When a celebrity, or public figure gets a boost in her features such as Bristol Palin just got you immediately have to assume that it was plastic surgery. According to her, the jaw surgery she had was a corrective medical surgery to fix the alignment of her jaw.

Best known now for her run on “Dancing With the Stars”, the ex-VP candidate’s daughter is riding a wave of her own fame. After her run on DWtS she has become pretty popular. Her new look may make her even more popular though. Just look at the difference between her before (right) and After (left) pics from her jaw surgery:

Talk about a different person eh? Hook up some gold chains and maybe she could be in a rap video now .

The original creators of General Hospital, all the way back in 1963, Frank and Doris Hursley may have been stiffed by ABC for years. Now deceased, charges were filed by their estate, (ie. their daughters) to see if they were getting taken on the deal that apparently was to pay them 10% of all profits gained from the show.

The daughters alleged that ABC has cooked their books for years and that they owe the family money. The amount they think is owed was not given, but the show which was cancelled recently will have run for 49 years when the final show is done. That’s probably a lot of dehumidifiers when they get the books opened. They want the judge to force ABC to show their record keeping.

Disputes with the show’s creator, Matthew Weiner and AMC over what else..money it appears the show has been delayed until early 2012 for Season 5 rather than summer. Looks like everyone will be spending time with the kids playing Nintendo Wii instead of working.

Weiner has been offered $30 Million for a 3 year deal, but has a dispute about some of the conditions associated with it. AMC asked to ahve 2 minutes cut from each episode to ad commercial time, AND to cut some of the cast salaries. Weiner claims this would fundamentally make “Mad Men” a “different show.”

While the rants and all the ensuing hilarity of parodies out there is worth it, the Sheen rant got the show shut down.

Their announcement came hours after recordings of a Sheen interview with syndicated radio personality Alex Jones began whizzing around the Web, in which Sheen repeatedly attacked the show’s creator, as well as Alcoholics Anonymous.

CBS halted production of the show after his rants, and it does not appear there are any indications that his contract will be completed for a 9th season.

I don’t watch the show so all the aftermath is way better than the show could ever be anyways. Just look at his amazing speel here from the show:

What does this say about Haim Levine [Chuck Lorre] after he tried to use his words to judge and attempt to degrade me. I gracefully ignored this folly for 177 shows … I fire back once and this contaminated little maggot can’t handle my power and can’t handle the truth. I wish him nothing but pain in his silly travels especially if they wind up in my octagon. Clearly I have defeated this earthworm with my words — imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists. I urge all my beautiful and loyal fans who embraced this show for almost a decade to walk with me side-by-side as we march up the steps of justice to right this unconscionable wrong.

Remember these are my people … not yours…we will continue on together…

Charlie Sheen

Just fabulous.

His rants have hit the viral video mark now and all sorts are coming out. Even been Taiwanized which is the height of news fashion.

and of course the leaked footage of the finale which is easily a top 10 all-time finale.

Talk about being a nutcase if you give them money for such a thing. You have to be one hardcore celebrity stalker to pay for something like this I would think. Isn’t there enough of this in the millions of crazy media people out there hounding these people already? This doesn’t quench your thirst? This would just stop my need for sleeping pills.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and broadcast network ABC are unhooking the velvet rope on the Oscar.com website to provide live video streams of usually hidden aspects of Oscar night on Feb. 27, including celebrities mingling at a lobby bar, hair and makeup artists applying a final gloss to presenters before they take the stage and awards winners gliding into the post-ceremony celebration, the Governors Ball. more

While this news isn’t really all that helpful, it does help a little. We know that Fringe got moved to the death slot on Fridays at 9PM ET on Fox, but we are still holding out hope we get at least another season. They have plotted a 5 year series and we are only in season 3. This week was a nice surprise as it tied for the Friday win with CBS.

After a two week downward trend, Fringe clocked in with 4.1 million viewers and a 1.5 in the advertiser-friendly 18-49 demographic. That’s a 7% increase from last week’s 3.7 million viewers and 1.4 rating. So you might be able to stash your hair loss products for another week.

One of the only handful of shows I still watch live is almost dead in the water for ratings. Fox moved Fringe to the Friday night “death slot” at the beginning of the year and it was more or less a probably death sentence.

What is extremely annoying is that the show is getting better, and the ratings are going down. Still winning against shows like Supernatural every Friday by quite a lot, but Fox is still going to have to see a lot of help from fans to give us another season.

I know this show isn’t really one you can just pick up and start watching as it isn’t episodic, but has a main series story arc, but this show is worth it. It’s the only sci-fi show I’ve watched all the way through since X Files, and it is kind of like X Files in a way except it deals with not aliens, but parallel universes, and other crazy science!

OF course all that matters to Fox are the people that watch it live on Fridays at 9PM ET on Fox, or Saturday at 11 PM. Also, that they are 18-35 and own a Nielsen box! So advertisers can hook you up with multivitamin reviews. Shocked any show makes it on a Friday in this age group especially. We don’t stay home, and we DVR everything, or watch it online later.

So…if you have a box and you watch this show TUNE IN! We need at least one more season to tie it up.

Breaking Bad is a badass show. I can’t believe I missed this show before. Well…I am no longer missing it. I watched the entire series in 4 days! That’s right I watched this show nonstop for 4 days and I watched all 3 seasons. I want to cook meth now. That’s right Meth.

