Bill O’Reilly Says He’ll Boycott Sean Penn Films

Sean Penn may be slated to play Larry in the upcoming Three Stooges film, but Bill O’Reilly won’t be there to see it. O’Reilly, the host of Fox’s “The O’Reilly Factor,” did an interview for The Hollywood Reporter and when asked what actor’s political views disturbed him so much he won’t see their films, O’Reilly said “Just Sean Penn.” O’Reilly did concede that Penn is a great actor (one of the greatest actors of my generation in my honest opinion), but said that he doesn’t want to give his ten bucks to someone that gives “aid and comfort” to such … Continue reading →

The Oscar Aftermath

Well, I only got to watch about 9 hours of Oscar coverage yesterday as my hubby and I decided to take our son to a train show. Then, I missed some of E!’s coverage because I couldn’t hear it over the steamy train engine running in my kitchen. But, I still loved it. Oscar Day is THE yearly holiday for me at my house and this year, it didn’t disappoint (even though I, unlike most people, thought it ran a bit short!). So what were the highlights and lowlights of the night? Well, on the red carpet, certain sites are … Continue reading →

Stewart And Oscar—Will The Second Time Be The Charm?

Jon Stewart sealed the deal. America’s favorite faux newscaster is going to give hosting the Academy Awards another try. His first stab at the prestigious gig came in 2006 when he got mixed reviews for his performance. In 2007 the show was hosted by Ellen DeGeneres and drew 40.1 million viewers—-about 2 million more than when Stewart hosted. But, producers insist that the show’s lackluster ratings in 2006 weren’t due to Stewart’s performance. “He did a great job two years ago,” Oscar telecast producer Gil Cates told reporters. “You need a host who is not afraid of the unexpected, who … Continue reading →

Celebrity “Real” or “Rumor” – Stewart Heads To Iraq and Ryan and Jake Duke It Out

Stewart Heads To Iraq Jon Stewart has a running gag on his “Daily Show,” which features phony news reports from war-torn Iraq. Now, word has it the Comedy Central star is headed there himself.

The network is calling Riggle’s reports “in-depth coverage and insights from the front lines.” His reports begin airing … Continue reading →

Hollywood Depos Galore

If he hasn’t rued the day he agreed to work for Britney “train wreck” Spears yet, then he probably is now. Daimon Shippen, bodyguard and manny for Spears’ two young sons, was served with a deposition subpoena related to the singer’s ongoing custody battle with her ex-husband Kevin Federline. The dark-haired child helper is just one member of Spears’ inner circle to be served with papers relating to the custody war over Sean Preston, 23 months, and Jayden James, 11 months. Alli Sims, Spears’ frequent nightclub companion was also served with a deposition subpoena a few days ago. Though, news … Continue reading →

According to the message, the Mexican singer is due to give birth in a “few months.” The 35-year-old singer says she is ready to be a mom and is excited to expand the family.
