Heath’s Drug Party
A two year old video of Heath Ledger at a Hollywood party, in which drugs were being used, has emerged. Entertainment Tonight and The Insider won’t show you the video, so here it is for you to see.
Catching Up Part 2
One more note for those looking forward to the Lost Season 4 premier tomorrow. Tonight ABC will be reairing an enhanced version of the Season 3 finale, Through the Looking Glass. Read more
Catching Up
Well, this is the week I’ve been waiting for. Thursday is the premier of the fourth season of Lost. After months of pondering the mindfuck that was the Season 3 finale we are finally in store for more mindfucking, at least I hope so. Read more
The Best Of Black Entertainment
In honor of Martin Luther King day, I thought I would take a look at some of the best moments in the history of black entertainment.
Idols And Freaks
American Idol is back and so are the freaks. It’s only been two episodes and we have already gotten a birdman and stalker to go along with the usual freaks.
Renegade Television
One of the most perfect things ever broadcast over the waves of television was the first season of Wonder Showzen by the art/media collective known as PFFR. It didn’t last long thanks to the non-stop references to abortion, Hitler, and puppet sex.
The creators of Wonder Showzen have returned after a hiatus - presumably on the moon - with a (barely) animated show on Adult Swim called Xavier: Renegade Angel.
Good Fucking Morning America
This morning on Good Morning America, Diane Keaton dropped the f-bomb on Diane Sawyer.
60 Minutes To Long
Why is Andy Rooney still alive? He’s like a cockroach, he’ll never go away. Read more
The Writerless Rant
I really love Bill Maher and his Real Time show. It seems to be one of the last havens of smart, witty, nail-on-the-head discussion on television. In fact, I think a show teaming Maher and Jon Stewart would be a liberal powerhouse unlike any other; they should run for President and Vice President.
Maher has a potent mix of brains, truth, and anger which no writer’s strike can stop, as Maher showed on last night’s return to the airwaves minus his staff.
Hear ‘N Theremin
Certain sounds remind us of particular movies or time periods. We only need to hear the first explosive blast of horns to recognize the Star Wars fanfare, and the tinny sound of Moog synthesizers whisk us back to the buddy comedies of the mid-eighties.
Few instruments represent their time period better than the theremin, a mystical musical machine that everyone recognizes by sound, but few understand in application.
Are You Experienced?
During the second half of season 2, Lost kicked off a revolutionary new way of keeping up with the show over the summer hiatus and lead us right into the next season. It was called the Lost Experience and gave those that wanted it a bit more insight into the mythology of the show. That concept has returned in order to lead us right up to the premire of season 4.

Too Good For Their Own Good
My review of Juno and the mention of Jason Bateman and Arrested Development got me to thinking about television shows that that were cut short by networks unwilling to give quality a chance.
The Origins Of Spock
Have you ever wondered where the idea for the Mr. Spock character came from? Was he a freak, or maybe an outcast, or maybe a half-breed, or maybe he was just a brilliant Jew? It turns out that he may have been all of the above, but most importantly an alien Jew.
Beat The Press
Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul stepped into the real political arena this morning as he submitted to a furious grilling by Tim Russert on Meet The Press.
Russert, armed with a handful of neo-con spin questions, did the bidding of his Big Media masters and attempted to assassinate Paul’s political chances. To some degree, Russert succeeded.
If Ron Paul Can’t Get Air Time, His Supporters Will
If Fox, CNN and MSNBC won’t give Ron Paul air time. his supporters will take it from other candidates. This past week, Rudy “911″ Guiliani visited St. Louis. The local Fox affiliate send a reporter out to the site of his speech, presumably to get fan reaction. What they got, was something else.
VH1 At It Again
In a new list, for which VH1 is becoming infamous, the one time music video outlet has brought us the top 100 songs of the 90’s. First of all a list like this could be fun if you were to get it right, unfortunately the masterminds at VH1 always find a way to fuck this shit up. That is not to say that they got number 1 wrong, they most certainly got it right. But a choice so obvious is a bit anti-climactic that the focus goes on the rest of the list and that is where things go wrong. Here’s the top ten. Read more
Never Trust The Mullet
The season finale of the T.V. show Survivor aired this past Sunday. The winner was gay flight attendant Todd Herzog. He, however, isn’t the most talked about person from this season’s cast. Mullet-Head, white trash, hoosier, lunch lady extraordinaire Denise Martin has stolen the spotlight.
Lost Again
I feel like a may be beating a dead horse with this, but this is too good to pass up. Over the weekend I posted the teaser trailer for the upcoming fourth season of Lost. Well now Kristin Dos Santos from E! has posted the extended trailer and it is quite good and very telling. So please indulge me and be warned that this may contain some information that you may consider to be spoilers. Season 4 is going to kick fucking ass, that is for sure.
Politics, Religion, and Logic Don’t Mix
Would you want your kids anywhere near Mike Huckabee during Christmas? If Ron Paul has his way, then your kids - and the rest of us - will be safe from the continued sermonizing of American politics.
Peter Brady Thinks Lesbians Are Gross
What is wrong with Peter Brady? Peter, whose real name is Christoper Knight, seems to be a little confused. First, until a few years ago, he couldn’t get a job. Well, he did get to do the occasional Very Brady Christmas Special. That was it, though. Then in 2005, VH1 came calling. They wanted him to be on the Surreal Life and he didn’t have anything else to do, so he accepted.
