TV Buzz “Go ahead and sell me out and I'll leave your ship bare.” Adele has already responded to comments made by fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld that described the British singer as “too fat.” Now, in this clip from his show on CNN tonight, Anderson Cooper joins the anti-Lagerfeld fray.
TV Buzz Roland S. Martin is about to have even more time to tweet. That's because CNN announced this afternoon that Martin, a contributor to the network, has been suspended indefinitely following a pair of homophobic tweets he wrote during last Sunday's Super Bowl (which, as BuzzFeed pointed out, were representative of a larger anti-gay pattern of his).
TV Buzz Three times! Plus an “LOL” from John King for good measure. Let me know what your reaction to Blitzer's reaction is down in the comments.
Politics Buzz Blitzer also wants viewers to “keep some perspective on what's going on.” This said during CNN's marathon coverage of caucuses in Minnesota and Colorado and the meaningless Missouri “beauty contest” primary.
Politics Buzz On flight to Minneapolis, Romney does damage control. Tweets from Reuters' Sam Youngman.
TV Buzz “Maybe she's kind of a Christian conservative Republican.” On Wednesday's “Piers Morgan Tonight,” Alec Baldwin recounted the day his “Words With Friends” addiction got him kicked off an American Airlines flight for refusing to turn off his iPhone. He did not mince words.
TV Buzz And Baldwin asked about Piers’ love life, no less! Note to “30 Rock” writers: there is absolutely no need to give Jack Dohanghy a storyline in which he develops a British accent. We’ve heard much better.
Politics Buzz Here's something you don't see every day. Following his interview with Newt Gingrich's daughters on CNN tonight, Piers Morgan was corrected by Wolf Blitzer for suggesting during it that John King's debate-opening question to Gingrich on Thursday about his ex-wife's “open marriage” claims constituted an attack against Gingrich.
Politics Buzz Calls them “despicable.” Says they “undermine our capacity for self-government.”
Politics Buzz Asked about explosive interview with his ex-wife, Gingrich punches back at the hated media. CNN on the defensive.
TV Buzz Not that there's anything wrong with that! During a discussion on “Piers Morgan Tonight” on Tuesday, Rosie O'Donnell claimed she didn't know any closeted gay celebrities. “People say to me all the time, 'Tom Cruise is gay,'” O'Donnell explained. So… is he?
Politics Buzz Tell us how you really feel. On her syndicated radio show Friday, Tea Party activist and CNN contributor Dana Loesch defended four U.S. Marines shown in a video urinating on dead Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan, saying she'd have done the same. But perhaps more notable than Loesch's comments is CNN's response to them.
Politics Buzz While Newt's choice of animal spirit isn't very surprising, his reason for choosing it is like… whoa.
TV Buzz “I'm sorry, ma'am, but we don't make a violin that small.” On last night's Daily Show, Jon Stewart skewered CNN “Early Start” anchors Ashleigh Banfield and Zoraida Sambolin for a horribly misguided, cringe-inducing segment called “Wake 'Em Up” in which they prank call random famous people at 5:00 AM. So this morning, Banfield did what any rational, able-to-take-a-joke person would and took it in stride. HAH JUST KIDDING. (h/t Mediaite)
TV Buzz Embarrassing doesn't even begin to describe this. CNN recently premiered “Early Start,” a morning show anchored by Ashleigh Banfield and Zoraida Sambolin. It features a segment called “Wake 'Em Up,” during which the ladies prank call a random famous person at five-something in the morning, because WHAT THE HELL? To see just how badly things went—twice!—check out this clip of Jon Stewart laying into Banfield and Sambolin on tonight's “Daily Show.” (via Mediaite)
Politics Buzz No live coverage after GOP debate.
Politics Buzz Just like the Iowa caucuses themselves, cable news networks covering the results on Tuesday weren't free of technical difficulties. Stephen Colbert exploited these flubs, from Brett Baier and Megyn Kelly's remedial math failures on Fox News to Erin Burnett's inability to use CNN's new “flicking wall,” on tonight's “Report.”
TV Buzz The bra/panty-clad Griffin got Anderson Cooper to admit she has “a rockin' body,” but, when she said “your turn,” the silver fox declined to partake in the underwear party. First letdown of 2012?
Politics Buzz Awkward. Ron Paul really doesn't like talking about the outrageously offensive newsletters he funded, published and profited from (but denies reading, writing or remembering).
Got 'em.
It's a veritable “Breaking Bad” buffet. Okay, technically, these…
