NBC UNCANCELS ‘TRAUMA’

By all accounts, “Trauma” was basically a medical drama as imagined by Michael Bay. It got panned by critics, earned lousy ratings, and NBC announced it was stopping production immediately. Now, by unpopular non-demand, NBC has ordered more episodes. Why would NBC order...

WHAT’S ON 2NITE: ‘PROJECT RUNWAY’ FINALE

Project Runway (Lifetime) — It sucks that this season was on Lifetime and outdated and irrelevant, because it’s nice to see a final trio composed completely of not-unattractive women, with nary a bitchy flamboyant gay man in sight. Pictured L-R: sexy Irina, occasionally...

I SMELL PULITZER!

Honestly, a police car’s dash-cam catching video of a cat crawling up a cop’s leg and sitting on his head while he writes a ticket would be enough to make my day. But what makes this so much better is that it’s a news report about a cat crawling up a cop’s...

DID CONAN GET HIS GROOVE BACK?

When Conan O’Brien finally took the reigns of “The Tonight Show” this spring, many longtime fans couldn’t help but notice that he seemed uncomfortable toning down the gleefully unhinged humor that made his “Late Night” such a success. Gone were...

SOFIA VERGARA LOVES A GOOD RAPE JOKE

“Modern Family” star Sofia Vergara went on “The View,” where the weirdos and old bats expressed amazement that the 37-year-old could be so scorchingly hot (my words, not theirs) and still have an 18-year-old son. But people have gotten their knickers in a twist...

LESBIANS! SEXY LESBIANS EVERYWHERE!

SARAH PALIN GAVE OPRAH HUGE RATINGS

Thanks to my fully functioning prefrontal cortex, I don’t pay much attention to daytime television. But this whole “Sarah Palin on Oprah Winfrey” thing has been all over the news, so I feel like I should address the fact that Monday’s interview gave Oprah her...

BARACK OBAMA: SATAN, OR MERELY EVIL?

My least favorite posts to write are the ones of a political nature, because they never have anything to do with cats and the people involved are almost always ugly. Take, for example, this video in which Bill O’Reilly says to his guest Lou Dobbs: Final question. Barack Obama...

WELL HELLO LEIGHTON MEESTER

GQ named Leighton Meester “Obsession of the Year” for its December issue, and I don’t know if that award comes with a trophy or a restraining order, but the important thing about it is that it justified a lingerieffic photo shoot by Mark Abrahams. There’s an...

WALKEN + CARTMAN + GAGA = AWESOME

I’m not exactly a proponent of Lady Gaga, but I did spend two days this fall with “Poker Face” stuck in my head non-stop. Since then, there have been two excellent televised versions of her catchy song — first by Eric Cartman on “South Park,” then...

ROB SCHNEIDER IS A HUGE STAR

One of the big things on Howard Stern’s show today was this interview that Rob Schneider gave to a morning radio show in Palm Beach. Apparently SpongeBob and the Morning Zoo or whatever they’re called kept the star of Deuce Bigalow 2: European Gigolo waiting a little too...
