Nicolas Cage’s “Next” Project
He acts. He directs. He produces. And of course, he dreams of blue suede shoes. That’s Nicolas Cage for ya.
If you blink, you may have missed him in his first major film, Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Since then, Cage has gone on to box office platinum with such films as The Rock, Con Air, and Gone in Sixty Seconds. Nic’s most recent film, Ghost Rider, raked in a cool $200 million worldwide. And, to the delight of National Treasure fans, he’s currently filming the sequel in Washington, DC.

Britney Spears To Write Tell-All Book About All That Stuff We Already Know
Let’s face it: Us normal folks like to pretend we know all about celebrities based on what we see and read. We judge them, we criticize their every action, and we try to make ourselves feel better about being nobodies. So when they write autobiographies, we sometimes get to see a whole different side of them. This will probably not be the case when Britney Spears writes her tell-all book.

‘Studio 60′ Coming Back, But Perhaps Not For Long
Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip hasn’t exactly been the runaway hit NBC was hoping for, but the network is apparently gonna give it one more shot…kind of. The show will begin airing again on May 24th, but that’s after the all-important May sweeps. There’s plenty of reason to believe that Studio 60 will end up as just another prematurely-cancelled show.

America’s Next Top Model: Tyra Loves Food, Hates Paying
Apparently, America’s Next Top Model host Tyra Banks thinks she’s such a big fat star now that she can just eat everything at the buffet and then leave without paying. Word on the street (and by “street” I mean “Internet” — I’m so urban) is that Tyra was eating with Russell Simmons, presumably talking about famous black people stuff, when she bounced without paying.
Tyra now says she was embarrassed to have to read about it in the paper, and has apologized to the restaurant owners. She claims it was all a misunderstanding, and that she thought Simmons had paid the $100 lunch bill or she wouldn’t have left.
Sure, Tyra, assume the man’ll pay. You go, girl!

Cheese-Off: Andy from The Bachelor vs. The Wedding Crashers
Whether he’s consoling Bevin (whose name is actually Australian slang for “white trash,” go figure) or taking his hairless chest hot-tubbing, Andy from The Bachelor: Officer and a Gentleman is never far from a cheesy one-liner: “I really feel a connection with you.” He’s like a real-life (sorta) version of Owen Wilson or Vince Vaughn from Wedding Crashers.
In this trivia game, we’ll give you the cheeseball quote; you tell us whether it came from Andy, from Owen or Vince, or from both. We’ll give you the answers at the end of the quiz.

Beyond Sanjaya: American Idol’s Worst of All Time
Trying to find a bad singer on American Idol is like trying to find a needle in a stack of needles.
When we say the worst singers of American Idol, we don’t really mean the worst. William Hung will not grace this list, nor will Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum from this season’s Seattle auditions. We’re talking about relatively poor singers who actually fooled the judges and America into thinking they were good. All of the members of the following list actually made it to the Hollywood rounds, much to the bewilderment of any human able to view the Idol proceedings objectively.
Check out BuddyTV for the complete list >>
Totally Frakked: Supernatural — Still Cute In Orange Jumpsuits
Supernatural
Title: “Folsom Prison Blues”
First Aired: 4/26/07
The Winchester boys go behind bars; to the pokey, the big house, the slammer, the big pokey slammer house. The not-surprising thing is that there are ghosts in prison. The surprising thing is that no one drops the soap.
Despite the fact that they’re wanted in a half-dozen states, Sam and Dean go out of their way to get arrested so that they can be thrown into the county lockup. Their dad’s old friend Deacon asked them to investigate a haunting at the jail, and the Winchesters are nothing if not stupidly loyal. The plan backfires a bit when Agent Henricksen shows up, demanding answers. Dean gives the mug shot camera his Blue Steel, and then gives Henricksen a hard time.
Henricksen: “You think you’re funny.”
Dean: “I think I’m adorable.”
Yeah, yeah — so do we.

Alec Baldwin Wants Out of 30 Rock Contract, But NBC Says No Way
Alec Baldwin has officially asked NBC to release him from his 30 Rock contract, to allow him to focus on his “parental alienation.” But the network isn’t about to let the Golden Globe winner get away that easy.
Baldwin has been at the center of a media frenzy since the leak of an angry voicemail he left on his 11-year-old daughter Ireland’s cell phone, in which he called her a “rude, thoughtless little pig.” Now Baldwin clearly wants to put his time and energy into resolving the bitter custody battle he’s been fighting with former wife Kim Basinger, as he told The View in a taped appearance set to air tomorrow:
If I never acted again, I couldn’t care less.

