Golden Globe Host Ricky Gervais Made Jokes at His Mother's Funeral
By Steven Hoffer - AOL News(Dec. 14) -- Where dose Ricky Gervais draw the line on practical jokes? The award-winning comedian and host of the 68th annual Golden Globe Awards -- which announced this year's nominations today -- appeared on CBS' "Late Show With David Letterman" on Monday night to promote his upcoming hosting gig. While on the show, Gervais chatted with Letterman about his family's approach to humor at all costs, including his own mischievous prank at his mother's funeral. Check out the "Late Show" clip to see what had the Gervais family giggling at their mother's funeral: Gervais will host his ...
A Holiday in Israel and More: Chilean Miners Rake In Offers [VIDEO]
By J. Richard - AOL News(Nov. 10) -- When Israel invited the 33 recently rescued Chilean miners on an expense-free trip to the Holy Land over Christmas, they probably didn't expect the offer to break the bank. But the men, who became international superstars last month after surviving 69 days underground, drive a pretty hard bargain: They accepted Israel's offer on the condition they can bring 70 relatives along with them. The request may seem reasonable to the miners in light of the lucrative offers they have already received from media outlets looking to cash in on their story. After all, when miner Mario ...
Can Blagojevich Win Jurors' Votes in Corruption Case?
By Allan Lengel - AOL News(June 3) -- After glad-handing citizens and hustling on the campaign trail, Rod Blagojevich, the man with the trademark Beatles-style do, persuaded 1.7 million Illinois voters to re-elect him governor in 2006. Nearly four years later, the now-impeached governor hopes to win over just 12 very important votes: the jurors who will decide his fate in his highly publicized public corruption trial that began today in Chicago. This time, however, he won't be able to chat them up or shake their hands -- as badly as he may want to. "I'm sure he'll find it very frustrating," Kent Redfield, professor ...
Exposing the Boys Club of Late-Night TV
By Judy Howard Ellis - Politics DailyThe reported sexual harassment at "The Late Show With David Letterman" was slimy enough, but Nell Scovell's piece in Vanity Fair plumbs a new depth of workplace foulness in late-night TV. Wonder how many women actually write some of the stuff Letterman, Jay Leno or Conan O'Brien say? Scovell says there are none. Sexual harassment is a universally understood offense, but so is unequal opportunity. Competent women should have the same chance to nab the job in any industry, just like capable men. But Scovell alleges that women rarely get that equal shot to compete and win jobs on Letterman's ...
