Gawker's Nick Denton Explains Why Invasion of Privacy is Positive for Society
21 May 2013 7:08 PM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »

Since then, he has been at the center of several legal battles with celebrities looking to protect secrets. The network of Gawker sites have become celebrated for its scoops, most recently uncovering Manti Te'o's fake girlfriend and Toronto mayor Rob Ford smoking crack cocaine. Denton has also overseen many high-profile battles with stars including John Travolta, Hulk Hogan and Sarah Palin. His digital empire now attracts tens of millions of readers monthly. Denton will

Peabody Awards Honors TV At Its Best
19 May 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
Thirty-nine recipients of the 72nd Annual Peabody Awards will be honored May 20 at the Waldorf-Astoria in Gotham. The Peabodys, bestowed by the U. of Georgia’s Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication, cite the best in electronic media. Herewith are a few of the projects and people being honored.
The Smithsonian Channel’s “Mlk: The Assassination Tapes” couldn’t have been made if professors at Memphis State U., back in 1968, didn’t have the foresight to preserve the historic TV, radio and police-report tapes regarding the Martin Luther King assassination. Typically, those tapes were reused and hence lost.
“It was extraordinary to find this treasure trove,” says David Royle, exec VP of programming and production at the Smithsonian Channel. Equally extraordinary, filmmaker Tom Jennings “crafts a film from these tapes that is entirely dramatic and immediate, taking the reality that existed at the time and infusing it with drama and intensity. »

Julianne Moore Opens Up About Playing A Divorced Mom
16 May 2013 12:44 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Cannes, France -- Julianne Moore sometimes identifies with the characters she plays but when it came to playing a bad mother in "What Maisie Knew," she couldn't relate.
In the recently released film, Moore portrays a rock-star mom going through a bitter divorce who's having trouble connecting to her 6-year-old daughter, Maisie.
The role couldn't have been farther from her heart. Moore, who has a 15-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter, said motherhood was something that came easily for her and a role she always craved since she was a little girl.
"I thought, `I don't know if I will get married, but I do want to have children,'" Moore said in an interview on the opening day of the Cannes Film Festival. "I said, `I'm going to have a boy and a girl.' You know, all those ridiculous fantasies that you have when you're 10 years old – for me, »

Sarah Palin: ‘Same Corrupt IRS’ That Targeted Conservatives ‘Will Be In Charge Of Enforcing Obamacare’
11 May 2013 9:58 AM, PDT | Mediaite - TV | See recent Mediaite - TV news »
Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin blasted President Barack Obama and the federal government on her Facebook page on Friday over the acknowledgement by the Internal Revenue Service that they had intentionally singled out conservative groups for added scrutiny during the 2012 election cycle. "I'm sure President Obama is grateful for all the help the IRS gave his reelection campaign, but, still, you have to wonder how the bureaucrats who tried to pull this off can sleep at night," Palin wrote. »

John McCain Wants to Lower Your Cable Bill
9 May 2013 12:15 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
John McCain seems to be working hard as of late to make up for that whole Sarah Palin business: He backed the Manchin-Toomey background check legislation, he's part of the Gang of Eight supporting immigration reform, and now he's fashioning himself the savior of cable customers fed up with ever-increasing bills. Today, the Senator Formerly Known As Maverick introduced the Television Consumer Freedom Act, a new twist on something McCain has long supported: forcing cable companies to stop "bundling" TV networks in a group, requiring fans of Lifetime and AMC to also subscribe to Espn and Disney, even if they're childless and hate sports. The cable industry calls this "bundling," and executives have long said it's a necessary evil to ensure a broad range of cable channels and to keep overall bills lower. What McCain's legislation would encourage is a so-called "à la carte" option, where cable (and satellite) subscribers »

Megyn Kelly's Fox News Google Glass demo puts 'American Pie' curse on-air

Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com
Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly inadvertently broadcast a curse word in the midst of performing an on-air Google Glass demonstration.
Kelly was trying to find out how to say "hot dog" in German -- maybe not the safest on-air search idea if we're all being honest -- and up popped a quote from the 1999 comedy "American Pie."
"You realize we're all going to go to college as virgins," the quote from Jason Biggs' character begins, before explaining about women: "You ask them questions and listen to what they have to say and s***."
Kelly came back at the end of the broadcast to apologize for the accidental obscenity. She also brought up a split-frame of herself in the Google Glasses with Sarah Palin in her regular old glasses, before tossing to "Studio B" host Shepard Smith.

