REgis Philbin has been on some shows. Some shows I may have seen. Most that I haven't. Other than Who Wants To Be a Millionaire, I am kind of scratching my head trying to think of what else he has done besides the morning shows, which I would only watch to stare at Kelly Ripa if I happened to surf by it.
So...he's going to be lighting up his monte cristo cigars and sailing of to the old folks home in Florida I suppose. He claims he isn't sick and that he is just retiring.
"No, I'm not sick," he declared on his morning morning chatfast Wednesday.
Showing off newspaper clips with stories about his retirement news, he added, "I don't want to get morbid about this but I almost felt like I was looking at my obituary," he said.
I imagine it does. Feels like writing one just talking about a celebrity retiring, because frankly, they NEVER RETIRE. So...upon this realization, I guess good old Regis is just looking for some ass kissing while he is alive. Well played, sir. Well played.

Jennifer Lopez Makes a Fool Of Herself
I honestly have no idea what the context of these quotes are from, but I'm going to go with she is dead serious when she says them. She is talking about the Golden Globes and being afraid that Ricky Gervais will make fun of her and embarrass her. Guess you wanted that job for yourself.
"He's very gutsy, it takes a lot of guts to get up there and make the comments he made and go for that type of comedy," she tells Access Hollywood. "I'm sure in his mind it was all in good fun. But in the room, being in the room it was like, eek... Then, when I go backstage to present, I'm backstage with Alec [Baldwin], we're about to walk out, and Ricky shows up. I say, 'Listen! I will kill you, you understand, I am from New York, my husband fights, we both fight, we will beat you up after the show... with a couple of bleep bleeps in there."
In the end, he made a crack about her extravagant spending habits, but she said she didn't mind it. Maybe something about needing the best weight loss supplement would have been better. AT least be rude dude.
"I scared him," Lopez later told Ellen DeGeneres on her show. "He was scary, though."

The "Poe Toaster" Doesn't Show For Second Straight Year
A tradition that started in 1949, and ran for some 60 years seems to be done. For the second straight year the mysterious Poe Toaster failed to show at the grave of Edgar Allen Poe on his birthday.
A fascinating tradition that ran for some 60 years and was never fully explained appears to have ended. An unknown person who left three roses and a half-empty bottle of cognac at Poe's grave on the anniversary of the writer's birth failed to appear Wednesday, the second straight year he's disappointed those who stake out the downtown Westminster Hall and Burying Ground.
"I think we can safely say it's not car trouble, and he's not sick," said Jeff Jerome, curator of the Poe House and Museum. "This doesn't look good."
Maybe he was more interested in reading phentermine reviews today.

Has Ricky Gervais Ever Not Went Close To Over the Line?
While watching the Golden Globe stuff so I could talk about it a little I saw some of his older videos on Youtube that I remembered from the past. What's funny is that I was clear on what kind of comedian he was before the show, but the backlash was what surprised me considering what kind of comedian he is.
The one video I have always loved of him on Youtube wasn't a stand up act, or anything that you would even think of with him in it. While pretty tame compared to most things he does, it still shows that he isn't going to be handcuffed by his stage no matter what. It is a video of him hanging out with Elmo from Sesame Street. It is hilarious, and cute, but at the same time he still touches on subjects that probably aren't appropriate for the company he is with.
He mentions the Holocaust, fat people that need weight loss pills that work, necrophelia, and it is still hilarious.

Ricky Gervais Claims He Won't Host Golden Globes Again
The absurdity of this backlash for his performance at the Golden Globes just keeps getting better. Don't fool yourself into thinking any of this is real. It's all a put on IMO. The Golden Globes are perfectly happy with what he did at the awards show. They didn't even ask to see his script before hand, and unless you didn't know who Gervais was before you saw him at the show you already knew he was going to be a grumpy and controversial host.
It isn't like Gervais went out of his way to sound like he was upset with the Golden Globes. People are just making it into something that it isn't. Maybe they were uncomfortable?
Gervais said "I think twice is enough." to TMZ earlier. Oh no! He is really upset. Sounds like he just doesn't have any more jokes to me. Clearly most of his jokes at the show were 10 years old already. Maybe he needs to spend some time with a cautery and some medical supplies and come up with more fat guy, AIDS, and cancer jokes like his standup act.

