Monday: How I Met Your Mother
We were a little disappointed by Saturday Night Live this weekend when Neil Patrick Harris hosted. Not because he wasn't hilarious-he was!-but because they did too much Doogie and not enough Barney, Mr. Harris' slimy, yet weirdly charming womanizer on HIMYM. Over the last few years, this Friends-ish pal comedy has Read More
Rolling Stone's Web site is offering a sneak peak of its next cover, which features a cleaned up, seemingly elated Britney Spears with the hopeful, Obama era slogan, "Yes She Can!" (Best to ignore the smaller coverline for "Skanky Brits.")
As you can see, the last time Ms. Spears was on the cover Read More
Looks like CNN got taken by two of Howard Stern's employees this morning. Rather than the usual call-in taunt of "Baba-booey!" two Stern Show regulars, Richard Christy and Sal "The Stockbroker" Governale, went down to Lehman Brothers headquarters and pretended to make out with each other behind a CNN standup report Read More
Tuesday evening, for VH-1 and Vogue's "Fashion Rocks" show, the Black Eyed Peas performed a hip-hop version of the Rolling Stones' "Miss You." Turning one of the sexiest songs of all time into a dead-eyed, fake-funk abomination is a real accomplishment, though to be fair, it's just another day at the office for B.E.P.

Monday: 40 Hottest Hotties of the 90sOk, we know it's a lowbrow suggestion, but over the weekend we caught an hour of Vh1's 100 Best Songs of the '90s and remembered the pleasures of the countdown program, and the end of the millennium. Plaid shirts, Baywatch, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Marky Mark: they'll all be here Read More
Tonight, VH1 will present the latest installment of its decades-spanning, nostalgia clip 'n' quip series I Love the New Millennium. All your favorite stars—Michael Ian Black! Scott Ian of Anthrax! Um... Michael Ian Black!—will share their insights into the wackiest, most hilarious decade that's nearly 8/10ths over.
In addition to the obligatory Britney Spears Read More
Michael Hirschorn, the lowbrow celebreality guru and highbrow Atlantic Monthly columnist, is on the verge of signing a new deal to serve a much different role at Vh1, where he has served as Executive Vice President of Original Programming since January of 2006, according to sources familiar with the situation. Details of Mr. Hirschorn’s new Read More
One day in 2002, Michael Hirschorn of VH1 was thumbing through an obscure music magazine when he happened upon an article about a BBC TV show. At the time, Mr. Hirschorn was on a frantic search for creative new programming ideas that might give the struggling cable channel a shot in the arm, and something Read More
Well, since we got ourselves all involved in the question earlier, we listlessly inform you that Perez Hilton will not be appearing in Rosie O'Donnell's old spot on The View.
We'll let Perez tell you the news himself.
Wearing a dark pinstripe suit, open white shirt, mirror sunglasses and braided pony tail, Ice-T walked into the Blue Room for his City Hall press conference. "We were here lobbyin for movie stuff and we got it," he boasted to a gaggle of political reporters. When the Mayor arrived, welcoming everyone to City Hall "or Read More
Attention Ray Kelly: There is a horde of bicyclists in hooded sweatshirts, circling around Union Square. One even has a megaphone!

This weekend, one-hundred or so fans of Kimora Lee Simmons converged on the after-party at Guest House on 27th Street a bit before midnight. "I don't know what you people are doing here," said B.J. the doorman, "But you are not getting in without an invitation." "This is not a block party! This is for Read More
They've had a good run, but are gay men finally losing some ground as America's default arbiters of personal style?
Two of this season's most compelling reality shows feature loser heterosexual men being rehabilitated not by their swishy brethren, as has become customary, but by those old high-school nemeses: popular girls. Actually, it's three if you Read MoreLast week MTV Networks, a subsidiary of Viacom and home to MTV, VH1 and Nickelodeon, began distributing sleek, blue biker-style satchels to some 2,000 lucky employees who work in its high-profile offices in Times Square. The arrival of goodie bags does not usually cause much of a stir in the swag-happy hallways of MTV, but Read More
