I’ve watched many episodes of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, and the clip below might be the only time I’ve ever seen “the real” Kim Kardashian. She’s constantly acting like a deer in the headlights, who is trying to navigate her crazy family. On the season finale of her reality show, she actually abandoned her ridiculous, soft-spoken baby voice to have a genuine conversation with her ex-boyfriend, Reggie Bush. Personally, I’m not sure it was appropriate to have the phone call aired on television, but if she chose not to air it, then she would just be adding to the list of fake episodes that she’s already filmed. Plus, Reggie Bush had to consent to having his phone call on television, which means I don’t exactly feel sorry for him. The biggest revelation in the video below, is that Reggie dumped Kim, despite her previous proclamation that it was “mutual.”

Today’s Question: Are Sex Scenes Awkward Because The Wife Shows Up?
Actors are constantly whining about how uncomfortable sex scenes are, and interviewers always scoff at the claim. Actors insist that no one wants to fool around with a total stranger while the crew stands around eating sandwiches. Since so many actors end up dating their co-stars, I often wonder if this claim is an urban legend that keeps getting perpetuated. Denise Richards might have revealed the real reason behind the discomfort while promoting her new show, Blue Mountain State, on Howard Stern today. Richards told Stern that a scene in the show required her to place her hand on her co-star’s penis, and she insisted that he wasn’t erect. When Stern accused him of being gay, Richards explained that he likely didn’t get erect because his girlfriend was standing on set, watching the scene. Michelle Pfeiffer said the same, joking that she often waves to the girlfriend while engaging in sex scenes with a man. If I were an actor on set, I’d be mighty angry if my co-star’s significant other showed up to watch me like a hawk. They should be banned from the set.
Denise Richards Talks Charlie Sheen on Joy Behar
Denise Richards has been on my radar lately, mostly because she changed her image so drastically in the press. For a long time, Richards was accused of stealing her best friend’s husband, and no matter how many times she insisted otherwise, she was trounced by the media (including the very judgmental Matt Lauer). With Charlie Sheen’s arrest, I assumed that Richards would re-hash her life with him, and further confirm that she was right to file for divorce. Instead, she has stayed quiet, insisting that she was “there for him in the hospital,” and she has some very beautiful memories of their life together. I officially love her. Good job handling this mess Denise. Watch the video below to hear her discuss the sensitive topic.
Joy Behar on Sharron Angle: “This B*tch is Going to Hell”
The View discussed Sharron Angle’s racist new ad, and Joy Behar didn’t mince words, calling Sharron Angle a “bitch,” and saying she will “go to hell.” She also invited her to “show the ad in New York,” because New Yorkers might have a different reaction than Nevada. I admit I had not seen the ad until watching The View, and I was shocked at how disgusting it is. It’s obvious that just about anything goes these days, including racism. Watch below and judge for yourself. Will Sharron Angle “go to hell,” as Joy Behar suggests?
Denise Richards Tells Howard Stern She’s “In a Good Place” With Charlie Sheen
Denise Richards appeared on Howard Stern just in time for him to ask about Charlie Sheen’s recent hospitalization and alleged cocaine use. Unfortunately, the news broke about two minutes before Richards arrived, and I’m not sure if Stern got word in time for the interview. Translation? — He didn’t ask. However, he did ask why they were in New York together with the kids, and Richards said she took their daughters on their first trip to The Big Apple, and Sheen wanted to join. She also revealed that she told Sheen he should “remain single forever,” but she sees him ignoring her advice and getting married again. Another very funny admission is that her lawyers suggested counseling with Sheen prior to divorcing, and the therapist dropped them as a couple because “there was nothing she could do for them.” She also confessed that she’s going to ask a therapist how to have a sit-down discussion with her daughters when their old enough to understand her “interesting life.” I actually hated Denise Richards before she started to appear on Howard Stern. Who would have thought that Howard Stern could clean up your image?
UPDATE: Charlie Sheen is officially headed back to rehab. If only that interview happened a few hours later.
