The scores of promos for “Whitney” during last Sunday night’s Falcons game promised something awful. It delivered. Our heroine is rather less randy, and the central scene of the Whitney pilot concerns her effort to reheat a sex life that … Continue reading →

Humorless queen du jour
Not everyone was amused by Greg the flamboyant kid on “Curb”: Name: Stuffed Animal Date posted: 9/13/2011 4:42:08 PM Hometown: Kansas City Comment: I despise any kind of crude humor that sneers at Gay identity, but it really infuriates me when children are involved. Gay and Transgender kids catch holy Hell from other kids; they [...]
America’s next great comedic talent
That is to say, the first great comedic talent in a long time: Eddie Schweighardt, who played Greg the 7-year-old “Project Runway” fan on the inspired season finale of “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” Brilliant.

Master of the sitcom
If Ricky Gervais and Larry David aren’t involved, I’m not watching. Don’t even compare the U.S. version of “The Office” with Gervais’. “Extras” was even better. Gervais’ latest sounds extremely promising. The show follows the daily life of a dwarf actor — played by Warwick Davis — who runs a talent agency for fellow dwarves [...]
Dear Thief (part three)
Sigh. Life for me is never dull or boring. Most of the time it’s down right funny (well you know, later, after the pain subsides). It’s a thrill a minute for me.If you don’t remember the Dear Thief chronicles, take a second to (re)acquaint yourselves. …

Coming soon to the Hell Cineplex
The perpetually annoying Russell Brand stars in a pointless remake of “Arthur.” Brand is Britain’s answer to Adam Sandler — terribly unfunny yet strangely popular. Filed under: comedy, Film
EXCLUSIVE: Gallagher stole my act
Commenting on a post from last June about the feud between the Gallagher brothers (not Noel and Liam), Scott reveals that neither sibling invented the art of melon smashing. “Whether or not the smashed watermelons [were] either brother’s idea o…
EXCLUSIVE: Gallagher ripped off my act!
Commenting on a post from last June about the feud between the Gallagher brothers (not Noel and Liam), Scott reveals that neither sibling invented the art of melon smashing. Whether or not the smashed watermelons what either brother’s idea or whomever did it first is irrelevant. Why? because I did it first in my act [...]

Starfucker du jour
Judd Apatow, the writer/director of “Funny People” also responsible for introducing bromance to the vernacular, stands up for his fellow Hollywood phonies. Then he defended the poor, defenseless The Tourist: “[Gervais] says the characters were two-dimensional. Then he says he hasn’t seen The Tourist. So as a comedian, that’s not fair, is it?
