Hey, remember that time when "Game of Thrones" put George W. Bush's head on a stick? Yeah, well they felt pretty bad about it and ended up pulling the episode for alterations.
It's back now (online at least), and you can see the alteration that HBO made to the episode in order to make it acceptable. Basically, they shrunk Dubya's chin, making him look like Dubya if he had just eaten an especially sour lemon.

Kanye West might be an attention whore, and maybe he'd do anything for love....but he won't do THAT. The acclaimed and eccentric rapper/producer's relationship with Kim Kardashian is for really realsies, sources say. And he wasn't thrilled that Oprah Winfrey had the gall to suggest otherwise.

The more things change, the more they stay naked. Er--the same. The more they stay the same. Ahem.
Jenny McCarthy, whose title is probably somewhere between "TV personality" and "unqualified health advocate" at present, has posed nude for Playboy. That's nothing new for McCarthy: in fact, she started her career as a Playmate. What's notable is that McCarthy is doing this recent nude spread nearly two decades after her first one.

Anybody else remember the scene in "Memento" wherein Leonard Shelby tells a crooked hotel clerk, "At least you're honest about ripping me off?" One wonders, what's it like for FX, knowing Charlie Sheen's past, to admit straight-up that he won't be back to rehab and doesn't plan on stopping his drinking? Must be the more nerve-racking for the network with Sheen's "Anger Management" premiering Thursday evening.

Here's an idea for a reality show: strand the Kardashians on the most remote island possible, and allow open betting on who eats who first. Kris Jenner just can't seem to stop nipping at her daughters' heels. On last night's "Keeping Up With The Kardashians," she went right after Kourtney's "indecisive" nature toward marriage and raising children.

On Sunday night, HBO's new Aaron Sorkin series "The Newsroom" premiered to a solid 2.1 million viewers, making it the pay channel's best drama debut since 2008. It went so well, in fact, that HBO is ready to share the premiere episode with everyone, whether they subscribe to HBO or not.

It's cute how this show assumes that we care in the slightest about Jimmy, isn't it? Here's a tip, guys: if you want us to care about a character, you have to have them do something likeable first. You can't just have them nearly get everyone killed in season one because he wanted to save his dog and then assume we'll care what happens to him later.

There are a lot of words to describe "True Blood," but "cohesive" is not usually one of them. The storylines are so willy-nilly these days that it's hard to even fit them all into each episode, much less keep track of them.

There's a problem in Hollywood (and the rest of the world for that matter, but let's keep it small and manageable), and it is a lack of truly strong, independent female protagonists. It's not all the fault of the studios, either: in a world where "Twilight" makes billions, one has to assume that a character like Bella resonates with young females. And sadly, she does.
