10 Favorite Stories of 2010: Louis’s Picks

I spent 2010 hailing 30 Rock , defending American Idol , mixing it up with Erin Andrews and Isaac Mizrahi, and figuring out all the things Snooki looks like. (My favorite: A hat rack where Cher hangs all her old parts.) Ahead, I revisit my ten favorite stories of the year, and yes, my video dalliance with Diablo Cody and Megan Fox makes the cut.

Tracy Morgan Gets a New Kidney For Christmas

You can scratch “a kidney for Tracy Morgan” off of your holiday gift list because the 30 Rock star already underwent the organ transplant two weeks ago. To recover, Morgan will take a two or three episode hiatus from 30 Rock . EW reports that Liz Lemon will explain Tracy Jordan’s March absence “by saying he has some sort of a meltdown because of a good thing that’s happened to him.” Sounds like someone might get a little Oscar love for Hard to Watch: Based on the Book Stone Cold Bummer by Manipulate . Get well soon, Tracy! [ EW ]

Why Did I Watch a Full Season of Survivor When All It Did Was Make Me Mad?

Survivor: Nicaragua concluded last night with an anticlimax: A competent, immunity-prone contestant won the competition and beat out two more scheming players. I’d praise the winner’s athleticism, but the mere fact that his cunning competitors lost is a bit depressing. Why do we watch this show when it just becomes a squatting contest among “less threatening” contenders? (Spoilers ahead.)

Do You Have Any Questions for Marilu Henner’s Extraordinary Autobiographical Memory?

Last night on 60 Minutes , Leslie Stahl interviewed the only six people known to have hyperthymesia, or “superior autobiographical memory.” These folks can recall nearly every day of their lives and remember tons of minutia from any calendar date (like the weather, expressions on people’s faces, and their own feelings), all with impossible speed. Mysteriously, one of these half-dozen savants is former Taxi / Evening Shade actress Marilu Henner. The 58-year-old has an unbelievable historical memory, and she can name the exact dates on which she bought every pair of shoes in her giant closet. On that note, what a perfect occasion to ask the affable-seeming Henner some super-specific movie-and-TV-related questions (especially since she has a book coming out about the subject in spring). Contribute your own!

Sarah Palin’s Alaska Recap: The River Mild

Seven weeks in, it appears Sarah Palin is serious about this TV show thing. Girl, enough. Last night, the Beartrap Contessa forded a mighty river, introduced us to an emaciated man named Bones, and mocked Michelle Obama. Can we take a moment to chortle hard at the name “The Learning Channel”? OK, great. Onto the horror show.
