Vintage Quote of the Day — Alanis Morissette Explains “My Humps” Video

“I was in the studio with (producer) Guy Sigsworth and he would say, ‘What horse from the apocalypse are you bringing in today, Alanis?’ Because every song was this tsunami of emotions. So I said, ‘I wish I could just write a really simple song – a song like My Humps.’ Then we had a pregnant pause, looked at each other, and said, ‘All right, let’s do it!’ Within moments we were recording the piano version of it, and within a week we were shooting the video in my garage here at my house.” Alanis Morissette, on the inspiration behind her “My Humps” cover (no pun intended). Watch below.

Video: David Spade Makes Fun of The Bachelor — Hilarious!

David Spade hit it out of the park with his Funny or Die spoof on The Bachelor’s Ben Flajnik. Though he’s a little too good-looking to pull it off, Spade’s really honed in on Flajnik’s anger-filled personality, saying, “I’m secretly a dick, but no one’s gonna find out until after they get their ring.” Since I’ve been saying for months that Flajnik has anger issues, I found Spade’s spoof especially entertaining. Watch below.

Ali Landry Tells Wendy Williams Mario Lopez Cheated — GASP!

When Ali Landry filed for an annulment just two weeks after marrying Mario Lopez, people speculated he cheated on her. Neither party confirmed it, until Mario Lopez went on Howard Stern and basically said he only married Landry because he “was given an ultimatum.” He admitted to cheating, but he showed zero remorse. I always wondered why Landry didn’t take the opportunity to publicly bash him, because after all, what’s the point of being famous if you can’t bash your exes on national television? Apparently, Landry finally got the celebrity-memo, and she finally discussed her breakup with Wendy Williams. Watch below.

American Idol Producers Confront Jermaine Jones On Air — Immoral?

This post is difficult to write because of my Dishmaster bias. I’ve met Nigel Lythgoe, and he’s one of the coolest, nicest guys in this business. That being said, I think he made the wrong decision in airing his conversation with Jermaine Jones. It’s absolutely disgusting to take a troubled kid and expose his dirty laundry on a national forum in what was akin to a cross-examination. This should have taken place off the air. It’s too personal, and there comes a point where it’s more important to be a human being than a producer. Watch below.

Jon Hamm Responds to Kim Kardashian — Still Thinks She’s Dumb

Jon Hamm replied to Kim Kardashian’s twitter-outrage over calling her stupid, saying, “It’s surprising to me that it has become remotely a story. I don’t know Ms. Kardashian, I know her public persona. What I said was meant to be more on pervasiveness of something in our culture, not personal, but she took offense to it and that is her right. Something tells me that Jon Hamm watches Keeping up With the Kardashians, because he seems fairly certain of his opinion. Notice how nothing in his statement involved, “I don’t think she’s dumb?” It’s a pretty hilarious feud actually. They should invent a new game of throwing electronic-twitter-tomatoes back and forth.

Jim Rash at The Groundlings — Kills It!!!

Not a day goes by where I don’t appreciate living in Los Angeles. My most recent appreciation is sparked by my night at The Groundlings to see The Crazy Uncle Joe Show, a long-form improv-comedy show that is based on suggestions from the crowd. Though every cast member of The Groundlings is astoundingly talented, Jim Rash stole the show tonight. If you don’t know Rash, aside from an Oscar winning resume, he’s the guy who made fun of Angelina Jolie’s ridiculous leg-pose at the Academy Awards by sticking out his own leg on stage. I didn’t realize at the time that his sharp decision to poke fun at Jolie isn’t surprising given his stint at The Groundlings, which involves a million sharp comedic choices in the span of an hour. It’s no wonder that Saturday Night Live has so many cast members from The Groundlings. These guys are incredible.

Leah Remini Claims Sharon Osbourne had her Fired from ‘The Talk’ — Osbourne Responds


Leah Remini finally broke her silence about being fired from The Talk, and she’s placing the blame exclusively on Sharon Osbourne. Remini said, “Sharon thought me and Holly were ‘Ghetto’, (her words) we were not funny, awkward and didn’t know ourselves . . . . She had us fired.” Osbourne insists otherwise saying:

In response to Leah Remini’s continuous comments that I had her fired from [The Talk], let me just go on the record to say I had absolutely nothing to do [with] her departure from the show & have no idea why she continues to take to Twitter to spread this false gossip . . . . Leah knows that I have never been in the position to hire or fire anyone on the show . . . . My only wish is that Leah would just stop all this negative, unprofessional, and childish behavior . . . . It’s been seven months. It’s time to move on. Leah is a very talented actress and I only wish her happiness and success. I know that better things are to come if she can just get beyond all this negativity.”

I have to side with Sharon Osbourne on this. Regardless of Sharon’s personal relationshps and influence, everyone knows that the network is exclusively responsible for picking-up options (A.K.A — renewing someone’s contract). While it might be true that Sharon didn’t want to work with Remini and expressed that to the network, it’s ultimately the network’s decision about which side to take. And furthermore, networks do not take kindly to being bossed around, so I highly doubt they would abide by Sharon stomping her foot. In an industry that’s akin to a high school clique, it’s important to maintain relationships, even when that clique burned you (see Tom Cruise & Sumner Redstone). It’s therefore not a smart decision to mouth-off on Twitter.

“The key to owning your own house is that you never have to suck d*ck if you don’t want to.” Whitney Cummings, on the joys of being financially independent from your man.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Howard Stern Responds to Elle MacPherson’s Anti-Semitic Remark — “It Was Weird”

Howard Stern responded to Elle MacPherson’s anti-Semitic comment today, saying, “It did strike me as odd. I didn’t get offended by it. But it did take me aback.” Stern said that he “felt like [he] was back in high school and one of the popular girls was making fun of [him].” Robin Quivers then chimed in, saying, “Yes, she was very mean-girlish.” Though I appreciate Stern’s effort to be kind to MacPherson by downplaying the issue, I still maintain that it was an anti-Semitic remark. When you talk about cultural stereotypes with a negative undertone, you tread on thin ice, especially when it’s not your religion your discussing. And furthermore, she mentioned his religion one too many times for it to be ignored. I’m not suggesting she’s a bigot. But she needs to be more responsible.
