Filed under: Everybody Hates Marcus

The fifth and final season of 'The Wire,' which is arguably the best television show on the air, returns to HBO on Sunday night.

Curious fans of the gritty drama have waited over a year to find out the resolution between Marlo and Omar and if McNulty falls off the sobriety wagon.

One of the most endearing characters from Season 4 is Bubbles, the homeless heroin addict who is portrayed by Andre Royo.

Bubbles took fans on a emotional roller coaster as we saw his relationship with young Sherrod before he ended up accidentally killing him and ending up in the rehab center.

What's planned for Bubbles in Sesason 5? Royo spills the dirt about his character on the show and who would win in the ultimate 'Wire' street fight.

Filed under: Everybody Hates Marcus

The writers strike is now entering its third month and you are probably wondering what's the status of your favorite television show.

If you are a fan of the late night talk shows, you're in luck as all your favorites (Leno, Letterman, Conan, etc.) return tonight.

But as for the sitcoms, the number of new episodes are starting to dwindle.

Below is an update on a handful of television shows, including the CW's 'The Game' and 'Girlfriends.' For a complete list, you can check out TV Guide.

Boston Legal: Fourteen episodes will be produced. Ten episodes have aired, so there are four left.

Desperate Housewives: Ten episodes will be produced. Nine episodes have aired, so there is one left.

Dirty Sexy Money: Thirteen episodes will be produced. Ten episodes have aired, so there are three left.

Girlfriends: Thirteen episodes will be produced. Ten episodes have aired, so there are three left.

Tyra Banks Wants to Adopt a Kid

Posted Jan 2nd 2008 11:24AM by Marcus Vanderberg
Filed under: Everybody Hates Marcus

How else to kickoff 2008 but with a post on Tyra Banks.

According to The Sun, Banks is planning on adopting a kid in the near future.
Orphanages, beware.

"I've wanted to adopt since I was nine," said Banks. "I have a connection with children and they don't have to come from my womb for me to have that connection."

What 9-year-old do you know who is seriously thinking about adopting when they grow up?

I'm calling BS on that one, Tyra.

'A Shot at Love' Is Getting a Spinoff Series

Posted Dec 20th 2007 11:44AM by Marcus Vanderberg
Filed under: Everybody Hates Marcus

MTV's equivalent of 'I Love New York' is getting a spinoff series.

'A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila,' which saw record ratings (6.2 million viewers) for the network during its season finale on Tuesday, will have an upcoming spinoff that features Domenico Nesci called 'Amore.'

If you don't know the name, he was the Italian guy who was born and raised in Milan.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Nesci will be looking for an "American sweetheart" from among 15 bachelorettes who will vie to win his heart and travel to Italy to meet his mother.

'Amore' is scheduled to air at 10 p.m. Sundays starting March 2.

'Clash of the Choirs' Is A Holiday Snore

Posted Dec 20th 2007 12:01AM by Marcus Vanderberg
Filed under: Everybody Hates Marcus

All I want for Christmas is the writers strike to end.

That way, we can get shows like 'Clash of the Choirs' off my television set.

This four-night singing event is luckily almost over, and NBC can go back to repeats of "The Office" and "30 Rock."

Hell, I'll even take "Celebrity Apprentice" at this rate.

Five C-level singers (Even you, Ms. Patti) assemble choirs from their respective hometowns to compete for $250,000, which will be donated to a charity of their choice.

'Clash of the Choirs' is too nice.

Did Keyshia Cole Find Her Father?

Posted Dec 12th 2007 12:01PM by Marcus Vanderberg
Filed under: Everybody Hates Marcus

Last night was the season finale of "Keyshia Cole: The Way It is," the popular BET reality show that takes a look into the life of the R&B singer.

For those who watched it last night, what did you think?

In case you haven't had a chance to watch it yet, the hour-long episode had to deal with the results of a DNA test from a man claiming to be Cole's long-lost father.

I'm just glad Frankie got some damn teeth in her mouth this season!

Share your thoughts on the season finale....

Janice Dickinson continues to do the Lord's work when it comes to Tyra Banks.

The self-proclaimed world's first supermodel has made it her mission to belittle Banks any opportunity she gets after her departure from 'America's Next Top Model.'

Dickinson appeared on the 'Today' show when the topic of body image came up and blurted out:

"If you want to see someone fat, I'm sorry, Tyra Banks is fat."

Your Christmas gift is in the mail, Janice.

Snoop Dogg Makes His Reality TV Debut

Posted Dec 7th 2007 11:45AM by Marcus Vanderberg
Filed under: Everybody Hates Marcus

E! Entertainment Television is clearly wrapped up in the spirit of giving, because the network gave Snoop Dogg his own television show.

Sunday marks the debut of 'Snoop Dogg's Father Hood' at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT on E!

