Chris Pine was on Jimmy Kimmel Live yesterday and he told the ABC late night host that he when he was a preteen he wrote to Premiere Magazine asking for Buffy the Vampire Diaries’ Kristy Swanson’s phone number. The mag published his letter, but never gave him the digits. The future actor had a huge crush on her when he was just 12 and now almost 20 years later Kimmel finally connected the two via the phone on his show during the interview. Even though the young Captain Kirk can have his pick of the ladies, he couldn’t stop blushing over the concept of talking to the woman that got him through JHS. How awwwdorable was that interaction? It makes me want to pine for those blue eyes even more.
Billy Gardell was on The Tonight Show yesterday and Jay Leno asked about his co-star Melissa McCarthy being nominated for and Oscar. He said that she hasn’t changed and is so proud that in the last year she stars on a hit sitcom, became an Emmy winner and an Oscar nominee.
Even though he is happy for her, on his way home the day she was nominated for the Academy Award he thought to himself that if she won that he’ll “officially be like that guy who worked with Tom Hanks on Bosom Buddies. They’re going to go ‘Remember Mike and Molly with Melissa McCarthy? What the hell was that other guy? What’s his name?'”
His name is Peter Scolari, and I am sorry to tell you Billy, that you are no him. After Bosom Buddies he went on to star in Newhart and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, and I do not see you following in his footsteps. That and I do not see McCarthy winning the Oscar for Bridesmaids, since she already won the Emmy for it.
Now don’t get me wrong I like Billy Gardell, I just don’t like that he dissed Scolari for no reason at all. I know Scolari’s name now and I will know it twenty years from now, and I hate to say but I don’t think I can say the same about that guy from Mike and Molly. What’s his name again?

Robert Pattinson is at the Berlin International Film Festival promoting Bel Ami and he used his face to be very expressive with the press. Ar first I wasn’t sure what to make of the Twilight actor shaving off his trademark hair, but then I realized the cropped do shows off his beautiful eyes. Although he needs to give up winking because he hasn’t mastered that quite yet.
Joan Rivers has no problem making fun of celebrities, but yesterday when she was on The Late Show with David Letterman she hit the below belt with her jokes. First she went off on Goldie Hawn and said “Goldie has allegedly been pulled so tight, they say, ‘when she swallows she has an orgasm'” Unlike Joan who has been pulled so tight when she scratches her head her feet itch. Then she made an unfunny joke about Joan Collins that isn’t even worth repeating.
Finally she went after Betty White saying that the only reason her career had a resurgence is because she is known in the business as “Bendover Betty”. Really why go there? If Betty and Joan battled it out on a roast the Golden Girl would easily win. When it comes to funny Betty knows how to do it better.
BTW it seems I am not the only one who didn’t find the jokes funny because Letterman didn’t appear to like them either.
Simon Cowell is preparing for the second season of The X Factor yesterday and he Tweeted an idea I am totally down with. The King of Mean said, “Maybe the winner of @TheXFactorUSA this yr should compete with winner of The Voice & Idol in a super final. Just a thought. I’d be up for it” Throw in America’s Got Talent, Nashville Star, The Sing-Off and whatever other singing show I am forgetting about and I would totally watch. Especially if the three male coaches from The Voice (Blake Shelton, Adam Levine and CeeLo Green) were joined by Cowell on the judging panel and Ryan Seacrest hosted the show. Seriously it could air the last week May sweeps and it would get killer ratings.
The only person who is against it, is Nigel Lythgoe who Tweeted, “@simoncowell suggests the IDOL winner should take on the voice and x-factor winners. The problem is the Idol winner will be a star by then.” Yeah just like the person who won last year and the year before that and the year before that stop when you get to Carrie Underwood who was the last true star to come from Fox’s first singing competition. He then went on to say the show put out more stars than any other reality show. That is because it has been on the longest. I guess Nigel is blinded by the light of reality reflecting off of his huge capped teeth.
