Some “housewives” are more desperate than others

January 19, 2006 /

Perhaps brushing up his Ryan Seacrest credentials in case Wisteria Lane decides to off yet another of its residents just in time for spring sweeps, hunky faux plumber James Denton will be hosting the Miss America Pageant on CMT this weekend.

Let’s see, Eva Longoria was recently hawking Chrysler’s new concept car at the North American International Auto Show, Denton is slumming on a cable-TV beauty contest, Nicolette Sheridan hooks up with an old flame to console herself over her many supposed award snubs…and meanwhile, Felicity Huffman just won a Golden Globe for Best Actress to place next to her Emmy on the mantle at home, and is practically guaranteed an Oscar nomination.

Which of these things is not like the others?

Adventures in babysitting

January 19, 2006 /

Actress Elisabeth Shue is pregnant with her third child at the age of 42. Which of Shue’s films will the proud parents wait the longest before allowing their offspring to view it?

A. “The Saint,” because exposing impressionable children to Val Kilmer’s ego is a disaster waiting to happen;
B. “Leaving Las Vegas,” because it would be too hard to explain why it’s okay for Mommy to let strangers pay her for sex, but not okay for them to insist on using the service entrance; or
C. “Hollow Man,” because it’s “Hollow Man.”

Leif Garrett proves he can, in fact, get arrested in Hollywood

January 18, 2006 /

The 44-year-old former teen idol, who once sold many, many records to Buffybot, was apprehended at a subway station for failing to buy a ticket. Suspicious authorities then searched the man who “was made for dancing” and discovered that he also apparently was made for concealing heroin.

Garrett’s arrest will likely put a damper on his comeback efforts…as will the unflattering mug shot revealing that his once-lush, groovy tresses of golden hair are now long gone.

(I say, if the “can’t get arrested” joke is funny once, it’s twice as funny the second time…right, Shelley “the Machine” Levine?)

Captain Kirk’s new enterprise: Calcified urine

January 17, 2006 /

William Shatner has just sold a kidney stone for $25,000. That is not a misprint. Shatner passed the stone–which was apparently large enough to mount in a setting and wear as a ring, if the lucky bidder should so desire–last fall, and recently offered it up for auction, in order to donate the proceeds to charity.

Online casino GoldenPalace.com, known for their collection of oddities including a partially eaten cheese sandwich said to resemble the Virgin Mary, placed the high bid and will now add the hardened urine crystal to its treasure trove. Proceeds from the sale were donated to Habitat for Humanity.

A few questions here. Well, really, dozens of questions, but let’s stick with just these three:

1. Who hangs on to a kidney stone they passed last fall?

2. Is GoldenPalace going to take appropriate sanitary precautions to keep Shatner’s kidney tidbit away from the Virgin Mary sandwich, the Lincoln French Fry, and any other food-related items in their collection?

3. Will Habitat for Humanity now secretly line Shatner’s bedroom with asbestos, in hopes of coaxing out some wicked profitable tumors?

Only time will tell.

Box Office Roundup: Shit floats

January 17, 2006 /

Based on Monday’s estimates:

1) Hoodwinked: $16.6 million (first weekend)
“Little Red Riding Shrek” lost us at the snowboarding grandmother.
2) Glory Road: $16.5 million (first weekend)
The same way that some grandmother walked into “The Aristocrats” expecting to see a bunch of animated cats, someone surely walked into this movie expecting an altogether different kind of “glory” movie.
3) Last Holiday: $15.7 million (first weekend)
Hey, if you’re going to torpedo any and all momentum your career received after making a star turn in an Oscar-winning movie, you may as well do it while hanging out with LL Cool J. Beats the hell out of doing another movie with Jimmy Fallon.
4) The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe: $12.2 million ($263 million, sixth weekend)
Also known as “The Chronicles of Jehovah: The Movie That Wouldn’t Leave.”
5) Hostel: $11.6 million ($36.8 million, second weekend)
They’re getting a little heavy handed with this whole sex-is-death metaphor, aren’t they?
