NEIL PATRICK HARRIS TO HOST

61st ANNUAL EMMY AWARDS

Hot off the heels (make that high heels) of the Tony Awards, it can be reported that Neil Patrick Harris will be hosting the 61st Annual Emmy Awards, so mark your calendars for September 20, 2009 on CBS.

Last year’s Emmy Awards Hosts, if anyone remembers, were Tom Bergeron, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandell, Jeff Probst and Ryan Seacrest.  All were nominated for Outstanding Host of a Reality Show or Reality Competition. None of them went home with the Emmy, by the way, but their opening so-called “comedy” STILL has me in therapy.  And they Definitely won’t win the Emmy this year for hosting last years broadcast, thats for sure! Last year’s telecast was the lowest rated, least viewed ceremony in its televised history, so having Neil Patrick Harris hosting this year could not have come at a better time. Interestingly enough, though, Harris shared hosting duties with Sarah Chalke at the Creative Arts Awards Ceremony eight days prior to the Emmy telecast.

Harris is coming off a very well received hosting of the 63rd Annual Tony Awards telecast for CBS. Of course, being one of the biggest stars on CBS doesn’t hurt either, with his smash comedy hit How I met Your Mother, which oddly enough, or not, premiers its new season the day after the Emmy broadcast. Can you say, cross-promotion???

Anyway, congratulations to Neil Patrick Harris, I now have a reason after last year’s mess to watch the Emmy Awards again!!

Until Next Time!!

Letterman Slammed for Sex Joke

David Letterman is in the hot seat for some crude jokes made at the expense of Alaskan Governor and former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her teenage daughter on his CBS  “The Late Show” on June 8.

During his monologue, Letterman said that Palin and her husband and daughter were recently visiting New York City.  And one of the jokes remarked that one of the hardest things about the trip was keeping Elliot Spitzer (former proscecutor who resigned as Governor of New York after being caught with a prostitute) away from her daughter.  And as Letterman said on a later show, defending the jokes, “I’m surprised we haven’t heard from Elliot Spitzer, either”.  In another joke, Letterman went on to say that while attending a Ney York Yankees game, Palin’s daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez during the 7th inning stretch.  “I admit these jokes are ugly, but they are just jokes and nothing more than trying to get a cheap laugh which is what I’ve been doing for the last 30 years.  And why haven’t we heard from Alex Rodriguez?”  Further stating that “These are not jokes made about her 14-year-old daughter.  I would never, never make jokes about raping or having sex of any description with a 14-year-old girl. I mean, look at my record. It has never happened. I don’t thin it’s funny.  I would never think it was funny. I wouldn’t put it in a joke.”

It is clear to me that Letterman was under the impression that Palin’s 18-year-old daughter Bristol was who he was referring to.  Geeze!!!  Talk about your Liberals freaking out!!!  Besides, we ALL know that  Bristol’s pre-marital adventures have been common knowledge and openly talked and joked about!!  Correct me if I am wrong, and of course I am not wrong,  was Bristol not 17-years-old when the moron got knocked up by her equally moronic boyfriend??   Has the cold of Alaska frozen your brain??  I would suggest that you keep closer tabs on your 14-year-old daughter Willow, so that she doesn’t end up knocked up at 17 like her older sister.

Letterman later invited Sarah Palin and her husband to appear on the show and clear the air.  Both declined immediately.  Of course they did.  Why would either one of them have the balls to face Letterman.  Palin said on June 12 that it was time for people to rise up against Letterman’s form of humor.  And what kind of humor would that be?  Funny humor?  Palin went on to say “No wonder young girls have such low self-esteem in America when we think it’s funny for a so-called comedian to get away with such a remark as he did. I don’t think that’s acceptable.”  letterman

So, if I’m to understand correctly, young girls have such low self-esteem in America today and your daughter Bristol got pregnant at 17 because of  “so-called comedians” like David Letterman.  So, as parents, you have no responsibility for the well-being of your children and making sure your 17-year-old daughters don’t get pregnant while they are still in high school??

THIS MORON COULD HAVE BEEN OUR VICE PRESIDENT, PEOPLE!!!

Until Next Time!!
