Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Comedy Central has picked up "The Showbiz Show With David Spade" for a third season. Additionally, Spade has joined the cast of CBS’ midseason comedy series "Rules of Engagement." Comedy Central has ordered 13 new episodes of "Showbiz Show." The half-hour weekly comedic parody of the entertainment industry is slated to launch its third season in February. Spade said he was "stoked" to be back for a third season. "I want to get back on the air as quickly as possible so that we don’t miss out," he said. "There is too much good stuff going on right now in Hollywood. We have to catch up." "Rules" revolves around an engaged couple (Bianca Kajlich, Oliver Hudson), a married couple (Patrick Warburton, Megyn Price) and a happily single guy (Greg Pitts). Spade will play the engaged man’s best friend. Spade’s last-minute addition to the cast of "Rules" is reminiscent of his first stint in a primetime comedy series. In 1997, he was a late addition to another new midseason sitcom, NBC’s "Just Shoot Me!" He was added to the cast of the workplace comedy after the original pilot already had been shot and went on to become one of the main characters on the long-running show. His series credits also include a role on ABC’s "8 Simple Rules."

Call me weird, but I really like him!  

COMEDY CENTRAL is taking command and putting William Shatner in the hot seat. Shatner is confirmed to brazenly travel where only the strongest have survived, as the all-comedy network’s newest Roastee. The show is scheduled to tape in August in Los Angeles. "The COMEDY CENTRAL Roast of William Shatner" will air on Sunday, August 20 at 10:00 p.m.

"It takes a real man to follow Pamela Anderson into the Roast pit and William Shatner is truly a hero among men," said Elizabeth Porter, senior vice president, specials and talent for COMEDY CENTRAL. "By the end of this year’s Roast, Shatner may wish he was in a galaxy far, far away."

William Shatner has cultivated a career that has spanned over 50 years as Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning actor, director, producer, screenwriter, recording artist and author. He is one of pop culture’s most recognizable figures and has also established himself as a major Hollywood philanthropist.

Can we do this Tom Cruise until either he comes out of the closet or we see Suri? 

Comedy Central, which leaped into its archives and reaired a South Park episode lampooning Tom Cruise when the episode was nominated for an Emmy, announced over the weekend that it will rerun an episode that was aimed at Mel Gibson on Wednesday night. The episode, which aired in 2004, is called "The Passion of the Jew," a take-off on Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ and at one point implies that Gibson is an anti-Semite. Meanwhile, TV Guide is reporting that Icon Productions, Mel Gibson’s production company, is planning to battle ABC if it refuses to proceed with a planned miniseries that deals in part with the Holocaust — or if it engages another production company to take on the project.
