Chelsea Handler!
Take that, Linz! Chelsea Handler has now moved into my It Girl residence. Her weekly adventures on “The Chelsea Handler Show” on E! brighten every Friday night for me. I wasn’t aware, though, that she is also part of “Girls Behaving Badly,” which isn’t one of my fave shows. But on her own, damned funny. If you haven’t seen the show, be sure to tune in. Who couldn’t love Li’l Nugget?!
Coming to an Internet site near you (maybe) – Dustin Diamond’s sex tape! Dustin, better known as Screech from TV’s “Saved By The Bell” reportedly has a sex tape making the rounds. It apparently includes a three-way and a Dirty Sanchez! Awesome! This is what good porn is all about, folks! C-list celebs letting it all hang out and then some.
(Note: This is an early review of next week’s episode. If you have HBO On Demand, watch it now. Otherwise, wait until Sunday to avoid spoilers.)
Except maybe Omar, who has drawn the most heat in the last three seasons and has still managed to walk out alive. He might not get that chance this time around, but at least we finally know how his character is going to factor into the new season. After staying low in his debut episode, Omar got back to business this week when he held up a high-stakes poker game that included none other than Marlo. Earlier in the episode, Marlo displayed his alpha male superiority during his little run-in with the corner store security guard (whose own machismo landed him an upright grave courtesy of Chris and Snoop), but his ego was seriously damaged when Omar stole all of the cash, nabbed Marlo’s new ring and embarrassed him in front of the room. For those who can’t keep up: Marlo = Avon Barksdale. Get the picture?
The rest of the episode was pretty average, with Prez still shaken up over the schoolyard slashing, Kima being hazed during her first day on homicide, and Proposition Joe making his rounds to West Baltimore, but there were a couple of other great developments that are worth mentioning. First off, it seems that both Cutty and Bunny Colvin have officially been christened into the education storyline – Cutty for a side job as a wrangler, rounding up students to serve their mandatory one-day-a-month attendance in school, and Colvin visiting the middle school before his new experimental program begins.
Second, while the relationship between Michael and his brother has been touched upon in the past, it wasn’t until now that the full extent of his situation has been established. This kid is single-handedly taking care of his younger brother (apparently an ongoing problem in the city of Baltimore) because his parents/guardians are too doped out to do anything. So while Michael’s friends go home and play video games (I’m looking at you Namond, perhaps the biggest loser of the four kids), Michael is handed the responsibility of making sure his brother gets to school, does his homework, eats a proper meal, etc. The reason that this development is so important is because the audience can now understand why Michael won’t allow himself to depend on any adult – including Cutty, who is perhaps the only adult that is honestly making an effort to reach out to him parentally. This subplot will no doubt play a much larger role as the season progresses, and it will be interesting to see if Cutty ever earns his trust, let alone given the chance to train him.
“Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful.”
…and said, “Sure, I’ll take the lead role in one of the most daunting book-to-film translations of all time. Piece of cake. Why not?”
The translation in question is none other than “Atlas Shrugged,” the sprawling, 1200-page epic penned by Objectivist author Ayn Rand back in 1957. Panned by some as an ode to selfishness, while lauded by others as a piercing indictment of communism and the welfare state, the book explores a future in which the nation’s greatest thinkers, artists and industrialists voluntarily withdraw their talents from public access — forcing the “little people” to fumble along without them.
According to a joint survey conducted by the Library of Congress and the Book of the Month Club, “Atlas Shrugged” is “the second most influential book for Americans today.”
Second only to what, you ask? The Bible. How’s that for high stakes?
And yet, if anyone can pull off the role of a woman dedicated to promoting “rational self-interest” above all else without coming off like a right-wing harpy…it’s probably the same woman who can steal the Sexiest Man Alive from America’s Sweetheart and, due largely to her significant humanitarian efforts, still come out of it smelling like a rose.
Good luck, Angelina. Don’t screw this up.
“I want YOU…to love me again.”
It’s gotta be tough being Chevy Chase these days. Still stinging from his disastrous Comedy Central roast four years ago (not to mention his failed talk show, numerous failed movies, and failures in his personal life), Chevy has struggled to maintain any semblance of relevance or likability in recent years…and has generally come up short.
So, how does one of Hollywood’s prime examples of “Oh, how the mighty have fallen” raise himself back up out of the gutter? Well, one strategy would be to take on the role of someone who has taken an even mightier tumble in the public eye…like Mel Gibson.
According to a press release from NBC, Chevy will appear in a future episode of “Law & Order” as “a television celebrity who is pulled over for drunk driving while wearing blood-soaked clothes, and whose religious prejudice comes out after his arrest.”
Hoo, boy: This train-wreck-in-the-making is either going to be jaw-droppingly horrifying…or mind-blowingly awesome. Either way, set your DVRs for Friday, November 3.
