		<description><![CDATA[CSI has really been running on fumes for a while now, driving away William Petersen (although there are rumors of his return) and Gary Dourdan, who played the thinking person’s dream man Warrick Brown.  Evidently, it is no longer the thinking person who interests the creators of CSI.  It is the underoos-tossing, poster-smooching mob of teenage girls who follow The Biebs everywhere he goes.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[But still, the most unlikely and interesting duo is easily Boyle and Gaga.  Would they cover a song together?  Would we hear Susan’s voice belting out the “Rah rah ah ah ah/ Roma roma ma/ Gaga ooh la la” that has become the Lady’s signature?  Or would Gaga work her own rendition of “How Great Thou Art”?  Or, dare we dream a dream that they would write a song together?  And can we get video of their lyric-writing sessions?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The thing is, Ice-T really only has two speeds: sarcastic and really, really enraged.  Pulling him over on one bogus charge and another ridiculous one could have only one possible outcome, and that would be one very ticked off rap legend, who gave the officer’s name and badge number in one of his tweets.  Someone will probably be sitting at a desk for a while until the smoke clears and every gangsta fan of Ice-T (and there are many) forgets about it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Weighing in on this latest political offering is our favorite conservative commentator, Snooki from MTV’s “Jersey Shore”, whom Meghan McCain sought out for an interview.  After confessing to a crush on the seductive Senator, Snooki revealed that “the only reason [she] voted for your father was because he was really cute and [she] liked when he did his speeches.”  It is just that sort of acumen that made Snooki a worthwhile pundit for the fledgling author’s book.  That, and her ability to wear obscenely short skirts and kiss random boys for the viewing pleasure of the many influential interest groups that tune into “Jersey Shore” each week.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first mistress to gain notoriety for her affair with the golfer, Rachel Uchitel, is still cashing in, and with the approval of a most unexpected benefactor: Donald Trump.  The real estate mogul evidently personally called Uchitel to offer her an, ahem, position on the next season of Celebrity Apprentice.   According to TMZ, a spokesperson for The Donald said, “We called Uchitel and asked if she was going to take the offer — and she said, ‘Absolutely.’ We’re pretty confident she’ll excel in business — since she’s already proved she can handle the load.” Poor choice of words, yes, but nonetheless true.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although her previous lawyer maintained that Lindsay was “substantially in compliance” with the terms of her probation, the judge seems to be as moved by this as, well, just about anyone with common sense.  When you get pulled over for DUI a few times and every LA cop has knows how many freckles you have, “full compliance” is probably the way to go.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If Gavin Rossdale was sleeping with Courtney Love, I can’t imagine that Gwen would let him touch her with a ten-foot anything.  But Love insists that the pair was very close during the height of their fame, and that she even considered marrying him.  Well, he would have had to ask first, and, as we all know, it was Gwen who got the diamond-studded engagement ring.  The story seems unlikely, especially when she reveals that she needed to end the relationship because everyone was saying that the Bush frontman sounded exactly like Kurt Cobain.  As anyone alive in the 1990s can tell you, it was not difficult to tell the difference.  Apples and oranges.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[And, true to Real Housewives history, public humiliation is still public, and that’s good enough.  Hence, a song called “Money Can’t Buy You Class”, by Countess Luann.  That’s the name she’s chosen for her career as a recording artist, maybe because it sounds so, um, classy.  The song, on the other hand, no matter how intense the use of Auto-Tune (Jay-Z, where are you when we need you?) is still beyond awful.  When Luann actually did any singing, her voice was carefully distorted to sound like something less in the neighborhood of tone-deaf.  Most of the track is more spoken word, like something she could perform at a poetry slam that doesn’t have very high standards.  I’m sure she was going for Madonna’s “Vogue” (Greta Garbo and Monroe/ Dietrich and DiMaggio/ Marlon Brando, Jimmy Dean/ On the cover of a magazine), but managed to fall short by a unit of measure not yet defined by science. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[But it was none of those things.  The real issue became abundantly clear when E! began airing Leave It to Lamas, a reality TV show a la Keeping Up with the Kardashians, only with—believe it or not—more complaining.  Leave It to Lamas capitalizes on the still-famous surname, although Lorenzo himself does not appear in every episode.  Shayne does, though.  As does her brother AJ, who has some difficulties living up to the tremendous legacy of his father, who was trying in one episode to pass out autographed photos of himself by saying his own name and mentioning the show Renegade.  And then there’s Shayne’s mother, Michele Smith, who appears to be intoxicated every time she’s on camera.  The true star of the show is the incessant whining of young Shayne.  Even while wearing stripper heels and drag queen-style makeup, she speaks in the voice of a very dissatisfied 5 year-old.  Perhaps the voice is a nod to the Kardashian girls and Paris Hilton, who also speak like children.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On her new show, Milano plays a recently-divorced mother of a 16 year-old girl.  This is like kryptonite to the libidos of the men who are still in love with the 1980s, vintage Alyssa.  But she is determined to have another go at sitcom fame.  She has a younger sister on the show who thinks that promiscuity is the way to go.  Then there are two male friends in the mix.  It’s your basic sitcom platform with different actors thrown in.  And it runs a high risk of turning the men who are still melting all over at the sight of her into guys who think of her as another married chick in her 30s.]]></description>
