Man vs. Wild vs. Diarrhea

When Bear Grylls gave himself an enema on Man Vs. Wild , did you cry out for more? Listen, as the rugged outdoorsman teases an upcoming episode: “I was half way up a rock face and had diarrhea,” he tells Best Week Ever. “I’m trying to sort of get off of this rock, and I realized it was all about to happen. I had to just say to the camera man, ‘Listen, turn the camera off, I’ve got to go. Now.’…And there’s just diarrhea in free air. I look up and see this red light blinking and he’s like, ‘You’ve got to be joking, this is great!’ You think that would never get on TV, but it does.” [ Best Week Ever ]

Ryan Murphy Demands an Apology From Newsweek, Urges Readers to Boycott

Add Glee creator Ryan Murphy to the laundry list of people offended by Ramin Setoodeh’s Newsweek editorial, in which the author proclaimed that gay actors cannot convincingly portray straight characters. Murphy released a scathing open letter to Newsweek last night, in which he scolded the publication for not issuing an apology to readers, suggested a full-on Newsweek boycott and invited Setoodeh to the set of Glee for a sing-along of Madonna’s “Open Your Heart.” Click through for the full letter.

Charlie Sheen’s Poker Face

When it comes to playing sitcom hardball , Charlie Sheen is a pro. Just today, “a source close” to the Two and a Half Men star (translation: his manager) told TMZ , “Charlie is really into his sobriety now. He likes the show but it brings back bad memories. If [the contract renegotiation] doesn’t happen it literally wouldn’t faze him.” Meanwhile, Jon Cryer’s poker face has already crumbled. Sources close to Duckie reveal that he will do almost anything for that $20 million he could net from two more seasons. [ TMZ ]

ABC Issues Statement on Modern Family’s Lack of Gay PDAs

After installing Betty White as the host of Saturday Night Live (where she could finally live out her lifelong dream of saying things that are shocking because they are coming from an old lady), the users of Facebook are drunk with power! Their latest mission: getting gay couple Cameron and Mitchell to kiss on Modern Family . As the Facebook petitioning reaches a fevered pitch (and if you listen closely, it sounds like a bunch of insistent guests clinking their glasses at a gay wedding and looking up expectantly at the dais), producers issued a statement today in hopes of calming down the ravenously romantic masses:

American Idol Duets Tonight: Picking the Performances

I knew that Jamie Foxx’s dulcet American Idol mentoring skills would lull me into catatonia tonight, but now I can count on a full coma. Turns out this is also “Duets” week on Idol , meaning we’re poised to get sappy, sappy sap on our good Sunday clothes. Reports are surfacing that Crystal and Lee will duet, as well as Michael and Casey. Let’s take a look at the song list and pick which hits best work for both duos.

What’s On: Sly Foxx

When Jamie Foxx joins the American Idol contestants for a day of mentorship, commiseration, solidarity, and too many stupid handshakes, how will the four remaining kids fare? Without Aaron Kelly to kick around anymore, the others may have to start (and this a revelatory idea for a few of them) trying. Oh, rapture! Note: The theme tonight tonight does not allow for Crystal Bowersox to sing “Blame It on the A-A-A-A-Alcohol.” So don’t ask.

Andrews vs. Hasselbeck, Round Two

Come on, Elisabeth Hasselbeck. You know that the key to cementing your apology to a Dancing with the Stars contestant after publicly taking sides with her peephole stalker is to call . Erin Andrews revealed to Us Weekly that she has still not heard from Hasselbeck: “I didn’t speak with her, no.” In other Andrews news, ESPN is demanding $300,000 from Andrews’ stalker, Michael David Barrett, to cover the reporter’s additional security expenses last year.

Real Housewives of New Jersey Reality Check: Attack of the Jersey Stage Mothers

If you are an employee of Child Protective Services — or a friend of an employee of Child Protective Services — please speed over to Danielle Staub’s crumbling Jersey McMansion pronto. This woman is already in the system — for kidnapping, cocaine possession, falsely accusing her first husband of raping her on a bed of broken glass, prostitution, the usual — and as of last night’s episode, “Generation Vexers,” she is pimping her daughter out for her own financial gain and vicarious thrills. (Come to think of it, why haven’t Danielle’s children been taken away sooner, and why does she have a reality show where her abominable parenting skills are highlighted while her children — her beautiful, empty daughters — sit by, hopeless?) After the jump, Movieline searches through last night’s depressing depiction of Jersey motherhood to find the truest and falsest moments of the night.

The Gossip Girl Pun Index: Gone Daddy Gone

And with that you can close the book on William Baldwin’s William van der Woodsen. At least until May sweeps next year. Thanks to some old fashioned teamwork and Blair Waldorf-led scheming, the kids on Gossip Girl were able to out Papa van der Woodsen as a liar, charlatan and overall jerk. Well, to everyone but Serena, that is, who despite being abandoned by her father for most of her life, refused to believe that he could ever do anything wrong. Because she’s a pouty idiot. Anyway, “Ex-Husbands and Wives” set the stage for what should be a great finale next week — will Blair and Chuck finally make up?! — but what really matters today are the puns. To the list!
