Sarah Palin’s Alaska: Bludgeoning God’s Creatures for the Halibut

Yes sirree, Sarah and Bristol Plain killed halibut with a billy club on Sarah Palin’s Alaska last night. Bristol almost retreated several times, but her muscle memory just reloaded wildly, slapping those halibut like a Nordic Ruth Buzzi. Of course, there’s more fishiness and feistiness where that came from. Come along for the rootin’ tootin’ review.

10 Slogans for Blockbuster’s New Advertising Campaign

Things have been looking bleak for Blockbuster Video lately, but apparently chain isn’t finished yet. According to the LA Times , the company is not only reorganizing to get out of bankruptcy, but also preparing to launch their first nation-wide advertising campaign since 2007. But what slogan can they possibly use to separate themselves from competitors like Netflix and Redbox while maintaining that distinct Blockbuster brand? Movieline has a few ideas.

Attention 14-year-old boys of all ages: Paz de la Huerta returned to Boardwalk Empire last night after a brief absence, and if you were hoping that she’d end up naked and riding Michael Shannon’s Nelson Van Alden (while calling him “daddy”), you’re in luck!

Mia Michaels Out As Judge On So You Think You Can Dance. Thank God.

It’s not just American Idol that’s been shaking up the judges’ panel. On Nigel Lythgoe’s other Fox reality show, So You Think You Can Dance , they’ve been hitting puree on the panel for a few seasons now. First they installed director/Miley Cyrus sex device Adam Shankman in the third judges’ chair that had previously been free-floating. Then they booted shrieking Mary Murphy for choreographer Michaels. But now, according to E!, Michaels is dunzo and Murphy is returning, and in my opinion, that’s a good thing.

Glee Leak! Listen to Jane Lynch & Carol Burnett Duet on Ohio

Perhaps all that Glee needed to do was to get a couple pros in the show to get it back on its feet. After Gwyneth Paltrow classed up the joint last week, Carol Burnett shows up on Tuesday as Coach Sue’s mother. And now you can hear them duet on Ohio from the musical Wonderful Town . And if you ever thought Rosalind Russell should have slipped in a few references to hunting Nazis in the the original, well then, you are in luck my friend. And speaking as a former Ohioan, it certainly gets my Buckeye seal of approval. Listen after the jump!

Friday Box Office: Accio Moolah! Harry Potter Has $65 Million Night

Well, holy cow. After pulling in $24 million at midnight , the penultimate Potter flick increased its take to a truly magical $65 million in its first day in release. I guarantee you that Warner Bros. execs are alternately high-fiving themselves over having another $65 million night next summer with Part 2, and then secretly calculating how much more they would have made if this one was in 3D. Oh, and some Russell Crowe prison movie self-destructed at number 5. Your Friday box office is here.

Grey’s Anatomy Pain Scale: From Cardiology to (Irish) Car Bombs

Shonda Rhimes hid a few important lessons in last night’s Grey’s Anatomy : For example, even if you Super Glue yourself to your girlfriend, love (and a frustrated surgeon wielding acetone) will still tear you apart. Also, just because you are a star surgeon does not mean that you know how to properly mix an Irish car bomb. Finally, no matter how much of a lesbian you think you are, you will never be able to resist sex from a man nicknamed McSteamy. So pop a few pain killers — nothing to burst that stomach ulcer though — and continue onto the pain readings from last night’s episode, “Slow Night, So Long.”
