New feud! Remember Amanda Lorber, the loveable know-it-all from MTV's The Paper? Well, she saw Bill Maher's Religulous this weekend, and has taken to YouTube to express her thoughts on it, including some great zings like "You would have to be...in love with Bill Maher not to sort of despise him by the end of the film."
Amanda Lorber is 18 years old, and certainly the only MTV reality star ever to use (or know) the phrase "monotheistic religions." We need to keep an eye on this girl, because she's definitely going somewhere. (Nice catch by Rich Four Four, who also points out the truth that Amanda looks amazing.)
Is everyone going to a VP debate party tonight? And if someone had told you four years ago that everyone would be excited about watching the VP debate together in 2008, wouldn't you think the people of the future were the biggest nerds? But we're not, it's just crazy times! In advance of the debate, the McCain campaign has put out a special video about how they think Joe Biden doesn't have tact (overrated!) and the people of the internet have put out a special video about how Sarah Palin has rocks in her head (underrated!) Here they are. We report, you decide.
Just kidding, we're all on the same side, here. Anderson Cooper, who has lately found the confidence to voice his opinions about such uncontroversial subjects as Living Lohan, once again used his status as America's Dream BFF by speaking out against the cultural tyranny that is "The David Blaine." Joel McHale reports:
Does anyone like David Blaine? When he first came out (you know, on cassette) I thought he was the antichrist. Anyway, it's funny because Anderson Cooper hates David Blaine, and it's funny because Anderson Cooper sounds like an old man in that clip, allowing us to imagine what an adorable old man he will be. (The most adorable!)
Everybody Loves Raymond and 'Til Death's Brad Garrett appeared on Fox And Friends and their internet-only after-the-show show the other day, and he picked on Steve Doocy so much that Fox refused to post the video. Doocy calls it "The most offensive interview we have ever done." You can't keep videos from going online anymore, so now we can all see what got Steve so riled up:
I don't have a dog in this fight, but maybe Steve Doocy should look in the mirror and say out loud: "I let myself get offended when an Everybody Loves Raymond cast member picked on me."
"She's one of my best friends in the whole wide world and honestly, when you're sitting in a room for three hours doing satellite interviews... We were staring at a Post-It (note) with a smiley face, so I think I probably rolled my eyes a hundred times. I'm like, 'Oh gosh, this thing is still going on?'"
Until Ferrera speaks out, we remain unconvinced that she was rolling her eyes at a Post-It (note).
Comedian Mike Birbiglia was a roaster at a Nantucket Comedy Festival roast of the comedy team Jerry "Ben's dad who was also on Seinfeld and The King of Queens" Stiller and Anne "Ben's mom who was also on ALF" Meara. Hardball host Chris Matthews was also present, and in the grand tradition of famous people showing up at a roast and being surprised that they get roasted too (like Carrot Top at Flava Flav's roast last summer), Chris didn't take jokey criticism of his show too well, as Mike explains on 23/6:
I said, "I love Chris' show. I think I love it almost as much as he does--which is difficult. I haven't heard someone laugh at their own jokes that hard since George Bush after Katrina. You got to hand it to Chris. He always has something to say, and when he doesn't have something to say, he says it louder."
At this point, Chris Matthews threw a bottle at me.
I'd like to clarify that it was a plastic bottle and it was empty, but it was still a bottle and it allows me to say the phrase, "Chris Matthews threw a bottle at me."
I looked down at the man I watch on the news every day and said, "Chris, guess what? When you throw stuff, I win."
There you have it: breaking news: Chris Matthews is slightly unhinged (via The Apiary.) Speaking of roasts, I'm actually kind of excited about the Bob Saget roast on Sunday! For real!
The Soup found this clip of a Good Day LA interview with America Ferrera and Blake Lively, stars of The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants 2. America clearly can't believe her ears as a clueless Blake goes on and on about her show Gossip Girl, even though the two are sitting in front of a Sisterhood poster and are supposed to be promoting their movie, not their individual prime time TV shows. Before this clip, I would have said I was neutral on America Fererra and Blake Lively. Now I love America and think Blake is a pompous ass, so good job, Team America:
This is what's going through America's head:
Is she seriously answering that instead of turning the conversation back to the movie we're promoting?
Wait, seriously?
She's not stopping. Why is she not stopping?
SERIOUSLY, is anyone else noticing this? Am I taking crazy pills?
Oh, hi, I was on TV that entire time. Whoops, now you know how I really feel about Blake.
