The Big Brother Repulsion Index: Hot Dog, It Has Begun

Posted on July 9, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Last night, CBS put an Orthodox Jewish podiatrist into a hot dog costume, broadcast sexually suggestive physical challenges, and introduced us to a red-headed bimbo who thought yarmulkes were called “Yom Kippurs.” Yes, Big Brother season has begun. The Julie Chen-hosted reality show is impressive because its premise — locking thirteen untalented individuals in a house and streaming their every move for audience’s voyeuristic pleasure — demands a repulsive sub-category of fame-seeking humans: the kind of person that masturbates in a cardboard box , knowing that his every motion will be seen by millions of people in their family room. This season, Movieline is joining in the Big Brother fun by ranking the most vile houseguests after each degrading episode. Baruch haba!

Which Emmy Nominees May Be One Step Closer to an EGOT?

Posted on July 8, 2010 by | Leave a comment

One thing left unexplored on this Emmy Nomination Day is the EGOT, the extremely rare phenomenon that occurs when an entertainer wins an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony. (Ironically, though the EGOT got its biggest spotlight ever thanks to Tracy Morgan’s recent obsession with it on 30 Rock , he wasn’t nominated for his role this season.) Here are the 2010 Emmy nominees who could get one step closer to attaining the Showbiz Award Grand Slam that has only been claimed by a dozen performers ever.

Sons of Anarchy and Conan O’Brien: Tracking the Day’s Bitterest Emmy Reactions

Posted on July 8, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Considering that Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter called one-time NYC Hells Angels president Chuck Zito a “delusional bitch,” it goes to reason that he wouldn’t have the kindest words for the Emmy voters after they completely snubbed his series this morning. And sure enough, he didn’t: “They are lazy sheep,” Sutter wrote in a scathing blog post. Predictably, he didn’t stop there — but Mariska Hargitay, you may want to cover your ears.

Posted on July 8, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Welcome to what has become an annual jamboree at Movieline: a review of actors who pretended to sleep in, turn off their phone, or duck into the greenhouse during the Emmy nominations. We base this exercise on two important tenets: 1) Actors love receiving adulation, and 2) Actors love receiving adulation in front of everyone . There’s no excuse to miss Sofia Vergara’s giggly announcement, Jim Parsons, you vainglorious man! Let’s sniff out the biggest liars from THR ‘s roll of nominee reactions.

ESPN Pledges No Conflict Over LeBron James Special

Posted on July 8, 2010 by | Leave a comment

ESPN executives have assured viewers that tonight’s LeBron James prime-time free-agency special , The Decision , does not violate the network’s policy of not paying for interviews. This, despite James’s marketing company selling the ads (for charity, it announced). Be advised: James is expected to deliver his big announcement within the first 10-15 minutes of the hour-long show, which begins at 9 ET. That’s great news for Cavaliers fans; the earlier they can get to drinking in the post-LeBron era, the better. [ THR ]

Emmy Nominations: Glee Topples 30 Rock, Conan O’Brien and Friday Night Lights Shock

Posted on July 8, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Just moments ago, Sofia Vergara and Joel McHale mounted the stage of the Television Academy in Los Angeles to announce the 62nd Primetime Emmy nominations. It was an exciting morning for Vergara — who shrieked every time Modern Family (and she) garnered a nod — and not so much for McHale — who tried to hide his disappointment every time Community (and he) were ignored in a category (“It’s OK, I just phoned it in this year,” he joked). And there was an audible cheer when the selections for this year’s Variety Show category were announced. Click through to see if Jay Leno and Conan O’B rien will duke it out for the Tonight Show crown again in August — and to acquaint yourself with the nominees for the 2010 Emmy Awards.

James Franco’s Mom Says the Darndest Things on General Hospital

Posted on July 7, 2010 by | Leave a comment

It finally happened: James Franco found a way to weave his real-life mother, author Betsy Franco , into the weird meta-arc that he has been crafting on General Hospital over the past few months. The sub-arc began yesterday when two of Port Charles’ detectives who were hot on Franco’s trail ventured out to Woodstock, New York to question Karen Anderson, whom they believed birthed the murder artist who has been terrorizing their town. But what they discovered inside Karen’s cozy, statue-cluttered home turned out to be much, much worse.

Hayden Christensen Wants Credit For Royal Pains

Posted on July 7, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Just add “jilted creator/executive producer” to Hayden Christensen’s resume. The Star Wars actor and his brother filed a lawsuit yesterday against the USA network , alleging that the second-season series Royal Pains is a ripoff of their own idea. The Christensen brothers claim that in 2005, they pitched a concierge doctor show called Housecall to the network, and a USA executive even admitted that he had never heard of the profession before their meeting. This whole situation smells (unfortunately, not like the Christsensen-endorsed Lacoste . [ NYP ]

Is This the Year for a Giant Shift in Emmy’s Reality Categories?

Posted on July 7, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Over the years, the Emmys have championed several underdogs who truly deserved the hardware — The Wonder Years , Arrested Development , Andre Braugher, Bryan Cranston, Kristin Chenoweth, and my eternal girl Jackee Harry all come to mind — but when it comes to reality television, the committee is stubborn in its devotion to the same staid programming. Even casual statisticians know that the Reality Competition Emmy has gone to The Amazing Race since the award’s inception in 2002, but there’s a point when a winning streak becomes a regime, and Phil Keoghan’s juggernaut surely qualifies by now. Still, a big change may come tomorrow morning with the 2010 Emmy nominees: a shake-up for reality TV and the people who appreciate it.
