Finally, someone said it the way I would say it. Thank you Donnie Deutsch for calling out topless Kardashians for what it is, an act of desperation. And good on the Today Show, also part of the Comcast NBC/Universal family, for letting him say it. And while they were at it, here's to someone that I hardly ever align myself with, one Star Jones (who's married more gay men than I have). Both

This is a very good idea VH1 has had here. Very good indeed. This, boys and girls is your salvation. Your are being saved from the evil Hasselbeck by the exact opposite of her. Smart, funny, cool, and much more attractive Carrie Keagan brings her VH1 morning show Big Morning Buzz Live to the 10 o'clock hour with cohost Jason Dundas (below).

Even easier than an iTunes download ... just click and verify your age (because it's intended for mature audiences) and you're off to the races.

This theory started bubbling last night while watching Happy Endings and my realizing that I would like to watch Brad and Jane do it but I don't want to watch Temperance Brennan and Seeley Booth from Bones do it. Yes I think about these things. And yes, I would even watch Brad and Jane do it with the bacon costume. ESPECIALLY with the bacon costume. Mmm, bacon. So, here's the thing. Just like

Great musical performances from Megan Hilty (my Glinda from the LA company of Wicked) and Katharine McPhee (don't get me started on the whole "introducing" thing they're doing in the marketing and she's no Streep

What's that? The American people have voted you the People's Choice TV comedy actor for the role you play on your hit sitcom How I Met Your Mother? The role of a womanizing attorney who works at a global financial institution? And ...oh, and is it true that there are rumors that you'll take over hosting the country's number one show, American Idol, from Ryan Seacrest who unlike you is not an out

But about those very hackneyed and stereotype-laden jokes on the show it's all okay because as a gay man he knows about bigotry. Or so I've read. Half my Twitter feed is at the Television Critics Association presentations in, what, Pasadena? Anyhow, apparently they had some things to say to MP King he of the Sex and the City. Things.

I've been recording and watching reruns of 30 Rock for the last week in prep for the season premiere. When you see a bunch of episodes at once it really hits you that this is still the best written comedy on TV. It delivers laughs consistently in a way that a lot of single camera shows can't manage. Big laughs, not just smiling nodding stuff like if it was a Showtime "comedy." (Not that I don't

 She's already attempted Marilyn, but that was just pics. Now she'll have to move and speak, too.  Deadline is reporting that Lifetime is talking to Lindsay for a movie about Taylor's marriages to Richard Burton. From what I know about that time in Taylor's life there was a lot of drinking going on. Lindsay should do just fine ... she's been researching the role since just after Mean Girls came

You know, because of the movie called Bent about the two gay concentration camp residents and that bent is a pejorative for gay in the UK. So, that's a problem for NBC. Also, they have a guy fronting this show, David Walton, who has be prominent in two other recent failed romantic comedies for the network, 100 Questions and Perfect Couples and they have him playing basically the same character

Something to point out today on the occasion of the fifth season premiere of Jersey Shore Thursday at 10 pm: the show premiered in December 2009. That's five "seasons" in 25 months. Meanwhile, Arrested Development fans will have to subscribe to Netflix to see new episodes of that show, the first since it was canceled in February 2006. Just sayin'.

Okay everyone, just stop piling on. Before you write off everyone involved, remember how much you enjoyed Benjamin Koldyke on Big Love and How I Met Your Mother. He's solid in both comedy and drama, he writes and directs comedy shorts, he's not bad to look at ... what I'm saying here is don't write off Ben Koldyke. I kinda get why he took this gig. First of all I'm sure he thought it wouldn't

My DVR bounty has shriveled down to almost nothing (thank you network schedules) so I'm scouring the program listings to find stuff to watch and came upon three films that I really enjoyed.
