2/16-2/18

On American Idol's first live show of the season, Ryan Seacrest seemed to question Simon's manhood when he accused him of not having "that organ that we all have." Well, America voted and the organ Seacrest has that Simon doesn't is... a vagina!

On the View Elisabeth Hasselbeck called out the Wii Fit for the hurtful way it classifies the weight of its players. She didn't think it was right that the game called a 3rd grader she knows "obese" but didn't seem to mind when it called co-host Sherri Shepherd "Starr Jones."

In an appearance on HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel Tanya Harding said a campaign-trail remark made by Barack Obama about knee-capping his opponents "helped her find work and paid appearances - "because people forgot who Tonya Harding is.'' Boy, the Bush years were good weren't they?

Day Off

Chris Brown has issued a statement a week after his arrest for an alleged assault on girlfriend Rihanna. In what was a very refreshing apology the former Wrigley's pitchman said he was "doubley" sorry, "doubley" saddened.

Congratulations to Salma Hayek who married French businessman Francois-Henri Pinault, in Paris over the weekend. It's surprising news considering just a week ago she let this kid get to second base.



It's a big week for Hayek who is the favorite at this Sunday's Oscars to take home numerous awards for her work in "Milk."

Paris Hilton was photographed on Valentine's day wearing a pair of novelty pink, heart-shaped, shutter glasses.

One can only imagine how the shades affected her sight but my guess is her vision remained "20-Stupid".

Octomom

Disappointing news today for guys, Nadya Suleman, the 33 year old "Octomom" says she vows to abstain until after her children are grown and left home. That sure is a long time to wait... but not so much for her, mostly for any guy who's seen this.


Now that she has 14 mouths to feed, money is certainly going to be tight in the Suleman house so the Octomom has established a website with a PayPal link for donations from the public. In exchange, Suleman has promised to spend any money she receives responsibly and said the next time she gets pregnant she's going to charge rent.

Forbes named Will Smith Hollywood's most bankable star this year in a survey of movie industry executives. Unfortunately due to the current financial crisis, the only star Hollywood can afford to bank on next year will be DJ Jazzy Jeff.

Singer Chris Brown's arrest on a domestic violence charge prompted Wrigley to suspend its Doublemint gum campaign in which Brown is the spokesman. Word is Wrigley will return to using the Doublemint Twins in their ads until a new campaign can be produced... or until Chris Brown punches them in the face.

Grammys

Robert Plant and Allison Krauss were the big winners at this year's Grammy's taking home 5 awards for their collaboration. Backstage Plant was greeted with admiration from his peers... and then Michael Phelps tried to smoke him.

The night was full of star-studded collaborations including Stevie Wonder backing up the Jonas Brothers. It's the first time in Stevie's career that he wished he were deaf instead of blind.

Man, if only Stevie could see himself on stage rocking out with the new generation of teen heartthrobs... he'd probably want to go back to not being able to see.

The most talked about moment of the night came when a nine-months pregnant MIA performed with an all star rap foursome that included: Kanye West, T.I., Jay Z and Lil' Wayne. It's the first time a pregnant woman and 4 black men shared the same stage without Maury Povich present.

Paul McCartney performed the Beatles classic, "When I Saw Her Standing There" with Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl on drums. Originally, Def Leppard's one-armed drummer Rick Allen was supposed to sit in behind the kit but ever since McCartney's divorce from Heather Mills, Paul has a strict no amputees policy.

End of the Week

The Guinness world record for nonstop broadcast-television viewing was broken this weekend by a Sri Lankan man who watched 72 straight hours of TV. During the record breaking three days, Suresh Joachim watched 3 seasons of the Fox hit 24 and no seasons of According to Jim.

In a related story, the Guinness world record for nonstop cable-television viewing was not broken by anyone who watches Bromance.

A recording of Christian Bale's expletive-laden outburst at a cinematographer on the set of his latest film leaked onto the Internet this week. It's the biggest celebrity blow up since Jessica Simpson.

The rant has become so popular that Bale-inspired mash ups and remixes are popping up all over the Internet. Even Congress was so inspired by Bale's words that they've finally agreed on a stimulus package for the economy. Instead of billions of taxpayer dollars going to the failing banks, now all they'll receive from Congress is one, long, much-deserved, "Christian Bale Out."

After a photo surfaced of Michael Phelps smoking marijuana, Kellogs decided not to renew their endorsement deal with the Olympian. Really? The company that makes, Cheez-Its, Pop Tarts and Frosted Flakes is firing Phelps for smoking pot? That's like if Quaker Oates fired Wilford Brimley for getting caught sniffing glue.

Monday-Tuesday

President Barack Obama on Wednesday signed a bill extending health coverage to 4 million uninsured children... all of whom belong to Nadya Suleman who just gave birth to octuplets last week.

A Star Trek fan used a Klingon sword to demand money from two convenience stores in Colorado. Police arrested the suspect after a lengthy standoff that didn't end until officers threatened to set their phasers on "call parents."
