TV Buzz Lost amid the furor of last week’s photo scandal, Miley Cyrus is also in the middle of a heated dance off with the guys behind Step Up 2: The Streets. The three videos below tell the story better than we ever could, but the basic arc runs thus: John Chu, the director behind dance flick Step Up 2, challenged Miley Cyrus and her pal Mandy to a dance battle via his YouTube blog; Miley and Mandy responded with a video of their own; then Chu and dance maniac Adam Sevani made a response-to-the-response video, featuring cameos by Lindsay Lohan (?) and Adam Sandler (??). Now the three videos have 5.3 million views between them.
TV Buzz And it all comes full circle as VH1 rounds up contestants fromFlavor Of Love, I Love New York, and Rock of Love to compete for $250,000. Between all the contestants, the amount of collagen, silicone and eyeliner might officially make the set of I Love Money a toxic wasteland (in every sense of the word).
TV Buzz It started on radio, moved to television, and now it’s going live: Tonight, This American Life will be broadcast live from a New York stage to movie screens across the country. If we know Ira Glass (and we do), there are going to be a lot of panties thrown on-stage at this show. Flannel-clad hipster chicks have, indeed, found their Elvis.
TV Buzz A blog devoted to bringing you each day’s Final Jeopardy question, one video at a time. Why does everyone bet so much on the Final Jeopardy question?
TV Buzz Scuttlebutt that Tim Russert has had Arianna Huffington blacklisted from NBC over comments about him in her new book. There are several passages in Right is Wrong about Russert, calling him (among other things) “one of the temple guards of conventional wisdom” and a “conventional wisdom zombie.” Huffington was reportedly un-booked from two NBC shows, but she’s talking everywhere else about the tome. We love a good media scandal. Also, we just wanted to use the word scuttlebutt.
TV Buzz The buzz surrounding Joss Whedon’s new sci-fi series Dollhouse is building, as fansites pop up and script pages are leaked. This show doesn’t even exist yet, but rabid fans are already collecting every single tiny minute remnant of news and speculation surrounding it. Here’s my attempt at gathering the pieces.
TV Buzz Openly gay CNN reporter has been arrested for being caught in Central Park with crystal meth. Allegedly, he was also found with a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals, and a sex toy in his boot. No word on whether or not he is a Republican, or an evangelical Christian.
TV Buzz Good news for both Clinton and Obama: The Colbert Bump is real, if you’re a democrat. A political scientist has taken a hard look at the evidence, and it looks like appearing on The Colbert Report is good for Democrats, bad for Republicans. We don’t understand the physics involved, but he’s got a graph and everything, so science wins again.
TV Buzz Audrina’s scummy ex-boyfriend from The Hills lands a modeling gig for men’s label, Orthodox. So cold, yet so hot. We felt kind of evil inside for being disappointed when Audrina dumped Justin Bobby in hopes of finding a healthy relationship.
TV Buzz The ad campaign for the return of the CW teen show is raising eyebrows. OMFG! Teens having sex!
TV Buzz IFC and Nerve.com teamed up to compile a list of the 50 Greatest Comedy Sketches. With sketches from SNL, The State, The Chapelle Show, In Living Color, Mr. Show and Monty Python, the list has something for everyone. We are a little sad that Stevie Nick’s Fajita Roundup didn’t make the cut.
TV Buzz The perfect role is waiting for you. Here’s a round-up of reality television casting listings, as well as some of the funnier posts we’ve come across. The application process may be tedious, but it’s a small price to pay for the chance to be Paris Hilton’s BFF. Especially if that Fulbright Scholarship never quite panned out for you.
TV Buzz From your friends at Stereogum, a new site about pop culture and TV and Brad Pitt getting hit by a car. Welcome to the internet, Videogum.
TV Buzz The buzz is strong for the fourth and final season of Sci-Fi Channel’s brilliant “reimagining” of the chintzy series from the 70’s. So why aren’t you watching? It’s won a Peabody, for frak’s sake! Plus, The Wire’s over, and it’s not as if White People have anything else to do.
TV Buzz She’s baaaaack! Did you know The Today Show is on TV every morning for FOUR HOURS? Well, it is, and Kathie Lee Gifford will be joining its last hour, which is mostly focused on “soft” news (read: cheap vacations and no-carb recipes).
TV Buzz The new show about a high school geek who joins a fraternity once he gets to college is getting unexpectedly good reviews. The premiere of its second season aired on ABC Family last week and this is the first we’ve heard about this show. If anything, we’re thankful there’s something to watch while we’re waiting for the new episode of the Hills to air on Monday nights. There’s even a sort of indie-emo-looking dude on it.
TV Buzz The excellent two-part series about Bush’s war in Iraq has already aired on PBS, but you can watch it in its entirety - plus extras - online. A great use of the web, the Bush’s War site provides a video timeline and interview extras in a clear, engaging presentation.
