Separated At Birth: Dustin Hoffman & David Muir
2008-06-06 16:49:00 Yet another vain victim network Tee Vee newsdude bitching about his high-paid gig. "Marathon Man" Men's Vogue: In a shrinking news industry, on-air talent are increasingly called on to do everything ? shoot footage, write a blog, anchor a webcast ? and Muir has embraced multitasking with the enthusiasm of NBC's Brian Williams, to whom he is often compared, and the élan of the late Peter Jennings, whose encouraging words he still carries with him. Like both men, Muir got his start young, as a teen gofer for a local station in Syracuse. While still attending Ithaca College, he both anchored and produced a weekend newscast there, timing segments at the anchor desk with a yellow stopwatch even as he was delivering them ? and then driving 60 miles to meet his buddies for Saturday night's last call. Metrosexual Muir's trials triggered a comparison in my Friday-fried mind between his pedestrian "Marathon Man" ordeals with older version Dustin Hoffman's in 1976's "Marathon Man". I wat...

Kathie Lee's Vain Pain
2008-06-05 15:23:00 Michael Starr NYP: "Today" show host Kathie Lee Gifford says she and hubby Frank Gifford personally felt President Clinton's pain during the Lewinsky era - because he wrote them heartfelt letters describing his agony. "We have letters from Bill Clinton written at the White House that would break your heart. Written to us," Gifford tells the July issue of Ladies Home Journal. "Letters that will never be seen. They're in our safe." And pray they stay there... It's incomprehensible that Bill put his "angst" in writing to media whore Kathie Lee?

MSNBC: Cruella de Bill
2008-05-17 16:03:00 MSNBC, continuing its on-air humping of Bill O'Reilly's f**k-laced rant, went back to the videotape last night with a doctored version where we see the hapless stage hand (I hestitate to bill the guy a producer) handing it back to O'Reilly: Sardonic Rachel Maddow, sitting in for Keith Friday night, is far BETTER than Keith. At least she doesn't have that wacky Howard Beale thing going on... I look forward to the day when MSNBC, secretly owned by Iran, forces Howard/Keith to make good on his on-air suicide threat...

Keith Olbermann: Wooly Bully
2008-05-15 13:52:00 Keith The Sham and the MSNBC Pharaohs did the finest cover of "Network's" Howard Beale's "mad as hell" hit in last night's frenetic "Special Comment." I thought Olbermann was about to stroke out as he pummeled Bush ending with "Shut the hell up!" Take an Effexor before Watching it here at Huff Post What triggered Olbermann? A Wash Post piece yesterday revealing Bush stopped playing golf in August 2003 "in solidarity" with the families of soldiers who were dying in Iraq, concluding that it was "just not worth it anymore" to play the sport in a time of war.Keith produced a smoking gun tape showing Bush golfing in October 2003. Olbermann also gleefully giggled about House Republicans' new slogan: "The Change You Deserve" noting it's the same slogan used by popular antidepressant Effexor. He whipped out the prescription's insert and reeled off the symptoms it treats. Keith's frequent talking head, Wash Post's annoying, prissy Dana Milbank, picked up the ball today. Sam The Sham ...

Olbermann's Big Flack Attack
2008-04-24 13:42:00 Consider the source: Rupert's NYP Page Six. MSNBC talking head Keith Olbermann isn't just a blowhard, he's a hypocrite. After USA Today columnist Lorrie Lynch criticized CNBC anchor Erin Burnett for refusing to do an interview without her flack present, Olbermann named Lynch the "Worst Person in the World" on his nightly show, stating that all public figures are interviewed with "press handlers." Responding this week on her daily "Who's News" blog, Lynch points out that in 2005, Olbermann himself gave her "a lovely interview that was completely handler-free." Lynch told Page Six, "I sent Keith an e-mail to thank him for the mention; I haven't heard back."

NYC's WNYW Ch. 5 teased the audience with "Kelly Clarkson's big secret!" Good hook. Lousy payoff. The "American Idol" star performs sans panties.

NYP NYC sleazebag "King Of All Pimps" Jason Itzler hired Alexandra. After her first date, Itzler claimed, he rewarded her with a $2,000 pair of Manolo Blahniks - the favored footwear of Sarah Jessica Parker's character on "Sex and The City."

One For The Anals
2008-02-06 13:10:00 The s**t's hit the fan for onservative talk show blowhard and political sore loser Rush Limbaugh's obsession with anuses that dates back to an ingrown hairs in his butt crack that got him out of Vietnam (Rush denies it). The NYDN headline: "Rush Limbaugh's A Real Bottom Dweller." Rush bellowed that SC Repub Sen. Lindsay Graham was "close enough to [John McCain]to die of anal poisoning." A source close to Limbaugh says the right-wing gadfly was merely using a "time-honored" synonym for "brown-nosing." But if you Google the term, the only people who seem to be using it are proprietors of porn sites. At least Limbaugh has a friend in Glenn Beck. The younger conservative radio star declined to weigh in on Limbaugh's "anal" expulsion Tuesday, which is probably a good thing, considering he's recovering from hemorrhoid surgery. But Beck was happy to fire a few rounds at their mutual enemy, MSNBC's Keith Olbermann. "[Olbermann] is never brave enough to say his political position on ai...

Classical Gas: Chevron News Network
2007-12-13 15:39:00 CNN steps on its dick by trying to have it both ways; protecting the villain and honoring the hero. CNN isn't very enthusiastic about one of the six "heroes" honored last week on its show, "CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute." Pablo Fajardo of Ecuador was saluted in the "Fighting for Justice" category for his lifelong effort "to force one of the world's largest oil corporations to pay more than $6 billion to clean up toxic waste in the Amazon rain forest." CNN never named Chevron, a big advertiser on CNN, as the oil company. While the CNN Web site has "How to Help" links for all the other "heroes," the link to chevrontoxico.com, the Web site of Fajardo's Amazon Defense Coalition, was removed two days before the show aired. When CNN later reinstated the link, it included Chevron's Web site as well. NYP Page Six

Well her bio isn't up yet on FBN. Poachers! If swearing on the job is therapeutic as all the Tee Vee Talking Heads have blabbed about for two news cycles, I can almost hear &*%^*@!% bouncing off the CNBC walls. That and the hand-wringing over 10-year-olds getting birth control pills behind their parents' backs. They're also swearing at the BBC where 2,500 Tee Vee jobs are vanishing. Guardian IndependentIs "Neutron Jack" consulting the BBC? The septugenarian former head of NBC's parent companey, GE, is starring in testimonal Tee Vee ads for CNBC.

Predictably conservatives like Rush Limbaugh minimize the honor for "a movie" and view the award as a slap against Bush by the liberal Norwegian Nobel Prize major domos. Here's a list of previous winners, including terrorist thug Yasser Arafat (1994) and wussy, verbose moralist Jimmy Carter (2002) going back to 1901!
