Winning. No word this week has taken more of a beating.
Watch Condensed Soup here, make sure to read the completely reconstituted version tonight at 10 eastern (earlier if you're on the West coast and have the E! East coast HD feed).
More, bonus Sheen content, this link. Because you're WINNING.
No, I'm not posting the entire show. Yes, I feel like I could and keep the headline. No, I'm not kidding. Yes, I'm a big Joan fan (she was the first person who ever paid me to write). No, Kelly Osbourne did not injure herself trying not to laugh at Joan's jokes about her friends. Yes, I think she probably lost it later. No, I don't think Giuliana is as annoying here as she is ... well, the rest of the time. Yes, George Kotsiopoulos is a cute li'l guy and I love what he wears on the show.
After the jump I'm posting all my favorite bits (well, my favorite bits that were indeed posted this morning at the E! website, including the panel's comments on Lindsay's court attire and some bonus stuff from Joan about Britney's assistant's wedding and Brit's bridesmaid dress.

I'm pretty sure that's a bottle of Jameson's that Joel's opening, and anyone in his position would do the same. I'd need plenty of alcohol if I had to be on TV with these two.
Since I had to watch this online (our fourth hour of Today is pre-empted today in San Diego for a police officer funeral) I figured why not post it?
And, it's after the jump, along with a Community promo for this week (Hilary Duff as a bad girl) and, if I can find it, a relevant clip from Joel's other job at E!

Sometimes you just shake your head and wonder why.
So Laura Ling spends months in North Korean custody and gets sprung by Bill Clinto so that she can do a show at E! about (for example) Lotto winners and missing persons?
At her last gig at Current TV (which I'm guessing couldn't afford too keep her on staff) she did long form journalism about prison life, the Mexican drug wars, foreclosures in Vegas, product counterfitting, migrant workers and of course human trafficking, the story that brought her to the North Korean border area in the first place.
What she tells the NY Times today:
Ms. Ling, 33, said in a separate interview that E! was “really focused on dipping deep.” She spoke by phone from Cincinnati, where she had been reporting the teenage suicide program. It had already taken her to Miami and Phoenix.
“The fact that E! is committed to this type of show — that they believe that their audience is just as interested in watching substantive programs that cover substantive issues as they are in watching the Kardashians — is thrilling to me because I’ve always been trying to reach a younger audience,” she said.
Yeah, she used the words thrilling and Kardashians in the same sentence.
I'm sure the money's good but what of her career arc? I think people who looked at her work on Current and were hopeful about the future of investigative journalism will be sad to hear that her new show could be sandwiched between those pitifully stereotypical assholes on The Spin Crowd and that drunk slut Chelsea.
To see what Laura is leaving behind, click over to the Current Vanguard homepage and watch some of her old work. At this link.
... I offer an excerpt from this parting note:
E News will be moving to an hour and I assure you, that will be must-see tv. Some of us from the Daily 10 will be transitioning over to sprinkle in some of our signature fun into that show… so don’t worry! As I determine my future and think about what’s best for my two sons and I, do know this: I am grateful to be in your living rooms, or with you on the treadmill, or even with you when you’re flying through the friendly skies. I knew I wouldn’t be changing the world when I decided to make a career in entertainment television, but if I can bring a smile to your face, help you escape what’s ailing you, force a giggle, or inspire you to buy some killer new shoes… If I lift you up, even a little, then I have succeeded.
I used to watch all the showbiz news shows but ET and Access starting being less about entertainment and more about celebrity crises. The Daily 10 had some of that but kept in the mix the stuff that I watched those show for; clips, interviews, reviews and previews. And so as all of them fell by the wayside I kept watching Catt and Sal.
An hour of Seacrest at 7? Is E! sure they don't wanna rethink that?
Just a taste, click here for more of it (from Lacey Rose, follow her on Twitter at this link):
How does the audience break down, male vs. female?
I’m not sure as of this last year, post-Community. Because of all of the times they shoot a-hole [The Soup host turned prime-time star Joel McHale] with his shirt off in [NBC's] Community, it’s probably even more female now. We were at about a 65-35 split, female to male. But I go on tour with Joel and, oh man, every girl I ever dated in high school apparently lives in every town and is in love with the guy I write for. Really, it’s just lines around the corner for the last three or four years. When you’re down in the mines working you don’t realize what the fruits of your labor are doing up above. We shoot 50 weeks a year and prior to touring with Joel, we really hadn’t been out and about asking about the show. I remember doing a show in Phoenix at a round dome and after the show I came back out to say that Joel will be up at the top to sign t-shirts so line up if you’re interested. This whole theater stood up and nobody moved. When the lights came up it was just women. And I thought, ‘this has got to come off [yanking at his wedding band]… oh, wait, they’re not here for me.’ [laughs] It was insane.
As it is a rule here never to turn our backs on the word "shirtless" I present for only five more days that episode of Community, at this link.
Community returns on September 23 at 8 pm on Thursday on NBC, against the most crowded Thursday night network lineup I've seen in years.
The Soup never leaves. Thank you, TV Gods.
This is the truck that carries around Heidi Montag's spare parts.
Anyhoo, The MTV Remote Control blog is asking readers who Heidi and Spencer's next victims boyfriend and girlfriend should be. And ... they're taking it seriously.
Of course I have the perfect guy for Heidi, it's Steve Hirsch, co-founder and co-chairman of Vivid Video. Perfect match ... he gets arm candy and a contract girl and she gets someone to tell her what to do, which apparently she needs.
My favorite comment? This one from commenter Sarah: "Rob Kardashian ...
Yeah, those Kardashians, the ones with the 14-year-old bikini model, the girl with the big ass and the sex tape, the dead-eyed amazon who married well, the "other one" with the scary Spencer-lite boyfriend, and mom-ager with the stripper pole in the house and, finally, America's most beloved Olympian/cosmetic surgery victim.
Hey, now that I think of it they ARE pretty compatible. Good for her? That's another story.
And there's the sticky issue of one of them being on E! and the other on MTV. Hey, there might be a Romeo & Juliet angle there.
Plus, this almost counts as a new Kids sketch and they made a dream come true for one Joel McHale, once a young Washingtonian who watched them on HBO and wondered "Will I ever get to appear on TV in drag?"
Well, of course he would, in fact again just this past week.
Sorry about the quality of the image. No, I really mean sorry about how ugly a woman Joel is.

