New Lawsuit Alleges Drugs, Sex and Homophobia on House Set

You wouldn’t peg the set of House to be some Caligula-like bacchanal, but a new lawsuit alleges that it was a feeding ground for sex, drugs, homophobic remarks and even knife-throwing. The former crew member bringing the lawsuit forth says he was called derogatory names — think gay slurs — and eventually fired because he wouldn’t participate in any of the “degenerate conduct.” Universal — the studio that produces House — had no comment.

Snooki and the Situation Pull Ahead in Jersey Shore Salary Game

Two Jersey Shore cast members are going rogue after their united strike for a pay raise. Snooki, a.k.a. Schnickers, a.k.a. America’s Schneetheart, a.k.a. a talking McNugget from an ’80s McDonald’s commercial , has struck a deal to be paid “substantially more money than before” for the next Jersey Shore half-season. Her co-star, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, is rumored to receive between $27,500 and $45,000 in his special exclusive deal with MTV.

Liz Phair on How TV Scoring Saved Her Love of Music

Liz Phair has spent 17 years in the recording industry as a saint and a “sellout,” a cavalier grandmaster of articulation whose monotone delivery and Stones-y dispassion on Exile in Guyville , her breakout 1993 album, inspired countless confessional female singer-songwriters. Now, after being declared a pop misfit with her self-titled album in 2003, Phair returns to her fringe roots with Funstyle , a record she released online herself July 3. In it, she discusses her new gig, one that’s already garnered her an ASCAP award: television composer.
