Well...it wasn't recently. How old do you fell? You are probably gonna feel a lot older knowing these two people for so long. I only know Tesh because he wrote the NBA on NBC theme song.
Anyways it appears that in some tell-all cash grab book written by some scumbag named Kitty Kelly reveals that Oprah and Tesh dated all the way back in the 1970s. They lived together while lifting office supplies and doing local news in Tennessee.
The book claims Tesh quickly ended the relationship after deciding he could not deal with the social pressures accompanied with interracial dating. Interesting.
Oprah: A Biography, written by Kitty Kelley, hits stores Tuesday. Kelley has also written unauthorized biographies on First Lady Jackie Kennedy, Frank Sinatra and First Lady Nancy Reagan.

Clash of the Titans Looks to Be in For a good Weekend (and 3-D hate)
The next of the major 2-D conversions to 3-D blockbusters seems to be in line for a stellar box office despite mixed reviews. Clash of the Titans is a remake from the 1981 classic (it was a favorite of mine as a kid, but it was utter cheeseball), and looks to be ready to pull in $6-75 million over the weekend despite a lot of complaints.
With Hollywood going full board into the 3-D realm, every movie that is coming out practically is going 3-D. We've even heard it getting so far as home 3-D HDTV, and cell phones joining in later. Whether it makes any sense for it to be in 3-D, or not is besides the point. Hollywood knows they can jack ticket prices up 25% regardless if they screen them in 3-D. This is one of the major negatives of the current trend, and movie goers aren't excited about it.
Of course if you can find a non-3D screening you have nothing to complain about.

Hot Tub Time Machine
Is this the most advertised movie you have ever heard of? I swear it is talked about as much as anything else going on right now. I even see it being talked about on ESPN. According to most reviews I have seen it is getting a good reception. On the level of The Hangover at least, which is plenty good enough to make it a big seller at the box office I assume.
Starving for an over the top comedy, and kicking off the comedy that is going to come over the summer this will probably have a good run.
Is it going t be stupid? Yes. Is it going to be hilarious? Probably. Should you use drugs before going to see it? Absolutely. Wearing tuxedo shirts to the theater probably isn't such a bad idea either if you want to look like you are down with the 80s.

Movie Studios Jumping on 2-D Conversion to 3-D Bandwagon
Oh joy. As if most movies out didn't suck enough, do we really need to watch them all in 3-D so that the suckiness is flying right into our faces? "Avatar" director James Cameron sees misguided thriftiness in Hollywood studios' latest craze to convert big movie projects from 2-D to 3-D, but the pace of such conversions shows no signs of letting up.
While Cameron isn't against them making everything 3-D, he says that converting from 2-D is just lazy, and the quality is going to be much worse than if it were filmed that way.
Many directors feel the same way. They want a say in what happens to their films, but studios have gone all out in starting to convert anything and everything they can get their hands on.
"Transformers" maker Michael Bay has questioned the move, too.
"The problem is these decisions should be made by filmmakers, they shouldn't be made by studios, because if it was up to studios they're going to sacrifice quality for lower cost," Cameron said, in an event to promote the April 22 release of the DVD for "Avatar."
Studios are rapidly converting now that Walt Disney Co has seen its 3-D conversion "Alice in Wonderland" sell more than $570 million in tickets since its March 5 debut.
I even saw a new HDTV advertised during Lost last night that is the first 3-D home TV available from Samsung. What the hell is going on? They showed people sitting at home with 3-D glasses on. Do I want to see flying weight loss pills on TV? Does anyone honestly want to watch everything with 3-D glasses on? LMAO

Octomom Not Good With Money? Shocking.
The whole Octomom thing was one of the more surreal attempts at fame we have ever seen. While people usually can't get enough of kids, they certainly weren't impressed with the Octomom that exploited them for her own purposes, and ended up making herself look like a whackjob.
So...was it really a surprise when we found out that she spent way more money than she had, or that her house could soon be foreclosed upon? Not really.
What's even more insane is a recent offer she took to help to keep the foreclosure from becoming reality. She accepted a $5,000 deal from the animal rights group PETA to put a sign in her front yard proclaiming, "Don't Let Your Dog or Cat Become an Octomom. Always Spay or Neuter.". She also got a month's supply of veggie burgers and hot dogs in exchange for placing the sign in front of her house in La Habra. Maybe she could use some night repair cream as well. She'll take anything I'm sure.
What a deal!

