after a stint in rehab in 2005 when voice mails surfaced of him drunkenly asking a woman for sex. Of the e-mails, he explained to Page Six, “I’m trying to create a discourse. The American people want honesty. I just raged against the machine. We can change the world.”
The commercial wasn’t exactly for nipples, but Calvin Klein knew that the new ad for his fragrance had to push the envelope. American televisions will not be showing the ad that shows Eva Mendes naked and rolling around on a bed talking about love and madness.
The only thing stopping the ad for Secret Obsession from being aired in the US is a brief glimpse of Mendes’ nipple. The shot is brief and barely noticeable but censors won’t have it. The director for the ad was astonished at the snub.
“You must be kidding me. This country really needs a new president — this country is so messed up,” said Baron. “It’s such a joke and it’s quite upsetting, frankly, how hypocritical this country has become. It’s OK for children to see people killed by guns? Spreading a little love right now would be a good idea.
“She is being a little sexy, but they are not provocative,” added Baron. “They are really well done. The spot is really beautiful — I really can’t believe this is happening.…I don’t know what else to say.”
Eh, what’s a little nipple? I rather my kids see that than “The View.” Besides I think Eva Mendes naked is about as appealing as an ordinary commercial. The ad with the E-trades kid distracts you seconds after seeing her nipple for the 50th time anyway.
Roseanne’s originalBecky Conner, Alicia Goranson, was spotted reading tarot cards at the Gowanus Yacht Club in Brooklyn last Saturday. This is what life has come to!
I don’t know if she’s doing this for money or if it’s a regular thing, but rest assured that people will be camping at the Gowanus Yacht Club, hoping to run into her.
What others said:
TMZ says, “Somewhere on the “Scrubs” set, Sarah Chalke is laughing.”
In a year filled with comebacks, is it time for Rosie O’Donnell to stage her return to TV?
“Multiple sources” have told Entertainment Weekly that the moody media mogul might soon return to television with her own weekly NBC primetime variety show.
The news comes just as the Peacock is said to be courting exiting Tonight Show host Jay Leno for a similar gig.
It’s possible O’Donnell’s series would be a fallback in case Leno defects to ABC after his late-night reign ends next year (as many expect he will).
NBC was unavailable for comment.
I wonder what Elisabeth will think of Rosie’s grand return?
The U.S. government’s campaign against television indecency was dealt a blow on Monday when a court overturned a $550,000 fine against CBS Corp television stations for airing a glimpse of pop singer Janet Jackson’s breast during the 2004 Super Bowl broadcast. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit said the Federal Communications Commission had “arbitrarily and capriciously departed from its prior policy” that exempted fleeting broadcast material from actionable indecency violations.
Jackson’s right breast was exposed to almost 90 million TV viewers for a fraction of a second during the live 2004 Super Bowl football halftime show in what fellow pop singer Justin Timberlake later called a “wardrobe malfunction.” Timberlake ripped off part of Jackson’s bustier exposing Jackson’s breast during the show. Despite the brevity, lawmakers and regulators were outraged and vowed a crackdown on broadcast indecency.
The judges rejected the FCC’s argument that the “fleeting” policy had only applied to words, not images. “Like any agency, the FCC may change its policies without judicial second-guessing. But it cannot change a well- established course of action without supplying notice of and a reasoned explanation for its policy departure,” Chief Judge Anthony Scirica wrote for the three-judge panel that heard the case.
[...]
The decision got a sharp rebuke from the Parents Television Council, an indecency watchdog group. It said the ruling “borders on judicial stupidity” and urged lawmakers in Congress to pass a bill to strengthen anti-indecency enforcement. “If a striptease during the Super Bowl in front of 90 million people, including millions of children, doesn’t fit the parameters of broadcast indecency, then what does?” the group asked.
