Heath Ledger's Posthumous Oscar Campaign Rolls On
Posted by Mark Graham at 11:00 AM on July 16, 2008
· The eldest denizens of the Dark Knight cast, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman, made an obligatory promotional stop-off to hobnob with the ladies of The View this morning. And, of course, they used the opportunity to stump for a Heath Ledger Oscar nomination. We'll weigh in tomorrow morning with our own thoughts, as both Seth and STV saw the movie earlier this eve.

· Continuing the moribund nature of tonight's edition of Short Ends, we're sad to report that nearly 150 staffers at the Los Angeles Times, including publisher David Hiller and truth-challenged reporter Chuck Philips, found themselves on the receiving end of a pink slip. [LA Observed]
· Even though we don't know a single person who watches CSI, we're pretty sure that millions of people will be upset to learn that all-around bad-arse William Peterson is leaving the show mid-season. [Michael Ausiello]
· Your Uncle Grambo's dreamgirl extraordinaire, Miss Amanda Bynes, is dating ... Seth MacFarlane??? NOOOOOO! We are so glad this day is over, we're not sure we could take anymore bad news. [ONTD]

Here's something I learned from a friend who's in veterinary school: if you expose a dog, a male dog, to six continuous hours of The View, its balls atrophy and fall off. Neutering doesn't get any cheaper.

Well, Amanda Bynes was on "Family Guy" recently (she played Chris' girlfriend, Anna). I have to admit that she has the CUTEST VOICE EVER! She's a pretty talented physical comedienne, too. Seth McFarlane could do worse ...

I just miss the sorry bastard. I was born too early to mourn properly for James Dean and too late to do the same for him. Let the assembly line roll, there won't be many more falling off it.

@inkydinkydo: 'Cause it's hard to be a "living legend" when you're dead.

@Allie Anne: MacFarlane could certainly do worse, but Bynes could do WAY better.

@Mark Graham: C'mon, I thought that privileged douchebag persona of MacFarlane's was just that - an act. Don't tell me he's like that in REAL life! Poor sweet Amanda!!
