INTERBLOGATORY BITS'n'PIECES
In no particular order ...
8 This faux outrage is already getting to be so yesterday. Readers: Mel Gibson will bounce back: Perhaps the most interesting insights came in the part of the survey in which readers were asked for their opinion of the whole Gibson affair. Media Life asked: What do you think the appropriate reaction toward Gibson is, from both Hollywood and the American public? Opinions were all over the place. Many felt it all was much ado about nothing and that Gibson didn't deserve the attention.
8 Oh by the way, Mel Gibson Has Israeli Bodyguard: Korein is Jewish. But so is Gibson’s publicist.
8 They’re not quite clippin’ coupons just yet -- Studio blows 'overpaid' Cruise off the screen: The Hollywood studio that bankrolls his films is not backing any more Cruise movies until he agrees to a significant paycut. … Cruise is not the only star to suffer as Hollywood bosses cut jobs and get tough with expensive talent. Jim Carrey, Mike Myers and Reese Witherspoon are all “on holiday” with no immediate film in prospect, while Brad Pitt recently took a pay cut to play Jesse James.
8 Geezer TV. As Dave ages so has his late night audience: Letterman simply can’t identify with young people anymore, which becomes even more obvious when he’s compared with late-night cable shows like Comedy Central’s “Daily Show with Jon Stewart” and Adult Swim’s “Family Guy” that do it so well.
8 They must be getting desperate -- Democrats label their opponents as racists as a dirty political tactic: Usually, conservatives/Republicans are on the receiving end of such chicanery.
8 If you never got enough of OJ -- O.J. SLAYS 'EM IN WILD WEB TAPES: A never-before-seen trove of O.J. Simpson tapes shows the disgraced gridiron great bumping and grinding with a bevy of babes, giving a friend foul-mouthed advice and calling Oprah Winfrey untruthful. … Pardo says he began taping Simpson after their mutual attorney suggested the producer take the infamous murder defendant out on the road to help rehab his image.
8 Who woulda thunk that this is a 60 Minutes production! What is Pallywood?
8 Fidel fidelity. Democrat Charlie Rangel loves Fidel: Rangel went on to equate our soldiers serving in Guantanamo, our President and America to Castro's communist regime. His distress over the plight of the poor terrorists being held at Guantanamo was sickening.
8 Down memory lane: We Fought WWII on the Home Front
8 The all-American store -- The 'Shop Sears' E-Mail: True, or an iHerring?: I was curious whether the email was correct. So I picked up the phone and called Larry Costello, my PR contact at the company.
8 A BIG welcome to the new kids in the blogosphere: The Radio Patriots
