Commission Examines Not-So-Funny Reality of Prison Rape
I find the topic of sexual abuse in prisons both depressing and compelling. On "the outside," rape is viewed as the price a convict should expect to pay for his or her crime. References to prison in everyday conversations or popular culture (like this soap as promotional product for the TV show Prison Break) typically involve jokes about rape.
Jessica Really Appeals to the Teens
Apparently Jessica and Cash didn't have time to take advantage of being in Paris after Eva and Tony's wedding, because the two were at the airport on their way out yesterday morning. And don't they just look thrilled as usual (though I'm loving her coat)? Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer may have been a bit overshadowed by the other Summer blockbusters, but the Teen Choice Awards committee took notice and nominated Jessica for 3 awards: Hissy Fit, Female Hottie, Action Adventure Actress.
The Real John McCain in Radar — He Likes Lost and Dexter!
Ooh, don't get excited — I'm not insinuating John McCain is a lady, merely that given this awesome interview in Radar this month by Ana Marie Cox (the original Wonkette) that he deserves the space on the cover instead of Shannen Doherty. So I thought I'd just adjust my cover to my liking.
Cox asked McCain all manner of questions with an emphasis on the pop culture that is less fluffy than you'd think.

Lohan Family Drama Heats Up Because Michael Won't Shut Up
Lindsay Lohan took a break from filming Ugly Betty in NYC yesterday to unwind with cigarettes and Samantha in NYC after the massive amount of drama that her father has been fueling in the past couple of days. After LL lashed out at him on her MySpace blog, her father answered back, blaming Dina for his suspicions about Samantha and saying that he's already got a TV special in the works to expose Dina for being a hypocrite. Here's a taste of what he wants to say:
"I've never taken or earned one penny from my daughter.
NBC Fall Season Announced
We are still watching our favorite season finales but we have to switch gears to begin thinking about the networks new fall schedules. NBC announced theirs today and the big news is that both the Matthew Perry and Alec Baldwin have shows about the behind-the-scenes look at a late night program. These are by far the shows I am most interested in checking out.Just Because Wentworth Miller is so HOT
Prison Break is one of the best new shows this season. Even thought the NY Times thinks there are no new TV winners this season they clearly are not watching Prison Break. Just because it does is not have buzz of last years DH and Lost does not mean it's not worthy of some serious recognition.TV Tonight - Let the Premieres Begin!!!
New shows are premiering so get those TiVo's ready. Oprah kicks off the season with Ms Jennifer Aniston and we can't wait to hear this interview. If your on the west cost like me then some affiliates may have moved Oprah into primetime instead since Monday Night Football bumps the afternoon program.
