Jake Gyllenhaal In Drag on SNL
Nothing like dressing up in drag and belting the signature tune from Dreamgirls to dispel those gay rumors -- good work Jakey! The ambiguously straight actor has dealt with rumors about his sexuality since day one. From Matthew McConaughey (cycling buddy or lover?) to Natalie Portman (friendly beard?), Jake's nearest and dearest apparently don't hold a candle to Jennifer Hudson.

Paula Abdul - Drunk or High?
It's probably not booze, and we doubt it's pills... It's probably booze AND pills. Word up, girlfriend.
American idol judge Paula Abdul provides us with yet another PR mightmare. Earlier this week on Seattle's Fox affiliate station, the former Lakers' girl was
struggling to put together a coherent sentance. While answering questions in an interview she was slurring
her words and slamming the city of Seattle.

Tim & Eric: Awesome Show, Great Job
Such is the circle of sketch comedy life. The good ones only last so long, but luckily they creep up just when you need them and never outstay their welcome. February 11, Adult Swim brings us this new project from the creators of Tom Goes to the Mayor, which seems to pack more hahas into 15 minutes than Law & Order: SVU has done in 8 seasons.
This promo featuring a Bob Odenkirk character reminiscent of the photomat employee from Mr. Show captures the sheer bazonkery and intentionally sloppy editing that we can expect on a weekly basis.
Awesome Clip, Great Job!

I'm From the Rolling Stone
Because there is very little action involved in the writing process -- unlike the business-minded Apprentice and the fashion-forward Project Runway -- this show gets some help from the promise of intimate rock star face-time, featuring appearances by the Shins, Snoop Dogg and Lionel Richie. But from the looks of its first episode, the driving force of the show will be the personalities of the contestants themselves.
The two who stand out so far are Russell -- a bit of a prick, but a talented prick -- and Krishtine, who seems to “lack focus” but will probably stick around because her “idiotic moments” appeal to the MTV crowd. Just like any reality show, none of the contestants seem to realize that they are fighting for a job, and a very professional one at that.
