AP Reporters Try to Breathe Life Into Moribund UN Cancun Climate Conference

Posted on December 5, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on AP Reporters Try to Breathe Life Into Moribund UN Cancun Climate Conference

I do hope that Associated Press reporters Arthur Max and Charles J. Hanley are finding some recreational time while they are reporting from Cancun about what's happening at the ” United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.” The pair's bosses ought to be asking them how much real attention they are paying to the festivities since they began. For example, as far as I can tell from two reports by Mr. Max ( here and here ), he seems to have missed the opening prayer to the pagan goddess Ixchel; Ken Shepherd at NewsBusters took note of it from thousands of miles away.

Introducing the SNL Scorecard: The Good, Bad and Ugly of Saturday Night

Posted on September 26, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Introducing the SNL Scorecard: The Good, Bad and Ugly of Saturday Night

Saturday Night Live ‘s 36th season commenced last night with alumna Amy Poehler as host — Poehler’s first time in that role, making her only the fourth former female cast member to handle hosting duties. A lot of changes were made in the offseason: Abby Elliott and Bobby Moynihan joined the main cast; Will Forte moved on and Jenny Slate wasn’t invited back; Vanessa Bayer, Paul Brittain, Taran Killam and Jay Pharoah were all added as feature players. How did the new blood fare in their first episode? Not surprisingly, they weren’t seen much (though they did get a chance to briefly wave to the camera during the opening monologue… so that’s nice). Even more importantly, was SNL any good ? Movieline busted out its fresh new SNL Scorecard (along with the patented Not-Ready-for-Prime-Time-Player Relevancy Poll) to make sense of it all.

The first time I met Singapore actress Pamelyn Chee was on the opening night of comedy show “Vlee Conference” at the club Zirca a couple of weeks ago.

Jimmy Fallon Blames NBC For Being Stingy, Squandering His Glee-tastic Emmy Opening

Posted on September 1, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Instead of enjoying the fruits of his successful Emmy-hosting labor, Jimmy Fallon is stewing over NBC’ s refusal to secure the online repurposing rights to Bruce Springsteen’s “Born to Run.” Because of this legal oversight, NBC is unable to post Jimmy’s Glee -ful Emmy opening — the highlight of the telecast — online.

Wigan Athletic#39;s Antolin Alcaraz (R) challenges Chelsea#39;s Didier Drogba during their English Premier League soccer match in Wigan, northern England August 21, 2010. Free-scoring Chelsea hit six goals for the second Premier League game in succession to heap more misery on Wigan at the DW Stadium.
