Family Guy Actress Says Palin 'Lacks Sense of Humor'

As we all know, Family Guy is the least kid-friendly cartoon out there. Count on it to poke fun of everthing-touching on all spectrums of race, gender,religion,andpolitics. However, former vice presidential candidate
Sarah Palin says that one episode crossed the line.


The newest of season of Family Guy makes fun of Sarah Palin. A guest character on the show, Emily, explains to Chris,a character on family guy, that Sarah Palin is her mother. Palin was insulted because Emily's character has down syndrome, just like her real son, Trig.

According to NJ.com, Bristol, Trig's older sister, commented on facebook, "“If the writers of a particularly pathetic cartoon show thought they were being clever in mocking my brother and my family yesterday, they failed. All they proved is that they’re heartless
jerks.”


Andrea Fay Friedman, the voice of Emily, who also has down syndrome in real life,
responded by the whole fiasco by writing a heated letter to the New York Times. Friedman tells New York Times that Palin should "get a sense of Humor". In the letter, Friedman goes on to say that at least her mother didn't carry her around in hopes for "sympathy votes".

Ouch! Lil Wayne Has 8 Root Canals at Once

Never one to do anything half-assed, rapper Lil Wayne underwent a marathon root canal session earlier this week, with a whopping 8 teeth needing treatment. His mouth was apparently in such dire need of medical attention that he actually had his prison sentence for gun possession postponed to have the oral surgery. While he was there, he also had several tooth implants redone, more implants added, the last of his few real teeth repaired, and even had his diamond-encrusted grill worked on. The procedure lasted 8 hours in total, but no word on how much novocaine was required.

Malcolm in the Middle of a Band!

Malcolm in The Middle star Frankie Muniz is now a drummer for an unsigned band called You Hang Up. The 24-year-old stopped acting in 2008 and became a professional race car driver and now he is adding drummer in a band to his resume.

"This is something I have always wanted in my life, and I'm thrilled to be associated with such a great group of guys!" Muniz wrote on his Myspace page after he joined the band in late December.

You Hang Up is a Phoenix-based four member band who has done several concerts this year with Muniz.

In 2004 Muniz told Entertainment Weekly that his close friend Zac Hanson, drummer of the brother trio Hanson, taught him to play the drums.

"My best friends are Hanson," Muniz said at the time. "When they come out for their full electric tour after their CD gets released, they're going to have two drum kits up there, and I'm gonna jam with them.''

Muniz did spend some time on the road with Hanson in 2004, but he did not play with them on stage during their shows.

It seems Muniz wants to do it all. "Actor, race car driver, drummer in a rock band and accountant has a nice ring to it," Muniz recently tweeted.

New Season Brings New Controversy and Social Networking for Idol Contestants

The addition of Ellen to the judges panel is not the only change for American Idol this year--for the first time in Idol history contestants are allowed to have profiles on Twitter, Myspace and Facebook. In the previous eight seasons social networking was banned for contestants and any pre-existing profiles were deleted before contestants became part of the show.

Now all of the top 24 Idol contestants have been given profiles on Twitter, Myspace and Facebook. All of their profiles were created by Fox and it is not clear what the exact rules for the profiles will be. If you want to keep up with your favorite contestants online you can find a complete list of all of their online profiles here.

This season may have added online profiles, but it did not loose any of its drama and controversy. Chris Golightly, who called himself an orphan when we were first introduced to him on the show, has been kicked out of the top 24 and replaced by Tim Urban.

“It has been determined that Chris Golightly is ineligible to continue in the competition,” a press release from FOX said. “American Idol contestant Tim Urban has replaced Golightly as part of the Top 24.”

Fox has not given the reason why Golightly was taken out of the competition. Another contestant Michael "Big Mike" Lynch was also reportedly booted from the show in late January because his father broke the show's rules of confidentiality by talking to a Florida newspaper. However last night the top 24 was revealed and Lynch's profile is currently still up on American Idol's website.

And on an unrelated Idol note, last night was the first time in six years that Idol did not have the top ratings for its night, instead NBC's coverage of the 2010 Winter Olympics took the top spot.

Harry Potter Author Accused Of Plagiarism

The successful author of the Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling, has been added to the 2004 suit against her British publisher Bloomsbury, which states that Rowling stole ideas from another publication.

They claim that "Harry Potter And the Goblet of Fire," or as us females know it as, "the movie that Robert Pattinson was in," was stolen from a 1987 children's novel called "The Adventures of Willy the Wizard: No. 1 Livid Land," by Adrian Jacobs.

According to EOnline, Rowling states, "the fact is I had never heard of the author or the book before the first accusation by those connected to the author's estate in 2004; I have certainly never read the book."

She adds, "the claims that are made are not only unfounded but absurd and I am disappointed that I, and my U.K. publisher Bloomsbury, are put in a position to have to defend ourselves."

We Know WHO DAT but Where DAT AT???

The New Orleans Saints defeated the Indianapolis Colts at the Superbowl by a score of 31-17, so we already know WHO DAT. Word on the street (Any street USA), is that the sexiness that is Reggie Bush was supposed to propose to reality show vixen Kim Kardashian if his team took home the win. Well they won so.... Reggie WHERE DAT RING AT? Hopefully, he hasn't changed his mind with the thought that Kim K doesn't seem to need a ring to shine anymore...
