BB08: Rebecca Is The Dreamworld Seinfeld!
12:51PM Jess McGuire | Alright, so this happened on Wednesday night’s Daily Show but I couldn’t bring myself to write about it until today because I overdosed on Big Brother in the wee hours of Wednesday morning during Carson’s brief time in the house.

Yes, Rebecca has really raised a valuable point about folks for whom English is a second language not quite hitting the mark conversationally.

3:05AM Defamer Hollywood | Robert De Niro shuffled through Endeavor’s busy revolving door Wednesday in the agency’s third high-profile move of the week, marking the end of the Oscar-winner’s long tenure at CAA. The addition comes days after Ashton Kutcher fled Endeavor for the confines of CAA, and nearly a week after the seismic defection of comedy power broker Nick Stevens and two partners from UTA.

Bon voyage, Bob. [Variety] More »