But, of course, it wasn’t a “striptease” but rather an instantaneous “Did I just see what I thought I saw?!” moment. And, while I don’t believe for a moment that Jackson and/or Timberlake didn’t plan the incident to generate precisely the buzz they got, it’s simply bizarre to fine CBS for airing something that happened outside their control during a live broadcast.
Steven Taylor, whose post on the subject is entitled “Janet Jackson’s Right Breast Ruled Constitutional,” guesses this will be appealed to the Supreme Court. Too bad we don’t Potter Stewart isn’t around any more.
Brit Hume is going into semi-retirement, Howie Kurtz reports.
Brit Hume, a top anchor and executive with Fox News since the channel was launched 12 years ago, plans to step down at year’s end. But he won’t disappear entirely.
Sources familiar with the situation say that Hume, 65, will give up his job as Washington managing editor and anchor of “Special Report.” They say he is near a deal to continue with Fox in a senior statesman role, not unlike that of Tom Brokaw at NBC, for roughly 100 days a year.
In his new role, Hume would be a senior political analyst, anchor special events, serve as a panelist on “Fox News Sunday” and occasionally substitute for the host, Chris Wallace.
This was apparently expected. Certainly, the man’s got plenty of money and has earned the right to a lighter schedule.
As I’ve noted many times, I’ve all but stopped watching television news since starting the blog. I always enjoyed Hume, though, as an anchor or as a panelist.
UPDATE: Reactions are starting to pour in.
Matt Sheffield, Newsbusters: “He’ll be missed. Special Report was a rare island of sanity in the chaotic sea of cable news.”
Matt Corley, Think Progress, reports without comment. His commenters stay classy, as always.
David Hauslaib, Jossip: “Perhaps he’ll use the opportunity to make the official transition from hard news anchor to opinionated pundit.”
Rush will be making their first U.S. television appearance in more than thirty years on Comedy Central’s “Colbert Report.”
The Canadian band Rush, which hasn’t performed on U.S. television in more than three decades, will play their classic “Tom Sawyer” on the Comedy Central show Wednesday (11:30 p.m. EST). The Geddy Lee-led trio, which is currently on tour, hasn’t played on U.S. television since 1975.
Rush is only the latest act to perform on “The Report,” which has steadily edged closer to “Ed Sullivan Show” territory. With increasingly frequent musical performances, “The Report” has grown a variety-show impulse, evident in other upcoming bookings. The rapper Nas will perform on July 23, Toby Keith will return for a second performance on July 28 and Crosby, Stills and Nash will play on July 30.
The Stephen Colbert-hosted comedy show was originally launched as a parody of conservative political punditry — and shows like “The O’Reilly Factor” do not make a habit of hosting music performances. But “The Report” circus has expanded into musical realms, often with its sonorous host joining in. John Legend, Neil Young, R.E.M., Tony Bennett, Peter Frampton, Willie Nelson, Barry Manilow, John Mellencamp, the Roots and Carole King have all performed on the show.
Cool. Here’s a video of Rush playing “Tom Sawyer,” albeit not on “The Colbert Report.”
Pornography is very popular these days with the American working class (Woo! Stimulus checks!).
But that does not make it FCC approved. And it certainly is not an acceptable mixer with children’s rugby in New Zealand. But that’s what parents and fans of the kid’s sport were treated to while watching a live broadcast of “Grassroots Rugby” on the New Zealand television channel Prime.
A spokesman for Prime Television on Monday blamed a mixup in “distribution processes” for the error which inserted the hardcore segment in the regular program “Grassroots Rugby.”
The segment was intended to air on an adult pay-per-view channel.
Yeah, so, um, whoops? On the bright side of things, at least it puts the whole Janet Jackson - Nipplegate thing in perspective. Because, apparently, this was not just a little side boob getting flashed, it was the full hardcore pornography.
The downside is parents are going to complain and steer their kids away from your station. The upshot, though, is that by combining kids’ sports and porn, Prime has corned the market on the coveted “creepjob” demographic.
And now the totally work safe video (sorry…) of the not so thrilled parents being interviewed.
