Lena Dunham Hosts SNL — How’d She do?

Lena Dunham continues to grow on me. As the host of Saturday Night Live, she seemed incredibly at ease, delivering her lines as if she wrote them all herself. If she was nervous, it didn’t show. Watch her opening monologue, followed by my favorite sketch about an interrupting GPS.

Kristen Bell & Dax Shepard v. Paparazzi Agency: Watch Access Hollywood Video

Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard have made it their personal mission to protect celebrity children from paparazzi pictures, and they’ve succeeded in stopping many magazines from purchasing those pictures. It’s clear the celebrity couple have done their research about the uphill battle in changing the laws associated with this horrific practice, so they’ve instead waged war on the magazines themselves, including many of the photo-agencies responsible for perpetuating the practice.

The power couple took their battle to Access Hollywood, where they directly confronted two members of a paparazzi agency, AKM-GSI CEO Steve Ginsburg and AKM-GSI reporter Christian Zimmerman. According to Bell, “If the paparazzi were no longer getting paid, they would stop hunting [her] children.”

Watch the video below, and take a moment to consider refraining from purchasing magazines and reading blogs that publish pictures of children. Here at The Dishmaster, I’d like to make it clear that I have never and will never publish any paparazzi pictures, including those of children. As an attorney, I am well aware that the paparazzi have a constitutional right to take those pictures. That being said, they are constitutional vultures.

American Idol Top 12: Keith Urban v. Harry Connick Jr.

If you’re not watching this season of American Idol, you must start. Harry Connick Jr.’s arrival has upped the ante for the other judges, who now give specific, constructive feedback to each contestant. My favorite moment from the Top 12 came from their critique of Jessica Meuse, who apathetically sang ‘White Flag’ by Dido, resulting in a harsh critique from “Hatchet Harry,” who explained that it’s essential to sing in tune. Keith Urban then countered Harry’s critique with his own spin, saying that singing with passion can compensate for pitch problems, followed by Urban’s extemporaneous belt into the microphone to illustrate his point. Watch below.

Oprah OWNs Lindsay Lohan — “Cut the Bull Sh*t”

There are many addicts who will never beat their addiction, as we’ve sadly come to discover from the deaths of some of our greatest talents. Lindsay Lohan, an admitted drug addict, received an opportunity from Oprah to revitalize her career, and many have predicted it’s a lost cause. Given the multitude of stories about her return to clubs, it’s possible they are right. When you watch the video below, you’ll see Lindsay return to her worst, with a noticeably different appearance that reeks of turmoil. Oprah took some time to lovingly scold the star for her endless disrespect of her staff, but Lohan’s hallow gaze speaks volumes. Watch below.

Chris Harrison Reacts to Juan Pablo — “He’s His Own Worst Enemy”

“No, I didn’t feel bad for him at all. He’s a big boy and has made his own bed. Juan Pablo can be his own worst enemy. Whether this was a good fit or not or the best decision, I feel like he’s fought it. For me, he gets really defensive and short and that’s when he says, “OK” or “perfect,” whereas normally you’d have a response. He either gets defensive or goes into dad mode and he talks to them like they’re his daughter, and says things like, “Don’t be sad,” and touches their hair.” Chris Harrison, on whether he felt bad for Juan Pablo during the Women Tell All.”
