• Authenticity is Why We Still Remember the 'Sex And The City' Post-It-Note Episode

Tuccillo wrote the infamous Post-It-Note episode, you know, the one where shortly after reconciling, Berger (played by Ron Livingston) breaks up with Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) by leaving her a post-it-note that simply said, "I'm sorry, I can't, don't hate me."

  • Tori Spelling Will Continue 'True Tori' Even Though It's Ruining Her Marriage to Dean McDermott

    If you are someone who has been watching Tori Spelling's train wreck of a reality show "True Tori" on Lifetime, then you have already seen firsthand what a mess her marriage is. When her husband Dean McDermott's affair became public knowledge nearly a year ago, the actress decided to make the personal crisis the platform for her latest reality show, and so True Tori was born. While McDermott initially agreed to look like a fool on camera and was willing to shoulder most of the blame during their filmed therapy sessions, almost a year has passed, and it seemed that they have gotten nowhere. McDermott is now refusing to film anymore because it, quite obviously, is not fixing anything, according to "Us Weekly."Spelling sat for an interview today on "The Meredith Vieira Show," and she once again explained and tried to justify continuing on with a show that, at this point, might actually be killing her marriage.She said, "We let it all hang out. I don't [think I reveal too much] because if everything hadn't been made as public as it was, I would've chosen to deal with this privately with my husband. We're talking about the affair that my husband had almost a year ago. I chose to deal with it because it was my journey, it was my truth. Women everywhere go through this and I wanted to put it out there. It's completely cathartic for me and it's very individual.

I also think that the way that Carrie Ann [Inaba], Bruno [Tonioli] and Len [Goodman] have embraced her and have individually been so great this season, as well, has been wonderful. I think it shows their character that they can do that. The three of them have been absolutely wonderful in welcoming Julianne in and I think it has been lovely to watch," said Wade.

    Teresa Giudice is scheduled to surrender to authorities at a prison camp in Connecticut Jan. 5, a stint that will ultimately keep her locked away from her kids for 15 months. One of the ways that "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star is dealing with her temporary fate is by beginning to plan for her life afterward.

  • WWE Delays 'New Day' Faction Out of Sensitivity for Unrest in Ferguson

    The WWE has built an empire on creating larger-than-life characters who still seem to have at least one foot in the real world. The organization pays close attention to what is hot on the Internet and also how the U.S. in general interacts with other countries. It is no coincidence that Russian characters have been brought in to play the bad guy at certain points in time when our relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin is more than a little strained. It shows that it is paying attention to all sorts of issues outside of its organization and finding ways to connect with the fans on several levels at once.But every now and then a hot-button topic will come along that is too dicey even for World Wrestling Entertainment to touch, and the riots and protests in Ferguson, Missouri, have actually altered storyline plans.WWE was originally planning a big push for a new faction, according to Wrestling Inc., that includes Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and Big E. They started popping up here and there but were not being given the kind of time that longtime fans could easily have expected. In recent weeks, the trio have been dubbed "The New Day" and have been the focus of several vignettes. This new faction is now on track to debut on "WWE Monday Night Raw" next week, so fans will finally learn more about them.According to Wrestling Inc., the stable's delay is directly related to the unrest in Ferguson. WWE believes that, quite obviously, racial tension is what is lying at the root of the protesting in Missouri, and while it as an organization will not take sides, it also did not want to do anything that could be perceived as contributing to the problem.
  • Most of the Kardashian Family Will Be Spending Thanksgiving as Far from Kris Jenner as They Can Get!

    Remember when part of the magical effect that the Kardashian family had on people was the ability to make fans jealous? It really did seem, at least for a little while, that life as a member of Kris Jenner's extended family would be simply amazing. Now, a few years after the bottom began falling out, even the most die-hard of fans know otherwise.It was all an illusion especially created for reality television and, unfortunately, Jenner's true reality seems to get more dismal by the week. After confirming that she is dating 25-year-old Corey Gamble, even her kids are refusing to come home for Thanksgiving!Kendall and Kylie Jenner were especially crushed by Kris's divorce from their father Bruce Jenner, and they often side with him. According to Radar Online, both girls are refusing to even deal with their mom's new man and will be spending the holiday with their father. Kourtney Kardashian's relationship with Scott Disick is a mess, so they are passing on Kris's invite. Khloé and Rob Kardashian are both unpredictable and dealing with their own issues, so they are likely to stay away, too. The only family members who are confirmed to be spending Thanksgiving at the family compound are Kim Kardashian and her little family, and that is likely because they still live there!
  • Jennifer Aniston's 'Cake' Shut Out of Independent Spirit Award Nominations

    This is supposed to be Jennifer Aniston's year. She decided to get really brave and un-pretty for her new role in Cake, in which she plays a depressed chronic pain sufferer. It is actually exactly the kind of part she needed to take in order to prove that she could portray someone other than a character similar to Rachel Green from "Friends" on the big screen. Aniston has won over audiences that have already seen her new indie flick — so much so that Oscar buzz has been swirling like crazy around her. That is why it comes as a semi-shock that Cake did not grab even a single nomination for the 2015 Independent Spirit Awards.The list of nominations was released yesterday, and Aniston was not in it. The Independent Spirit Awards nomination list is what technically kicks off awards season, and everything from this point on is just another step toward Oscar. Aniston, after months of Hollywood invisibility, has really been hitting the bricks to promote Cake. She has even shown up for various parties that are considered necessary to attend if you want the Academy to take you seriously.
  • Thanksgiving Parody: Elementary Students Sing Garth Brooks's 'I Got Friends in Low Places' as 'I Hate Yams in All Places' [LISTEN]

    There is nothing like a good, old-fashioned Thanksgiving parody. DJ Richie Philips at WGNA in Albany, New York, got some elementary school students to sing about their least favorite holiday dish: yams. The kicker? The song is titled "I Hate Yams in All Places" and it is set to the tune of a little ditty made famous by Garth Brooks called "I've Got Friends in Low Places," Taste of Country notes."It's Thanksgiving Day, there's food that we hate / There's also some foods that we like," the children sing, trying to nail down the melody. "When it's all on my dish, and they serve me fish / I'd rather be out on my bike."The students really give it their all in the video below, and it all comes to a climax at the reworked chorus."I hate yams in all places / I'd rather chew on my shoelaces / But it's only right to be polite / It's only right to tell my mother / Feed those yams to my brother," they sing.

He also made it clear that from his standpoint race was irrelevant and it would have ended the same way even if Brown had been white.