Lost: Who’s Your Daddy?
Lost
Title: “D.O.C.”
First Aired: 4/25/07
This week’s Lost is all about Sun, who her baby daddy is, and how she ended up in this mess. Either she’s pregnant by another man, or she’s going to be killed by the mysterious illness that strikes all women who get pregnant on the island. Obviously, it’s a feel-good story. At the end of the episode, they’ll give Sun a puppy, and then take it away and tell her it has cancer.
Sun, understandably tense, confronts Juliet about the mystery of what happens to pregnant women on the island. Juliet’s not exactly full of answers, but she does take Sun off to the Dharma Initiative medical station for an ultrasound. It turns out that Sun’s baby was conceived on the island, so it’s death instead of dishonor for Mrs. Kwon. It seems like this episode should have been the one called “Catch-22.” On the way out, Juliet records a message for Ben, letting him know about Sun and ominously mentioning that she’ll have a sample from Kate soon.

American Idol: So This Is Hell!
American Idol
Title: “Idol Gives Back”
First Aired: 4/25/07
Welcome to the seventh level of Hell; one where you can’t tell the good guys from the bad guys, the genuine from the conniving, and the safe from the… safe.
In other words, welcome to the experiment that never should have been.
Sure, a ton of money was raised for charity. That’s good! However, have you ever seen so much corporate back-patting, celebrity egotism, and overall self-righteousness in your life? Now, for those who think I’m being insensitive, or for those who just think I’m using too many big words, let me break it down like this:
America, you have been played!

Sanjaya’s Mom Busted for Growing Pot, Being Tone Deaf
Breaking news on the Sanjaya front. According to TMZ.com, Sanjaya’s mama, Jillian Blith, was nabbed by police in February 2005 for possession of 310 ganga plants. Sis Shyamali, who came thisclose to entering the American Idol Top 24, was also nicked, but only for being in the company of a bag of weed and a variety of “smoking devices.” To avoid serious jail time, Mamajaya pulled a Big Pussy by squealing on some nearby maryjane growers.
The hula, the hair, that sh*t-eating grin — it all makes sense now.

Rosie O’Donnell Calls It Quits On ‘The View’ After Doing Just The Right Amount Of Damage
Rosie O’Donnell’s stint as host of The View will be over after just one season. The outspoken TV personality has announced that her first season will also be her last, although there is no bad blood, even after a year filled with controversy. O’Donnell has had very public feuds with Donald Trump, Bill O’Reilly, and Kelly Ripa since joining the show. She also came under fire from the Chinese-American community after doing a bad impression on the air.
Dancing with the Stars: America Tells Heather Mills to Hop Along
Defying all odds by making it so far in a dance competition despite being both white AND British, Heather Mills was voted off Dancing with the Stars last night.
The vote came after a week that saw Mills fall at the end of her routine and receive a poor score from the judges, proving that there’s nothing Americans enjoy more than kicking a cripple while she’s down.
Mills used her farewell speech to push a vegan lifestyle before pulling a no-show on Jimmy Kimmel’s show, on which she was scheduled to appear — presumably because she was in a hurry to spend more of Paul McCartney’s money.
“She hates America,” Kimmel quipped.

American Idol: Oh, Wait…You Mean Charity Is Good?
American Idol
Title: “Top 6 Contestants Compete”
First Aired: 4/24/07
Thanks to the ground-breaking efforts of American Idol: Idol Gives Back, America has finally realized that there is injustice in the world. Whew, not a minute too late, if you ask me!
The most mind-blowing moment of last night’s episode was when Simon Cowell, walking through a poverty-stricken, disease-infested shantytown in Africa, so eloquently said, “It’s just wrong.”
Oh, really, Simon? No sh*t! There are people who dedicate their whole lives to fighting these problems. Don’t act like you discovered these harsh realities. Please, just do your job. Just be rich and aloof and tell me who sings well and who sings badly. Wear tight V-neck shirts that highlight those forty-something pectorals. Treat me like dirt. Leave the charity to people who are actually earnest, down to Earth, and not driven by profit… like multi-platinum recording artist Bono!
