Just When You Thought the Emmys Got It Right … the Sad State of the Outstanding Reality-Competition Category
As our own Andy Greenwald noted earlier today, fans of Important Television didn’t have too much to whine about this morning after the 2012 Primetime Emmy nominations were announced — the lists were surprisingly well-balanced, with popular favorites like Modern Family right up there with critical darlings Girls and Louie, and realistically, that’s probably about […]

Here’s your week in ‘ships on HBO’s The Newsroom. Will & Wade Mac asks Will if it’s OK for her boyfriend […]

Living the Hite Life With the Cast of K-Town
“The moment I heard you were a reporter, I said I’m not going to answer one more of your goddamn questions.” Steve Kim may just be another Korean guy at S Bar with a faux-hawk and 400 Twitter followers, but he’s acting the part of entitled reality star remarkably well. We’re at Palm Tree L.A., […]

‘Shipping Newsroom Season 1, Episode 3: ‘The 112th Congress’
Maggie & Don This week The Newsroom turned up the heat with an OMG-worthy makeout sesh between Maggie and Don — the first display of physical intimacy on this series, which was also very, very gross.

‘Shipping Newsroom Season 1, Episode 2: ‘News Night 2.0’
Will & Mac Mackenzie’s nickname could just as easily be Will’s, so I’m sure he gets a double kick out of the “Will + Mac 4 EVR” hearts he has scrawled on the inside of his Trapper Keeper. (It’s been left off this list because, spoiler alert, but Newsroom so totally has a Will/Will endgame.) […]

Grading Celebrity DJs in the Post-Paris Hilton Era
Rembert Browne: The rise of the celebrity DJ is a thing that exists in this world, and if I can be frank, it’s one of the larger scams that exists in an already scam-filled entertainment industry. In spaces across the country (and the world), celebrities are paid big bucks to stand onstage and “DJ,” whatever […]

Today in Casting Stunts: Charlie Sheen Will Be the President of the United States
Charlie Sheen has been doing a pretty admirable job of staying in the public eye post–Tiger Blood era, thanks to a now pretty much entirely ironic career and the host of tireless enablers that keep it trucking along. A “totally random” cameo here, a frank quote about his ex-wife there — in about a year […]

Vincent Kartheiser and Alexis Bledel Found Love in a Plumbing-less Place
Look, not to steal the thunder from our intrepid tabloid expert Molly Lambert, but Us Weekly‘s exclusive on the IRL relationship between Mad Men stars Vincent Kartheiser and Rory Gilmore is one of the most brain-meltingly amazing pieces of writing I’ve read this year, well deserving of its own “Etc.” section.

Nicole Scherzinger Attempts to Resuscitate Her X Factor Dreams in the U.K.
The ongoing game of hot potato that the U.S. and U.K. have been playing with ex-Pussycat Doll/ex-X Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger has reached a shocking conclusion (for now). The Daily Mail reports that the sinewy chanteuse behind such memorable hits as “Baby Love” and “Wet” has been tapped to replace former Destiny’s Child member Kelly […]
