Chelsea Clinton Stumps for Her Mom — With “The View” Ladies

Filed under: Media

Chelsea Clinton personally campaigned for a critical demographic — The View chatterboxes — after Whoopi, Sherri and Joy expressed their indecision about the presidential election. Not surprisingly, conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who often communicates in high-pitched mermaid squeals, didn’t rate a call and noted her “disappointment” on yesterday’s show.

So what do you know… Elisabeth got a call at 7 a.m. today from Miss Chelsea, but was too busy pouring milk on her baby (or whatever it is that new moms do) to take it. And when Elisabeth …

Billy Bush vs. Mary Hart

Filed under: Media

Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush took time out of his busy schedule of kissing Donald Trump’s ass (seriously, is Donald on that show every night?) to express his disgust with Mary Hart and Entertainment Tonight for almost airing a two-year-old video of Heath Ledger snorting cocaine. ET has since announced they won’t show the video out of “respect for Heath’s family.” Yeah, some respect.

Billy wrote on his Access Hollywood blog (fun parts highlighted):

Blender magazine lives up to its name this month, with a cover for which they apparently threw a bunch of body parts in a blender and created a senseless Britney Spears composite. The ashtray’s a nice touch, but other than that…

As Britney would say, “Huh?”

I’m just happy to know I DON’T have to be Tila Tequila. You have no idea how close I was to pursuing a career as a MySpace “model/actress” and changing my name to Candy Cocktail. What a relief!

CNN host and dreamy dreamboat for many men and women, Anderson Cooper, put his foot down last night, refusing to cover Heath Ledger’s death until hard facts and/or new, confirmed evidence are uncovered.

“For the last two nights we have reported on actor Heath Ledger. His shocking death is clearly a story a lot of people are interested in, but tonight we will not be reporting more on it. The truth is there is not really anything new to report. The full results of the various tests done on Mr. Ledger will not be ready …

John Gibson is as Sensitive as He is Handsome

Filed under: Media

Handsome devil John Gibson, of “The John Gibson Show” on Faux Fox News Radio, has upset people with his callous treatment of Heath Ledger’s death, calling him a “weirdo” with a “serious drug problem.”

Playing an audio clip of the now-legendary quote, “I wish I knew how to quit you” from Brokeback Mountain, Gibson quipped, “Well, he found out how to quit you.” Ha! Somebody get this guy a gig at the Comedy Store. Laughing, Gibson then played another clip from Brokeback Mountain in which Heath said, “We’re dead,” followed by his …
