Bill O’Reilly: Aniston's comments ‘destructive to society’Jennifer Aniston apparently ruffled the feathers of Fox News' Bill O’Reilly when she remarked that women don’t need men to have kids while promoting her new movie, “The Switch.” “Women are realizing it more and more, knowing that they don't have to settle with a man just to have that child,” the 41-year-old actress said of the decision her character makes in the movie to opt for single motherhood. O’Reilly, however, begs to differ. He brought up the statement on his show, “The O’Reilly Factor,” saying that Aniston is “throwing a message out to 12-year-olds and 13-year-olds that, 'Hey you don't need a guy. You don't need a dad.’ "

'Top Chef' goes to battleDEFCON 1 people! It was restaurant wars on “Top Chef" last night, also known as the best episode of the season. But before we get to the cooking, the judging and the aforementioned cheftestant warring, let’s roll it back to the beginning. After last week’s elimination, Amanda woke up glad to be with the "best of the best," and Kenny… well, you know Kenny. He's the “alpha male" and a “beast in the kitchen.”

Yes, I did 'Real World'...Don't remind meDon't expect to see Eric Nies or Heather B publicly endorsing "Real World: New York" cast mate Kevin Powell for Congress. Democrat Powell, who hopes to represent Brooklyn's 10th District, said he wants nothing to do with his reality-show past. "Notoriety is great, but it doesn't really mean anything if you don't actually use it to help people, and that's my position and that's been my position for a very long time and I'm 44 years old," said writer/activist Powell, who appeared on season one of "The Real World" in 1992. "I'm not that 25- or 26-year-old kid that was on MTV. I'm far from that at this point."

Going for the prize on 'SYTYCD'On Wednesday night's episode of "So You Think You Can Dance," we saw a final three who really gave it everything they could in hopes of becoming America's favorite dancer, and though two of them grew as performers right before our eyes, one emerged as the most deserving of the title. Let's size them up one by one, shall we? First up, Kent: He's come a long way from Wapakoneta, and his contemporary routine with Allison was one of the highlights of the night. The last time we saw him dance this well was probably his routine with Lauren (the one that was sealed with a kiss), so he's certainly in great position going into the finale.

Movies based on books increase book salesIf you want your book to sell well, have a movie made. The release of a film based on a book often results in increased sales for the literary project, known as the “book-to-movie bounce.” More often than not, the book is usually pretty popular, and thus is brought to the big screen. According to The Nielsen Company, book sales for “Eat, Pray, Love” have been enjoying a bump in anticipation of the release of the film.

George Michael charged with alleged drug posessionIs it just us, or does it feel like a lot of celebs are running afoul of the authorities this summer? Singer George Michael is the latest star to have troubled with the law, according to London's Metropolitan Police. He's been charged with possession of cannabis and driving while unfit through drink or drugs. It's not the singer's first brush with authorities . In 1998 he was arrested for allegedly engaging in a lewd act in a public restroom in a Beverly Hills park and in 2007 he was banned from driving for two years after driving while under the influence of drugs. Michael was arrested earlier this year in July after police received reports of a car crashing into a building in London, according to the BBC. |
