OMFG: Kris Jenner to Reveal Khloe’s Real Dad on National Television

Photo: Khloe Kardashian and Alex Roldan Kris Jenner, congratulations. You really take the cake. I mean it. Just have it. Have it all. I cannot even begin to wrap my brain around a how a mother could possibly do this to her daughter---her nicest, most sincere, very tallest daughter---but sources speculate that Kris Jenner plans to formally 'out' Khloe Kardashian's real dad on national TV. Of all the evil machinations…! And here I am, reporting it to you like some schmo. Yep, Kris. Yep. You've finally broken me. You've won. It's...

Rumor Mill: Dexter Is Dating His Sister Again

Photo: 'Dexter' costars Jennifer Carpenter and Michael C. Hall Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter play siblings on TV. So people were honestly a little skeeved back in 2008 when the couple ran away together and eloped. And that whole thing was very, "You guys! They aren't actually Luke and Leia," and anyway, I've always thought Dexter and his sister make an oddly good-looking couple. Don't they? Then, the drama. Is Julia Stiles some creep-o homewrecker? The world will never know. We do know, however, that the Dexter costars are splitsville, ...

Did Everyone Watch ‘Drew Peterson: Untouchable’ on Lifetime This Weekend? Because Drew Peterson Did

Photo: Drew Peterson on the left, Rob Lowe on the right I had big Saturday night plans, you guys. My mother's nurse and I popped popcorn and uncapped the pickles; we'd been planning our evening for months. And from 7-9pm CST, we were treated to the magnificent alternate reality that is Drew Peterson: Untouchable. First of all, I have to hand it to Rob Lowe. His accent was "untouchable," for sure; he was a cross between Dennis Farina and Malcolm in the Middle's Jane Kaczmarek. I am not going to lie, though: this was the second-worst movie I hav...

‘The Daily Show’ Talks SOPA

The Daily ShowGet More: Daily Show Full Episodes,Political Humor & Satire Blog,The Daily Show on Facebook I don't know if you've noticed this, but the Internet has been, from the very beginning, this thing we use to store and access documents. It didn't take us long to figure out how to add pictures to those documents, and then we started experimenting with other media, like awful MIDI songs. So the Internet has always been a little squirrelly when it comes to "intellectual property" and copylaw. I certainly hope you'v...

Here We Go Again: Now Khloe’s Dad Is O.J. Simpson

Photo: Khloe Kardashian and O.J. National Enquirer cover story Now this is the kind of story I wouldn't poke with a ten-foot stick, ordinarily. Paternity rumors always make me sad: there's always one family member who seems a little different, a little "on the outside." And as observers, we all catch ourselves trying to explain those telltale differences. Take Prince Harry, whose bad behavior and red hair make him a pretty obvious target for speculation. Of course Khloe Kardashian is different from the other Kardashians---she's the nice one, the fu...

Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Son Has Developed a Serious Pottymouth

Photo: Jeffrey Dean Morgan, looking tough yet professorial Jeffrey Dean Morgan---the handsome actor who looks either like Javier Bardem or like Robert Downey, Jr., depending on the angle---is a dad. I keep forgetting he's a dad! The dashing Jeffrey Downey Bardem recently learned the hard way that, uh, it isn't a good idea to curse around tots, least of all your own progeny: Jeffrey Dean Morgan might want to choose his words more carefully: his potty-mouth is rubbing off on his 22-month-old son, Gus! "I took him to dinner the other night and he said, 'Bulls-...

Meet the Star of Tonight’s ‘Criminal Minds,’ Jeff Newburg

Photo: Rising star Jeff Newburg plays a crucial role in tonight's 'Criminal Minds' Jeff Newburg is one to watch. He is one of the most audaciously talented individuals I've yet had the privilege of encountering. And I'll be honest with you: it's easy to write him off because, at least in person, he's a little too good-looking to take seriously. (Ladies!) As an actor, Jeff Newburg is subtle and careful. Which is interesting, because Everyday Newburg is emotive and animated and very loose. The interview format actually shortchanges him, and this is very much my fault: it'...