The New Hollywood Spin — “It’s Not a Remake . . . Even Though We Remade it”
Hollywood gets a lot of negative press for constantly remaking movies. The creative executives at movie studios enjoy the remakes because the promotion is easy, and the risks are limited. But no matter how you spin it — a remake is usually a creative cop-out, and because there are so many, the movie industry has begun to dig its grave. So how do you solve the problem? Well, you remake a movie, and then you release statements to the press about how your film is not actually a remake. Confused? Allow me to provide an example. Tony Scott, the director of Tom Cruise’s Top Gun, is looking to make another Top Gun without Tom Cruise. It’s being painted as a “sequel.” When asked about the project, Scott said, I don’t want to do a remake. I don’t want to do a reinvention. I want to do a new movie.” And that’s not the first time I’ve heard this spin. A new Jason Bourne movie is in the works, and Matt Damon won’t star in it. Tony Gilroy will direct the new film, saying, “this is not a reboot or a recast or a prequel.” Wow, Tony — perhaps you can define what this is then, considering its mighty confusing to make a Bourne movie without Jason Bourne. As for Matt Damon, he isn’t pleased with the news. Damon told Parade that he’s not in it, but “Universal just wants to call everything the ‘Bourne’ something. So I guess they are trying to make another franchise.” Perhaps I have to start coming up with more creative terms for this type of thing. How about . . . ripoff?

The Beach Boys Lip-Sync? — Too Bad it’s Not “The Beach Boys”
“The Beach Boys” are under fire for lip-synching at a concert in Australia, and I’m shocked that the real scandal isn’t the fact that it’s not actually The Beach Boys that performed at the concert. Everyone knows that two of the original members of the group have died (Carl and Dennis Wilson), and the other two surviving members (Al Jardine and Brian Wilson) don’t perform with the group anymore. That leaves only Mike Love, who parades around with his sad little tribute band, using the name “The Beach Boys.” How do you call yourself by that name without Brian Wilson, the true brains behind the band? It’s almost insulting that Mike Love gets away with this, especially after he’s had a lot of fun suing the other members, claiming that he had more of a song-writing influence than he was originally credited for. I guess Wilson and Jardine don’t want to play in the sandbox with the litigious toddler. By the way, wasn’t it Mike Love who opposed Pet Sounds, arguably one of the greatest albums in music history? Yeah — he’s the guy I want to see live. Click the link below to watch the alleged lip-syncing.
Did Mike Love Lip-Sync?
Update: Mike love responded to this controversy saying, “We do not lip sync. I want to make it 100 per cent clear that The Beach Boys do not and never have lip-synced their concerts. They have been touring since 1961 and generally have performed in more than a hundred cities a year since the beginning. I guess we should take it as a compliment that it sounded so good.” Is it possible for Mike Love to get any more annoying? Your band has not been touring since 1961 Mike! This is not The Beach Boys!
Did You Know: The Social Network Twins Are Played by One Person?
A friend of mine told me that the Winklevoss twins from The Social Network are played by one actor, and I rolled my eyes at his stupidity. I condescendingly told him that it would be impossible, because most of the shots had both twins. After looking on IMDB, I discovered that I owed my friend a serious apology for my scornful eye-roll. Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss are played by Armie Hammer with the help of some serious movie magic. Apparently, an actor named Josh Pence played the other twin in every scene where the brothers were seen together. Then, Armie Hammer’s face was essentially super-imposed over James Pence’s face, so Pence’s acting skills won’t get credit from the general public. It’s even more interesting that Pence landed the part before finding out that his face would be “morphed” to match Hammer’s, which Pence admits required him to “swallow his ego.” Both actors did get the opportunity to meet the real Winklevoss twins though, which ironically began through Facebook.
Katie Couric Insults Glee Photo-shoot — What Would Dan Rather Say?
I’ve certainly noted my objection to the sexy Glee photo-shoot for GQ Magazine, but must Katie Couric discuss this on her CBS newscast? Isn’t she supposed to be reporting “real news?” I wasn’t aware that hard-hitting news had now become about Glee actresses posing in their underwear. I wonder if Dan Rather saw the video below, and wept.
