Quick Hits – The Someone Call Andrew McCarthy Edition

(Enter Weekend at Bernie’s joke here)
Two roommates wheeled a third, recently deceased, roommate in an old office chair down to the local check cashing place to try and cash the dead roommate’s social security check. The plan went awry when the dead body, WHICH THEY LEFT UNATTENDED ON THE STREET, started to draw a crowd and a police officer having coffee next door noticed. The pair were arrested and charged with Check Fraud. I expect them to option their story to a studio for mid six figures any day now

White Trash Battle Royal (with cheese!)
Britney Spears’ parents are shocked and appalled about the public statements made by Dr. Phil about their daughter and that he was planning on talking about it ON TV, so in beautifully ironic move they went ON TV to complain about it.
“Hi, we are the Pot family. We have only one thing to say to you Dr. Kettle…you are black!”
What did they expect when they brought the TV doctor in to see their famous train wreck daughter?

American Idle
Katharine McPhee has become the latest in a string of former American Idol contestants to be dropped by their record label, Sony-BMG. Just last week karaoke kingpin and season 5 winner, Taylor Hicks, was dropped from the Sony cavalcade of stars.
McPhee is the third Idol star to bite the dust. 2003 winner Reuben Studdard left recently and is currently recording an album that no one will ever hear.

Worse Idea Than “Legally Blonde: The Musical”
Jean Valjean, The Phantom, Munkustrap, and now Tyler Durden??!?!?! David Fincher wants to bring Fight Club to Broadway in 2009 for the ten year anniversary of the film. Chuck Palahniuk has apparently signed off. David Fincher must have lost his fucking mind.

What About Haim?
For a while now there has been talk of a straight to DVD Lost Boys sequel. Corey Feldman, who somehow weaseled his way into the movie, is convinced there is a chance this thing will have a theatrical release. He wants people to write the studio and tell them to put the movie in theaters. Let’s face it; this thing is going to DVD faster than Major Movie Star.

Isn’t It a Little Early For the Douchebag of the Year Award?
NBC Entertainment President Ben Silverman is very upset about the effect the WGA strike had on the NBC broadcast of this year's Golden Globes. He is so upset in fact that he went on Ryan Seacrest’s show, the one true place to be heard, and said the following:

“It feels like the nerdiest, ugliest, meanest kids in the high school are trying to cancel the prom."
God forbid prom gets canceled. Without the prom where would he date rape his young impressionable female prey? Shit, if you and your rich jock buddies weren’t hoarding the prom funds there would be no issues with the prom. Maybe if you kicked just a little over to the nerds you wouldn’t be having these problems. You get what I’m saying Stan Gable? Why the fuck am I still using this retarded metaphor? In response to Silverman’s statements, the WGA plans on picketing outside the NBC lot in full formal attire next Thursday. You can get your “Ben Silverman High School” t-shirts here.