Jesse James Searched For "Busty Biker Chicks" Online
If Sandra Bullock was embarrassed about her cheating husband before, she might feel a little bit better now at least. Her husband is clearly crazy. Recent reports suggest that while in his cheating he searched online for "well endowed biker chicks". LOL
It appears that he has no interest in a fat burner for women, but he does have a thing for biker chicks.
Sources tell Us Weekly that tattoo model Michelle "Bombshell" McGee is just the first person to come forward alleging an affair with James.
The magazine reports that James, 40, would regularly post Internet ads looking for "hot, tattooed biker chicks with big boobs," and then invite the girls back to his West Coast Choppers bike shop in Long Beach.
James' infidelity has been an openly-known secret among employees at the bike shop, the magazine says, adding that James "gets bored" when Bullock is away.
A former high level, female executive with the bike shop also settled a sexual harassment claim against James and West Coast Choppers for $725,000 in 2007, while he was married to Bullock, TMZ is reporting.

L O S T: The Richard Episode
We've all been waiting forever to finally get some insight into the mystery that is Richard Alpert. Finally, last night in the episode "Ab Aeterno", we got to see it. Maybe not the way we expected, but we saw pretty much all Richard all the time.
The episode started with Richard tending to his sickly wife. NEeding medicine he tool a trip to a doctor a half a day away (Richard is really old if you hadn't figured this out and he was riding a horse). While being told that he couldn't afford the medicine, Richard accidentally killed the doctor, and fled to give it to his wife. She had died before he returned, and we see guard come take him away for murder.
While in jail he was taken as a slave of sorts aboard the Black Rock, the ship of fairy tales in the Lost universe. A big storm hits and it crashes into the giant statue where Jacob resides in a tidal wave, and the ship has found the island. Immediately upon waking the ship captain comes below deck and starts to knock off all the prisoners for fear of running out of supplies, or them killing him eventually. Then Smokey comes and finishes them ALL off except Richard who probably feels like he has been rotting in conjugated linoleic acid. This is where he meets the Man in Black for the first time.
By using his manipulative nature, MiB convinces Richard that he is dead, and in Hell. That if he helps him kill the Devil he can see his wife again. Richard eagerly agrees, and sets off to kill Jacob. Jacob kicks his ass. :D
Jacob explains to Richard that he isn't dead, and his service to Jacob begins and he gains this sort of eternal life. Almost all of the episode is a flashback, but we see n present Lost world that Richard has come to believe that he wasted his life. He seeks MiB to take him up on the offer he gave him originally, but Hugo comes to save the day by telling him what his wife is saying as a ghost. Hugo sees and talks to ghosts obviously.
It lived up to the hype in every way.

Kendra Wilkinson Wants to Make Cast of Breasts
Who is Kendra Wilkinson? Do you know? I don't, but we are about ready to find out because seeing "boobs" in a headline is plenty enough to get me to read it ;).
Oh...she is apparently a "star" on E!. She is married to Hank Basket Jr, some other guy I never heard of.
She appeared on some irrelevant show called Lopez Live according to People.com and talked about her pregnancy. When the subject came around to making a cast of her pregnant belly, she said that she will likely make a cast of her boobs as well. Perfect for wedding party gifts IMO.
"I feel like I'm a little top heavy now," Wilkinson explained before asking the audience: "What do you guys all think?" She was met with resounding boos.
As for her husband, Basket claims he'll be supportive of her decision. "I'm definitely going to miss 'em," he said. "I'm gonna put them up around my house. They're going in my office."
But Wilkinson, who gave birth to son Hank Baskett IV in December, would like to keep a memento of her chest. "We did a belly cast when I was pregnant," she said. "We'll do a boob cast."

Corey Haim's Reported Cause of Death: Pulmonary Congestion
In layman's terms, a heart attack. The autopsy report also said he had an enlarged heart and his lungs were filled with water. Prescription bottles containing four different medications were taken from Haim's room, but coroners did not confirm they were in his system. Same could be said for his outdoor cushions that were probably there.
Haim died Wednesday after being rushed to a Los Angeles hospital. The actor, 38, was taken from his mother's North Hollywood home by ambulance to Burbank's Providence St. Joseph Medical Center, according to police Sgt. Frank Albarran.
"He got out of bed about 1:30 this morning, was a little unsteady on his feet," Winter said on "Good Morning America" Wednesday. Haim's mother then called the paramedics.

Conan O'Brien Releases Dates For Upcoming National Tour
With Conan no longer being on television he decided that he would be going back on the road to his roots and do a bit of stand up. Always known as a great comedy writer and comedian even before his late shows, Conan spent many years behind the scenes writing comedy.
His new tour will be in 30 cities, and expects to be sold out fairly quickly. With a fat stash of cash from his settlement he isn't exactly hurting for the money, but he may have had his pride hurt, and will probably do his share of bad mouthing NBC and the situation this year.
The man that looks like he has always had the best weight loss products and never seen the sun, will start the tour on April 12 in Eugene, Oregon called: The Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour. The title refers to Mr. O’Brien’s settlement with NBC, which included a provision that he cannot appear on television again until after Sept. 1.
