Katherine Heigl has Officially Left Grey’s Anatomy

Entertainment Weekly confirmed what has long been speculated: Katherine Heigl and ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ are over.  I must say I am glad to hear it.  I was pretty sick of all the negative press surrounding the show and her contract, and perhaps now things will move in a more positive direction.  This often happens with actors that have film careers take off while they are on a successful television show.  They want out of their contracts, and the show doesn’t want to release them, because the show benefits from the actor’s film success.  Summation?  It becomes a big huge mess.  So long Izzie.  It was fun while it lasted.

Celebrity Apprentice Contestant asks Terminally Ill Child What he Wants to be When he Grows Up

Seriously?  At one point in last Sunday’s ‘Celebrity Apprentice,’ children from the Make-A-Wish Foundation arrived, and one child was asked what he wants to be when he grows up, to which he replied, “I haven’t thought about that yet.”  The camera cut away as the question was asked, but I am almost positive that Selita Ebanks is the “celebrity” culprit that asked that horrendous question.  Holly Robinson Peete then discussed this moment, stating that it was “really rough” to hear his answer.  Is this a sick joke?  Yeah, I am pretty sure it wasn’t as rough for you as it was for this poor kid that had to answer it!!

Red Carpet Fashion: The Geffen Gala

The Geffen Gala recognizes leadership in theater, and raises funds for the Geffen playhouse.  The playhouse was originally UCLA’s ‘Westwood Playhouse,’ but its name changed after David Geffen, the billionaire film producer and record executive, donated $5 million dollars.  See Pics from the event below.

‘American Idol’ is Horrible this Season – And it’s all the Judges’ Fault

The top twelve contestants this season are painful to watch, and since the judges picked the top 32 to choose from, I place my blame exclusively on them.  It’s not as if America voted the wrong person off.  They’re all wrong!  Thank goodness Simon Cowell is jumping ship just in time to keep his brand intact.  Also, Kara DioGuardi makes me want to throw something at my television.  Did she actually tell a contestant that he hasn’t reached a level yet where he can high-five people?  Please Kara, tell me at what point, using all of your expertise, that it would be appropriate to high-five.  In fact, I am giving you one big virtual high-five right now.  High-five yourself out of the judging panel, and bring Paula back!  I’m posting a pic of 1950’s teen idol Bobby Rydell because I could not think of anything to post related to ‘American Idol’ that wouldn’t irritate me.  

Ke$ha Apologizes to Britney Spears and Justin Bieber

First she attacked Britney Spears, and then she insults Justin Bieber.  She recently said that Justin Bieber was a “tiny little baby” that she wanted to “push around in a carriage.”  I would believe that it was just a stupid, non-malicious statement had she not previously insulted Britney Spears . . . twice.  Hence, I’m still convinced she’s an asshole.  Well, she got an appropriate backlash from Britney and Bieber fans – which, when combined, pretty much means all of America.  So she “apologized.”  See her Britney apology below.

Steve Lillywhite Continues his Pathetic Plea to Replace Simon Cowell on ‘American Idol’

Does anyone ever get a job this way?  And by “this way,” I mean posting pathetic videos over the internet that encompass old school groveling.  Steve Lillywhite, the music producer behind the first three releases from ‘Dave Matthews Band’ (back when Dave Matthews was actually listenable), wants to be the next ‘American Idol’ judge.  Sure he might know his stuff, but these online videos might actually work against him, as he is absolutely painful to watch.  When asked about Steve Lillywhite as a possible replacement, Simon Cowell gave a far less wordy critique than mine, by basically calling him ugly.  Watch the cringe-worthy video below.  

‘Dancing With the Stars’ Has its Largest Audience Ever

It looks like ABC made some changes for the better.  Last night’s ‘Dancing With the Stars’ drew the largest premiere audience since the show began.  Something tells me Samantha Harris won’t be coming back anytime soon.  I think Brooke Burke as the new host probably helped with the numbers.  Also, who can beat watching Pamela Anderson dance around like a crazy person?   Watch below.

Director Michael Bay Joins James Cameron in the Fight Against 3D Conversions

It’s no secret that ‘Avatar’ has created a frenzy over 3D.  Studios see a chance to make more money, because tickets prices are higher for 3D films.  Michael Bay has joined James Cameron in criticizing the last minute process of converting films into 3D after they were already shot in 2D.  According to Bay, it sacrifices the integrity of the movie, and he’s apprehensive about potentially ruining the next ‘Transformers’ film by doing so.  First of all, I am not sure anything can make the next ‘Transformers’ film any worse than I predict it will be, after the spectacle that was ‘Transformers 2.’  Second, I hate 3D in general.  It hurts my eyes and gives me a throbbing headache.  How about we nix all this debate and just trash the entire 3D experience altogether?  It’s not that important to me to see things popping out of the screen.  One more thing – Cameron is still a hypocrite, considering he is converting ‘Titanic’ into 3D.  I am posting a picture of Megan Fox from ‘Transformers,’ instead of Michael Bay, because she is easier on the eyes.

‘Pirates of the Caribbean 4’ Now Casting: No Breast Implants Allowed

Are things changing in Hollywood?  It appears that the casting for Pirates 4 has begun, and although they want beautiful models, no breast implants are allowed.  Hmm….doesn’t Penelope Cruz have implants?  I’m confused.  The main cast can have them but the supporting cast can’t?  Maybe Penelope lucked out and has a tiny little body with big and beautiful natural breasts.  If so – I hate her.
