Did Robin Thicke Degrade Women? Does it Matter? — Listen to ‘Blurred Lines’

I’m not sure how to measure success, but 53 million views on YouTube sounds like a start. As for the controversy surrounding “Blurred Lines” being degrading to women, I just don’t care too much. Plus, it’s a catchy tune, and that counts for a lot in my land. Watch Thicke, T.I., and Pharrell degrade women in style.

Howard Stern Takes Over Jimmy Fallon — Offers Tonight Show Advice

Howard Stern appeared on Jimmy Fallon and, true to form, took over his show. He arrived with some sage advice, telling Fallon that he needs to amp up his “killer instinct” to compete with Kimmel and sack his beloved “game week,” which Stern called boring. In fact, I was astonished to discover the Fallon didn’t take Stern’s advice in the moment, and instead opted to keep in game week rather than prolonging his Stern interview for a third segment (something most late-night hosts do if the interview is going well). Here’s my advice to Fallon: If you going to secure the king of all media for your show, you should listen — and GAME WEEK SUCKS. Watch below.

Danielle Bradbery Wins The Voice — Blake Shelton is a Happy Man

Danielle Bradbery won The Voice, and she sure deserved it. The Voice desperately needed a main-stream star, because after three seasons, they had yet to compete with American Idol’s track record. I think it’s safe to say they’re now in the clear. Danielle is going to be huge. Watch her top performances below.

Katy Perry Covers Vogue: Says Russell Brand Dumped Her Via Text

20130618-105520.jpgWell this is one for the record books. An A-list celebrity actually disclosed something personal without slinging mud. When asked about her ex-husband, Russell Brand, Katy Perry told Vogue, “He’s a very smart man, a magical man and I was in love with him when I married him. Let’s just say I haven’t heard from him since he texted me saying he was divorcing me December 31, 2011.” I’m sure Brand has his own side, but that certainly makes me feel better about some of my own personal breakup stories.

Russell Brand on ‘Morning Joe’ — Anchors Have Massive Meltdown — WATCH

It’s always wonderful to begin an interview with a daft declaration about never having heard of the guest. It’s even better to treat one’s guest like a monkey in a zoo, refrain from asking any questions at all, and turn to your colleagues who are equally idiotic. Watch Russell Brand on Morning Joe below. If you didn’t think the guy was talented before, you’ll probably change your mind when you see his kind attempt to bail out these blundering fools.

Marissa Powell Flubs Her Speech & Guiliana Rancic is VERY Skinny

While there’s certainly a lot of talk surrounding Marissa Powell’s flubbed answer at the Miss USA pageant, my concern actually surrounds Giuliana Rancic’s emaciated frame. I realize she’s been through a lot, and skinny-critiques are now looped in with overweight ones as part of the anti-digital-bullying movement, but something looks very wrong. Have we learned nothing from the curvy girls?! Dear God she looks thin.

Tom Arnold & Wife Discuss Infertility — WATCH KATIE CLIP NOW

I’ve always loved Tom Arnold. I watched his standup at a young age with my family at the Miami Improv, and I’ve followed his career ever since. It also helps that he’s one of Howard Stern’s best guests, and the Hollywood rumor mill insists he’s a nice guy. So when I saw that he finally got his dream baby, I was very happy for him. Watch a clip of his conversation with Katie Couric. You can see the full interview on June 18th.
