We had many alternate titles to this post, which is actually more fun than the story itself:

• Tara Re-Hab (obvious one, but it made us giggle)
• I Woke Up Early The Day I Went To Rehab (check her IMDB, it’s subtle)
• Tara Reid… We Don’t Care
• Tara Reid in “Clean Break”
• Tara Reid Is Not Dead, Although It’s Pretty Close
• ‘Ol Raspy Voice Asks Someone To Teach Her Not To Drink and Smoke

Unfortunately for Rosie, who’s show tied the lowest rated show of the night (Pushing Daisies who’s fans are jumping ship since being cancelled) didn’t pull in a big audience as hoped with top notch acts like… well, none. There were however Alec Baldwin, Harry Connick Jr. and Liza Minnelli.

Rosie forgot to ask for comedians to come onto the show. O’Donnell, who used to be a comedian at one point (just before filming Exit to Eden and Another Stakeout) should have known better to have better talent on a “variety” show. Without digging too deep into the idea, the cast did not include those with “range” or ability to commit to the idea of “variety”.

Regardless of lack-of-skills, nobody likes variety shows anymore and Rosie should just go back to cursing white-bred blond conservatives on morning talkers.

1. We’ve launched a new site, and we don’t like this one anymore — www.wtdnyc.com
2. We’ve been playing with Netflix and NXE on X-Box 360 (seriously, tons of all the movies we want to watch including An Evening with Kevin Smith 1 and 2)
3. Some of us (Caitlin) have been writing for other sites, screenplays and are otherwise drunk
4. Some of us have new jobs that actually make us money and we are too busy to write articles about pop-culture
5. Thanksgiving
6. We’re lazy

So, as we move toward the holiday season just know that we all hate you.

We’re also working on our issues and hope to start posting new articles again shortly.

REPOST — we posted this back in July when it wasn’t relevant. Now, it’s time to actually be interested in the latest James Bond sequel:

The 007/Bond franchise hit the reset button with Casino Royale, starting from the beginning of the original series. Thankfully, only Judi Dench made the jump to the revamp. The most notable part of the reset has been watching a more vulnerable James Bond. If you’ve jumped head first into this new series, your mouth may be watering for November’s Quantum of Solace. Well, to quench your thirst, we present some first look footage.

So, since the economy is terrible, I don’t have money to go see movies or do anything else that I might be inclined to write about, so I’m just gonna complain a little bit.  I can’t get a job because everyone has a hiring freeze.  BARF.  O-face, I can’t wait for you to change/fix everything, so I can get back to going to the movies and writing marvelous, compelling, groundbreaking, insightful, jaw-inspiring, awe-dropping reviews about them.

Throughout this campaign, I have been the underdog and the unpopular among my LiveEffect staff as the one who wanted to vote for McCain. I took pride in being a registered Democrat. I was heavily behind Bill Clinton and Al Gore. I blindly voted for John Kerry during our last presidential election. I didn’t know much about him, he just wasn’t George W. Bush. To me, not being George W. Bush was enough for me.

This time around, I took notice that the campaign was listed as “Vote for Change”, not “Vote for Obama”. Standing being the word “Change” and “Not George W. Bush” was Barack Obama. I made attempts to find out what he believed in and what he stood for. Personally, I didn’t agree and decided to change my vote to John McCain.

So, if you voted for Barack Obama, why was it? Was it because you agreed with his policies, just for “change”, “not McCain” or because he’s black?

Pepsi has decided that it’s time for a logo redesign.

The woman, who is jailed on suspicion of illegally accessing a computer and manipulating electronic data, used his identification and password to log onto popular interactive game “Maple Story” to carry out the virtual murder in mid-May, a police official in northern Sapporo said on condition of anonymity, citing department policy.

“I was suddenly divorced, without a word of warning. That made me so angry,” the official quoted her as telling investigators and admitting the allegations.

The woman had not plotted any revenge in the real world, the official said.

She has not yet been formally charged, but if convicted could face a prison term of up to five years or a fine up to $5,000.

Players in “Maple Story” raise and manipulate digital images called “avatars” that represent themselves, while engaging in relationships, social activities and fighting against monsters and other obstacles.

The woman used login information she got from the 33-year-old office worker when their characters were happily married, and killed the character. The man complained to police when he discovered that his beloved online avatar was dead.

After Sarah Palin decided to hit Saturday Night Live head-on, critics claim that it still may have hurt her image. Embrassing the stereotype created by Tina Fey, the campaign seems to have collapsed.

Ironically, days after this TV landmark, which was SNL’s biggest ratings in over a decade, the same network released a poll showing that the republican campaign is dying.

Along with the other networks, NBC seems to be calling the election - shy of showing an image of Obama with a caption “President Elect”, all the major networks seem to be calling the race in mid-October.

Sony Pictures TV is set to produce the pilot.