However, for those of you were expecting a reality show from Snoop should read the fine print.

It's not a reality show, but a "reality comedy."

Kelly Pickler Must Have Struggled in 3rd Grade

Posted Dec 5th 2007 12:29PM by Marcus Vanderberg
Filed under: Everybody Hates Marcus

'American Idol' reject Kelly Pickler is really dumb.

And calling her really dumb is an understatement.

Actually, she's a moron.

The blonde, who couldn't sing a lick on 'American Idol' Season 5 but was easy on the eyes, recently made a special appearance on FOX's 'Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?'

But Pickler ran into a roadblock when the questions became slightly more difficult.

Nothing like 3rd grade geography to slow you down.

Who doesn't know that Europe is a continent and NOT a country?

I'm so glad I'm not from the South - she is giving y'all a bad name.

'Frank TV' Is Far From 'Turrible'

Posted Dec 5th 2007 11:32AM by Marcus Vanderberg
Filed under: Everybody Hates Marcus

If you're like myself, you have noticed that the major networks are running out of new episodes due to the strike between the Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.

Desperate times call for desperate measures for your nightly television fix, which is how I came across 'Frank TV.'

Granted, the 50,000 commercials during the MLB Playoffs on TBS helped me remember this comedy sketch show was set to premiere.

Comedian Frank Caliendo, best known for his dead-on impersonations, was a regular on the late night sketch show 'Mad TV' for five seasons.

Jessica Sierra Has a Really Foul Mouth

Posted Dec 3rd 2007 11:49AM by Marcus Vanderberg
Filed under: Everybody Hates Marcus

Oh how the (not so) mighty have fallen.

American Idol Season 4 finalist Jessica Sierra was arrested (again) over the weekend.

But besides from another hideous mugshot, Sierra provided us with two gems.

According to TMZ.com, Sierra told the officer that arrested her: "I'll suck your d*** if you don't take me to jail."

That would have to be one helluva blowjob in order for the officer to release Sierra, who was arrested in Florida for causing a disturbance (ie: really drunk).

Somebody should have put something in Sierra's mouth however, as she later went on to use the N word several times, saying, "F*** you N*****!"

She's been charged with disorderly intoxication and violation of parole -- and obstruction of justice.

And the "N-Word" continues to have the best year ever.

Tom Petty to Perform Super Bowl Halftime Show

Posted Dec 3rd 2007 10:13AM by Marcus Vanderberg
Filed under: Everybody Hates Marcus

There is no need to watch the Super Bowl Halftime Show on Feb. 3.

For all you pigskin fans hoping for a performance that would top the one of Prince last year. don't get your hopes up.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers is your halftime entertainment this year.

As if watching the Patriots destroy the Cowboys won't be boring enough.

But now you are asking NFL fans to sit through a 20-minute performance of a stale rock group that hasn't been hot since the '80s.

And if you are looking to blame someone for this - you can point the blame at Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson.

Because of "nipple-gate," the NFL has decided to go with these "classic" artists who won't go out and pull a fast one over on the networks.

Not that Prince didn't try last year though (see picture).

HBO To Make Film Based on Barry Bonds

Posted Nov 29th 2007 4:13PM by Marcus Vanderberg
Filed under: Everybody Hates Marcus

HBO Films is planning on turning the best selling book 'Game of Shadows' about MLB slugger Barry Bonds into a movie.

Lance Williams, a reporter at the San Francisco Chronicle, said that Ron Shelton has been tapped to direct the flick and will co-write the script with "Tin Cup" partner John Norville once the Hollywood writers strike is settled.

Williams co-wrote 'Game of Shadows' along with former Chronicle sportswriter Mark Fainuru-Wada.

The book recounts how Bonds allegedly began using steroids in 1999 after becoming jealous of Mark McGwire setting Major League Baseball's single season home run mark the previous season.

50 Cent To Show Off His Pad on 'Cribs'

Posted Nov 28th 2007 3:31PM by Marcus Vanderberg
Filed under: Everybody Hates Marcus

Have you ever wondered what a $18.5 million mansion looks like?

Rapper 50 Cent is ready to show the world.

On a special episode of MTV's 'Cribs' on Thursday, 50 Cent is showing off his pad before he sells it.

The Farmington, Conn. mansion was formally owned by boxer Mike Tyson.

The massive 19-bedroom property i includes a nightclub with a swing dangling from the ceiling for some of his wilder parties and is 48,000 square-feet.

"I like the look of an Architectural Digest," 50 said of his designing style. "There's a lot of good living going on, and it ain't based (on) the actual money that's being spent, it's the choices that people make. You don't have to buy a $50 million home to build a lifestyle that's equivalent."

If you have never been to Farmington, Conn. before, you aren't missing much.

What's the point of a $18.5 million mansion if you walk outside and you are in the boonies?
