My Boys “The Transitioning”

June 13, 2008 StayTuned Staff

Last season left us with a cliffhanger: Who got on the plane with PJ!? The cute baseball player Matt? The cute globe-trotting reporter Thorn? The cute botanist Evan? Or maybe just one of the guys? Dum Dum Dummmmm (drumroll please) And the mystery man is… Bobby!! Of course. It all makes sense. PJ’s seat was upgraded to first class! And it was revealed last season that Bobby is incredibly wealthy! His family even owns a villa in Florence. As far as travel companions go, Bobby definitely had the most to offer. And romance? There has been potential between PJ and […]

Swingtown Revisits Seventies Sexism

June 13, 2008 StayTuned Staff

By Elaine B Sometime in the mid ’70s, I listened as a pair of bus drivers exchanged ideas about the philosophies of Kant and Camus. It occurred to me that these guys have a job in which they use a bit of brawn (managing a seventies-something bus was not easy) and about half a brain, leaving the other half for deep thoughts. As a budding novelist, it seemed like a great career change. So, armed with the new sexual non-discrimination laws, I went off to the Milwaukee Transit Company’s employment office and applied. The interviewer took one look at my […]

ESPN's "TitleTown USA" Even Worse Than Expected

June 12, 2008 Ryan Berenz

Posted by Cubicle QB Remember ESPN’s SportsCenter “Who’s Now?” thing from last summer? This summer, they managed to find something even dumber than that to fill airtime: “TitleTown USA.” People have been nominating cities on ESPN.com for the honor of being the best sports town in the nation. Six finalists have been revealed, with 14 still left to go between now and June 27. The remaining finalists will be named each weekday on the 6pm ET edition of SportsCenter. As part of “TitleTown USA,” SportsCenter will embark on a 20-city tour beginning in Green Bay, Wisc., on July 4 and […]

Denise Richards Shares Her “Complicated” Reality

June 11, 2008 StayTuned Staff

You might think you know Denise Richards, but she would beg to differ. While her film resume includes memorable turns as a sex-crazed femme fatale in Wild Things and a hot-pants-clad nuclear physicist in The World Is Not Enough, she’s more famous lately for her messy divorce from Charlie Sheen. The custody battle over the couple’s two daughters — Sam, 4, and Lola, 2 — has reached epic levels of public nastiness, with the accusations and name-calling from both sides becoming tabloid staples. Most recently, Sheen went to court to try to block Richards from starring in her own reality […]

Swingtown Promises Summer Sizzle

June 6, 2008 StayTuned Staff

One of the very first things Alice found when she fell down the rabbit hole in Lewis Carroll’s famous novel was a bottle that said simply, “Drink me.” Alice immediately looked for a warning, some sign that what was inside was not poison. Finding none, she tasted and, seduced by the exotic blend of scents and sweetness, finished it off. Cautious people would say that she was a fool, but I was part of the “Drink me” generation – indeed, “Drink this” was the beginning line of many a great weekend party while I was in college – and the […]

Bill Engvall Puts Comedy In A Family Way

June 3, 2008 StayTuned Staff

Go ahead and call Bill Engvall middle of the road. That’s exactly where he’s aiming. He’s ridden his clean-as-a-whistle standup routine to glory as part of the megasuccessful Blue Collar Comedy Tour — where he pals around with fellow down-home funnymen Jeff Foxworthy, Ron White and Larry the Cable Guy — and now stars in his own TBS sitcom The Bill Engvall Show. The show’s second season begins June 12. The Galveston, Texas, born comic is trying to emulate the family-friendly shows he has always loved, the kind of traditional three-camera laughfest that used to dominate the airwaves but people […]

More Stale Popcorn at the 2008 MTV Movie Awards?

June 2, 2008 Channel Guide Contributor

Posted by johnnysweeptheleg When I was in high school, I looked forward to the MTV Movie Awards more than the Oscars. Where else would Jason Voorhees receive the Lifetime Achievement Award? Or Alicia Silverstone take home two awards for The Crush? Yeah, remember that one? The acceptance speeches were always legendary, as well. Lest you forget Jim Carrey’s long-haired, bearded acceptance speech from ’99. I will never forget Keri Russell’s reaction when the bearded one fessed up to a lot of fine looking … well, if you saw it, you remember it. But the last few years have seen underwhelming […]

Isabella Rossellini Gets “Buzzy” In A New Project About The Sex Lives Of Insects, Arachnids And Annelids

June 1, 2008 StayTuned Staff

She’s a representative of the Italian fashion industry. The child of screen legends Ingrid Bergman and Roberto Rossellini, she’s been in touch with the glamorous life since birth. So what is Isabella Rossellini doing feigning sex with bugs while dressed up as one? Being hilarious, for starters. Rossellini is the brains behind a new series of Sundance Channel film shorts called Green Porno. The project stemmed from a request made by the network for her to produce something with an “environmental” theme. She chose the freaky ways bugs get freaky. “My love for animals is the one thing that has […]