I don't know where McKinney was.
I just occured to me we haven't seen Lou (who has his own Facebook fan page) on air for a while. In promos and intro packages sure, but not live on the show.
Two clips that didn't make air here, one for you Twihards (LINK) and one for all of us featuring our "friends" at British Petroleum (LINK).
Fridays at 10 eastern on E! Joel returns for s2 of Community in September on NBC.
No, no, no, this is not the blog where you'll read the florid description from RadarOnline.com about her breasts swinging around while being entered from behind by a man sporting a ... huge tool Prince Albert British accent.
Breasts. Ew. Nah, kidding of course, I was breast-fed after all.
If you haven't heard I read it first at HuffPo but it's a Radar Exclusive (though sex + Chelsea = nothing exclusive, apparently) and you can read about it at their site at this link.
Short version: The tape starts with her doing her stand-up act to a home vid camera, then there's a bunch of doggy-style sex in the middle with some alleged Brit with nice forearms (that's all I can tell from the single image from Radar, which you can see here to the left), then more stand-up, then it ends. Her mgmt. team (the Huvanes, same as Jen Aniston, she of the crotch shot late night talk show interview -- check these two links) say she used to send this vid on VHS out to comedy club owners to drum up gigs.
Oh, so that makes it okay? Is the entire world just going fucking crazy?
Since when is it appropriate or a good thing or an explanation for anything that some woman is sending out videos of herself fucking to get work? Add to that Handler's history of bedding Ted Harbert from E! Networks/Comcast (which I contend started after her first E! series was canceled and the second was -- surprise! -- greenlighted, and it gets even creepier.
Next I predict we'll find out how Chelsea paid for a bunch of cab rides in the 1990s when she erred and ended up on an old Taxicab Confessions. Now I get why the bag boy always brings her groceries to the car at Whole Foods. And the line of pizza delivery guys at her front door? Completely understood.
It's her currency, babe!
I haven't even gotten to the three things mentioned in the headline, click over the jumperoo for that and more.
Just in case you're busy, here's the clip and at the 16- second mark in this clip, which is about the one-minute mark in the show (opening credits).
It was, for me, his best friend (really? not boyfriend? not lover? just best friend? really?) Paris Childers sitting like that (see image, right) to hide his junk and drinking white wine in the tub, with Johnny in a blond wig doing an imitation of a Russian TV journalist.
(Before we move on, his name is really Paris? Really? Not something he tacked on as an homage to, well, you know ... ?
That was it, DONE! It's one thing to enjoy drag performers, which I do ... totally another to watch two adult men act like teenage girls, albeit teenage girls who drink white wine in the tub together.
McHale and The Soup are right, it is the gayest thing on TV. Even too gay for me, and ... well, you know, I have built up a tolerance through all these gays days of my life.
Watch Joel's clip at this link. It introduces his new segment, "Gay Shows," which I hope will be returning and soon, if only for the many unused clips of that guy from Little Miss Perfect on WEtv.
I do love my figure skating, though. Always have. That, ski jumping and the half-pipe are the only things I'm looking forward to at the Vancouver Games. I used to love the hockey tourney too but now all the NHL guys you know are on foreign teams and, well, what's the use?
Hey, is that real fur Johnny is wearing top of post? Shame, shame, if it is. No, I haven't joined PETA, I'm having a steak later. But there's no reason for real fur.
OMG what will happen to The Chelsea Handler Show and why is it that an image of a lame horse being shot just went through my head.
Richard Lawson (formerly of TV.com), one of my favorite web entertainment writers, is now at Gawker and writes today:
Our source tells us that Handler was the one to do the breaking-up, so look for an inevitable narrative about Handler feeling she'd sufficiently taken advantage of Harbert and then kicking him to the curb to emerge. Last summer the couple, who lived together, denied breakup rumors, with Handler reaffirming their "live-in lover" status on her show.
I imagine Chelsea will be looking toward some vaginal rejuvenation surgery and eventually a hookup with whoever runs Grey Goose vodka.
Or Ted's boss. Who is Ted's boss, Brian Roberts? Roberts has a wife and three kids. But on the other hand he's the son of the Comcast founder and he was a All-American squash player.
And like Chelsea ... he's Jewish.
Aileen Roberts, keep Chelsea away from your hubby.
Also, reports that Jonathan Ross and Chelsea may do a short project together, from the UK Daily Mail, so take it with a grain (a giant grain) of salt.
Now there's a party to which I really don't desire an invite.
Hat tip to Towleroad, which gets name-checked in the piece. Yes, I'm jealous!
The Advocate's Brandon Voss asks Joel (seen above with pal Seth Green) if he worries that losing his looks would result in the loss of his gay fan base, and Joel replies:
Yes, so I’m constantly tweezing, but I don’t really work out anymore. I just run after my two little sons and stop eating. And out of the 10 or 11 houses on the cul-de-sac we live on, about seven of them have gay couples in them — I’m not joking. They’re all in fantastic shape and their houses look terrific, so I have to keep up.
Oh Joel, you'll never be able to keep up with the Gay Joneses, you've got kids and a wife and two shows on TV and live dates around the country. Plus there's saving for the kids' college, money that could be used for laser hair removal or calf implants or (and you know this is coming, we ALL know it's coming) ... hair plugs.
