From Kanye’s blog.

Rather than spoil South Park, which you can watch HERE, uncensored, for free, I thought I’d just say how happy I am that South Park is back on it’s game. Last year’s season left me with a disconcerting taste in my mouth (insert dick joke, I’m sure), but Matt and Trey seem to be back on their social satire horse.

I don’t know if y’all have been keeping up on your Daily Show, but Jon Stewart is doing an exemplary job of pulling his show along with the political times and not sitting back on his “Obama’s been elected laurels.”

Without mentioning too much politics, here’s Stewart himself outlining his feud with Jim Cramer of CNBC (a non-biased article you can find HERE at the LA Times Blog):


And the best part? This Thursday on The Daily Show, Jim Cramer has agreed to be a guest.

I love television personality feuds.

If there is one way to clearly spin domestic abuse against your girlfriend, it’s by taking an Anger Management class purely for public reasons.

Daily News’ Gatecrasher got hold of a “snitch” close to Chris Brown’s camp about the encouragement to attend a class before his trail date next Thursday:

“Chris doesn’t actually have to go by law,” our insider tells us, “but he believes it will make him look better to the public, and he wants to try to get in a few classes before March 5,” his court date.

The best part has to be when the Camp Brown insiders “rumble” that he shouldn’t have to go to any anger workshop–after all, he seemed pretty adept at taking it out on women. But nay, it is actually just as much Rihanna’s own fault! Of course! How dare her face get in the way of Chris Brown’s pacifist fists.

“Rihanna is temperamental, too,” says our snitch. “They’re both too hot-headed for their own good.” Adds another source: “It didn’t help that Rihanna grabbed the keys out of his rented Lamborghini and threw them down the street. She knew it would really infuriate Chris, and it worked.”

Cause really, you should’ve seen the hits Rihanna got in! Wow! I mean, she really socked him good because of some trivial thing. Oh wait.

piven

Did you know eating too much sushi could give you mercury poisoning? It’s true! Much like if you drink metric shit-tons* of Diet Soda, you could likely get cancer or how Mountain Dew will make you sterile.

And if you’re Jeremy Piven, after eating god knows how much sushi (we’re betting around six or seven tuna sashimi) he claimed he had mercury poisoning. Brief backgrounder: Piven was on Broadway in David Mamet’s “Speed-the-Plow” when reports of his partying and attempts to leave the production were based on his half-assed excuse. He’d eventually be replaced by Mamet staple William H. Macy, but the damage had been done.

And now, he’s forced to defend himself in front of Actors’ Equity according to the New York Post:

Piven will appear before a committee of five actors and five producers. He is expected to brandish the results of a blood test given to him by his doctor, and will likely give a blow-by-blow account of his illness during the show.

The results of that test have not been revealed, but the producers are expected to allege that long before he claimed to be ill, Piven was agitating to leave the show.

The producers also have a record of where Piven’s car and driver took him after performances, sources say.

Although Piven claimed he was so ill that he often went home after the show, sources say the log shows that he spent many nights out on the town.

So why was Piven so desperate to jump off? Apparently, doing eight shows a week for a limited time is hard work when you’re bread and butter is playing a coked-up version of yourself Ari from Entourage. And while we’re sure Jeremy would never make up a half-assed excuse about fish or something just to get back to L.A. and bang some bimbo, we are sure justice will be done.

*1 metric shit-ton=30 percent more than regular ton.

Chris Brown, Chris Brown.

I’m feeling a little better about this story today, because the media’s endless scouring for the the “story” behind this whole Rihanna/Chris Brown assault are actually picking up on the interesting minutia of the whole thing and still doing their fact finding jobs.

For instance, normally, this sort of thing would pass over with a few misogynistic jokes about putting your woman in place. But, because of the pop-star sized serving we got this scandal in, the information is consistently more intriguing. Like, everyone assumes Chris Brown is a jackass and did it, despite no statements of damning evidence from any official organization or party.

Chris Brown gets his songs pulled from some radio stations, Rihanna’s missing a concert and Jay-Z is rumored to have declared Brown: “a dead man…”

Welcome to the newest addition of the Spielberg Shuffle, where the fate of DreamWorks is constantly changing and everyone wants a piece.

Thing is, that piece went to Reliance BIG Entertainment, part of The Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group. Bullet points!

- Spielberg and Stacey Snyder are now in partnership with Dubai’s Reliance BIG Entertainment.

- David Geffen, who arranged the deal, will not be joining the new DreamWorks.

- The majority of the DreamWorks staff will make the move with their principals.

And here is where this whole thing gets confusing. Last we heard from DreamWorks, the mobile studio, they were locking down a six-year, six-picture distribution deal with UNIVERSAL STUDIOS, and they claimed that we’d see the first DreamWorks/Universal deal as early as late 2009.

My post about it is HERE and the NYTimes source is HERE.

So why are we hearing about a very similar deal between DreamWorks and Disney today…

Christian Bale’s tirade against the DP of Terminator Salvation has hijacked a slow news week and spread like wildfire through the internet (insert more viral cliches here). Not only have things like the Christian Bale soundboard popped up, but the outburst has birthed a “I drink your milkshake”-equal catchphrase:

The LA-based electro-pop group Mae Shi managed to see that this Bale thing was going to be bigger than anyone thought and pushed out a Bale tribute track, “RU Professional” that is winning the Christian Bale remix contest. That addictive track and where to download it under the cut…
