Jonathan Rhys-Meyers Attempts Suicide, Sources Claim

Jonathan Rhys-Meyers is a very talented actor with a very troubled personal life. Great Britain’s The Sun reports that paramedics arrived at the star’s house in London Tuesday night because he swallowed pills in what is believed to be a suicide attempt. “This is very sad. It was the opinion of those present that he tried to take his life,” an insider tells the newspaper . Earlier this month, The Tudors star checked into a five-star rehabilitation clinic in South Africa. It was his fifth stint in such a facility. Let’s all hope there’s still time for Rhys-Meyers to find his way. [Photo: WENN.com] UPDATE : A Scotland Yard spokesman says: “We can confirm we were called by the London Ambulance Service to an address in NW8 to report to a man refusing treatment. Police attended, and the man was taken by ambulance to a central London hospital. That was the end of our involvement.” A friend, meanwhile, says the actor “relapsed,” but did not try to kill himself.

Lindsay Lohan Parties First Night of Freedom Away

Lindsay Lohan had her ankle monitor removed and was released from house arrest around 10:20 a.m. Pacific Time yesterday. Last night, she partied with friends at the Lexington Social House in Los Angeles. We’re as shocked as you are: she didn’t go there for a late breakfast?!? Lohan reportedly spent the evening with actors Emile Hirsch and Lyndsy Fonseca, barely making it out of the club without falling as she tried (and failed) to hide from a swarm of paparazzi. It’s nice to see this star getting back to what she does best, isn’t it? [Photos: WENN.com] UPDATE: Lohan has replied to this coverage and written on her WhoSay page: “Of course me going to my best friends going away dinner is a headline- especially on my first day out of my house in 35 days. That does not give anyone the right to have a field day and manifest stories. IT WAS A GOING AWAY DINNER, THAT WAS IT “Nothing exciting happened aside from the very yummy hummus and pita. If anyone caused me to nearly fall it was the pyschotic [sic] paparazzi…. off to the gym now- have a lovely day xo.”

Networks Offer Scant Coverage of Liberal DREAM Act, Frothed Over Arizona Immigration Bill

For much of the spring and summer, the big broadcast networks threw staff and airtime at covering Arizona's attempt to control its borders against rampant illegal immigration. Liberals detested Arizona's “harsh” new law, so the media elite reflexively treated it as a scandal in their coverage.

Pulitzer Board Moves Further Left, Picks Up WaPo’s Eugene Robinson

Columbia University announced Thursday that Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson will join the Pulitzer Board, which gives out the renowned journalism awards each year. Robinson, who won a Pulitzer for his coverage of the 2008 presidential race, will strengthen the leftist complexion of the board, which already has a meager presence of conservative minds. In fact, Wall Street Journal editorial page editor Paul Gigot seems to be the only “openly” conservative member of the board. read more

Partisan Inconsistency: In Close Congressional Races, AP Gives Two Paragraphs to GOP Win in IL-08, 14 to Dem in CA-11

I've noted an interesting disparity in how the Associated Press, the so-called Essential Global News Network, has covered Democratic and Republican congressional victories in situations where the counting has gone on well past Election Day. Let's contrast the amount of ink and bandwidth devoted to Republican Joe Walsh's victory over incumbent Democrat Melissa Bean in Illinois compared to the coverage accorded California Democrat Jerry McNerney in his victory over the GOP's David Harmer. First, in Walsh vs. Bean, the following is the only item that comes up in a search on Ms. Bean's name at the AP's main site: read more

Glenn Beck: I Wore A Bulletproof Vest To Rally At My Wife’s Request

Glenn Beck spent his entire show tonight discussing various details from his Restoring Honor rally this weekend. Beck took (perhaps not surprisingly) great issue with some of the coverage of the rally, namely that the media was low-balling the numbers of people who attended. He also pointed out the peaceful nature of the crowd, and the fact there were no arrests. Interestingly, Beck confirmed what a number of people attending the event had speculated: he was indeed wearing a bulletproof vest. Said Beck: “I was wearing it because my wife asked me to wear it.” Beck also noted that while he offered Alveda King one she declined. added by: TimALoftis

Live Coverage of the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards [Emmys 2010]

The Primetime Emmys are often uncomfortable and horrible , so the only fun way to watch them is with a bunch of people making fun of them. That’s just what we’re doing and—unlike the real ceremony—you’re invited! More
