This morning Hoda Kotb and Donny Deutsch hosted the fourth hour of the "Today Show" and talked about a recent study which found that while the average British man has slept with 9 people, he has 2.8 million people in his sexual network after you trace his partner's partners and...

Mackenzie Phillips is set to tell Oprah tomorrow that she was raped by her father, John Phillips, and continued to have a sexual relationship with him for many years. She revealed as much in her tell-all book that comes out Wednesday:

"On the eve of my wedding, my father...

"Two new women who will have the status of featured players -- Jenny Slate and Iranian-born Nasim Pedrad -- will join the cast [of 'Saturday Night Live'], not as replacements for anybody, Michaels says, although cute Casey Wilson and glamorous Michaela Watkins have concurrently left. Watkins may have been just...

Wow, CNBC, who knew you had it in you to be so bitchy? If Jon Stewart weren't on vacation he might have something kind to say about the network for once...or maybe he would just eviscerate them for caring more about porn that the economic crisis. (h/t The...

Michael Ian Black is out and about promoting his new Comedy Central show "Michael & Michael Have Issues" as well as a new series of ads he's doing for Klondike that incorporate his humor style and his love for the frozen treat that he enjoys with "adult beverages." Of course...

To be totally accurate it should probably read, "the death of journalism is foreshadowed by my presence on television," or "despite the fact that everyone blames the Internet for the demise of newspapers it's really people like me that instill a serious distrust of the media in the American psyche."...

Typos are tough in chyrons. Changing a 't' to a 'w' can make a world of difference, like, say, encouraging drunk driving instead of warning against it. Of course if they were skilled chyron writers in the first place this just would've read Authorities: Don't Let Assholes Behind The Wheel.

The 4th of July is a hit or miss holiday. I enjoy the parades and free pass to eat nitrates, but I'm kind of over fireworks (so sad) and therefore need another activity for the evening. That, predictably, turned out to be drinking with friends. We...

Don't you just love weird town names? Like all those places in Britain called Olde Craptown and Ur Mumms A Whora? They make chyrons like this possible. A child was abducted by her father in Massachusetts, which happens to have a town called "Sandwich" which happened to be where...

I don't even know where to start with this one, well actually let's start with the word "at." You can take a swipe at someone or you can slap someone, but to slap AT someone means doing this. Secondly, I don't think "His Slap At Dick Cheney" shows enough...

Oh, I get it. Whereas an "Economic Alert" tells you something incendiary and untrue about the economy on Fox News, an "Ecoonomic Alert" tells you something true but completely stupid.

Tim Geithner, like many Americans, is selling his home and unable to find a buyer in a bad...

You know those local news reports that let you know you're in imminent danger because of some household item? Or the ones that tell you your neighbor is probably a serial killer? But they can't tell you who why or what until 11:28p? Yeah, those are awesome, and they're no...

In a horrifying report, detailed in the "New York Times" today, we learned that tens of thousands of poor Irish children, taken into the care of religious institutions, were sexually, physically and emotionally abused by priests, nuns and other care-takers. As a baptized Catholic, who thinks the Church...

Alan Alda, the Academy Award-nominated, Emmy award-winning actor, director, screenwriter, hasn't yet discovered that he's too big a star to be talking to me (thank god) and keeps granting us interviews. On this occasion, we were curious what his time on the set of "30 Rock" has been like, and...

Going on a job interview is like going on the worst first date ever. You have to be able to answer questions without revealing anything bad about yourself, while insuring your doubletalk sounds sincere. (It's unlike a first date in that you cannot expect sex at the end, unless you...

I'm a little embarrassed to love this show as much as I do, but I can't help myself: The "Real Housewives of New York City" is mesmerizing. Just look at how much news they generate: one of them got dumped by her royal husband, one of them beat...

This was a big year for women: The first serious female presidential candidate, the first predominately female state senate, the first female Top Chef. Yet the advertising world has not caught up to the advances of half our population and continues to use stereotypes and violence to prey...

Now I know I'm jumping the gun here because Four Christmases hasn't opened yet and any movie that combines the humor of Jon Voight with the understated elegance of Vince Vaughan is sure to be a winner, but I thought I'd risk it and come out with...

Many of us were taken aback yesterday when word leaked that Sarah Palin was McCain's choice for VP. I had long ago written her off as someone he was vetting in order to add women to his short list and secure Alaska's three electoral votes. But no. He chose the...

John McCain shoved his spokesperson out into the fray today and armed him with these words about the New York Times:

"If the shareholders of The New York Times ever wonder why the paper's ad revenue is plummeting and its share price tanking, they need look no further...
