Blake Lively, the highlight of the Emmy’s … priest has affair with stripper … the secrets inside your dog’s mind … non-sports hazing at a renowned high school in New Jersey, featuring the “slut list” … Jedi really is a religion? … doesn’t seem like a good bet for Uncle Sam …politics and baseball (Rays!), big fun … “Topical Cream for Erectile Dysfunction Shows Promise” … finally, Starbury’s webcam days are over … involves a 91-year-old naked man and a gun … a definite waste of oxygen, here …

Faith Hill >>>Blake Lively

anyone see this in the NYTimes about John Edwards and mis mistress>
He wrote that Mr. Edwards once calmed an anxious Ms. Hunter by promising her that after his wife died, he would marry her in a rooftop ceremony in New York with an appearance by the Dave Matthews Band.
WOW

Looove the lady who just comes over to kick the guy while they have him pinned down.
September 21st, 2009 at 8:11 am
So… John Kerry was actually the lesser douche on that ticket.
September 21st, 2009 at 8:15 am
I always thought Kerry was the Turd Sandwich.
September 21st, 2009 at 8:22 am
she’s gonna be harsh looking by the time she’s 40.
September 21st, 2009 at 8:22 am
That was Jerry Jones you were thinking of.
Oh wait…he’s the giant douche.
September 21st, 2009 at 8:25 am
Olivia Wilde looked better TBL; her dress was very nice
September 21st, 2009 at 8:26 am
My favorite part of that bank robber video is the bad guy’s name. Sinister Smith.

“I feel like I’m living out a character actor’s dream,” said Emerson, who was originally signed to do two episodes of “Lost” and has become one of its key players. “One day, I flew out to Hawaii to do a guest spot, and four years later, it’s become the role of a lifetime.”
I did not know this part. That guy has driven that show from the minute he came on the screen. I don’t know what the original plan was, it wasn’t better than Ben Linus.
September 21st, 2009 at 8:33 am
Yep, part of Lost lore, just like Jack was originally slated to die in the pilot, with possibly Michael Keaton in his shoes. Obviously, casting Keaton and having Jack live would’ve probably negated the whole JaKawyler troika. I wish they’d land Keaton for a regular role and cut some dead weight. Emerson, Fox and Terry what’s-his-face are by far the best actors on the show.
September 21st, 2009 at 8:33 am
I watched Emerson’s acceptance speech… that guy really is a weirdo.
September 21st, 2009 at 8:34 am
Emerson looked scary last night. Can’t wait for that show to come back.
September 21st, 2009 at 8:35 am
They wanted Brandon Marshall………
September 21st, 2009 at 8:35 am
which is why when Carlton/Cuse talk about the story arc being in place from the very beginning and being able to tell the whole story as originally conceived is a little dubious.
He does run the show.
September 21st, 2009 at 8:36 am
ANybody see his wife. He’s married to the girl that plays Arlene in True Blood.
September 21st, 2009 at 8:37 am
3-0 in fantasy.
highest scorer again in the 1st tbl league.
going to the fantasy baseball championship! stomped the reg season champ, 11-1. only 1 start this week from lincecum and wainwright, tho.
September 21st, 2009 at 8:37 am
Did John Locke win anything?
That guy is a tour de force running around the jungle.
/Men on Film’d
September 21st, 2009 at 8:39 am
Some NFL team needs to sign that guy in the bank video. That was an LT style take down and strip sack right there.
September 21st, 2009 at 8:42 am
Howard > PuHGHols.
September 21st, 2009 at 8:44 am
i blew away my opponent by 50 points. Who is emerson? Give me his character name. I skipped last season. I need to catch up
September 21st, 2009 at 8:45 am
Yes, those three are particularly good. Evangeline Lilly (Kate) is, I think, quite a bit underrated. And, Josh Holloway has made Sawyer into one of the all time great characters. Really, I don’t think there are any sub-par acting performances to be found on that cast.
September 21st, 2009 at 8:47 am
Went 1-2 again this week. Welker out really screwed me in 1 league, I had to pick between Lance Moore and Mario Manningham. Needless to say, I did not choose wisely.
September 21st, 2009 at 8:48 am
Howard > PuHGHols
No.
September 21st, 2009 at 8:48 am
i’ll give them the benefit of the doubt they had a very, very rough idea of what would happen. “The plane crashes, they find other people on the island, they get off the island, and yada yada yada series over.”
if they didn’t have a set amount of seasons to end it I’m sure it would be a good a show as heroes is right now.
September 21st, 2009 at 8:53 am
Sat Felix Jones, that was an unwise decision.
September 21st, 2009 at 8:58 am
anybody go see The Informant over the weekend? I was kinda disappointed
September 21st, 2009 at 8:59 am
what was disappointing about it? not funny?
i plan on seeing it at some point, probably DVD though.
September 21st, 2009 at 9:00 am
the finite timeline is what I really love about the show.
i would guess that they had a really detailed storyline written but Emerson’s impact with the audience couldn’t be ignored.
fyi – They have a guy on payroll who’s job is to keep track of the LOST timeline. Sweet gig.
September 21st, 2009 at 9:03 am
pretty much. Whoever cut the trailer together knows how to sell a movie because there just weren’t that many funny parts…
September 21st, 2009 at 9:03 am
emerson is Ben. you know, the crazy leader of the others.
Was close to seeing a movie, but passed. box office was hurting – megan fox’s movie tanked.
just looked up the college football sked – weak saturday night. if you’re like me and you sat in front the TV for 9 hrs last sunday and yesterday, you’ll skip the Penn state-Iowa clunker
September 21st, 2009 at 9:05 am
megan fox’s movie tanked.
yeah, but it got a lot of Oscar buzz.
September 21st, 2009 at 9:06 am
wow. that came across terrible.
Basically, If you go into the movie expecting the type of pace and humor you saw in the trailer, forget about going see it. It’s not like that at all.
September 21st, 2009 at 9:07 am
you’ll skip the Penn state-Iowa clunker
When is Penn State going to play someone good?
September 21st, 2009 at 9:07 am
did you like/see burn after reading? I want to see the informant, and loved burn after reading, and i’ve got a feeling informant is similar in comedy to that.
but i could definitely see the trailer giving away a ton of funny parts. sometimes i wish studios would bank on the star power and limit the amount of trailers they put out there.
September 21st, 2009 at 9:08 am
Did not like Lively last night. Bad hair and she looked like a prostitute.
September 21st, 2009 at 9:09 am
There’s only so much money to be made from horny teenage boys.
I’ll be damned if I’m going to sit here and let you say the Temple Owls aren’t “good”!
September 21st, 2009 at 9:21 am
@wil
haven’t yet, but its on HBO constantly so I’ll get around to it. I like all types of humor, but The Informant just fails. I know its pretty cliche, but the movie didn’t know what it wanted be…
September 21st, 2009 at 9:23 am
thanks for the headsup Badger. Think i’ll save this one for DVD and drag the fiance to Zombieworld instead. (really dreading having to see Fame, but I really want to see a zombie movie…)

Crabtree makes me sick to my stomach. What a punk. He has Charles Rogers written all over him.

Around the same time of year as Florida and Texas.
