TV Buzz “Mob Wives” star and general H.B.I.C. Angela “Big Ang” Raiola was on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” tonight and it was amazing. No, seriously—AMAZING. God, I love this woman so much.
TV Buzz Last week, Jimmy Kimmel issued a new prank challenge to his viewers: Unplug the TV at a crucial moment during Sunday's Super Bowl XLVI and film the reactions of loved ones and friends. On his show tonight, Kimmel aired the results—they did not disappoint.
TV Buzz NBC debuted a promotional spot called “The Brotherhood of Man” over the weekend and while it was cool to see Ron Swanson, Jack Donaghy, Andy Bernard, and Brian Williams performing a musical ditty together, it also caused many rolled eyes and raised eyebrows. Not to worry, internet! TV networks have been churning out these silly ads — in which all of the network's biggest stars put on a song and dance in one long extended commercial — for decades.
TV Buzz Along with ABC's announcement that “Cougar Town” will return to their schedule on February 14th, came this poster with the words “Bad title. Good comedy.” Guess this means that they're in on the joke? (via popculturebrain.com)
TV Buzz Nationally-televised humiliation at its finest. It's all good though, because ZOMG girls in bikinis falling down in the snow!
Politics Buzz This just keeps getting better. Three days after announcing the formation of a presidential exploratory committee following a transfer of control over his Super PAC to Jon Stewart—and mere hours after that same Super PAC released a Mitt Romney attack ad set to air this week in South Carolina—Stephen Colbert fielded questions about it all from George Stephanopoulos Sunday morning during an at-times contentious appearance on ABC's “This Week.” And it was awesome.
TV Buzz “Look it up.” Two days after tugging on Lady Gaga's wig in an interview with Newsweek, Madonna went and snatched off the whole damn thing on last night's “20/20,” the first time she publicly addressed the issue of similarities between Gaga's “Born This Way” and her song, “Express Yourself.”
TV Buzz I tuned into “Celebrity Wife Swap” last night and what I saw was severely disappointing: Flava Flav is just a child stuck inside of a 57-year-old's body. No wonder he never found love on all of those “Flavor Of Love” shows.
Celebrity Buzz The “New Girl” star has finally finalized her divorce from that musician guy! Rejoice! Financial documents recently filled by her lawyer show that the beautiful and talented Brooklynite is rich, frugal AND generous. Too bad for us scrubs Joseph Gordon-Levitt has probably already grabbed that rebound.
TV Buzz In honor of ABC's new sictom “Work It!,” here are 5 Susan B. Anthony quotes photoshopped on to screencaps. “Honor.”
TV Buzz Crazytown. I don't know what's crazier here: the everyday life that Gary Busey lives, or how by the end of the episode, Busey's family became the best of friends with formerly disgraced Evangelical minister Ted Haggard and his wife. The lack of shouting matches and zany disputes between the two “swapped” families was almost alarming — but don't worry, there were plenty of bizarre moments to keep us entertained. Check out the best of the worst clips from last night's “Celebrity Wife Swap” below.
This year, “The Bachelor” has contestants that are your regular, run-of-the-mill crazies as well as the desperate, the chipper, the sneaky, the maniacal, and …the Grandma? Here are all of the women foolishly looking for love on the nationally televised reality series this year.
Culture Buzz This was Mostafa Kamel Hendi's second attempt at robbing the We Buy Gold Store in Hendersonville, North Carolina. 26-year-old clerk Derek Mothershead made sure that it was his last.
Culture Buzz Representative Gabby Giffords gives her first television interview since being shot in the head by Jared Laughner. She frequently struggles with words and has a long road ahead of her, but that only makes her progress all the more inspirational.
Politics Buzz Or was he dissing the Tea Party? Maybe both. Dude works in mysterious, some say infuriating, ways.
Everybody come out…the water is fine. ABC News anchor Dan Kloeffler, while reporting on Spock announcing that he's gay, let slip on air that he'd like to date Zachary Quinto. He later clarified that, yes, he is indeed gay. Good for you, buddy!
Culture Buzz So. Many. Pop culture. References. Sure you can buy poster prints of Neil Cameron's excellent homage to geekery, but why is there no book?!
This is so awesome. Check out this creative new spin on the old alphabet song by using sounds made by babies and toddlers.
ABC's Bachelor Pad featured a competition that saw half-naked gorgeous people clinging to each other while being suspended above a bed. I am personally disturbed by Billy Bush's complaints about women wearing thong bikinis on nation television.
Celebrity Buzz When asked by Dan Harris if she's been overshadowed by Kim Kardashian and is generally past her prime, Paris Hilton abruptly walks out of an interview with ABC News. That's all well and good, but what's been overshadowed by the temper tantrum is the fact that she built a scale model of her mansion for her dogs. A mansion for dogs. It has a chandelier. A chandelier for dogs.
