White House Correspondents Dinner Weekend: It's a Wrap
By Annie Groer - Politics DailyPresident Obama used the glitzy White House Correspondents' Association dinner Saturday night to take a few shots at himself, his staff, the press and, of course, the Republicans. In turn, many of the 2,700 guests from the increasingly overlapping worlds of media, politics and celebrity used the annual black-tie dinner to anchor more than a dozen other weekend parties with heavy groupie overtones. Obama, who by many accounts upstaged the headliner, Jay Leno, spoke first. "There are few thing in life that are harder to find and more important to keep than love," he deadpanned. "Well, love ...
Enough With Lament: Why This Decade Should Be Celebrated
By Andrew Clark - Politics DailyNow that the eve of a new decade is upon us, the pundits are looking back at the 2000s, and they're judging it a train wreck. Time Magazine heralded the goodbye to the Decade From Hell, calling it the "most dispiriting and disillusioning decade Americans have lived through in the post-World War II era," going so far as to create a slide show titled "The 10 Worst Things About the Worst Decade Ever." In a clever wordplay, the Washington Post lamented that the decade should not be called the Aughts, but the "Oughts," in memoriam of all the achievements that "ought" to have happened in the 2000s, ...
Top Chauv: Feeling the Heat
By Domenica Marchetti - Politics DailyHere in the nation's capital, a minor brouhaha is brewing over a recent episode of "Top Chef," in which contestant Mike Isabella, chef at Jose Andres's popular D.C. Mediterranean restaurant Zaytinya, made a disparaging remark about a female co-contestant. I don't watch "Top Chef" (or any reality TV), so I did not see the entire episode. But apparently, Isabella is not winning over many fans with his less-than-winning personality. In a race against contestant Jennifer Carroll to shuck a pile of oysters, Isabella spits out this pearl: "There's no way, no offense, that a girl should be at the ...
What Does Barack Obama Watch on TV?
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyWhen you've got a tough job like mine, or like the Presidency of the United States, it's nice to be able to wind down occasionally with a little diversion from the boob tube. As it turns out, the Prez and I share some of the same taste in teevee viewing, according to Politico: President Barack Obama can't stand to be without his "Entourage." Call it a guilty pleasure, or maybe it just rings familiar to him. The HBO series about an aspiring actor features a fast-talking agent named Ari, based on the real-life brother of Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel. OK, I like Entourage, but what else ...
Austin Powers, Eric Murphy Embrace the Puck
By Greg Wyshynski - AOL NewsThis is the teaser poster for the new Mike Myers comedy "The Love Guru," which is due out this summer. We've been covering its journey to a sticky-floored theater near you here on FanHouse for four reasons: 1. There's always the chance that this film will produce an iconic comedic figure like Austin Powers or Wayne Campbell rather than an annoying and then completely forgettable creation like "The Cat in the Hat." 2. Jessica Alba is in the film. 3. The NHL, and hockey in general, play a central role in the plot. 4. Jessica Alba is in the film. The great Jeremy Smith of ...
When Turtle Lookalikes, Mascots, and Crack Cocaine Meet
By Eamonn Brennan - AOL NewsI have no idea what this is, but it appears to have come from the Giants team web site. Our guy Mullet thinks it might be from 2003. Our guy Larry Brown is just as unsure as I am. None of that really matters, actually. What matters is that some heavyset dude in Giants gear found his favorite team's mascot, placed the both of them in front of some sort of camera, and proceeded to dance his face off.I don't want to insinuate that a narcotic was necessary to elicit this sort of emotion from this guy (who looks a lot like Turtle from Entourage, by the way), but dude ... it's the Giants, ok? Take a ...
