Hasselbombs Over Baghdad
Anyone else watch “Entourage” this weekend? Truly terrible television. Not that the show was ever very good to begin with, but there’s no denying that the show’s quality has plummeted substantially this season. It’s painfully obvs that ALL of the actors have taken their one-dimensional characters just about as far as they can go — across the board, there’s not even a smidge of nuance left in any of these actors’ performances. Yep, even Jeremy Piven, who resorted to Three Stooges style “nyuk nyuk” antics in his outburst two episodes ago.¹ The only thing keeping “Entourage” on my DVR these days are the knockout bods of Perry Reeves and Carla Gugino. Ferreals.
- Classic Mädchen Amick. And by classic, I mean nakes. And by nakes, I mean NSFW.
- Wait wait wait. Do you mean to tell me that New York and Sister Patterson are not even related? I feel like I’ve been taken advantage of. [via Stop Clogging My Inbox]
- Tyra Banks was recently seen canoodling with Isiah Thomas (allegedly). Good for Zeke, I’d tap that, too. But the real question is this: what’s C-Webb gonna think? [via NBA Fanhouse]
- Thighs pays tribute to Andy Bernard. The less I seek my source for some definitive, THE CLOSER I AM TO FINE!
- NY Mag can do no wrong these days. Their new entertainment blog, Vulture, is top of the pops.
- The real surprise in this story is that it took this long.
- VH1 Classic to revive the long-dormant 120 Minutes franchise? Yes please! Better yet? Start airing old episodes, STAT!
- Call me The Mayor Of Squaresville if you wanna, but riding a bike that doesn’t have brakes doesn’t sound too safe to me. Shouldn’t it be ENOUGH of a challenge to just not use the brakes on a regular bike? I guess I need to drink more SURGE! [via Lindsayism]
Not sure if this should be categorized as a perk or a punishment of my new(ish) j-o-b, but your Uncle Grambo has been watching “The View” five days a week for the last six months. Not by choice, mind you — I just happen to sit in an office with a TV that’s tuned into the show. That’s all. Anyway, while your Uncle Grambo won’t go as far as to say that I’m going to miss Rosie O’Donnell, I will say that Elizabeth Hasselbeck’s announcement that she’s preggo makes the news a lot easier to bear. Why? I’ll give you two reasons. Welcome back, Hasselbombs!

You know me, I’m all for Artie Lange being employed, but he had no reason to be on “Entourage” this week. Whole episode was pointless and the show’s totally running on fumes. How long are they going to stretch out this Vince-not-with-Ari plot, especially when they’ve already exhausted the Gugino storyline now that Vince has banged her? Total worst.

Entourage and Sopranos are starting to suck
Only Lost and Veronica Mars get better

Sounds like VH1 Classic just changed the name of “The Alternative” to “120 Minutes.” You don’t need any old episodes, they play all the same videos they used to…minus the ultra-annoying VJs. Watching Matt Pinfield or Lewis Largent interview bands was always uncomfortable.
Anytime I listen to “Copper Blue” by Sugar I make myself say the name aloud using Dave Kendall’s British accent.

Copper Blue. I need to rebuy that record.
Pinfield. So best.
Largent. So wurst.

More like Snoozpranos. Ooh, there are this many episodes left, and the series has won this many Emmies, and it’s just so awesome and not TV but HBO, and we all have to salivate over it. As it turns out, not really. Nothing happens! Ever! Overweight Italian dudes with anger issues driving around in SUVs. And now I’m supposed to care about Vito’s weird son taking a shit in the shower? With a shot of the shit? Come on, Chase. And speaking of Chase, accurate on ‘Entourage’ being so past its prime it’s starting to look like Donnie Wahlberg instead of Mark. ‘Beer League’ was better than Artie’s cameo.

“Snoozpranos”…The first episode of this bunch, with the fight over the Monopoly game, was great.
But yeah, something big needs to happen fast.
Vito Jr.’s shower scene: Most disturbing image on the show ever. Worse than any of the shootings, beheadings, etc.

“Beer League” was better than most films released in the past five years.
Actually, it wasn’t. But I agree it was better than this past week’s “Entourage.”

If they bring back Kevin Seal and Dave Kendall, I’m so in. If it’s pinfield, then fuggit. I think I’d rather listen to my own interviews. And that’s fuckin’ torture.
I’ll cancel my subscription to, er, TV, and send them a very angry letter about, um, mediocrity or someting. I guess. Oh, hell.