Face it, it happens to all of us. We gays have the disposable income to deal with such things, however. Most of us don't have to shove our hard earned cash into some 529 plan for our kids' tuition.
Maybe a third job? How about that stool next to Kathie Lee during the 10 am menopause hour of the Today show?
Apparently so. Community's Joel McHale makes the offer on last night's Tonight Show.
Watch it by clicking here. Then watch part two of the interview at this link.
And of course, Soup's on tomorrow at 10 eastern, Community at 8 tonight on NBC.
Check out Chevy Chase's appearance on The Soup from last Friday at this link.
Didja see it? Didja? Huh?
Well, you'll have to catch it when it reairs late tonight or tomorrow because it's not posted at E! or YouTube.
What did I say in a headline on 11/30? Was it "James Franco on General Hospital -- What ... Did He Lose A Bet or Something?"
Yes, it was.
You can read the whole post at this link.
Great, now I'm absolutely sure I'm a trained journalist that's only good enough to write one liners for a basic cable clip show.
Damn!
Great Julie Benz appearance, though. Best ruining of the end of a season of a series I was looking forward to watching on my DVR in ages! Very funny.
That clip, after the jump.
It was just great minds thinking alike, right? Because a writer at The Soup wouldn't read a joke off a reasonably popular blog and decide to pitch it in his or her writers' room. Right?
Nah, I just wrong that paragraph so that I could fit a pic of Julie Benz into the bottom of this post.
Oh, Julie Benz needs a job, y'all. Anyone got anything for her?
... as fast as a Guidette straddles a permatanned hair-gelled muscleboy in a rooftop Jacuzzi.
(Seriously, that's some quick turnaround for The Soup on a show that just premiered last night. Of course, MTV probably sent them a pre-air DVD, Jersey Shore is a show tailor-made for Joel to mock.)
I've watched the first 15 minutes this morning and I'm saving the rest for savoring later, like I savor my mom's baked ziti, which is what I imagine runs through these kids' veins.
Here's McHale schooling you on the fist pump and hot tub etiquette (thank you Snookie)!
And, from the MTV Jersey Shore website, something that I'm sure will be on the DVD extras, a bonus clip of Vinnie letting loose with some impersonations of his housemates.
Check out the fan reaction at Facebook (already almost 4000 fans, including moi).
If I was the guy bleeping out the not-for-TV words said by this cast I would definitely charge by the bleep.
Did you miss it? Not DVR it? Don't have cable? Hover your mouse here and here for the first two episodes that ran back to back last night.
This new tech on the blog from Apture. Do you have a blog or website that needs the Apture plugin? Hover your mouse here for more info.
Oh, and of course watch The Soup tonight at 10 on E! For a guy doing double duty Joel's really holding up well.
You know how you think that all your favorite TV people probably live near each other and hang out together? Well, in this case it's true.
Revelation: Joel was recently at Craig Ferguson's home. From what I gather from Tuesday's show they live in the same neighborhood. No stalking of Craig or Joel allowed, however. Stressed people are not as funny and I don't need to know them, I just need them to be funny on my teevee.
I love when my TV worlds collide.
Joel interview parts one and two here, email segment here. (Hover over the filmstrip graphic and Apture will bring it to you).
Significant email segment here, it provides English usage education and reference to Manville, NJ, the SNL/Mike Myers "If it's not Scottish, it's crap" sketch and Craig's comments on Saudi Arabia.
Have at it, and remember that Craig's 1000th episode airs on December 15th. Once again, LipSyncingScot (Malinky2Stoatir at YouTube, the kind soul that provides my Craig clips) and the gang at Facebook are doing a Craig Tweet-A-Thon for that auspicious event.
Damn. Those years just went by like ... (snapped my fingers once).
For the last few months I've been taking off my glasses and holding the paper very close to my face ... because they are obviously printing things in a small typeface lately.
They are printing things in smaller typefaces, right? Right? RIGHT?
I know, I'm just kidding myself. Hey, maybe I'll start reading again. Maybe I'll start a new blog, "I Am A Book Junkie."
Okay, let's not go too far here.
Still, it makes me thing about demographics and how, as David Goyer from FlashForward and the Batman reboot said to me, I "don't matter." And that really pisses me off, like I'm not aware enough or mentally or emotionally pliable enough to adopt to new products or program concepts.
(And they're right in one regard ... I certainly haven't taken to unscripted crap like the Real Housewives Who Do No Housework or Keeping Up With the Girl With the Big Ass and the Sex Tape, but I just chalk that up to my love for traditional dramas and comedies being on the tube and, frankly, intelligence. And to a large extent my distaste with knowing too much personal business about people I don't know.)
Let me ask you this, and keep the "Tiffany Network" particularly in mind when I ask this ... Isn't the onus on CBS to convince advertisers that what they have to sell (inventory) is valuable, just like Christian Audigier convinces douchebags to wear Ed Hardy shirts? If they did that maybe I wouldn't feel so ghettoized by my not-so-advancing age?
Well, thanks once again for letting my spout. More later, after the optometrist. And I won't be getting the frames illustrated above, those were Ben Franklin's. I've been looking forever for the glasses Patton Oswalt wore when he played the Clark Rockefeller doppelganger on Reno 911 but no luck yet.
My favorite E! Emmy red carpet moments included:

