Painful Moment During Wednesday’s Olympic Coverage
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Sports, NBC, Video,
If you somehow missed today’s weightlifting coverage (as if you would know when it was on), you luckily avoided one of the nastiest accidents in quite some time.
Hungarian Janos Baranyai was attempting to hoist 148kg (326 lbs) over his head when things went terribly wrong. The 24-year-old, who was participating in his very first Olympics, lost control of the bar and dislocated his elbow on the way down.
WARNING: The video is pretty hard to watch.

Failed performances or not, we should have known that Britney Spears’ relationship with the VMAs would never be completely over.
While it’s still unclear whether the singer will be hitting the MTV stage again anytime soon, Spears has offered her improved self to several of the event’s promos.
Still not sure who Russell Brand is? Well, you probably aren’t the only one. In the following clip, the comedian tries to teach the pop star his name.
Will Britney win either of the two categories (Best Female Video, Best Pop Video) she’s nominated for? Find out when the 2008 Video Music Awards air on September 7.

Deal or Deal Has Its First Millionaire
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Games, Prime Time, NBC, News, Video,
After nearly three years, the wait is almost over. According to Howie Mandel, Deal or No Deal will have its first millionaire very soon.
The surprise announcement was made during Thursday night’s finale of Last Comic Standing. (You can see that clip after the jump.) Since the date of the milestone wasn’t revealed, it’s not known how many suitcases aided the winner in their mission. In the program’s ‘Million Dollar Mission’ - which will be implemented again next season - an additional case worth $1 million will be added to the mix after each failed attempt.
Find out which overly-excited contestant finally wins when Deal or No Deal returns on Monday, August 25.

The Lohan vs. Cooper Battle Continues
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Talk Shows, ABC, Cable, Syndication, Gossip, News, Video,
Earlier this week on Live with Regis and Kelly, guest host Anderson Cooper offered his unedited opinions about the “train wreck” also known as Living Lohan. (You can view that hilarious segment here.)
In addition to calling the Lohan clan “horrific people,” he said that Ali Lohan was “allegedly a 14-year-old girl” who “looks to be about 60.” (For the record, I completely agree with that remark.)
And as Cooper had predicted, it didn’t take long before Dina Lohan offered her response to the journalist’s comments. (After all, that’s how she makes her money. She picks up the phone and makes sure statements are retracted.) Later that day, the mama bear told OK! that the “cruel” anchor would get it in the end. “This is bad karma for him.”

UPDATE: You can find an update to this story here
On today’s episode of Live with Regis and Kelly, guest host Anderson Cooper diverted from his usual discussions about hard news to talk about….reality television.
In addition to making fun of Project Runway‘s leather queen (Stella), the CNN anchor used his journalistic skills to brilliantly shred Living Lohan.
C’mon Gelman. Can’t you see how much better your show would be without Regis?

Big Brother Competitors Feel Earthquake
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, News, Video,
Although CBS likes to isolate the Big Brother competitors from the real world, the network can’t keep them from experiencing a natural disaster.
In this clip, you can see how the houseguests reacted during yesterday’s California earthquake. After watching the video, try to correctly guess how many times the phrase ‘Omigawd’ was used. Also, do your best to figure out why removal of clothing was deemed necessary.

Randomly Commenting About: JCPenney’s Breakfast Club Commercial
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Commercials, Editorial, Video,
Have I gotten so old that kids are already doing horrible remakes of things from my youth?
When I first heard the Jonas Brothers massacre ‘Kids in America,’ I just wanted to cry. Now I’m directing my evil eye toward JCPenney.
I’m sorry - but no one should ever be allowed to tamper with The Breakfast Club...or anything to related to John Hughes. Ever.
