I have to give Denise Richards a lot of credit. She sure knows how to stay classy amidst Charlie Sheen’s recent troubles. If I remember correctly, Denise Richards fired her last publicist after she mishandled the media fire-storm surrounding Denise’s relationship with Heather Locklear’s ex-husband, Richie Sambora. Since then, she’s done a complete turn-around in the press, even appearing on Howard Stern to clear the air. She proved on The View today that she can certainly handle an interrogation. The ladies wanted her to discuss Sheen, and she refused. Every answer she gave was creatively evasive, and at one point she even said, “there’s plenty of books out there for children going through the same thing.” When they asked her to recommend a book, she refused, obviously because any title would disclose precisely what she was trying to avoid discussing. In response to Barbara Walters’ question about “what she says to her children, Denise simply said, “what do you say?” Good job, Denise. It was four-on-one, and you took those yentas down!

Sara Ramirez Looks Hot and Curvy for Latina Magazine
I’ve made it very clear that I prefer a woman with curves. And I think most men agree. After all, what man wants to have sex with a woman that looks like a little boy? Sara Ramirez represents the curvy girls on the cover of Latina Magazine, and she’s very honest about the pressure of losing weight in Hollywood. Judging from the cover, she’s got it under control. She also reveals a whole lot of nothing about Grey’s Anatomy, saying she contemplated leaving the show at one point because of all the “drama.” I realize her contract puts her on a tight verbal leash, but the ambiguity is irritating. I think we can all guess what she’s referring to, though.
Derek Hough Leaves Dancing With the Stars — I’m Devastated
If you’re a fan of my blog, then you know how much I love Dancing With the Stars, and you might also know that Derek Hough is my favorite professional dancer on the show. He’s by far the most talented dancer and the best choreographer. Remember when all of the professional dancers except Derek Hough needed outside choreographers for help with their free-style routine? Perhaps you can guess who won that season. Hough sadly announced that he’s leaving the show to pursue his movie career, but he says he’ll definitely return. As a tribute to Hough, I’ve attached some of his best dances below. Enjoy!
Tune In For Chris Cuomo’s 20/20 Special on Troubled Youths
Chris Cuomo appeared on The View today to promote his 20/20 special, and he was beyond impressive. He’s officially the only man that can sit on the panel without interruption for five minutes straight. If you’re a fan of The View, you’d also be in awe of this skill, considering those five yentas can’t go one minute without getting a word in. I decided to tweet him my praise today, and he tweeted back a very kind thank you. My loyal Dishmaster readers know that I like to play favorites, and Chris Cuomo is now on my favorite person list. Having said that, I’d like to encourage all of my readers to watch his special this Friday at 10 p.m. I’ve attached a clip of him discussing the special, and it looks great. I’ve also attached a clip of his appearance on The View, so you can see for yourself what a word-ninja looks like in action.
Dr. Drew on The Bachelor! — Is He a Celebrity Whore?
I’ve loved Dr. Drew since the days of Loveline on MTV, when he taught me everything I didn’t want to know about random callers with third nipples. He was the expert doctor who was there to help. At no point in the show did I believe he was in it for the fame. I’ve since changed my mind. I’m fine with him lending his expertise to Celebrity Rehab, but I draw the line at Dancing With the Stars and The Bachelor. If you are going to whore yourself out for money, at least stick to your field. Watch his extremely uncomfortable and inappropriate appearance on Dancing With the Stars below, to see what I mean.
Golden Globes Recap: Angelina Jolie Refuses to Laugh
There are two certainties in life: 1) Ricky Gervais is damn funny, and 2) Angelina Jolie has no sense of humor. I really want to like her, and I promise I’ve made a serious effort to change my opinion over the years. But when the cameras cut to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, and only Pitt is laughing, I can’t help but wonder what Angelina’s problem is. The only explanation is that Gervais ragged on her film, The Tourist, but that certainly doesn’t explain why her costar, Johnny Depp, was also seen laughing. Is Depp just a better sport? Here’s my advice to the actors that get made fun of — if you don’t think it’s funny, then use your acting skills to laugh anyways, otherwise the viewing public just sees you as a humorless curmudgeon.
UPDATE: Angelina Jolie can laugh after all. Click here
Christina Hendricks Posed For Playboy — She Wasn’t Naked — No Scandal
There’s a lot of buzz on the internet about Mad Men’s Christina Hendricks’ “Playboy past.” Can I just say that unless she’s naked, there’s no scandal. She’s in a bikini in a highly air-brushed and artistic photo-shoot, which is less revealing than if she was photographed by Paparazzi on the beach. I’d also like to say that, despite the viewpoint of my highly conservative friends, Playboy is not a scandalous magazine. There’s no longer a need to hide it under your couch cushions, and it’s certainly okay to take it to Starbucks and read it for the articles. Isn’t it? Perhaps that’s why I get such strange looks while I’m drinking my coffee. To see the “scandalous” pictures, click the link below.
CHRISTINA HENDRICKS — PLAYBOY — THE SMOKING JACKET
Dear Donald Trump — Stop Casting Reality Stars on Your Reality Show
The new cast of Celebrity Apprentice has been announced, and I’m disappointed. Though it might be interesting to if Richard Hatch (Survivor) and NeNe Leakes (The Real Housewives of Atlanta) can actually make intelligent business decisions, I’m sick of reality shows recycling reality stars. These shows basically provide a mosh-pit of recycled fame-whores that are looking to extend their fifteen minutes of fame to twenty minutes. Keep in mind that I’m not a realty-television-hater, but there’s a lot of people in the industry who were actually famous for a talent, and who are looking to resurrect their career. Those are the people who should be selected. Forgive me if I don’t want to see the douchey Jake Pavelka on Dancing With the Stars.
Is ‘The View’s’ Product Placement Working?
No one is a bigger fan of The View than The Dishmaster, but Sherri Shepherd’s commercials during the show must stop. I understand that the network has to make money, and this seems like a creative way to do it, but it simply doesn’t work. First, it’s not technically “product placement.” Product placement occurs when someone within a television show uses a product, and the audience notices it without even thinking it’s a commercial. It’s akin to your mother sneaking carrots in your brownies. Second, because it’s completely obvious when Sherri begins to endorse the product, I simply fast forward through it, as if it’s a regular commercial. See the problem? This ridiculous idea started when Rosie was on The View, and they tried to continue it after she left. The difference is that when Rosie gave gifts to the audience she made it seem as if she really used the product and spent her own personal funds to gift the audience with something she genuinely thought they might like. She wasn’t simply pimping out products because she was paid to do so.
It’s Official! — Skating With the Stars is the Dumbest Idea Ever
I don’t want to gloat about being correct about this, but, as predicted, two skaters were injured on the new ABC show, Skating With the Stars. Brandon Michal Smith was hospitalized for breathing problems, and Brooke Castille sliced her finger open. And before a bunch of assholes tell me the show is cursed, I’d like to refer you to my previous post about how it’s not a “curse” if the problem resulted from some network idiots making poor decisions. Here’s an idea for a new show: take a bunch of fat people and force them to go rock climbing on one of the highest mountains in the world. Doesn’t that sound fantastic!? The more life-threatening the task — the better!
