Seinfeld Returns To NBC
5:02PM Defamer Hollywood | Oh, hey, look: Flailing NBC executive Ben Silverman just bought a reality TV project from Jerry Seinfeld, marking the 1990s comedian as the ultimate trailing indicator of desperation and creative bankruptcy.

3:00PM Jess McGuire | As you would all be well aware of by now, I am a big supporter of the Lindsay Lohan/Samantha Ronson romance that has had tabloids around the world gripped for an eternity. I think they’re really sweet together, and as much as someone who has no idea of what two people are actually like in real life and has absolutely no right to pass judgement on them can be, I am adamant they make a great pair and are good for each other.
So when break up rumours surface, I am the first to shoot them down. Samantha and Lindsay are forever! If they can’t make it work, then I know I’ll never find anyone to love me. You see? My own romantic future hangs in the balance here!
So while I was chuffed to learn that Samantha had recently performed a set with a band and dedicated a song to her missus, I felt a bit worried about the state of their relationship when I listened to the lyrics.
I try to remember who you were when we first met‘Cos I can’t see you in your eyesDon’t wanna remember who you were when we first met‘Cos there’s no truth left in your lies
And what about this!
I hold on, you let goI’m falling after youIn and out of love with you
Would you like to see video of this very performance and hear the song for yourself? It’s after the jump…

12:15PM Jess McGuire | Congratulations to Catriona Rowntree and husband James who have announced they’re expecting their first child together. I guess that’s the end of my inappropriate Catriona Rowntree mime at parties. I have some scruples, you know. I could never make those gags (so to speak) about someone’s mother.
Catriona Rowntree soon won’t have much time to getaway – she is expecting her first child. The TV darling and her grazier husband James Pettit are thrilled.
“I am nearly halfway there, I am just not showing,” Rowntree said.
The bub’s half cooked and she’s still not showing? Well, if you’re pregnant and quietly seething at Catriona’s luck, prepare to hate a little more! More »

11:15AM Jess McGuire | If you immediately felt concerned when you learned that Fifi Box had broken up with her long time lover Tony Woods, I am pleased to inform you that Fifi has turned to the media and reassured them that she’s doing well despite the pain of the break up, and – of course! – the two remain close friends. And work colleagues!
Fifi Box has opened up on her split with boyfriend and manager Tony Woods, telling Confidential she remains very much in love with the man who remains her best friend.
Remains very much in love? Gracious! In which case, what on earth is to blame for their relationship being torn asunder?! More »

9:31AM Jess McGuire | Today’s video masterpiece comes from reader Paul, who says “Here’s a Clip Of The Day for you. It was released in time for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics: – Los Manolos’s cover of the Beatles hit.”
Beatles hit? Surely you mean Johnny Young & Team?!
PS: I just realised that the title Young Talent Team works as both an age description of the team members, and the fact they were allegedly mentored by someone with the last name Young. This is mortifying. Talk about a belated penny dropping! It reminds me of the time I finally said Bob Downe’s name out loud and got the joke. Epic Brain Fail. More »
