Video: This Weathercaster Wants You To Grab What?

Posted: 02 Feb 2011 11:52 AM PST

We will argue to the grave that newscaster bloopers is the highest form of comedy. Maybe that’s our inner teenage boy talking, but really, nothing makes us laugh harder. And this one? Well, just watch it. And cackle and cackle. (NSFW-ish if you’re not wearing headphones.)

Who's Lying: Cedric or Lisa Vanderpump From 'Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills'?

Posted: 02 Feb 2011 10:22 AM PST

Over the last few weeks, we’ve learned that the relationship between Lisa Vanderpump and the world’s most famous houseguest – Cedric Martinez - has cooled. That’s to put it mildly. Ken Todd, Lisa’s husband explains it this way:

“I Hate him. Hate him, hate him.”

And last night on the show’s reunion episode, we found out that Cedric may or may have tried to blackmail the Vanderpumps when he finally got kicked out of their mansion. Let’s take a look at the evidence to see who’s lying.

Cedric has been friends with Ken and Lisa for almost 15 years, but that all unraveled in one season of Real Housewives.

First off, it was clear from this season that Cedric enjoyed living in Lisa’s palatial estate for free. And while Ken was tired of the situation, Lisa seemed often happy about it. Cedric may not have paid rent, but worked as Lisa’s personal trainer, and appeared to have a role in the couple’s restaurant Villa Blanca.

But since he left, that’s all changed. According to Lisa and Ken, Cedric basically threatened to release a tell-all book unless they paid him some sum of money. But Cedric claims that Lisa’s “ego was so big,” he couldn’t take it anymore:

“I would not necessarily believe what she says, or what you think you know… about Lisa.”

Clearly, the camera loves Cedric. And many of our commenters have taken his side in the whole affair. Like fax here:

“Cedric wasn't a leach, he was a friend who got the shitty end of the stick. Wake up America and smell the coffee.”

All the housewives of course believe Lisa’s claims. And even Bravo reunion moderator Andy Coen sides against Cedric. And while Lisa may not have paid Cedric a salary, living in her palatial state for free for over a year, is clearly a big perk that he enjoyed. Moreover, it turns out that Cedric lied about not having a family. She also points out that Bravo would have shown her treating him badly:

“I think that when the cameras follow you for months, they get a pretty accurate picture of who you are.”

Lisa says that Cedric wanted his 15 minutes, and once she got on the show, his behavior changed. Considering that the footage of Cedric since he left the house follows him to a session with his acting coach, it seems there’s definitely a bit of truth there.

And considering how vague Cedric’s claims are, we’re going to have to side with Lisa. This is basically the best he could muster last night:

“Lisa’s very good at given an impression of herself that’s not necessarily what she’s trying… to do.”

What do you think?

Britney Spears Titles New Album 'Femme Fatale' Because It Sounds French, Probably

Posted: 02 Feb 2011 10:17 AM PST

That has to be the reason, right? Why else would Britney Spears pick that specific term for her latest collection of songs? Because as much as I love Britney, I definitely do not think of that Nico song, or a Bond girl, or anyone from a 1950s detective serial.

Then again, the literal translation of “femme fatale” is “deadly woman,” and although Britney is no Jessica Rabbit, she did smash that dude’s car one time with an umbrella. And posed with a snake. And let her kid drive her car. So yeah, maybe she’s on to something there.

(Though here’s a pro-tip: Femme Fatales don’t usually dress like angels.)

5 Reasons Ringo Starr Trademarked 'Ringo'

Posted: 02 Feb 2011 09:40 AM PST

Today, one of the two last surviving Beatles, Ringo Starr, officially trademarked his first name. The official reason was so that he could then use “Ringo” to officially license his fame for such purposes as “computer game software, “games via the Internet and wireless devices,” and “plush toys.” Uhhh…

We think the real reason is that Ringo was scared that people were going around, using his famous iconography to illegally market their off-brand products. Like:

The NuvaRingo: Keeps your period in beat. Most of the time.”

• Collector’s edition pewter molds from Lord Of The Ringo trilogy. (“One Ringo to rule them all!”)

Thomas the Tank Engine sex toys.

Rock Band: Ringo Edition (It’s just the drum kit, and a mic that will only let you sing “Octopus’s Garden”)

• Non-licensed Ringo plushies.

Breaking: Scarlett Johansson And Ryan Reynolds Have Chateau Marmont "Reunion"

Posted: 02 Feb 2011 09:18 AM PST

Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds need a publicist intervention. The divorcing couple is battling to retain control of their breakup story in the press, and today’s latest is just a little silly. Apparently, they went to the Chateau Marmont to have a “reunion.” And Scarlett got all teary seeing Ryan again.

Dear ScarJo: please fire your breakup consultants.

The Chateau Marmont, for those who have not caught on yet, is a place for partying, overdosing and having your picture taken. Sofia Coppola just released a movie where the Chateau Marmont played a supporting role. If you want to go have lunch there and have your picture taken, fine. But don’t pretend that you’re sharing some sort of special moment.

Also, Scarlett Johansson’s team is working on overdrive to make her look good. (Even though our sources tell us that Scarlett’s cheating is what ended the marriage.)

But this is just silly. Here’s the text from Us today:

“Heads turned at L.A.’s Chateau Marmont at 11 p.m. Jan. 28, when exes Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson, who filed for divorce Dec. 23, got drinks on the patio and chatted for an hour.

Johansson, 26, did most of the talking in what appeared to be a rollercoaster conversation. She would at some points smile, then appear to fight back tears. Turns out it wasn’t just a nightcap, either.”

Is Scarlett trying to prove that in fact she does have acting chops? Because trying to pass this off as anything other than a photo opp is just silly.
