Every so often Howard Stern picks on Kathie Lee Gifford, and it’s always radio magic. Here’s his current rant in a nutshell: Kathie Lee graciously took the time on The Today Show to acknowledge the “good deed” of a popular kid in high school who sat at an unpopular kid’s lunch table. Apparently, the unpopular kid is autistic, and Kathie Lee wrote a song on his behalf about being lonely and having no friends. Howard Stern jumped all over this debacle, calling Kathie Lee’s song “God Awful,” and saying it’s akin to “child abuse.” The kid even cried during the performance, which Kathie Lee attributed to her song’s moving quality, and Howard Stern attributed to calling this kid a loser on national television. Have I mentioned that I love Howard Stern? I would highly encourage you to listen to his rant below. I’d bet my two dollar bank account that you will laugh hysterically.

Jersey Shore Season 2.5 — Filmed 5 Months Ago
The new season of Jersey Shore debuts tonight, and it’s been five months in the making. Television networks usually try to debut the show relatively close to the time it was taped — but not MTV. I’m guessing they taped the show during the summer in New Jersey (because it was warm) and decided to air it after the new year for ratings purposes. Whatever the reason, I find it a bit annoying that it’s so delayed. All of the press coverage regarding the show already occurred, such as Sammi quitting the show when she watched Ronnie cheat on her in Miami. Hasn’t it been almost a year since Ronnie cheated? Will this really be fresh news when the episode airs? Alright, who am I kidding? I love Jersey Shore!
Adam Levine Poses Naked — Proves He’s In Love With Himself
There’s only two singers I’ve stopped listening to solely because of their terrible personalities. If you read my blog, you could easily guess that the lucky singers are Adam Levine and John Mayer. I stopped listening to John Mayer when he began to act ridiculous in interviews, and the Jessica Simpson debacle officially put the fork in him. I banned Adam Levine for just about the same reason. I’m aware that he’s only one member of an entire band, but he’s annoying enough for me to cut off Maroon 5 as a whole. He’s in love with himself, and his new naked ad is no exception. I’ve pulled a quote for your enjoyment. Levine said, “I spend most of my life naked. In fact, I often have to be told by the people around me that it’s inappropriate to be as naked as I am. But I live in California, where it’s always warm, so why not?” First of all Adam, I also live in California, and I can assure you that I wore a very heavy jacket today because it’s too cold for nudity. Second, aren’t you secretly a dorky Jewish guy that couldn’t get laid for most of your teenage life? I don’t know for sure — but I’m guessing. Maybe I just get angry when the Jewish guys date blond chicks — because you know — us Jewish brunettes are more attractive.
Music Spotlight On: Erik Hassle
I’m always looking for new music. I dig through Pandora and Grooveshark looking for an artist that I won’t immediately get tired of. This week, Erik Hassle joins Kate Nash and Florence + The Machine as my new find. He’s from Sweden, and his debut album, Hassle, reached #2 on the Swedish pop charts. He actually sounds a bit like Maroon 5, which I regret to admit, considering I find Adam Levine to be incredibly annoying. In fact — the less I know about Hassle the better — because everyone annoys me eventually. I’ve attached some of his songs below for your enjoyment. I recommend Don’t Bring Flowers.
Is The Bachelor’s Brad Womack Too Hard on Himself?
Brad Womack is my favorite bachelor in the history of the show. Why? Because he’s the only guy with the guts to say the much hated phrase: “I’m just not that into you.” Sure, it was a disappointing ending for a show that’s all about “love,” but he did those women a favor. So when he returned to the show, I thought the decision was genius on the part of the producers. Why not give the guy a second chance? What’s so wrong with not finding a wife in a group of 30 women? There’s about a 100 single men at every bar I attend and I have yet to find a potential suitor. So is he really a villain? If you ask Brad Womack, he’d probably say yes. The guy waxed-on about his commitment phobia, confessed his “intensive therapy,” and even met with Deanna Pappas and Jenni Croft to apologize for the ending. Deanna still seemed pissed, though I get the feeling she generally comes off that way on television, because if you read her tweets you’ll see that she’s newly engaged and never been happier. Everyone’s fine except for Brad, who presumably lived in a cave for the last three years doing self-analysis. So lighten up, Brad. And ease-up on the guy, America.

To all my loyal readers — I will be taking time off from blogging over the holidays. Thank you for your continued support and Dishmaster love. I hope you are all vacationing somewhere wonderful over the holidays. If not, please at least take the time to watch some mindless television and report back to me upon my return. See you next year!
Sherri Shepherd Sends Jesus Cards to Jews
I’ve heard Sherri Shepherd mention this before, and it’s so annoying I’m surprised I didn’t post about it the first time around. When discussing what cards to send to friends during holiday season, Shepherd says she consistently sends Christmas cards that mention Jesus because “that’s what she believes in.” When Behar asked if she sends those cards to her Jewish friends, Shepherd said yes, followed by the same ridiculous explanation. First of all, may I just say that I find it absolutely infuriating when I’m given Christmas cards? You guessed it — I’m a Jew. I don’t believe in Jesus, and I don’t want your Jesus card! Second, it’s incredibly selfish to use your own holiday as a barometer for what card to send out. Allow me to use an analogy for Sherri Shepherd. Should I give my friend who is allergic to chocolate a big box of chocolates for the holidays? After all, that’s what I eat! And if I eat chocolate, then she should too, right?