Bryan Cranston, formerly known as Hal, the father from Malcom In the Middle trades in his happy goofball comedy routine to become the best actor award winner every single year this show is going to be on the air. Hal who? That’s what you will say after you watch this show. It’s all about Walt now. Walt is a nuts, and convincingly so.

This show starts out the first season with Walt, played by Cranston as some ordinary dude teaching chemistry at a high school. Dead end job, and a life he didn’t want because I guess he is brilliant or something. He then finds out that he has the cancer and all hell breaks loose. No not Mesothelioma cancer
, but lung cancer and he thinks he is going to die in less than 2 years. Well not really right away. He just slowly and methodically turns darker and darker over the course of the show and by the end of season 3 he is all about doing whatever it takes to stay a live.

If you love Dexter this show makes Dexter look like a joke show. Especially after the garbage they tried to pass off as season 5. THIS is your new favorite show. Watch it.

Season 5 of our favorite serial killer, Dexter was somewhat of a letdown after the brilliant and intense season 4 that featured John Lithgow as his prime enemy and culminating in Rita’s death. Season 5 had a decent villain mind you in Jacob Chase, but overall the season felt like it didn’t accomplish much in way of expanding Dexter’s character, or do anything new.

One of my main complaints is how easily tied up everything was at the end, and that many of the situations were taken care of with slight cop outs. Most notably, Deb finding Dexter and Lumen at the scene where she tracked down Jordan Chase, only to be behind a curtain. Then without ever seeing them she lets them go due to “understanding” their plight.

What was so ridiculous about this was that first she not only let them get away, but she let them take Chase’s body with them! Later int he episode at the B-Day party LaGuerta gives her credit for “solving the barrel girl murders”. While technically half-true, she really didn’t tie anything up. The case isn’t over. Chase was gone. All the suspects were gone ala Dexter and Lumen.

Deb’s character may have been forced into letting them go with her experiences and her foreshadowing all season, but it still didn’t make much sense that she would be so dumb about it all. In my opinion they either had to let her find out it was Dexter, or they shouldn’t have had the scene at all. Letting them just get away before she arrived.

Besides this, the entire Liddy/Quinn murder investigation ended way too abruptly. At the crime scene it was intense, yet 20 minutes later it was all over with because Dexter tapered with the blood results from Quinn’s show. Quinn basically knowing that Dexter did it, but telling him he “owes him one” is not just cliche, but silly. Why does Quinn just think that killing Liddy is OK? Is he really that big a wimp and scared of Deb to accuse Dexter, or just too dumb to get the evidence. Remember he HAS those photos of Dexter and Lumen dumping bags into the water. The case should be far from over.

Quinn is seen dumping all the messages out of his cell phones, they catch him giving Liddy surveillance equipment, and yet the whole thing is resolved cleanly by the end of the episode. At the very least it is highly suspicious even if the blood was tampered with. You can say it was the smoking gun of it all, but he is still very connected with Liddy.

As for Dexter and Lumen. Certainly it was a decent match for the season, and the ending was a bit sad, but none of this is new. Dexter has had the same epiphanies several times before. That he isn’t like everyone else.

Also, another irritating issue was that Dexter barely grieved for Rita at all during the season. Very short and far between moments all the way through. Only in the first couple episodes and maybe the conversation with Aster at the end of the Finale did he spend much time with it.

Overall, Season 5 was good, but not worthy of high praise to me. It felt like a filler season that was trying stand still since it has no end date for the show. It was a highly condenses season that really when all is said and done is one that just didn’t progress the show, and could be skipped without loss of anything. You could say Dexter grieved for Rita by helping and falling in love with another woman, but he really didn’t grieve for Rita hardly at all.

The first season of Walking Dead ended last Sunday and I am much less intrigued by the show as I was during the first couple episodes. It’s not that I dislike the show. In fact I think it is actually somewhat good at times. My problem is that I felt like it was already dragging 3 episodes in of a 6 episode season. I was expecting much more.

The first season being only 6 episodes I wasn’t real sure what to expect, but I thought that they would resolve something, or create a story arc that was somewhat interesting. The first 6 episodes literally accomplished nothing IMO other than introducing a few characters, and not doing that great of job doing it.

I expected and wanted the show to be about the characters. The more it was the better chance it had to be good. Having zombie attacks every 5 minutes would get real old, real fast. Problem is that they really didn’t do anything at all. Every episode felt like it was a long slow walk to an impending final zombie attack int he last 5 minutes of the show with some character interaction to try and reveal a few more snipits. I wouldn’t be shocked if they spent 5 minutes talking about chest acne, or something.

My main problem though is that I just don’t really care about most of the characters. In fact, in the final episode if most of them had died I would have been completely unaffected. The girl that lost her sister and the old man could have easily stayed and died and I wouldn’t have cared. T-Bone could have died, although he is at least somewhat more interesting than a few others. Even Shane seems to be a complete mess of a character. Like they are trying to build him into a slow time bomb, but it is poorly done.

The next season needs more. Stronger characters for sure. Much stronger scripts for another. I just don’t feel like I am anticipating the next season at all right now. I was completely underwhelmed after the opening.
