Chris Rock's Mom Drops Knowledge

Whit Honea — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 16:54:00 GMT

Rose Rock is the mother of celebrity Chris Rock. She's had an interesting life and has learned some valuable lessons on child-rearing. She recently put out a new book that shares some of those lessons with us.

Charlotte Church: Post/Pre Baby

Whit Honea — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 21:29:00 GMT

As we told you before, singer and TV personality (and suspected Re/Max agent) Charlotte Church is pregnant again. She and Gavin Henson have 9-month-old Ruby at home.

I guess this is one good way to deal with the inevitable post-baby body crap that celebrities are held to, just skip the post and move right into pre again. Pretty smart. Boop-boop-a-doop.

The Writer's Strike: Prelude to a Talk

Whit Honea — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 18:53:00 GMT

The Studios are reaching out. I guess they read my piece. Hopefully some talks will start and the stoppage will, um, stop.

Man, I hope so. I'm sick of reality- TV and otherwise.

Tina Fey Would Vote Abdul Off

Whit Honea — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 22:42:00 GMT

Tina Fey thinks that Paula Abdul is "disastrous ... in the way she generally appears to be." She tells Playboy (via Us) that Abdul is "awful."

When Paula Abdul hosted SNL she left quite the impression on Fey, "I was pregnant at the time and probably a little moody, but I remember thinking, 'She's a disaster! I gotta prop this lady up and get her on TV.'"

I guess that's why they let her sit down on American Idol.

Thanks for the take, Tina. Let's get Abdul on 30 Rock!

Dumb and Dumber: When Heidi Met Britney

Whit Honea — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 23:03:00 GMT

UsWeekly quotes Project Runway host Heidi Klum telling Ellen DeGeneres about Britney Spears and a conversation they had about diapers. Apparently Britney taught Heidi a thing or two, which does not bode well for the supermodel's parenting skills (see three nannies).

Says Klum, "We were talking about babies and diapers and she explained to me a lot of things about diapers I that didn’t know. You know these sticky things on the side? I never knew that they were there. To close them in the front, I was always putting string around. I had no idea.

"It’s very clever. I learned a lot of things."

WTF? She put a string around them, like turkey legs? She was trussing her children because she didn't know that the stick tabs on the sides were functional pieces and not some sort of eye-candy accessory? Fashion has ruined that woman.

Rosie O'Donnell Considers Doing a Show "In Blogville"; If She Comes Near FameCrawler I'm Outta Here

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 00:15:00 GMT

Lock the doors and password-protect your servers: Rosie O'Donnell is coming to a URL near you. MSNBC cut off negotiations with O'Donnell after she prematurely started yapping about it, and now the TV bully has decided to take it out on billions of innocent internet users. "I'm going to figure out a way to do a show here, in my blogville, because I really think it's the next way anyway," And by "next way" she means the next way to get scores of people to tune her out by taking a sledgehammer to their computers.

For some reason I've got a sinking feeling, like knowing that the family who's moving in next door has got six-foot speakers in their living room, a bullhorn mounted on their car and a drum set in their garage.

Tina Fey and the Writer's Strike

Whit Honea — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 18:27:00 GMT

Tina Fey is mad as hell, and she's not going to take it anymore!

I'm torn on this Hollywood strike. On one hand, I'm a writer. I've created some shows for television. I get it.

On the other hand, they're just so whiny. I've never been a fan of unions, especially for the white-collar crowd.

Can't we all just get along?

Tina Fey is one of the only working writers in TV that is actually any good. "30 Rock" is funny as hell. The rest of the writers should just keep waking in circles until they think of some better script ideas.

I wonder how long she walked the line after the photographers left.

I just hope that the powers that be realize they're wrong and give the writers their share before we're left with nothing but informercials and porn. Those don't use writers, right?
