The Jerseyfication of Reality TV

Posted on June 18, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

With “Jerseylicious,” “Jersey Couture,” “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” and “Jersey Shore” all on TV, the “armpit of America” is now a fertile womb of reality television talent. infoMania is a half-hour satirical news show that airs on Current TV. The show puts a comedic spin on the 24-hour chaos and information overload brought about by the constant bombardment of the media. Hosted by Conor Knighton and co-starring Brett Erlich, Erin Gibson, Ben Hoffman, Bryan Safi and Sergio Cilli, the show airs on Thursdays at 10 pm Eastern and Pacific Times and can be found online at http://current.com/infomania/ or on Current TV.

Business as usual? BP Deepwater Horizon partner Anadarko to pay out $45 million dividend

Posted on June 18, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Who cares about a l'il ole disaster, pardner?? Not James Hackett, CEO of Anadarko Petroleum of Texas, BP's second major partner in the ill-fated Macondo oil well that is currently spewing thousands of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico with no end in sight. Undaunted by BP's decision to forego its scheduled $7.8 billion payout to that company's shareholders, Anadarko intends to “share the wealth” despite the tragic losses and devastation being incurred by Gulf coast residents and wildlife. Oh yes, Mr. Hackett also sits on the board of Halliburton, the company that poured the cement for the doomed rig hours before the April 20th explosion. http://looncanada.wordpress.com/2010/06/17/loon-extra-co-owner-of-deepwater-hori… added by: foolforacigarette
