Chelsea Handler Responds to Her Sex Tape – Watch Her Explanation

Chelsea Handler insisted on her show last night that the sex tape unearthed by Radar Online was merely an “audition tape for a comedy club.”  Ummm – I’m not sure what to make of this.  The tape was made before she made it, so it’s possible that she wasn’t seasoned enough to understand that it isn’t funny to use an actual sex tape for an audition – it’s a little disturbing.  That being said, if Chelsea is lying to save face, I give her mad kudos for coming up with the most creative explanation on the planet for a sex tape.  Hear that Kim Kardashian?  

Patrick Dempsey May Leave ‘Grey’s Anatomy’

Deadline reports that Patrick Dempsey’s contract is up at the end of next season, and he is seriously considering leaving the show.  Like Katherine Heigl, his film career has taken off since the show began, and he reportedly wants to focus on some leading man roles that he has in the pipeline.  As an aside, ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ sounds like a pretty miserable place to work.  Though the actors insist that they are like “family,” something tells me that’s a lie.  First you had the Isaiah Washington scandal, then T.R. Knight begged to get out of his contract, and finally, there was that endless drama with Katherine Heigl.  Now – Patrick Dempsey wants to leave!?  What are they not telling us?

Shobian Magnus Eliminated on ‘American Idol’ – I’m not Surprised

I am watching ‘American Idol’ this season for the same reason I slow my car down when I see an accident on the side of the road.  The show is horrible.  If you’re shocked that Siobhan was sent home, I think you can blame it on the viewers’ apathy toward just about every contestant.  The judges picked a terrible top 32, and now we are forced to pick the best of the worst.  The fact that Simon isn’t acknowledging the issue surprises me.  All I ask is that we reserve our feigned shock about this elimination to get to the heart of the issue – the show is simply unwatchable and there is no one to root for.  Watch below to hear the song that she got eliminated for, and judge for yourself.

Chelsea Handler has a Sex Tape?!

Radar Online reports that Chelsea Handler has a sex tape . . . and they’ve watched it.  Handler says that the tape was made for a comedy bit, but whoever posted the story on Radar Online swears that simply isn’t true, as he’s watched it and saw her “breasts bare and swinging during the sex act.”  I can’t figure out what’s funnier – the fact that Chelsea Handler of all people is involved in a sex tape controversy, or the thought of the creepy writer over at Radar Online watching it.  Click the link below to read the original story.

‘Glee’ is the Most Watched Scripted Show on Television

I’ve been accused of being very ‘Glee-centric’ on my blog – but to hell with it!  The show is incredible, and the public obviously shares my fervor, given that it just surpassed ‘Modern Family’ as the most watched scripted show on television.  Tuesday’s episode was the best yet, with Kristin Chenoweth and Matthew Morrison singing a mash-up of ‘One Less Bell to Answer’ and ‘A House is Not a Home.’  Both songs were written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David.  Morrison and Chenoweth are Broadway stars, so it doesn’t surprise me that they could deliver this performance.  Listen below.

Alexa Ray Joel Gets a Nose Job – I’m not Happy

Alexa Ray Joel almost had me convinced that she didn’t mind the criticism about her looks.  She once said, “I like that I look unique, or more “exotic” – I don’t want to look like everybody else, and I also don’t want to look like a supermodel–I just want to look like ME!”  Well, I’m officially a sucker.  Joel underwent a nose job, stating that she was self-conscious when pictures of her were taken from the side.  I really thought that Joel was representing us beautiful, big nosed half-jews (okay I’m a full jew but you get the point).  I guess it got to her – and I’m sad.  Must everyone look the same?  For goodness sakes – Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue look like identical twins with those button noses!  

Rielle Hunter Has a Sit Down With Oprah – Watch a Clip

My father once told me that men cheat on their wives with gross women, because married men have limited options.  Once divorced, he said, those options increase.  That certainly explains the Rielle Hunter affair.  What it doesn’t explain is why John Edwards is still with this woman.  He’s divorced now.  Perhaps my dad’s theory doesn’t account for men whose affairs wind up in the tabloids.  It must still be slim pickings for Edwards.  I can only imagine what Jesse James’ next girlfriend will look like.  Anyways, click the link below to watch a clip from Hunter’s train wreck interview with Oprah.

Sandra Bullock Talks Baby and Divorce to People Magazine – Read Excerpts From The Interview

I have to give props to People magazine for conducting one of the best interviews I’ve ever read.  It’s beautiful, heart breaking, and honest.  You must read it in its entirety, but here are some excerpts.

On filing for divorce
Yes, I have filed for divorce.  I don’t know what else to say.  I’m sad, and I am scared.

On whether she knew Jesse cheated prior to the tabloid story
Ah, the inevitable question.  I had no idea about anything until that day when I got the call. 

On the Nazi photos of Jesse
The photo shocked me and made me sad.  This is not the man I married.  This was stupid, this was ignorant. 

On whether she’ll stay in his children’s lives
I don’t want to know what life is like without those kids. 

On her relationship with Jesse now
It’s one of new understanding.  One of forgiveness.  One of support for his recovery.  One that changed my life.

On whether Jesse will play a role in her child’s life
The father that I’ve known Jesse to be with all the kids is one that I hope Louis can experience one day. 

On the first time she met her son Louis
It was like the whole outside world just got quiet.  He was so small, so still.  All the trivial things that I had allowed to take up so much of my time just didn’t have room in my life anymore.

Flashback Alert: Jackie Earle Haley is the New Freddy Krueger

Remember that guy who played Kelly Leak in ‘Bad News Bears?’  He’s back.  Jackie Earle Haley landed the role of Freddy Krueger in the remake of Wes Craven’s 1984 film.  Haley was pretty much off the acting grid from 1993 until 2006, before returning to the biz to appear in some successful films.  I have a feeling that this will solidify his return as an industry contender.  Though I admittedly despise remakes – and Freddy Krueger.   

Brendan Fraser Has Major Spaz Out on ‘The View’

Something is seriously up with Brendan Fraser.  He appeared on ‘The View’ to promote his new movie, and he seemed nuts.  At one point he admitted to drinking a lot of red bull, which might explain it.  I think it’s time to lay off the uppers.  Watch a clip below.
