The Film
Tom Green's studio directorial debut, the infamous Freddy Got Fingered (2001) is a film I've wanted to redeem even since I began writing for Pajiba in 2009. I acknowledge that the task ahead of me is Sisyphean, as the film boasts an 11% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes (7% if limited to "Top Critics"). Yet, the film does have its share of eloquent defenders, most notably A.O. Scott's thoughtful analysis in The New York Times and Nathan Rabin's dissection for The Av Club's series, "My Year of Flops." I've been ambivalent to write this piece because of intimidation. Not an intimidation of the film or my own affection towards it (and whatever wild eyed, gasps of disbelief it may produce) but because, quite simply, Scott and Rabin are far greater writers than I and I felt that my contribution would merely be the equivalent of whipping a dead horse. Well,...

At some point we all suffer moments so painfully uncomfortable that we wish we could bore into our brains and suck out the memory with a shop-vac. But at least the cameras aren’t rolling when ours happen, unlike these unfortunate celebs. While memories may fade, video clips never do. That’s bad luck for them, but endlessly amusing for the rest of us. Last Friday night The Short List train barreled on with the 10 Most Awkward Celebrity Moments. There were so many to choose from that we decided to chime in with a just-as-short-list of our own. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll cringe, and for once you’ll be glad you’re not to be rich and famous. See if your favorite moment made the cut! [Photo: Getty and WENN Images] 10.

NEW YORK -- MTV has pulled the plug on its late-night series The New Tom Green Show. Declining ratings were cited in the decision for the cancellation, MTV said. "In spite of critical acclaim, The New Tom Green Show was unfortunately unable to sustain the initial rating success it enjoyed in its earlier weeks," the network said in a statement. "Tom remains a part of the MTV family, and we look forward to working with him in the future." Green premiered to strong numbers in June, drawing nearly 900,000 viewers per night in its weekdays at midnight slot. But by September, the series' ratings had dwindled to nearly one-third of its opening numbers.
