Sex and the City 2 Cast Interview With Entertainment Weekly – Read the Highlights

I’d recommend getting the entire interview because they discuss the history of the show.  But read the highlights below.

Sarah Jessica Parker on her favorite scene
“[I]t’s the “up the butt” one.  If I had to pick one scene that people are like, “That’s what that show is!” in the worst possible way, it’s that one.  But in the best way, too.”

Kristin Davis on her first day with Sarah Jessica Parker
“Sarah Jessica had this big thing of Krispy Kreme doughnuts,a nd she invited me to her trailer.  She said, “Let’s hang out and get to know each other.”  We had 18 hour days, so we bonded pretty quickly.  The most famous person on the set, you take their lead.”

David Eigenberg (Steve) on auditioning for the show
“I remember having to fake an orgasm in their office once.  That was awful.”

Jason Lewis (Smith) on his first day with the show
“I was nervous as hell . . . .  I was supposed to be objectified by 30 or 40 women.  It was like a kid going to his first day at a new school . . . and I realized I didn’t know a single soul.  And then Kristin Davis came by and swooped me up.”

Chris Noth (Big) on the show in general
“it was just fucking funny in a way that’s irreverent, in a way that TV never was before.”

The Dish – Tabloid Review

Mel Gibson denies that he cheated on Oksana Grigorieva with porn star Violet Kowal while Grigorieva was pregnant.  Grigorieva has yet to confirm the reports, but she originally told the press that they split “suddenly and recently,” and the “truth will come out.”  Gibson is such a stand up guy, I can’t possibly believe he’d be a cheater.
Anne Hathaway’s new boyfriend Adam Shulman, is being accused of theft.  He allegedly walked off with a mural painted by street artist Mr. Brainwash.  The mural was on a building in Manhattan’s Meatpacking district.  If this story is true, she sure knows how to pick them.    
Larry King and his wife Shawn King have reconciled.  To quote the great Howard Stern, “why get half of Larry’s money when you could have all of it.”
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt may not film the series finale of ‘The Hills.’  I suppose if you want to stay on a television show, you should refrain from accusing the Executive Producer of sexual harassment.
Britney Spears and her boyfriend/manager Jason Trawick have “split professionally.”  They are officially no longer mixing business with pleasure.  He’s just her boyfriend now.
Former Bachelorette Jen Schefft is pregnant.  Love really does exist outside of television. 
Matt Lauer and his wife, Annette Roque, have split amidst reports that he cheated.  Lauer reminds me of that dorky kid in high school that never got the girl and now that he’s famous he wants as much pussy as humanly possible. 

My Favorite Song From Tonight’s ‘Glee’ – Jesse’s Girl

It’s hard to pick which performance I liked best from tonight’s episode.  They were all incredible.  Since I must select one though (due to my self-imposed blog instructions), I have to say that Cory Monteith won the night with his rendition of Rick Springfield’s ‘Jesse’s Girl.’  Listen below.

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.

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.
