Paris Is Burning

MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski, interviewing some Tee Vee bonehead "Kelly" on 2007 "celebrity meltdowns" just wondered on-air if in 2008 she'll have to "rip up more scripts." Recall Mika's meltdown during a newscast where she snapped and dramatically refused to read a Paris Hilton story. Mika's phony gambit garnered her worldwide admiration. There she is with a lighter, jaw set, intent on BURNING the Paris news.

As for the bonehead Kelly, I cringed as she butchered simple grammar blathering about Jamie Lynn Spears's pregnancy. "Her and her boyfriend." SHE and her boyfriend, moron!

How humble! ABC's Charlie Gibson hosts back-to-back Repub & Dem debates Saturday night and promises: "It's not about me." Maybe that's why he was the only Big Three Tee Vee anchor to GAIN viewers in '07. Charlie's doing it like group therapy with the candidates in a circle. Howard Kurtz Wash Post

The media are wringing their collective hands over the writerless return of Leno and Conan. Letterman has a leg up after making a deal with the WGA to get his writers back. Leno and Conan may be stuck with presidential candidates and other non-union whores because actors and other celebrities may be reluctant to appear. USA Today
