The Office: “Job Fair” Recap

May 9, 2008 StayTuned Staff

Posted by Mike, Ryan and johnnysweeptheleg The last time The Office visited a high school, Andy recognized one of the students as his girlfriend. With that as a precedent, why wouldn’t they go back? This time, Michael is visiting Valley View High School to recruit some new interns. And he’d better be careful — the way things work at Dunder Mifflin, one of them could be his boss next season. He brings along Oscar to talk about accounting, Darryl to hire some warehouse staff, and Pam — a former Valley View student — as the “eye candy.”

Dispatch From The Deadspin Book Tour

May 9, 2008 Ryan Berenz

Posted by Ryan Will Leitch, editor of popular sports blog Deadspin, was in Milwaukee last night for a talk on his book God Save the Fan. You might have recently seen Leitch on HBO’s Costas Now for a discussion of sports blogs with Bob Costas, author Buzz Bissinger (Friday Night Lights) and Cleveland Browns WR Braylon Edwards. We use “discussion” here loosely, as the segment basically devolved into Bissinger ranting against Leitch and other bloggers’ “journalistic dishonesty” and general coarsening of the culture. Anyway, Leitch talked and answered questions for an hour, touching on the book, Deadspin and the changing […]

Getting Lost: “Cabin Fever” Review

May 9, 2008 StayTuned Staff

Posted by Mike and johnnysweeptheleg What did we learn from last night’s episode of Lost? Well, for one thing, this cat Keamy is a bad mother — sorry, I was talkin’ about Shaft. But Keamy is not one to be trifled with. Or to be in close proximity to. Just ask the doctor. We also saw Ben reduced to sharing a candy bar with Hurley on the sidelines while Locke sought answers from Jacob. It sucks not to be the Island’s chosen one anymore, doesn’t it, Ben? And we also learned that Richard Alpert is a man with a plan […]

Survivor: Fans vs. Favorites, Week 13: Four Crazy, Sexy Women vs. The Ice Cream Boy

May 8, 2008 Jill Klitz

When I first saw this episode, I was left dumbstruck. Incredulous. The blood drained from my face. What those women did to that poor boy Erik was disturbing. Horrific. But after watching it again, those last 15 minutes of the show were beautiful. Poetic. It was like watching masters at work. They spun their words and twisted Erik’s mind as if his thoughts and emotions were tangible threads that could be woven however the women chose. The women worked so well together, and each played their part flawlessly. They were the Harlem Globetrotters of Survivor backstabbery.

The Hook Yanks Another Off American Idol

May 7, 2008 Ruth Boulet

We begin tonight with the Idols singing ‘Reelin’ In The Years.’ I know it’s a ‘classic’ and all, but man, does it go against the whole ‘make it modern’ thing the contestants are constantly told to do. There’s just no way to make that song modern or current. Sorry, American Idol. We get a long recap of last night’s show, because we need to fill time. This gives me time to look at Vote For The Worst, and since I’m in the Pacific Time Zone, I already know who’s gone. I’ll wait until the end of my recap to spill […]

ANTM Is Nearing The Answer To The Question

May 7, 2008 Ruth Boulet

by WindUpDoll I’m coming in to this late kids. Sorry about that. I’ll adjust the recap on Sunday when they repeat the episode. So the girls have to play photographer. Anya needs to reign in her energy. Are we surprised? Whitney gets good feedback. Paulina thought Anya was the most fun, but the least focused. Fatima had a lot of variety. Dominique’s composition wasn’t there. Paulina had a lot of cactus hats. Fatima ends up winning the challenge, and it’s her first one.

Step It Up and Dance: Damn Yankees

May 7, 2008 StayTuned Staff

The Challenge This week’s challenge is Musical Theater. Some of the dancers are feeling pretty good about their chances to win this week. Cody and Mochi have both performed on Broadway. Oscar has appeared in many productions throughout Europe. Others without as much technical training are worried. Janelle and Michael are out of their element. Miguel has immunity from last week and cannot be eliminated, so he could care less about this challenge. Jason Alexander is the celebrity guest this week. He introduces the challenge, an audition piece from his production of Damn Yankees. In real life, George Costanza seems […]

Denis Leary Talks About Putting Out Fires

May 7, 2008 Lori Acken

Denis Leary loves “The Business,” the Big Apple and his family and friends. And that’s about all you need to know to determine how he likes to spend his days. “It’s hard to get me to go to work, in some regards,” the multitalented movie, television and comedy-circuit star chuckles during a phone interview from the set of his F/X hit, Rescue Me. “I produce a lot of my own stuff, and I write and star in this TV show which I do here in New York, and the only movies I’ve done — with very few exceptions — I’ve […]

American Idol Makes It To The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame

May 6, 2008 Ruth Boulet

This week’s theme is Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Ryan tells us all about the history of the Hall of Fame and why it’s all important and stuff. It’s like a slide show that automatically moves forward with the ‘ding’ on the cassette tape. Not all that interesting, American Idol. We’re getting started with David Cook. David Cook — Hungry Like the Wolf Ok, first off, David Cook needs to back off the Duran Duran. Seriously. He is not Simon LeBon. Even in his puffier days. And he most certainly isn’t Nigel John Taylor. Not even close dude, not […]

One Tree Hill: The Slippery Slope Continues 16

May 6, 2008 StayTuned Staff

Posted by: haro1d Royal Tenenbaum once said, “I’m dying, Etheline. I’m sick as a dog. I’ll be dead in six weeks.” Or something like that. This week OTH delved deeply into the “Dan is dying” issue. But before we get into that, an update on what else went down in Tree Hill: Peyton tried to convince Lindsey that Lucas only has eyes for her (Lindsey, that is). Lindsey subsequently tried to convince Peyton to read Lucas’ new manuscript, giving it to her without Lucas’ consent and in the process violating virtually every sacrosanct moral/ethical law for publishers, not to mention […]
