As expected, Ricky Gervais delivered the goods at the 2012 Golden Globes. Though I found him to be a bit tamer than anticipated, he still took some much-loved jabs at Hollywood’s biggest stars, including Johnny Depp, whom Gervais asked if he’s seen The Tourist. Depp was a good sport, and confessed that he hadn’t. He also compared the Golden Globes to the Oscars only “without the esteem?” Watch below.

Nancy Grace Interviews Joran Van Der Sloot’s “Friend” — Yells at Him
There are days when Nancy Grace annoys me. But today is not that day. She interviewed Joran Van Der Sloot’s friend about Stephany Flores’ murder, and laid into him for suggesting that Flores was at fault because she “provoked” Van Der Sloot, who he believes was suffering from Post Traumatic Stress. Though it’s obvious that anyone who supports Van Der Sloot is likely a potential murderer themselves, the clip below is still worth watching to see Grace’s disgust at his outrageous assertions.

Fred Durst on a Juice Fast — Dumbest Idea Ever?
I often meet people that decide to undergo a juice fast and think, “You’re really stupid. What kind of an idiot buys into that new-age garbage about body cleansing your toxins? And furthermore, I no longer want to speak to you because you’re dumb. And I hate dumb people.” But my external monologue often is, “Wow, you are so disciplined. I’ve always wanted to do that but never had the guts. Good for you!” As it turns out, Fred Durst is amongst the individuals in need of a tongue-lashing from my internal monologue. In fact, he’s worse than most, considering his fast is around thirty days, and he keeps “cheating” with cookies. Perhaps the fast will reset his brain instead of his body? To read his hilarious blog about the very difficult process click the link below, and grab some popcorn while you’re at it (it will be even more enjoyable that way).
David Cross on Conan — Makes Anti-Semitic Comment
Just because you’re Jewish doesn’t mean you’re allowed to make anti-Semitic comments. David Cross appeared on Conan to discuss his new film, Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked, and it’s clear he hated the experience. Though I love when an actor is brutally honest about mistreatment on set, he crossed the line when he said that one of the producers is the “Personification of what people think about when they think negatively about Jews.”
Kelly Clarkson Joins The Voice — American Idol is Smiling
 |
When I heard that Kelly Clarkson would appear on The Voice, I thought, “Wow, that’s really strange. Isn’t she the chick that won American Idol?” As it turns out, I’m not the only person intrigued by the choice. American Idol programming executive Mike Darnell said, “It’s a compliment to Idol, that other shows want to use our superstars on their shows. We’re not hiring a lot of people on The Voice to be on our show.” It is a little strange to tout Kelly Clarkson as famous enough to mentor up-and-comers, considering that fame is solely attributed to a competing show. I bet the development executives in charge of her selection hadn’t even thought about it until the media brought it to their attention.
Quote of the Day — Matt Grant Trashes Shayne Lamas
“Did I find true love on the show? Um, no. Not one little bit. I proposed to a woman who was about a foot and a half shorter than me, who had nothing in common with me, and thought there were palm trees in London. Did I make a mistake? Yes. Did I look like an idiot? Yes. Do I regret it? A little bit.” Matt Grant on whether he regrets proposing to his ex-fiance, Shayne Lamas.
The Bachelor Ratings are Down — Ben Flajnik Stinks!@
When The Bachelorette’s Ashley Hebert reduced her romantic prospects down to a select few, I thought, “ABC is screwed on their next Bachelor. Everyone Ashley likes is boring and unattractive.” The network often picks a reject from the previous season to kick off the new season, because the viewers are already familiar with the star, which increases the likelihood of immediate ratings. But what do you do when the reject lacks the star power necessary to carry the series? In ABC’s case the answer is — cast him anyways. And they’ve paid the price with bad ratings. They should have cast someone entirely new, but I’m sure the powers-that-be felt it was too risky, considering their decision to cast the newbie Matt Grant led to its worst ratings of all time. It was a lose-lose. Perhaps Ashley Hubert should apologize to ABC for her taste in men.
