Tiger Woods at the Masters is Cable’s Most Watched Golf Telecast in History

So I guess his return to golf paid off.  ESPN’s live coverage of the masters had close to five million viewers, making it “the most watched golf telecast in cable history.”  To be fair, is this really a golf telecast?  I would imagine that most people tuned in not to actually watch him play golf, but to see if one of Tiger’s whores would storm the green naked, while screaming “you owe me an apology!”  Unfortunately, this didn’t occur.  There’s always next time though.

Jeffrey Katzenberg Bashes ‘Clash of the Titans’

It’s already been reported that Katzenberg was pissed off that Warner Bros. released ‘Clash of the Titans’ one week after Dreamworks released ‘How to Train Your Dragon.’  The primary reason for his anger was that ‘Titans’ would take up valuable revenue from ‘How to Train Your Dragon,’ because there are only so many 3D theaters to go around.  He was also pissed that ‘Titans’ was converted to 3D in a last minute attempt to make more money after ‘Avatar’ became a hit.  In a recent interview he said,

We’ve seen the highest end of [3-D] in “Avatar” and you have now witnessed the lowest end of it [in “Titans”]. You cannot do anything that is of a lower grade and a lower quality than what has just been done on “Clash of the Titans.” It literally is “OK, congratulations! You just snookered the movie audience.” The act of doing it was disingenuous. We may get away with it a few times but in the long run, [moviegoers] will wake up. And the day they wake up is the day they walk away from us and we blew it.

 Well there you have it.  Personally, I hate all of it.  Whether it is shot in 3D or converted in post-production, it all makes my eyes hurt so I really don’t care.

All Male Writers Need to Stop Reviewing the ‘Sex and the City 2’ Trailer

It’s been brought to my attention that the new ‘Sex and the City’ trailer has been met with some angry reviews by men.  Shocker.  If you’re unable to step outside your own genre, then don’t review it.  The first film also received many negative reviews by men, and it went on to gross $415 million worldwide.  So I guess this is a good sign.  Back off guys!  Ladies everywhere – watch the trailer below!

Jim Carrey’s New Movie – ‘I Love you Phillip Morris – Gets Shelved

This is not good news for Jim Carrey.  His new film might go straight to DVD.  Carrey plays a gay con artist who falls in love with his cell mate, played by Ewen McGregor.  It was speculated that the film would have trouble with distribution because of an explicit gay sex scene, and this just confirms it.  Jim Carrey just cannot catch a break lately.  Most of his recent films have underperformed at the Box Office, and the public just won’t seem to let him transition into dramatic acting.  So far he’s tried ‘The Truman Show,’ ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,’ ‘The Majestic,’ ‘Man on the Moon,’ and ‘The Number 23.’  None of those films have even come close to his comedic box office success.  Maybe it’s time to throw in the towel and stick to what people want to see you in.

Gossip Girl Spoiler Alert – Jenny Humphrey

Click the ‘read more’ link below to find out some news about Jenny Humphrey on Gossip Girl next season



Entertainment Weekly reports that Jenny Humphrey will be absent well into the next season of Gossip Girl.  Something major happens with her character at the end of this season, which forces her off the show for a while.  The CW claims that the choice was for “creative reasons.”  My guess?  I think something personal is going on with Taylor Momsen.  She seems pretty out of it this season, and since her character isn’t taking any drugs . . . well you can fill in the blank yourself.  Just a guess though.




Debbie Reynolds gets a Dear Debbie Column in the Globe

Debbie Reynolds has taken over Ivanka Trump’s advice column in The Globe.  Reynolds is probably perfect for this job.  She said, “I’ve lived through just about everything that can happen to anyone. I lost two children to miscarriage, lost my parents, went through three divorces and have a daughter, Carrie (Fisher), with bipolar disorder. I’m experienced at survival.”  You might remember that Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher had their own Brangelina type scandal in their day.  Fisher left Reynolds for Elizabeth Taylor shortly after Carrie Fisher was born.  Reynolds, like Aniston, was America’s sweetheart, appearing in films such as ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ and ‘The Unsinkable Molly Brown.’    

Tobias Confirms that ‘Arrested Development’ Movie Won’t Happen

David Cross, better known as “Tobias,” confirmed in a recent interview that ‘Arrested Development’ will never become a movie.  He said, “(I)t’s not going to happen.  Everyone’s doing their own thing, you know. And everybody’s aged. It’s just not going to happen. I’m sure I speak for everybody when I say we’d love for it to happen, we’d love to work on it, but just I don’t think… not going to happen.”  Wow, we get it.  How many times can he break our hearts by saying “it’s not going to happen.”  I know Jason Bateman was on board, so I’m guessing that they just cannot get everyone to agree to do it.  I actually heard that Michael Cera was the holdout, because he didn’t want to do it after his film career took off.  What a bummer!@

Mtv Announces ‘Jersey Shore’ Air Date

Mtv will air season two of ‘Jersey Shore’ on Thursday, July 29th.  The network also revealed that the cast will actually return to the Jersey Shore for the second half of the season.  So I guess it’s like two shows in one?  If you want to catch a glimpse of the cast, I’d advise you to fly to Miami and find out what the trashiest South Beach club is.  Either that or go to a tanning salon and lay in one of those cancer sandwiches.  I kid.
