Quote of the Day — The Washington Post Hates Maroon 5’s New Album

“Overexposed is a hit-seeking missile that doesn’t just slaughter Maroon 5’s reputation for sincerity (which was pretty nonexistent anyway), it festoons its corpse with glitter, hairspray and Hello Kitty stickers. It seems more like a collaboration between Swedish hitmakers and AutoTune than between Levine and members of his band, who apparently exist, but it’s a small price to pay.” An excerpt Allison Stewart’s very cutting and well-written review for The Washington Post on Maroon 5’s new record.

Rielle Hunter on Good Morning America — Confirms John Edwards Breakup

Rielle Hunter still fascinates me. I’m always intrigued by the woman a man leaves his wife for, and I imagine that if I were ever left for another woman, I’d want her to be fantastic so that I could justify his departure in my head. But Rielle Hunter? I just don’t get it. And furthermore, I’d encourage all men to learn a lesson from this about using discretion with their extra-marital affairs. No one wants their personal business exposed on Good Morning America — or anywhere else.

New Katy Perry ‘Part of Me Poster — Adorable

I knew Katy Perry would have a sustaining career when I heard her on Howard Stern. She was business savvy, intelligent, and funny. And the branding for her new film proves that even if she’s not the one making her business choices, she certainly picked someone great. Look at the poster below.

Real Housewives of New Jersey Clip — Theresa v. Jacqueline

The only concerning thing in the clip below is that Jacqueline is unable to express any level of emotion due to her excessive botox (allegedly, of course). Also, she’s incredibly annoying. In what world do you require your “best friend” to confess all of her financial issues? Theresa’s financial status is no one’s business except all of America’s when she decides to reveal it in a confessional. Until that very private moment, Jacqueline should back-off. Watch below.

Chris Cuomo Interviews Rielle Hunter — Still Seems Nuts

I’m not sure what releveant data-points to take from the clip below, other than that Chris Cuomo is extremely attractive, and Rielle Hunter is nuts. There’s a very powerful lesson to be learned here though, and it’s that you shouldn’t sleep with the wrong girl, because if you do, she’ll likely write a tell-all book about your affair. Is nothing sacred anymore? Can’t a guy get his rocks off in private? Oh wait — he’d have to hire a hooker for that (see Elliot Spitzer & Charlie Sheen). Watch 20/20 tonight at 10/9 central on ABC to get the full interview.

CBS Issues Fake Press Release — Takes Aim At ‘Glass House’

The CBS war with ABC over ‘Glass House’ took an unexpected turn when CBS issued a fake press release mocking ABC. Though I think every show is essentially a rip-off of another show, CBS argues that this is an especially unique carbon copy, given that ABC used CBS staff members to duplicate the format. Read and enjoy the press release below. At least someone has a sense of humor. And speaking of a sense of humor, CBS certainly got the last laugh when ‘Glass House’ tanked in the ratings.

CBS ANNOUNCES DEVELOPMENT OF “DANCING ON THE STARS,” AN EXCITING AND COMPLETELY ORIGINAL REALITY PROGRAM THAT OWES ITS CONCEPT AND EXECUTION TO NOBODY AT ALL

Los Angeles, June 21, 2012 – Subsequent to recent developments in the creative and legal community, CBS Television today felt it was appropriate to reveal the upcoming launch of an exciting, ground-breaking and completely original new reality program for the CBS Television Network.

The dazzling new show, DANCING ON THE STARS, will be broadcast live from the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, and will feature moderately famous and sort of well-known people you almost recognize competing for big prizes by dancing on the graves of some of Hollywood’s most iconic and well-beloved stars of stage and screen.

The cemetery, the first in Hollywood, was founded in 1899 and now houses the remains of Andrew “Fatty” Arbuckle, producer Cecil B. DeMille, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Paul Muni, Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel, George Harrison of the Beatles and Dee Dee Ramone of the Ramones, among many other great stars of stage, screen and the music business. The company noted that permission to broadcast from the location is pending, and that if efforts in that regard are unsuccessful, approaches will be made to Westwood Village Memorial Park, where equally scintillating luminaries are interred.

“This very creative enterprise will bring a new sense of energy and fun that’s totally unlike anything anywhere else, honest,” said a CBS spokesperson, who also revealed that the Company has been working with a secret team for several months on the creation of the series, which was completely developed by the people at CBS independent of any other programming on the air. “Given the current creative and legal environment in the reality programming business, we’re sure nobody will have any problem with this title or our upcoming half-hour comedy for primetime, POSTMODERN FAMILY.”

Ann Curry Ousted From ‘The Today Show?’

Its hard to articulate what makes someone likable, but the public will certainly make its feelings clear. Ann Curry learned that the hard way when she transitioned from news anchor to co-host of ‘The Today Show’ after Meredith Viera’s departure, and the show subsequently lost its ratings war with ‘Good Morning America’ for the first time in 16 years. Though it might not be Curry’s fault, the network likely blamed her. It’s now rumored she’ll be replaced. The saddest part of this story is that she’ll be out of her job entirely. Had she just been content as a news anchor, she’d have an un-threatened gig. Perhaps her and Conan O’Brien should go for coffee.