Jim Carrey Still Drawing Ratings on SNL
IT seems like it has been a decade since I watched a Jim Carrey movie that I liked. Well it seems like a decade since I have seen any Carrey movies. For some reason he seems to have been passed on as an entertainer that I follow, or look forward to seeing.
After the NFL playoff games yesterday (GREAT opening weekend of the NFL BTW) I saw he was on and decided to watch. Then I got sidetracked and never watched it...lol
Today I see that his ratings were the best since our favorite golden oldie, Betty White was on. If you remember, Betty White's appearance had a huge following and she actually was picked to appear based on a Facebook campaign, and rubbing magic rings. SNL delivered a 7.8 in the metered-market household Nielsens. You have to go back to when Betty White hosted the show with Jay-Z as musical guest last season to find a bigger next-day number.
I guess I will catch it later this week with On Demand since I missed it. I can never tell what the show is gonna be based on what I see viewers say. The show DOES suck most weeks so I can't blame the bitterness out there, but there are always a few good sketches, and even when weeks are above average people still complain about "how it used to be" like they remember it being the greatest show ever. IT has been a while for sure with a cast I truly enjoyedd, but the show has its moments still.

Mila Kunis Broke Up With Macauley Culkin After 8 Years!
Forget about the fact that I never knew they were even going out. I always thought Macauley was a drug addict, or some crack head somewhere laying on the glass tile in his bathroom. Dude is never anywhere anymore. He's only about 30 I think so it seems like he'd be in some flicks now and then. Maybe he is and I didn't notice that either?
Anyways, I guess they broke up, and went out for 8 years. Why they broke up I could not say. Probably because he has greasy hair? Makes as much sense as anything else I can think of.

"Little Fockers" Win Box Office For Second Straight Week
For the love of god people go watch a real movie. While I liked Meet the PArents, and even tolerated Meet the Fockers, seeing this movie win the box office 2 weeks in a row is saddening. Not because it is awful, although I suspect it probably is, but that it has this much power at the theater. Everyone getting out of inpatient rehab centers for the holidays and need a stoner movie to see?
Regardless. Check out Tron: Legacy before it gets out of theaters if you plan to ever see it at all. Like Avatar, it NEEDS to be seen in the theater.
"Little Fockers" led the box office over the New Year's holiday with $25.8 million, finishing as the No. 1 movie for the second-straight weekend. Second was "True Grit," Paramount, $24,416,515, 3,083 locations, $7,920 average, $86,670,382, two weeks. Third was "Tron: Legacy," Disney, $18,756,973, 3,365 locations, $5,574 average, $131,304,844, three weeks.
Another movie that seems to not be raking as much cash as I thought it would is The Fighter which is still under $50 Mil. Not bad, but I thought it would be closer to these other movies by now. It's a pretty good family flick actually. It has a lot of cussing in it, but for the older kids it is a good show with some good action and laughs.

Ozzy Has Advice For Lady Gaga: Take a Break
Sounds like Ozzy is as sick of Lady Gaga as everyone else is. He gives his advice to tell her that she should take a break so that she doesn't wear out her welcome. Just have a puff on a couple alec bradley cigars
and enjoy your success while out of the spotlight.
“I do think Lady Gaga should take a break for a little while. She’s getting to be too much,” Ozzy told Us Weekly in a telephone interview last week. “And she doesn’t watch the exposure of her clothes. She’s just too overexposed.”
The 62-year-old Brit believes that while the Princess of pop has the chops to be the next queen, her talent is often overshadowed by her attention-seeking get-ups (case in point — meat dress).
“She could be the next Madonna if she played her cards right. I like her, but I’m getting a bit sick of her,” Ozzy told the mag. “When I turn on the TV, I see her wearing another lampshade or whatever… I think she’s really, really entertaining, but she’s doing a bit too much. Every day it is something else.
“The specialness of her is gonna get killed if she doesn’t calm it down,” he added. “…Someone should whisper in her ear and say back off for a couple of months — let people gain interest back.”

American Film Institute Top 10 Films of 2010
Here is the American Film Institute's Top 10 Films of 2010:
Black Swan
The Fighter
Inception
The Kids Are All Right
127 Hours
The Social Network
The Town
Toy Story 3
True Grit
Winter’s Bone
I have seen 4 of these movies so far. Inception, while a good action movie, it is nowhere near the "thinker" some people try to make it out to be. The entire concept is actually just ridiculous for the sake of trying to be a mind bender. For this year of movies, however it is one of the better ones.
The Social Network was interesting. Winter's Bone I didn't get into that much really. Toy Story 3 is like all the other animation movies. Always worth a few chuckles and better than most of the other movies out.
The rest I haven't seen, but one movie I will never see is "The Kids Are Alright". If you have On Demand on your cable box you probably know what I mean. EVERY show you watch almost has a commercial for this movie. If I hear "So...how did you guys meet? My tongue was numb and I told her to relax." ever again I may scream. Everything about that scene makes me hate the movie.
