In 'true confession' form, I must say that as a result of my bout of insomnia during the early morning hours of this last Thursday, I missed the DFiVE9 show last night. At 7pm last evening, after I finished routing the ethernet wire throughout my apartment, I sat down for a second. BIG MISTAKE ON THREE HOURS SLEEP. When I woke up, it was 3am, ironically 24 hours after my most recent bout of insomnia. Bummer.
The cable/satellite channel E! is doing one of their documentary styled "E! True Hollywood Story" shows about Paula Poundstone. An hour long show about Paula Poundstone? I could sum her life up in ten seconds: I'm lesbian, I'm nobody; I'm lesbian, I'm (sort of) famous; I'm lesbian, I'm a goddamned child molestor. [props to Denis Leary].
What happened to E!? "True Hollywood Story" was good until they started using "re-enactments" instead of actual photos. Another issue with E!: Jules Anser looks really good and can read a cue card, but who said she could interview people with any talent? Real tough questions like (to Julia Roberts) "Do you think you'll ever have children?" and (to George Clooney) "Do you think you'll ever get married?" Real tough, revealing questions. Those are the questions that E! is using in the promos. I won't get into the possible deals that E! has with the publicity team for the Oceans 11 movie but I can guarantee you that "Revealed with Jules Asner" is not worth watching. At least with the volume turned up.