Dear Joel,
I like you, I love the show, and I'm looking forward to Community (Thursdays at 8 eastern on NBC).
I really like Dave Salmoni.
Please send over Dave Salmoni when you're finished with him.
No lions or tigers or bears. Well, I'll be the bear.
Okay? Okay. Very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe
Clip after the jump. It's funny, watch it.

I just wanted to post this image of Joan Holloway.
What? She's irresistible!
Ninety percent of the men in America want to be with her, but ten percent of us just wanna take her to Barney's and dress her up.
And then make a grand entrance with her at some fabulous event. Like the Emmys, and by the way Christina Hendricks I'm free that night.
After the jump watch the jr. execs of Sterling Cooper answer fan questions and then watch them yuck it up with Joel McHale last night on The Soup.
And Levar Burton. Gotta love Levar Burton.

It would just be me posting a clip the get clicks if I didn't have something to say, so here it goes ... otherwise I'm just a blogwhore.
I think Ben Lyons is laughing because Kristen Stewart is freaking out either about the crowds or because she was just behind the convention center smoking up.
I dunno, I'm not there.
Her skin also looks the color of a heather gray t-shirt.
Speaking of t-shirts, I'm glad Taylor Lautner's wearing a button down and not a tight t-shirt, no one likes a showoff.
Kidding! We love showoffs, they should just be at least over 21 and for me at least 25, or I feel guilty learing. This kid's too young to be dirty ol' manning him. He just turned 17, after all.
So I posted a clip about these Twilight movies. So sue me. I still think vampires who don't have sex aren't vampires, they're some sort of weird fangy intern.
And they all need to meet Eric Northam. Now there's a vampire.
Clip after the jumperoo.
Promoting her new film Paper Heart, co-starring her ex Michael Cera, in a very meta way. Because the kids, they love the meta.
(I've been waiting for Yi to break out in the same way that Mindy Kaling has, but her breakout seems to be coming in a different form, and I'm excited to see what becomes of her in the business. Very smart young woman with a unique viewpoint, she should shake things up.)
Soup for all tonight at 10 on E! Joel can be seen on a practically endless loop in promos for Community all week long on NBC. And, you'll just have to put up with that, the same way you put up with that ridonkulous ad about how socialized medicine is a scourge of democracy and free markets.
And no, I got nothin' on the Arrested Development movie. I check all the time and I have no info for you. Someone needs to waterboard Mitch Hurwitz and get some answers.
Clip after the jump.

Okay, first off? Kendra Wilkinson is preggers. I know, the kid's gonna think saline is the new milk, but what can you do.
Hopefully husband-to-be Hank (with the) Baskett will do something about cleaning up after her so the kid doesn't think he or she is being born into a swamp marsh.
(The woman's a pig. The crap all over the house? I'm no Felix Unger but even I would have ring her little neck. Can she not see the ground for her inflated chest?
From her blog at Celebuzz (and no, she is not e.e. cummings):
Kendra's reading? Be afraid, be very afraid.
Her show? Two million six hundred thousand of us (me included) watching the one hour-plus premiere. Highest debut since Anna Nicole.
(You gotta wonder about the overage on the debut night. Was there really a producer saying this?
"I know it's longer than the time slot but you can't cut any of this critical footage of the breadth and expanse of her mess. You gotta get every pile of clothes and ancilliary crap on the screen. We really need to see what a slob she is."
