Award show may be Hilton’s last hurrah


“Like, what’s a license?”

Although Paris Hilton will be heading to the pokey soon, she’ll at least get to make one last big splash at the upcoming MTV Movie Awards. It’s rumored that the actress garbage disposal heiress will be attending the event before everyone forgets about her at long last. If only that would actually happen. The forgetting part, that is. I have a feeling we’ll be getting daily updates from “The Insider” and other media outlets. Of course, Hilton’s already had her sentence shortened for “good behavior,” proving once again that oft times there is no justice. Ah well, perhaps she’ll come out of it having created some designer prison garb. Then again, someone may have already designed a shank with her name on it. Ouch.

Judge throws out Burnett’s “Family Guy”

Hey, remember when Carol Burnett used to be funny? Well, apparently she couldn’t take it when “Family Guy” parodied her cleaning woman character that was always seen at the end of Burnett’s TV show and placed her in a sex shop in a 2006 episode. She sued. However, a judge just dismissed the case, and Peter Griffin is once again a guilty free man. Not guilt-free, mind you. So all is right in the world once again and Carol can try to scrape up a couple mil somewhere else for another face lift.

MTV Movie Awards not so rewarding for Beyonce


Bring it on.

Seems like everything is not all wine and roses for miss Beyonce. You see, Rhianna is slated to perform at this year’s MTV Movie Awards and Miz Knowles is threatening to not show up, even though she is a nominee. This is all due to a man, natch. And of course that man is none other than Jay-Z. Looks like Beyonce has officially landed in Divaland. Unfortunately for both her and Rhianna, Jay-Z’s got 99 problems and a bitch ain’t one. For some reason these two didn’t get the message as I assume they were both too busy trying to use the rapper in hopes of adding a little toughness to their images. Girls, you’re fine to look at, but I wouldn’t wanna live there.

Ty pleads no contest to DUI

Ty Pennington. Who would have ever thought this goofball woule eke out such a large career after his stint on “Trading Spaces?” But Ty is just like every other celebrity, kids. Yep, he’s pleaded no contest to a DUI. He was charged with driving drunk, and being over the legal limit, which, would in turn mean you were basically drunk. Go figure. Of course, he got no time in the clink, but the standard probation sentence, and to attend a Mothers Against Drunk Driving class. Yeah, that oughta be interesting. I can see a party starting up with those ladies as soon as Ty arrives. Oops.

A Couple of Questions with…Bill Bellamy and Peter Engel

“Last Comic Standing” is returning for its fifth season…but it’s doing so without host Anthony Clark. (Some, like our own Mike Farley, would say that’s a blessing.) Now fronting the mike for the series is Bill Bellamy, who, if you’re really old, you might remember from his days as an MTV VJ. We spoke with Bellamy, along with the show’s producer, Peter Engel, during a recent teleconference.

Bullz-Eye: Bill, you’ve been working on “Who’s Got Jokes” recently, for TV One.

Bill Bellamy: Yes.

BE: Will you be bringing the Pope of Comedy over to “Last Comic Standing” with you?

BB: Uh, no. (Laughs) No, no, we won’t! He’ll definitely have his throne on “Who’s Got Jokes,” but we have on “Last Comic Standing,” man, we have amazing, amazing fun with our talent scouts. I mean, we got Kathleen Madigan, Alonzo Bodden, we got ANT, and these guys…I mean, they’re like three Popes in one, in a way, ‘cause they’re bringing so much laughter and, also, y’know, critiquing and just different elements to the show that we didn’t necessarily have before.

BE: Do you know if it was your work on “Who’s Got Jokes” that caught the eye of the producers, or were they just still remembering you fondly from your “Def Comedy Jam” days?

BB: Uh, yeah, I’m hoping it’s all of it… (Laughs)

Peter Engel: (Helpfully) Well, I’ll answer!