Jon Stewart opened Monday night's edition of The Daily Show by looking back at the weekend's NRA convention and its not-so-singular focus on guns. With Ted Cruz, Rick Santorum, Sarah Palin and others in attendance, Stewart realized, "this is the same lineup, with the same laundry list of conservative grievances, that we saw at Cpac a month and a half ago." »

Watch: Palin Quotes Shakespeare, Threatens To Chew Tobacco During Lively NRA Convention Speech

Taking the stage in a t-shirt that read "Women Hunt" in pink lettering, Sarah Palin riled up the crowd at today's NRA convention in Houston, Texas. Palin spoke for more than 12 minutes about her strong defense of the Second Amendment and other conservative principles. She even attempted to recreate her popular "Big Gulp" moment from her Cpac speech earlier this year by pulling out a tin of chewing tobacco and threatening to "dip" on stage. »

Uh Oh, Netflix Really Pissed off the Sarah Palin Army
2 May 2013 8:36 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Boy does Sarah Palin's fan base know how to sock it to ya. Yes siree. You betcha.
Yesterday, Netflix — while pretty much side-stepping the matter of losing thousands of movies from its streaming service — decided to have a little fun on the Twitterverse with a burgeoning hashtag. In the process, they inadvertently (we think?) pegged her as a Nazi, and summoned up the mighty web wrath of the former Alaskan governor's faithful flock.
Whoops.
In a nutshell, someone made #SarahPalinFilms a thing despite the fact that there's like one movie about her, and Netflix chimed in with this "Iron Sky" promo:
#SarahPalinFilms "Iron Sky" nflx.it/11AZvLRtwitter.com/netflix/status…
— Netflix Us (@netflix) May 1, 2013
Some were amused and took the reference at face (i.e., the fact that the character does look like her) value, but others saw a deeper meaning to the jibe based on the "Iron Sky" movie's innate political commentary. »

The Education of Julianne Moore and Michael Angarano
1 May 2013 9:44 AM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
There's something about Julianne Moore and glasses that just speaks to casting directors. The actress was transformed into Sarah Palin by a pair of rimless, rectangular frames, winning an Emmy for her work in Game Change. A year later, she's behind a large, old school pair of specs for her role in The English Teacher, in which she plays Linda Sinclair, a character polar opposite of the former Alaskan governor: a well-read, spotlight-shunning educator with an aversion to the dramatic. A perpetually single bookworm and future cat lady, Linda's world is flipped when a former student (Michael Angarano)

Martin Bashir Slams ‘Nonentity’ Sarah Palin’s ‘Assclown’ Remarks, Recommends Her For NRA Post
30 April 2013 8:42 AM, PDT | Mediaite - TV | See recent Mediaite - TV news »
Former Alaska Governor and Nuclear Football Near-Miss Sarah Palin joined the predictable chorus of bitter White House Correspondents' Dinner non-invitees Saturday night by tweeting her ass-heavy misgivings about the event, inviting an even more predictable revelation of her own hypocrisy. On Monday's Martin Bashir show, host Martin Bashir pointed out that Palin had smeared her own kin with assclownery, but also added a bit of canny career advice for the fading pit bull. »

