For a while Howard Stern called Jackie Mason the greatest stand-up comedian ever, but he eventually had to include Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock. In a valiant effort to flush his credibility down the drain, Mason has produced dozens of video blogs that he has uploaded on YouTube under the username TheUltimateJew. When he isn't rattling on while on a treadmill, owning every bit of the old man that he's become, he attacks Keith... more ›

Rosie O' Donnell learned a hard lesson this week: Don't mess with the cute, ultra-conservative on The View. There's a reason why Elisabeth Hasselback was a Survivor finalist. She may look all prim, proper and meek, but say anything bad about her bf George W, and she's probably temped to take your eyes out with toothpicks and have them as hors d'oeuvres. Donald Trump be damned--Rosie O'Donnell finally met her match. more ›

Last night we showed you the Rosie O'Donnell vs Elisabeth Hasslebeck catfight. We felt sorta lame posting it because it was already 14 hours old and figured everyone had seen it by then, but today it was the most popular post all day on LAist. During the onslaught of traffic we got an email asking if we saw what happened to Elisabeth right after the break. Whaaaat? Apparently Alicia Silverstone, despite being a vegan... more ›

You'd think with all the tee vee we watch, and as large as our hard drive is (nudge nudge wink wink say no more say no more), The View and their attention-starved hosts would be a show we'd have on Season Pass. But no. Therefore when we heard that Rosie O'Donnell went back on her promise not to attack Elisabeth Hasselbeck - now that she'd been knocked up again - and indeed had our... more ›

To be honest we've been super busy today with meetings and last minute re-gifting and trying to shake whatever little bug blew into town with those cold gusts, so we don't know why Rosie O'Donnell is pissed that Donald Trump gave his drunken, hot, Miss USA a second chance the day after her birthday and a few days before Kwanzaa. But Rosie's talking hella shit about Trump, but no one can bash you like... more ›

Monday we posted a video clip of Kelly Ripa and special guest host Clay Aiken. While Kelly was interviewing "Dancing with the Stars" winners, Aiken covered Ripa's mouth so he could ask a question. Ripa objected and told Aiken that she didn't know where his hand had been. Most people, including Rosie O'Donnell, assumed that Ripa was referring to Aiken's alleged penchant for "fisting" men... whatever "fisting" is... Yesterday Ripa called into "The View"... more ›