Well, whatev, it certainly boosted the return of Denise Richards' Colon, It's Complicated. Biggest numbers ever for that show. Then again, last season its lead in was the Lohan show, so that's not really fair to compare.
Denise this season is all about taking risks, like risking showing that opening segment at Hyde where she gets harrassed. What a set-up!!!
And btw, what's to get stressed over when you're hosting a New Year's Bash in Vegas? All you gotta do is stand in the DJ booth and count down, have a drink, leave.
Sheesh, girl, you managed to get through three boob jobs and this is troubling you? What, was your co-host Lance Bass too menacing?
Did your friend Krista Allen telling you your dress sucked traumatize you that much? (She was right, and you know that because the producer told you that was gonna happen before you shot it.)
Okay, on to Kathy Griffin, who is the class of the field. Isn't that amazing? Kathy "I don't come to your job and slap the dicks out of your mouth" Griffin is the class of the field?
In her preem, she goes to Vegas to hang with Bette Midler. I kvelled, as I am required to do per my gay handbook (we get them when we hit 18). Kathy is spending this season seeking instruction from A-Listers on how to get there.
(Two Emmys? You're there, bee-atch!)
This is what I think Kathy should do after this concept quits working, she should interview every living gay icon for Bravo, just like James Lipton but with everyone from Mamie Van Doren (her very politically astute blog at this link) to RuPaul.
The big opening reveal is that former assistant Jessica is gone, but Tom and Tiffany are still there to follow Kathy around so that when she talks it doesn't look like she's talking to herself.
Which is good, because otherwise it could just be construed as a show about a woman completely losing it, which as we know is already on TV, on Headline News, called Nancy Grace.
Do you need clips? Nah. Not really. If you do, clips are out there, go get 'em.
The doctors may be out, or out there, or just out of their minds and needing to grab a breast under duress (right Dr. Coop?) but the nurse is in. Will be until after next year, too.
Our TV babe Kristin and her team at E! tells us:
Nurse Jackie premiered last night on Showtime and this afternoon...picked up! Sources tell us that Showtime has ordered a 12-episode second season of the Edie Falco series. Production on season two will begin at the end of the summer. About 1.35 million watched last night's series-premiere installment of Nurse Jackie, along with 1.7 million tuning in for Weeds, marking Showtime's biggest-ever premiere night.
Preview of next episode in a clip after the jump. Mon, 10:30, Sho.
Joel shows up on the first week of Conan at 11:35, natch, because he's a big comedy star with a series upcoming on NBC.
Everybody happy? Sure they are.
Check him out with Conan after the jump and then tonight at 10 on E! with special guest Kendra Wilkinson. Read about her appearance on The Soup's blog at this link. Then watch her in the second clip after the jump.
It's coming, you know. Soon you won't be able to turn on E! without hearing that whining high-pitched staccato giggle.
Kendra Wilkinson, who before this was known best for her work with distressed leather is moving on, moving out and getting married to an NFL player whose name, Hank Baskett, may or may not be based on his ... well, you know.
It all starts Sunday on E! at 10, but first ... today on Kendra's Celebuzz blog (sic):
There's a clip for those of you who need it, of Kendra getting a pole dancing lesson. She's considering getting involved in the sport of pole dancing.
Sport of pole dancing? Yes, I saw an article just recently in the LA Times about it, and you can read it at this link.