Sarah Palin's 'nerd prom' tweet 'jabs' at White House Correspondents' Dinner
29 April 2013 8:16 AM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
Sarah Palin wants it known that she doesn't hold with frivolous functions like the White House Correspondents' Dinner. The former governor of Alaska took to Twitter and Facebook over the weekend to express her displeasure over the annual event.
Palin writes on Facebook, "Yuk it up media and pols. While America is buried in taxes and a fight for our (sic) rights, the permanent political class in DC dresses up and has a prom to make fun of themselves. No need for that, we get the real joke."
She adds on Twitter, "That #Whcd was pathetic. The rest of America is out there working our a**es off while these DC a**clowns throw themselves a #nerdprom."
First off -- since her beef seems to be with holding one now -- while America is out there working and fighting for its rights -- did she have a problem with holding »

'The Bible' On The Big Screen Is The Week's Biggest News
26 April 2013 12:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
By Amelia Mularz
Nope, Mel Gibson's not involved. This one's all Mark Burnett, the producer who's partly to blame for giving Donald Trump his own show ("The Apprentice"), as well as Sarah Palin ("Sarah Palin's Alaska"), and his wife Roma Downey of "Touched by an Angel" fame. They're taking their 10-part TV miniseries for the History Channel and re-cutting it into a three-hour movie to be released this fall.
That means you'll be able to enjoy the story of Jesus and his resurrection the way God truly intended: with your feet resting on a Mountain Dew-saturated floor while clutching a box of Goobers. Plus, while heading to church can be a hassle (c'mon Sunday is for football!), Burnett's movie will give you a reasonable dose of the biblical for a measly $10-$14 "donation" to your nearest corporately operated, mass movie theater chain.
Then again, Burnett says they haven't settled »

23 April 2013 11:52 AM, PDT | HollywoodLife | See recent HollywoodLife news »
The hacker group that posted the financial information of Michelle Obama and other celebs just threatened to bomb the White House within the next 24 hours, unless President Obama declares war on North Korea.
President Barack Obama just goes from one crisis to another. The President has reportedly been threatened by the hacker group and they are taking it very seriously.
White House Bomb Threat
The hackers are the same people who published the private financial records of Michelle Obama, Donald Trump, Sarah Palin, and others. According to TMZ, the hackers called 911 and threatened to detonate 8 “devices” around the White House. The only way they won’t do it, is if President Obama declares war on North Korea.
This same group, is responsible for swatting Rihanna, Diddy, Ryan Seacrest, Justin Timberlake, Paris Hilton, Chris Brown and others.

Hadley Freeman's 10 awesome women: from Katharine Hepburn to Miss Piggy

They're funny and passionate. One of them can even rock a pastel pantsuit. Hadley Freeman hails her female heroes whose accomplishments deserve some serious respect
These days, White is mainly known for two things: 1. Being old, and 2. Being funny about it. But there is so much more to her than geriatric self-mockery. Aside from her brilliant performances on The Golden Girls and The Mary Tyler Moore Show, White was one of the first women to take control of her own acting career by co-founding a TV production company in the 1950s. She was also nominated for the first best-actress Emmy in 1950, and her book about this period of her life, Here We Go Again: My Life in Television, is as funny as it is inspirational. Still sharp as a tack in her 10th decade, she is not only a hilarious actor but a hysterical off-the-cuff guest on American talk shows, »

Ted Nuget To NRA Host: Would You Help Me Shoot Somebody?
10 April 2013 11:08 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Ted Nugent, the controversial rocker-turned-gun rights advocate, is quite the fan of violent rhetoric, as was evident again this week during an interview on the NRA News program "Cam & Co."
Throughout the course of an interview loosely focused on the latest Congressional gun control efforts, Nugent riffed on several of his common talking points, including his disapproval of President Barack Obama and his distrust of any form of gun control legislation.
Show host Cam Edwards helped fan the flames, suggesting that the version of universal background checks legislation being debated in the Senate is essentially “the Ban Ted Nugent Act of 2013" and could lead to felony convictions for using a borrowed gun.
"It's time to take a side," Nugent said, referring to moderates.
Nugent also reminded Edwards of comments he made in April of 2012, when he vowed to "either be dead or in jail by this time next year" if Obama was reelected. »