Get Preemptively Excited for ‘Burt Wonderstone’

Photo: Steve Carell stars as magician Burt Wonderstone This image of comedy treasure Steve Carell ought to whet your interest in next year's Burt Wonderstone, in which Carell stars as Burt Wonderstone. The premise: a Vegas magician "breaks up with his longtime stage partner" (thank you, IMDb), and then a "new, 'hip' street magician" threatens the aging Wonderstone's "relevance." Hee hee! Jim Carrey stars as Wonderstone's professional nemesis, Steve Haines. Here he is as Steve Haines: God, that is so perfect. Whoever designed the cos...

In Kate Major News: Here’s a Notarized Affidavit from Arresting Officer Andrew Crawford

Photo: Kate Major's OTHER mugshot First of all, I have to hand it to Kate Major's arresting officer, Andrew Crawford, because this is one of the best affidavits I've ever read. I think it must be difficult to turn police procedure into a riveting narrative about some crazy-eyed 28-year-old woman slinging racist epithets and "almost kicking Officer McCoy," but Officer Crawford has done it. There are so many great details, too, like when three officers are needed to restrain Kate Major. Or how about that time she said he...

Actors Who Have Played Martin Luther King, Jr.

Photo: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I seldom find something I'm really excited to read in The Dallas Weekly---I mean, really---but their catalogue of actors who have played Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is extraordinary. (Yes, I even filched their entire image gallery. That's how excited I am.) Some of television and film's very best actors have committed Dr. King's legacy to screen. In no particular order: Jeffrey Wright Tony and Golden Globe winner Jeffrey Wright may best be remembered for his title role in Basquia...

Random Notes (and Video!) from Last Night’s Golden Globes

So! The Golden Globes. Yes, I watched them. Ricky Gervais was darling---although this year's show was comparatively flaccid, I thought. (Michael Fassbender thought so, too.) There was one cut, early in the evening, where the cameras went to Harrison Ford. He was particularly unsmiling. Then the camera hopped to Kate Capshaw, sitting with husband Steven Spielberg, and they looked giddy. The contrast, from Harrison to Kate, was hilarious. Everything Madonna said aloud last night---from the vacuous, to the pretentious, to the whatever---was magical. But this particular bit was especially well played, and I think Madonna's wry twerpiness blindsided the audience: On an unhappier note: Madonna won Best Original Song for "Masterpiece," a song from her directorial debut W.E.. "I want… people… to pay attention to… the film," she said during her acceptance speech, a little uneasily. Soon after, movie critic Roger Ebert tweeted, "Okay, I do this for a living, and I just had to look up 'W.E.' on IMDb." Ouch. It burns. Also: Watch out, Joseph Gordon-Levitt! Every time the camera cut to you, my mother blushed and lifted her eyebrows a little suggestively. (I caught her doing this, and I said to her, "I know! Dimple City!") Anyway, today is my mother's birthday! She's 80 years old! So watch your back, Joe, because she is in love with you. William H. Macy and Felicity Huffman (AKA "Filliam H. Muffman") presented the award for Best Supporting Actress in a TV Series together, and their song knocked the entire evening on its ass: Read More /> So! The Golden Globes. Yes, I watched them.

Brad Who? Charlize Rules the Cover of ‘W Magazine’

Photo: Charlize Theron on the February cover of W Magazine Move over, Brad! W Magazine has another cover model---her name is Charlize Theron, maybe you've heard of her?---and she is "bringing the hotness" in ways Brad Pitt can only dream. Both Brad and Charlize have their own separate covers for W's February "Movie Issue," and if you ask me, Charlize totally wins. Seriously, how good does she look? I ask you. W's Lynn Hirschberg talked to Charlize about her early career, as well as her latest flick, Young Adult. Charlize, in her own words: "I liked Mavis [in Young Adult], but no, I don'...
