It looks like Shonda Rimes is up to her old tricks again. And by “old tricks,” I mean taking what was once a fun show and turning it into something so depressing that you want to kill yourself by the end of the episode. Watch a clip from next week’s episode below.

My Favorite Song From Tonight’s ‘Glee’ – Jesse’s Girl
Erin Andrews Responds to Elizabeth Hasselbeck: "That Bitch Never Called"
Erin Andrews responded to Elizabeth Hasselbeck’s tearful apology on ‘The View.’ In case you missed it, Hasselbeck said that she took the advice of her five year old daughter and called Andrews to ask forgiveness for basically saying that she’s a slut – followed by a reference to her stalker. Well, Andrews calls bull-shit. She said that she never spoke to Hasselbeck. Andrews was admittedly angry about the initial comments, stating that she cried when she heard it. She said that her biggest complaint is that Hasselbeck “made a mockery of something [she’s] lived through this last year.” She felt like it was a “slap in the face for victims of stalkers and victims of sexual predators.” This isn’t the first time that Hasselbeck has been called out for lying on ‘The View.’ When she and Rosie O’Donnell had their infamous fight, Hasselbeck claimed that they spoke and made up. O’Donnell refuted the claims, saying that even though Hasselbeck called her house, she didn’t answer the phone and the two never talked. Watch Hasselbeck’s apology below.

American Idol Conspiracy in the Works – The Judges Sabotage Casey James
I just finished watch American Idol, and once again found myself infuriated. Casey James had a fantastic performance with ‘Mrs. Robinson,’ and yet the judges didn’t like it. Either they are trying to influence America to to kick him out, or they are incredibly stupid. I think it might be the ladder. Did I mention that Kara DioGuardi is extremely irritating? Can she at least make an effort to dress a little hotter? She looked like a school principal. Watch Casey’s performance.

Mtv Will Replace the ‘Jersey Shore’ Cast Next Season
Get your picket signs ready. Mtv plans on replacing the entire cast of ‘Jersey Shore.’ What will Snooki do now? No reason was given for the decision, but my guess is it’s more financial than creative. Mtv probably attributes the show’s success to the concept rather than the specific cast members, and they think they can strike gold twice with less overhead. They know that the current cast will request a major salary increase at the end of Season 2, and so they figure they’ll sack them and get some cheaper nobodys. Big mistake guys.
Ramin Satoodeh Defends his Newsweek Article – He’s Still a Doofus
Ramin Satoodeh finally responded to the uproar about his review in Newsweek of ‘Promises, Promises.’ As you might expect, his explanation is even less coherent than the review itself. He basically said that he stands by his complaint that Sean Hayes and Kristin Chenoweth don’t have chemistry. Because Mr. Satoodeh doesn’t seem to understand what this outrage is really about, I’m going to break it down for him in the most basic terms possible. The problem isn’t that you said Hayes and Chenoweth lack chemistry and don’t seem in love, it’s that you blamed that lack of chemistry on Hayes being gay, as if it’s impossible for an openly gay man to successfully play straight. I thought Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler had no chemistry in ‘The Bounty Hunter,’ yet I don’t think either actor is a homosexual. Do you? Watch his explanation.
Taylor Momsen Promotes her Album in England – Wearing Lingerie
Taylor Momsen appeared on “This Morning” show in England to promote her band, ‘Pretty Reckless,” wearing a disturbing outfit for a 16 year old. First of all, I’m not sure why her band is touring at all when she’s sixteen. Second, I don’t even think that outfit would look good on a 25 year old let alone a young teenager. She looks pretty out of it, and the interview takes an uncomfortable turn when she says that she’s had a rough life and music “saved her.” I’m not sure what is going on behind the scenes, all I know is that the interview slightly unnerved me. Watch below.
A New Show About "JAPS" is in the Works – I’m Offended
Shows based on offensive stereotypes never bothered me much – until now. Why? Because I’m jewish and they are making a show about “JAPS.” I’m admittedly a hypocrite. I remember in college when my friend freely threw around the word “JAP.” So when I told him it’s an offensive term, he turned to my Japanese roomate for confirmation that I was being ridiculous. I think you could guess her response. Apparently I need to make some phone calls and explain to a few more people why that is a disgusting word. An unnamed production company is in search of “super Jappy groups of friends” for a new reality show. If you also feel the need to educate these producers, please email info@jennhoffman.com. I wonder if they made up that email address to dodge criticism.
Sarah Jessica Parker Insists that She and Kim Cattrall Don’t Hate Each Other
In Sarah Jessica Parker’s new interview with Marie Claire, she was asked the invetiable question. Is it true that she and Kim Cattrall hate each other? No, insists Parker. So why the rumors? “Because the press has to put women in these boxes,” says Parker. “Rather than show them as the movie portrays them: working together and being powerful.” While it’s true that the press is filled with some blood sucking maggots, this particular rumor happens to have some merit. There was a time when the ‘Sex and the City’ film was shelved, and Kim Cattrall was to supposedly to blame. In fact, Kristin Davis admitted on Letterman that everyone was on board for the original film except one person. Cattrall’s camp even released statements to the press that she had no interest in doing the film. Cattrall said that she turned it down because “the timing wasn’t right.” Though I’m guessing she was either offered more money or she realized that it was probably a good career move to continue the franchise.
