Oprah may be super rich and powerful but she's the biggest douche ever IMO

What a tragic loss it is for america, journalism, and the russert family to have tim russert pass away so young and so suddenly. His son's interview was amazing and it just goes to show how important a father's love can be for a son. God bless Tim russert's soul and may other people try to learn from his amazing journalism and do the same.

Dehydration is the best excuse ever. I think it's the No. 1 celebrity go-to excuse for not showing up to events, being hospitalized, or not performing.

The Incredible Hulk was awesome! Edward Norton does not disappoint. He was a far better Bruce Banner (sorry Eric!)

pop remove the TMZ link. some of the thread on that sight is distinctly racist about snoop doggs wife. snoop dogg is a tool mind

ms winehouse is rapidly exhausting any sympathy i felt for her. turning up drunk to that kinda event, for that much money. she is dragging her talent through the mud which makes me mad and sad. sort it out amy!!

Sara Evans got married already? Didn't she JUST get divorced. Me thinks she rushes stuff.

Kanye is a diva. He's not even good. I don't plan on seeing Hulk even though I love Liv Tyler. They just did a Hulk. No thanks. Why don't celebs get drivers instead of driving drunk? I'll never understand that.

I'm with backfat, the new Hulk movie looks like the last one they did. Haha about Kanye! He does suck. Re: Amy Winehouse - I'm surprised people are still hiring her. But not surprised she showed up drunk.

And Congratulations to Jay and Sara! I read that Cheryl Crow was there also. We from Alabama have been hearing about this wedding for MONTHS!!! Glad it's over.

you know, i'm kind of surprised about hte hulk and kind of not. i didn't care to see it, and saw something else, but i guess it did MUCH better than the version a few years ago. as for amy winehouse - she needs to get her act together. it's impressive to be offered $2Million an hour, and to show up drunk...really? i saw the piece on the Today show nad Luke was VERY WELL SPOKEN - it was really impressive. even if he had help responding to the questions, which i'm not sure he even needed - he was sooo put together. WOW!

That was a beautiful interview with Luke Russert. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family. His father was one of the best!!

I had been waiting for it since I heard Edward Norton was going to play Bruce Banner. I thought "Well, he never does anything wrong, he won't let the director screw my favorite superhero up like Ang Lee did". And I was right. Even Liv Tyler, who is not as good as Jennifer Connely, played Betty Ross better.

Did you all know Pop made Time mag's Top 50 Websites for 2008?

Oh, I loved The Icredible Hulk! It lived to my expectations (more than that actually). I'm going to watch it again (and again, and again...).

Seriously? I hate the idea of this movie, especially since they just made one a few years ago. I think I'm mostly offended that they can't find a way of making him without tons of crappy looking CGI.
