I will keep this as short as possible, because the Jewish Dishmaster is exhausted from having to explain why these types of comments are inappropriate. When asked by Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live what Adam Levine’s fragrance should smell like, Green said, “It should smell Jewish.” If Levine was asked about Green’s fragrance, and Levine said, “It should smell black,” a firestorm would erupt. Furthermore, take a moment to define someone by something other than their color or religion. For example, If I were asked the same question about Adam Levine, I would have responded with, “It should smell douchey.”
Oasis’ Noel Gallagher Throws Stuff at Cows — Gigantic Douchebag?
The greatest move Liam Gallagher ever made was kicking his brother, Noel Gallagher, out of his band. Why? Because for so many years Noel managed to fool the public into thinking that Liam is the douchebag. As it turns out, it’s Noel. In a recent interview, Noel discussed his excitement about taking his kids to Ireland, saying, “At my grandma’s [home] in Mayo we’d run around throwing stuff at cows. See, we don’t get cows in Manchester, so if you see one you just throw stuff at them. I’m looking forward to bringing my sons over so they can throw stuff at cows as well.” Wow. My apologies to Liam Gallagher for the many years I thought he was the exclusive douche in Oasis.
Rosie O’Donnell v. Oprah — Is Oprah at Fault for the Canceled Show?
There’s one thing I know for certain about Rosie O’Donnell — she’s not a failure — so the fact that her show failed indicates other variables at play. After reading what’s been deemed as an “unflattering” article in The Daily Beast about what went down, I’m even more convinced of my aforementioned assertion. I will give a brief summary of the most important points in the very long article for my readers-on-the-go.
First, when Rosie’s show debuted it was a critical success. But the ratings didn’t match its praise. That’s likely because it had a daytime format with a nighttime time-slot. Because Rosie didn’t know it would air at night, she was forced to make last minute show-changes. With its waning success, the network asked that she relocate to Chicago, which made it an enormous challenge to book high-powered guests who don’t visit Chicago on their press-tour. Additionally, since OWN flies their talent coach, it made it even more challenging to convince A-listers to make the trip. She was also forced to hire the HARPO staff (i.e. Oprah’s team), and since Rosie is a notorious perfectionist who didn’t make the hires, it’s no surprise that they didn’t gel. When the ratings continued to decline, OWN made suggestions that Rosie enacted, which further tanked the ratings.
In short, I’m confident Rosie would have succeeded with her original format on another network. OWN has been struggling for some time now, and the network put an enormous amount of pressure on Rosie as its saving grace while taking no responsibility for its failure. Rosie had one of the most successful daytime shows in history, and she completely revived The View (though The View will never admit that). She’s a force.
Dancing With the Stars — Jaleel White Makes His Television Comeback
I’ve had a crush on Jaleel White ever since he removed his suspenders on Family Matters. In fact, I’ve snooped around town to ask whether he’s a nice guy, and sources tell me he’s not only nice, he’s also smart, and contrary other child stars, he never blew all that money he made from the show. He shed some light on his lengthy stint as Steve Urkel in a recent Vanity Fair interview, saying, “It’s not overly sophisticated, man. I’m the highest-paid black kid in the history of television, just so you understand that. I was trying to prolong the checks! For all of the people who want to scratch their heads about this . . . we’re probably the second-longest-running African American show in the history of television.” Perhaps the child stars of today’s generation should take notes. Watch his great performance below.
Dancing With the Stars Debuts — Katherine Jenkins Steals the Show
They should just hand Katherine Jenkins the mirror ball trophy now. She’s not only a great dancer, but she also has the personality necessity to win over the audience. She’s adorable, sweet, and beautiful. And since she’s a classical singer — she’s also talented. Can I marry her? I realize this is a game and everyone competes for the prize, but she’s got it in the bag. Watch below.
Terry Richardson Snaps Miranda Kerr — Vintage Perfection
Miranda Kerr sure is pretty, and Terry Richardson sure is good at capturing it. See the Harper’s Bazaar photos below.
Jon Hamm on The Today Show — Still Thinks Kim Kardashian is Dumb
When Matt Lauer addressed the Jon Hamm/Kim Kardashian feud while interviewing the cast of Mad Men to promote the new season, Hamm held firm. He said his comments weren’t “careless” (as Kim Kardashian put it), but rather — “accurate.” “It’s a part of our culture I don’t identify with,” he said. Though I appreciate Hamm’s refusal to back down, it’s worth pointing out that all scripted actors hate all reality stars. Reality television takes away their jobs, and contrary to Matt Lauer’s point, there simply isn’t room for both. Sure both might currently co-exist, but as time passes, scripted shows are dwindling. Reality television is just cheaper to make, and so it makes sense for networks and studios to push for them at the expense of real actors on scripted shows. Greed always trumps creativity.

Quote of the Day: Charlize Theron Discusses Michael Fassbender’s Penis Size
“Your penis was a revelation. I have to say that I was truly impressed that you chose to play it big. Most other actors would have gone small, trust me. I know because I’ve worked with them.”
Charlize Theron jokes to the Human Rights Campaign gala about her Prometheus co-star’s penis size, which she got a long, hard (pun intended) look at in his full-frontal scene in Shame.

Tina Fey Hates Adrien Brody — “Worst SNL Host Ever”
There’s nothing I love more than celebrities outing other celebrities who engaged in bad behavior, and Tina Fey is fearless about it. When asked by Andy Cohen during Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live for the “worst SNL host ever” she insisted she could not divulge it, and then mouthed “Adrien Brody” to the audience. I’ve heard Fey mention her dissatisfaction with Brody in the past, saying that he pushed his own sketch ideas to the dismay of the writers who knew they were terrible. As for Brody, all he said about the matter is he “had a great time” while hosting. Watch below.
