I haven’t mentioned this story yet, but if you haven’t been following it elsewhere, Letterman explains everything in this clip. Basically, the other night he joked that while Sarah Palin was in town earlier in the week to attend a Yankees game with Rudy Giuliani, Alex Rodriguez “knocked up” her daughter. Letterman didn’t realize that Palin was in town with …

Celebrity chef and star of Hell’s Kitchen Gordon Ramsay went nuts on an Australian journalist during a food show in Melbourne. Gordon Ramsay has outraged women’s groups in Australia by depicting a leading female television journalist as a lesbian pig.

“After nine years, my [Days Of Our Lives] contract was up, but I was hosting the number one show for Nickelodeon, Finders Keepers. It was on cable, but this was before everybody had Nickelodeon. Mark Summers was doing Double Dare. I was getting bigger ratings than Mark. I became the number one host for kids for two seasons, and then …

Fox is plotting to play matchmaker to a couple of marriage-starved strangers. Net has picked up the pilot “I Married a Stranger,” from A. Smith and Co., the shingle behind “Hell’s Kitchen” and …

After initial reports that actor David Carradine had committed suicide by hanging, comes word that he probably died accidentally after engaging in auto-erotic asphyxiation – just as in the case of INXS frontman Michael Hutchence.

Susan Boyle, the frumpy Scottish (possibly autistic) woman whose Britain’s Got Talent audition went on to became the most viewed video clip in the history of the world, lost in that show’s finals last night. The winner was hip-hop dance team Diversity.

And homophobia reigns. In a first for the show, last night’s season premiere of So You Think You Can Dance featured a male couple (one straight, one gay). Who both fell on their asses. Damn. The judges didn’t like the idea of a male pair at all, with one saying, “I think you’d probably alienate our audience” and “I like …

Everybody is Facebooking and Twittering over the meaning behind Adam’s performance of Sam Cook’s civil rights anthem A Change Is Gonna Come. Interesting selection.

Adam Lambert was typically great tonight covering U2 and Aerosmith, but to my mind, both Danny Gokey and Kris Allen turned in their best performances of the season. Tomorrow will be interesting.

Even Elizabeth Hasselbeck chimes saying, “Joe The Plumber is not invited anywhere around ME,” referring to his statement that he wouldn’t let his children be around his mythical gay friends.

As expected (and predicted by Dial Idol).

Adam Lambert’s patented wailing was well-suited to tonight’s rock theme, especially for a Led Zeppelin cover. Both Danny and Kris were disasters, but I still wouldn’t be surprised to see Alison go tomorrow night.

Oprah, Gayle, Jenny McCarthy, Nate Berkus and Hugh Jackman discussed gay marriage on Friday’s episode. (Although I think this was taped at least two weeks ago.) (Via – Good As You)

According to the National Enquirer, producers of The View want Carrie Prejean to replace Elizabeth Hasselbeck as House Wingnut when Hasselbeck goes on maternity leave later this year. “Elisabeth really has something to worry about,” said a show source, who revealed that while Dizzie Lizzie’s on maternity leave, Walters will audition, as her fill-in, the new right-wing babe on the …

Everybody’s pick for next to go, Matt Giraud, was indeed next to go. The shocker was Adam Lambert placing in the bottom two. Immediately the fan forums lit up with cries of “set-up!” and “rigged!” as devotees speculated that the producers were engaging in shenanigans. Two words: Chris Daughtry.
