    Who's Tucker Max Blaming For His Movie's Failure Now?

    Oh, Tucker Max: he gave sleazy Encyclopedia Brotanica-eque website AskMen.com an interview. Given the chance to speak freely, he starts his egomanical blame game all over again. This time, blame: Middle America, The Man, His Artistry, and His Producers. Awesome! More »

    Oprah: 25 Years Of Screaming Celebrities' Names

    Television will never be the same after Oprah goes off the air in 2011. If we had a "Favorite Things" list about O, in the top spot would be the way the talk-show host introduces celebrity guests. Mashup at left. [Jezebel]

    Nicolas Cage: The Worst Actor of His Generation

    Nicolas Cage is completely broke. One theory is that he spent money more frivolously than the people who paid to see Wicker Man in theaters. Our theory at Gawker.TV is that he is the worst actor ever. Here's proof. [Gawker.TV]

    Glee: Don't Stand So Close to Us

    It's a testament to the power of this show that it manages to be great even with an hour that is inundated with slow, sappy songs. We weren't into the inspirational music, but Glee is still our endless love. More »

    Hollywood Writers: Yep, We're Still Mostly White Guys

    The Hills: Later, The Same Day...

    Nothing ever seems to happen on The Hills, yet the plot still progresses. It's like another masterpiece of serialized fiction: Apartment 3G. Ever wonder what this show would look like as a comic strip? More »
