A new season of Celebrity Rehab premiered on Sunday night featuring the likes of Michael Lohan and Bai Ling. Train wreck, right? Probably, but with the return of Steven Adler, one of the more relatable and heartbreaking cast members to appear on the show, it shows some promise too. Those extremes of the fame whores you love to hate vs the fallen celebrity you feel sorry for are what keep me coming back for more.
Hello gang. The Grand Inquisitor is having problems with her ISP and has unreliable internet access this weekend. Because of this she is just going to keep this short before she is offline again. Sorry, full length fun will return next weekend. Anyway, this seemed like a good day to salute the original trail blazer in cartoon marriage equality. Bugs was fifty years ahead of Mario Cuomo.
Happy almost weekend Crasstalk. Today seems like the perfect day to play another round of Guilty Pleasures. Don’t worry, your silly username protects your real identity, so no one has to know how bad your taste really is. This week let’s talk about bad TV. Continue reading
Well, we knew it was coming. The dreaded double elimination. It just seems like yesterday the kids made it to the show from Vegas week. And now for four of them it will all be over; off to relative obscurity for you. It’s kind of like what happens, uh, well, when you win the show. So maybe it won’t be so bad! Obscurity can be awesome, right? Well, no. But at least drinking Gatorade can return to being a private experience again.
So who will we lose tonight?
We’d like to think that there’s no “Wayward Home for Abandoned Dancers” but if there ever had to be one, it quite possibly may be the Hollywood home of a movie icon. There at the WHFAD you’d receive three square meals, tutoring in a private ballroom, and stretch limo chauffeur service with your own personal driver, among other activities. Be sure to read the fine print, kids. Don’t you want to sponsor an Abandoned Dancer today? Call 1-800-REAL-LIFE-HANSEL-GRETEL
Wadi and five others are on the phone lines now. Please call.
Reality TV is nothing without the epic battles that show the absolute worst of humanity. After all, as we all know, whether they’re Real Housewives or Top Chef wannabes, they’re not there to make friends. Continue reading
Monday night was the much anticipated return of comically egotistical, liberal blowhard Keith Olbermann. After much ballyhoo earlier this year that left MSNBC’s shouting mouthpiece out of a job amid copious rumors about campaign donations and other Gestapo tactics from the prolific sportscaster — now that he’s returned to his original time slot, but with a new home sponsored by none other than internet and manbearpig founder, Al Gore — was his return everything you hoped for?

Watching The Glee Project’s casting special and first two episodes back to back is an exercise in unbounded cheerfulness and smiley sing-y good times. And drama. Oh, the drama! Spoilers inside, click at your own peril. Continue reading
So how do you end the first season of a show that is shaping up to be the next biggest thing in HBO history? Well, you have to do it justice. You also have to remind the audience that there is more than a little bit of magic and mayhem at play if you’re talking about the Game of Thrones. And with a show this jam packed with honor, family, death, and life you’d better just remember how the show started and to expect the unexpected.