Sure, it's great that Joel gets his shot at network prime time. Love Joel, love his current show on E!
But I'll miss Joel on his current show on E!
How do you replace McHale? I have no idea. He is mind-bogglingly ruthlessly funny on The Soup.
Variety remarks today, "On the comedy side, Peacock programmers are said to be high on the single-cam project from Sony starring Joel McHale as a guy who becomes part of an unlikely family after he enrolls in a community college class."
So, he certainly can't do both. What happens n0w?
After the jump, from tonight's Soup Joel plays around with Dominic Monaghan from that Wolverine movie thing, just for you. And, watch the slo-cook method tonight at 10 on E! while Joel's still there.
Other pilot news at the Variety piece as well. Nothing yet on No Heroics. I'll try to find out what I can on that, especially for you Tom Riley fans that keep popping over.
And thanks for that, btw.
Once again it's that time of year that we are on the lookout for JMcH pilot news. I still think NBC screwed the pooch by not picking up The IT Crowd.

This site is the only place you can observe Earth Day and Denise's funbags.
But really? From you, Joe? Are you sure? Since when are YOU interested in Denise Richards' funbags?
Well, it started ... oh, just watch the clip. It's after the jump.
Apparently we're ramping up soon for a new season of Denise Richards (Colon) It's Complicated on E!
Honey, I hope that's a spray tan. On this Earth Day a reminder to all of you to ...
Well c'mon, I couldn't just write about Denise's funbags, could I?
Of course, her show is brought to you by E! and Ryan Seacrest Productions.
And global warming is brought to you by deniers like Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe and others, and your neighbor's wasteful energy habits.
Because that's not you still using incandescent bulbs, is it? Well, is it?
Go green, use compact flourescent. More details from EnergyStar.gov at this link.
Happy Earth Day! To everyone, and to Denise Richards' funbags (which I believe are biodegradable).

I gotta get up to Century City to pick up my TV Land Awards credentials.
Man I just hate driving up to town for almost no reason. But for you, NPH (above, who's hosting, I'll be in the same room as him, jealous? Don't be, it's a big room) I take the ride.
Does anyone wanna have lunch with me? I'll buy!
Anyone?
So, back later. I don't know how much later. I just hope my DVR doesn't swell with tasty TV stuff to the point of overflow until I get back. I'm not sure what will spurt out of it.
While I'm gone watch Joel McHale give you some nutritious tasty Soup in condensed form, and of course watch the slo-cook method of the same tonight at 10 on E!
Clip after the jump.

