A close shave

Couldn’t they have gotten him to shave his chest, too?

In London to film an ad for a British internet company, “America’s Got Talent” judge and former “Baywatch” star David Hasselhoff reportedly hit his head on a chandelier while shaving in the bathroom of a hotel gym, showering himself with glass and severing a tendon in his right arm. The injury required an overnight hospital stay, but the actor and international singing sensation is recovering nicely.

We would make a joke here, but we’re having a tough time deciding which is funniest:
a) a gym with a chandelier in its bathroom;
b) a person severing a tendon while shaving; or
c) David Hasselhoff appearing on a show called “America’s Got Talent.”

You make the call. Or, if you prefer, just insert your own “they love him in Germany, though” joke here.

Meet the newest member of the Academy

dakota

Just in case you didn’t already feel like enough of an underachiever, Hollywood box office queen Dakota Fanning has just been invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences…at the ripe old age of twelve.

Fanning received the honor along with 119 other actors, directors, and other industry professionals including Dolly Parton, Joaquin Phoenix, Jake Gyllenhaal, Heath Ledger, and Felicity Huffman.

Following her induction into the Academy, Fanning is expected to use her extra Hollywood mojo to bring about a substantial increase in movies that involve unicorns, rainbows, and the color pink.

Ken Lay: The Smartest Guy In The Morgue

Conspiracy theorists unite and get a load of this: Kenneth Lay, founder of Enron, defrauder of the company’s investors and employees, and “star” of the documentary “Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room,” died suddenly of a heart attack this morning, just a few months before getting his just desserts and being sentenced to a prison term that almost surely would’ve lasted the rest of his life…if, of course, it hadn’t ended a few hours ago.

Is it a coincidence? Did someone help him on his way…? Or did he help himself…?!?

Count on someone writing a book, doing a documentary, or, at the very least, writing a rambling, non-spellchecked pamphlet on the matter in the very near future.

Place your bets on its cancellation now

Ben Stiller has teamed up with CBS to create a show for his wife, Christine Taylor. And guess what? Ben will be playing her husband on the show! I have a feeling this thing will run a shorter life than The Ben Stiller Show, and have less than 1/3 of the laughs. Although, since it is on CBS and not FOX, I may be proven wrong about that. After all, JAG lasted way longer than the one week it should have.

Python fans in the US, prepare to weep

Sony has, for no discernable reason, cancelled the August 1st reissue of “A Fish Called Wanda” in a special edition 2-disc set…and by “cancelled,” I mean it’s totally off the schedule now, with no revised date provided.

I know this will particularly annoy one Mike Wazowski, as he was slated to review it…but it also means another thing to remove from my birthday list.

How long must America be forced to deal with the crappy, virtually-featureless single disc version of the film…?
