Bill O’Reilly Has Had It With Media Corruption

6:49PM the cajun boy | Oh my—American news anchor Bill O’Reilly is angry. Angry at Newsweek specifically, for perpetrating what he sees as a “growing problem in America…media corruption.” What did Newsweek do? They allowed a liberal columnist to criticise Fox News and Sarah Palin! More »

Bill O’Reilly: MJ Isn’t A Black Icon Because He Had White Kids

4:10PM the cajun boy | Ah Bill O’Reilly. God bless him. Tonight he opened his show stating that Michael Jackson’s family should be left alone and allowed to grieve. Naturally, he then turned right around and ripped Jackson to shreds for everything imaginable. More »

Bill O’Reilly Challenges Jessica Alba’s Knowledge of European Peace-Keeping

8:28AM Kyle Buchanan | Though we were heartened by Jessica Alba’s recent kiss-off of Bill O’Reilly (her best performance since Into the Blue!), she’s now been sucked back into a Fox News fight that’s paying off with diminished returns.

Jessica Alba’s O’Reilly-Bashing Inspires Unfamiliar New Feelings Of Respect

6:50AM Kyle Buchanan | When Bill O’Reilly’s producers sought to ambush dim-bulb celebrities at the Inauguration festivities, they settled upon Jessica Alba as a potential target. Alba, however, was having none of it. More »

Bill O’Reilly Devours Conscience-Stricken Movie Blogger

10:10AM STV | Jon Voight’s recent toe-dip into the murky pool of political commentary attracted more than a few piranhas, the hungriest of whom may have been Hollywood Elsewhere’s Jeffrey Wells. And after a July 29 blog item suggested freezing Voight’s career as payback for his public condemnation of Barack Obama (”If I were a producer and I had to make a casting decision about hiring Voight or some older actor who hadn’t pissed me off with an idiotic Washington Times op-ed piece, I might very well say to myself, ‘Voight? Let him eat cake’”), Bill O’Reilly came a-calling last night with a theory about a new Hollywood blacklist against conservatives. While we (and Wells himself, apparently) had hoped for a more bloodthirsty offensive from Wells, we’re endlessly engrossed by his session on Dr. O’Reilly’s couch, elucidating the vengeful feelings inherent to angry industry bloggers everywhere. Seriously, Bill, this is nothing — wait until Oscar season. [Fox News] More »

Mr. T Pities The Fools Who Think He Isn’t Gay-Friendly

8:05AM Defamer Hollywood | On the defensive after appearing in a Snickers commercial yanked for homophobia due to its swishy speedwalker, 80’s icon Mr. T appeared on The O’Reilly Factor and made it up to gays everywhere the only way he knows how: with glorious, glorious camp. The arm-wrestling brawler immediately produced a long-winded, written defence which he then read from on air; highlights include the passages, “I have been pitying fools for 28 years, Biiiiiill,” “Speedwalking is an Olympic sport,” and desperate pleas for someone, anyone, to talk to “SPEEDWALKA!” for his reaction. T particularly triggered our sympathy (not pity, we leave that to the experts) when he whined, “On The A-Team, I called the bad guys a disgrace because they was harassin’ helpless people. No problems. No complaints.” Too true, T. Compared to GLAAD, those bad guy lobbyists really need to get it together. [Amy Proctor Blog] More »