"One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong."
Did she put on a men's suit, down a fifth of Grey Goose and blow every gay man who voted?
Or, was it that she was the only one who would show up for the show?
Because I bet both of those answers come very close to the truth.
And get this ... I recorded her mess of a show the other day (about a week ago) because Josh Radnor was on, and he seldom does the talk shows, and he revealed that she's also a Republican.
A female comic drunk slut who's shtupping the man who decided if her show stays on the air is a Republican? Well, that kind of makes sense.
Betcha she doesn't even really know why she is a Republican. Probably because Ted is. I hate women like that.
So, I'm challenging her to a public debate on her political ideology right here right now. No jokes, no personal insults (much more of a problem for her than me, because stupid people always fall back on the personal insult when they can't defend their positions) ... just a discussion of policy and ideology.
(BTW, the drunk slut/whore charge may seem an insult, too, but what do YOU call someone who constantly wants a glass of vodka in her hands and is trading sex for money?)
Maybe the drunk whore on E! is a Republican because she likes the teabagging.
Betcha Ted loves that she loves teabagging. Maybe it's how she keeps getting renewed.
Pay no attention to the winner of these awards. It's not a meritocracy, certainly, it's just who will sit in the theatre for that long.
Did she have a flask with her? Can she go anywhere without one? I think she drinks to drown the memories of the whore-y behavior she's had to engage in to get as far as she has, which thankfully so far is just a basic cable show she gets to do because she lets an E! decision maker do her.
And if we all work very very hard we can avoid it and her. And I welcome you to do such.
(Seriously, if she were the least bit funny I would encourage it but she just rehashes the tabloids and says mean things, which makes her no more that a celebrity blogger with run of a TV studio.)
Sorry I have to put the widget after the jump. Really sorry because it looks so cool and it has a countdown clock and you know how I love them. But it autoplays and would be annoying to those who aren't fans.
(And I suffer from an obsessive need to please you. That's right, I'm talking to you!)
Click over the jump and see it and a lot more.
We're 11 days away. Of course, I have already pre-ordered from Amazon and you can to by clicking my icon below (maybe I make a little bit of change off your decision to buy from Amazon, huh? In other words, please click this icon and buy it thru this link below. Please.)
New website up called Discover Caprica is at this link.
After the jump, two clips ... a recently released new clip on YouTube featuring Paula Malcolmson, and something from Kristin at E! which promises to spill secrets, so watch at your own risk.

Gang, if you're reading this, it's time to make yourself known.
I have it on medium authority that it's time for fans of The Dish to get working to save the show.
And here's how we're gonna do it ...
Get your friends to watch. If they are from Nielsen families, all the better. And there are repeat airings of Saturday's ep on tonight, tomorrow and Thursday.
Click over to the show's website right now, E! Networks does look at web stats.
Click around, go to the Style Network forums and, I dunno ... profess your undying devotion to pop culture and fashion news, girly style with Danielle.
Snail Mail -- Style Network, c/0 E! Networks, 5750 Wilshire Boulevard,Los Angeles, CA 90036. But make it quick.
Have unlimited minutes? Call them -- (323) 954-2400.
What's a shame is that the show is really hitting its stride in the last couple weeks. Debbie Matenpoulos came on this past week and KILLED with great material. That clip is after the jump.
I know that there are scads of gay men out there who watch the Style Network, if only to look at Kimora's shoes and order them a half size bigger for themselves, so I want my brothers -- and sisters -- to get up off your asses and get to work.
And that means you too, Lance Bass, you owe your ex a solid. Do I have to post more pictures of the two of you, this time from your really unfortunate hair days?
Well, do I?
Because I will, buddy.
Clip after the jump. Let's get this done.

Great Joel news today from the Hollywood Reporter, he's cast in the lead of a Sony/NBC-Uni project called Community where he plays an attorney who finds out his degree is bogus and needs to go through the whole deal again, and evidently can only afford community college.
It was written by Dan Harmon (The Sarah Silverman Program, that VH1 sketch show with the voting gimmick from a couple years back and other stuff I've enjoyed).
And, I've got my tix for Joel's March 13 show in Long Beach.
Anyone else?
After the jump, Joel from this past weekend on The Soup, the Miley clip.

Apparently, Terry's done. Finished. Kaput.
The antics of his daughter Courtnenay include ... (Valleywag):
Nice mouth, huh? I don't care who she is, I would have stuck my foot so far up her ass she would have been able to draw the tread on the bottom of my Nikes from memory.
But get this ... right at the end of the post there's this tasty nugget:
Ah, we love seeing the disgustingly rich for no reason on our TVs, huh? How much you wanna bet Ryan Seacrest will have something to do with this show?
The young and icky by association Semel sounds like the perfect companion to another season of Denise Richards' show. Hey, if Dina Lohan is suitable for TV, just about anyone is. Jack the Ripper Reality Show? Anyone?
I would bet there's a direct correlation to how much young rich girls act out and how much attention they got from daddy growing up.
Won't be her first unscripted go-round, btw, Courtenay was in the cast of Filthy Rich: Cattle Drive on E!, where Ryan currently works (among his many employers).
What was up with TV's Ryan Seacrest? Watch him talk to T.I. after the jump about his weapons conviction? What, is he now the sheriff of the red carpet? Will he wear formal chaps with fringe if he's gonna be the sheriff of the red carpet?
And in the second clip, the Jennifer Hudson interview, he doesn't know the name of her fiance, which isn't like him. And is it me or is he not as crisp in these interviews? At one point in the Hudson interview it kind of seems like he's ... slowing down.
All those jobs and all that salon time takes it out of a guy.
I'm very happy Adele won, curse be damned. Great MTV profile at this link.
Watch her clips at Yahoo! Music, where I find all my music video embeds.
Gee, after seeing what T.I. went through with Seacrest, good thing Chris Brown didn't try to walk the red carpet after ... (MTV):
Damn! What's up with that? Domestic battery? Absolutely unforgiveable.
Nineteen years old and hitting his girlfriend? After everything him and his mother went through with an abusive stepfather?
Giant Magazine from September 2007:
That's why this is either very surprising or not at all so, I guess. I don't really understand how one becomes "that guy."

