There is a Reason the Woolly Mammoth is Extinct.

Sure, maybe it’s simply because it couldn’t survive the ice age, but scientists want to clone a woolly mammoth. From a scientific point it sounds kind of cool, but from a “why would we want them back” kind of point, why would we want them back?

No More Making Fun of Regis. Bummer.

Some news reports sounded shocked, Eric Ferguson on WTMX in Chicago might have visions of TV hosting in his head now that he won a chance to co-host with Kelly Ripa, but in any case Regis Philbin announced he will be retiring at the end of the summer bringing an end to, well, making fun of Regis.  Bummer.

Will Ricky Gervais Ever Host Again?

More importantly, does he care?  Ricky Gervais was downright mean while hosting The Golden Globes award, “The Social Network” won best picture for a drama, and thank God “Burlesque” didn’t win best picture for a comedy or musical.  Nikki Finke breaks it down.

Let the Foot Fetish Jokes Continue! Jets Win!

Yup, Tom Brady and his group of football players from the New England Patriots that a lot of people can’t name just couldn’t beat the New York Jets where people know about a quarterback named Sanchez, a reporter with a nice booty, and something about a foot fetish.  It’s Jets v Steelers, with no hope of a Bears/Patriots rematch of a Super Bowl 25 years ago.

There was no Dilemma, people saw “The Green Hornet.”

Not a great weekend at the box office, but it looks like people wanted an action movie and not a comedy, so “The Green Hornet” beat out “The Dilemma,” but a lot.  Must be January.

Mel: Sell the Maserati, buy a Ford.

In one of the Mel Gibson tapes he was complaining that he didn’t have any more money, that he had to give up his basketball box, and that he wanted a b…., well, in any case he was worried about money. I’m thinking A) Mel, maybe you should sell your Maserati and buy a Ford B) Too late, since you crashed your Maserati. At least no one seems to be hurt, and bad driving and not alcohol seems to be the cause.

Aaron Kelly – I Won’t Really Miss You

So the youngest dude, Aaron Kelly on American Idol got the boot, just as he started to seem to come into his own.  At least the little dude started to figure out his singing identity, and maybe he can be the country Justin Bieber, but then again, do we really want another Justin Bieber?

Kate Gosselin Gets to Take Care of Her Kids Again!

Boo hoo. Kate Gosselin started crying when she got booted from Dancing With the Stars. Let the “She’s crying because she has to go back home and take care of her kids!” jokes start now. At least Pam Anderson’s boobs are still around for another week!

Maybe an 11 Year Old Girl Dropping the “C-Word” is a Turn-Off?

I saw “Kick-Ass” and loved it, but some other folks found it reprehensible that an 11 year old girl would be potty-mouthed (nothing like a cute girl saying c&#$ and f&$#) and annihilate the bad guys with brutality and vengeance.  Even so, I guess there aren’t nearly enough geeks to love this thing as “How To Train Your Dragon” might win the weekend box office again.  And, oh yea, don’t look for Chris Rock to be leading any feature films again anytime soon.

The Winner of The Tiger Woods Mistress Pageant is: Jamie Jungers

Howard Stern had a beauty pageant.  Well, sort of.  Actually it was the Tiger Woods Mistress Pageant, and a winner was crowned.  The winner is Jamie Jungers!  Okay, she had a nice story, she won a lot of cash, and maybe she can get a first class ticket instead of flying coach like Tiger used to set her up with.