The Christian Bale clip after the jump, but first, re the woman who tells the world that she has a gay man inside of her ... (The Soup Uberblog):
Using innovative ultrasound technology, Soup Blog sources spoke with the gay man, one Randall Brebs, who has lived inside the ex-Spice Girl for the last three years.
“She really needs to redecorate, for God’s sake,” stated the
incredibly small Brebs, who uses Beckham’s stomach as a combined living
room and bed room, while utilizing her lower intestine as a workout
facility.
After the jump, Condensed Soup for this week and the Christian Bale tirade clip you can't miss.
The only McHales that count, outside of Boston, where Kevin is still very popular.
Joel, wife Sarah and their oldest met my friend Craig Peters (more at CKPCreative.com) at the Thomas and Friends, A Circus Comes to Town benefit for Autism Speaks last night at the Nokia Theatre in LA.
"Great guy, very down to earth. I said to him, 'Thanks for making me laugh my ass off every Friday night," my cellphone said mere hours later when I got the urgent text from Craig.
How did I know it was a urgent text? Because it's the first time I have ever gotten a text message from someone I actually know.
The other times, it was some stranger telling me to buy stock. Stranger, that's not gonna work very well.
I don't even know how Craig has my cell number.
But leave it to old friends to find you wherever you are. Still, I would have made myself available to you Craig, even even for an hour, before you got back on the plane. Next time, call me earlier.
And thank you Getty Images. I promise to remove this image after the requisite thirty days.
What Joel didn't know was that his CSI: Miami buddy David Caruso had shown up at the afternoon show just that same day.
Joel riffing on Caruso in a clip after the jump.

Joel is at the South Beach Comedy Festival this weekend with a panoply of A-list standups. He performs on the 24th. That's tomorrow.
Click here and a little window with a media player will open up with some interview audio clips from them.
If you wanna know what Joel is doing in front of this short bus, you'll listen to the interview.
And in Condensed Soup, Rock of Love Bus has a broken down booby, Bromance hits a crying jag and there are no tissues in The Principal's Office.
Soup's on tonight at 10 on E! And now that I have SciFi in HD and they are on an eastern time zone schedule, I can get my BSG in before Joel.
After the jump.

Not only did 24 executive producer Howard Gordon tell reporters he might very well "blow up the whole world" and Jack Bauer with it, but he's also talking about doing a big-screen 24 movie that will happen when the Fox series ends—and that end might come sooner than you think.
"My hope is to go after the eighth season," Gordon tells us, "and Kiefer and I have talked about it, and I think that’s sort of what we’re aiming for."
Now, I don't watch the show, but this seems like a good idea from a bunch of different angles. I can't really figure out how long Sutherland has left on his contract, renewed in 2006 because I don't know what they do about last year (no show). But if you don't count 2008 I think his deal ends this year, which means another renegotiation or an additional agreement to cover the final stanza and the film.
I had thought a couple years ago that they might try to go on with another lead, at the time Rick Schroeder was spending a year on the show. I guess I was horribly wrong again.
I have E!'s red carpet coverage from the Fox premiere of this season after the jump. Two clips, Sutherland and Carlos Bernard.
UPDATE: I found a much better copy of the clip, and it's after the jump.
Man, I wish I had the clip on this. It was the most uncomfortable television I've seen since Holly thought Kevin was special.
Then, minutes later, Megan Fox tells the world she's a tranny. Then, tells us Brian Austin Green didn't come because he didn't want to be seen with her because she's just so horrible looking, an Alan Alda doppelganger.
Now that's some good TV. But does there really need to be more reason sto question the judgment of Brian Austin Green.
And Piven? Here with his mom, just as I predicted.
And E! goes four minutes over, because the spillover is good for their quarter hour number? Anyone?
I think that's why. That's how I missed Kate Winslet winning for The Reader.
Of course, I'm not seeing it live. The Oscars are the only show that goes live in the LA market.
I'll keep looking for the Seacrest diss. There's a low quality version at this link.
I have Megan Fox after the jump with Giuliana.
