Leona Lewis, a contestant on a Simon Cowell + Sharon Osbourne judged American Idol type program, who turns Cowell on so much he made out with Sharon and then dissed Kelly Clarkson, Fantasia, and Carrie Underwood: Across this show, across Idol, across all the other shows. Let's be honest: all the girl singers haven't been very good, until now! You are absolutely the best contestant I have ever had across any of these shows.... more ›

“Dancing With the Stars” (ABC, 8:00 p.m.) Really, is this worth watching anymore without Springer on it? We're hoping for some kind of graphic dance-floor accident, or perhaps a Carrie-at-the-senior-prom reenactment. “Law & Order: Criminal Intent” (NBC, 9:00 p.m.) Liza Minelli makes a cameo appearance in this Halloween-tinged episode. “Veronica Mars” (the CW, 9:00 p.m.) The underground campus casino is robbed in this Halloween-tainted episode. “Frontline/World” (PBS, 9:00 p.m.) The Burmese government conducts a... more ›

"Love Pearl Jam. But Pearl Jam now is like the Gap crowd. The baggy trousers. It's a date. It's nice, lovely music. You know, there is a whole other world out there.

Maybe it's because nobody walks in LA. In New York, people walk their dogs and watch them squat, nonchalantly scooping their pooches' poop when necessary. It took an Angeleno to invent Pet a Potty, the rolling indoor/outdoor grass box that your pup can squat in to do his business. Advertised as a "solution for those walks at inopportune times," handily equipped with a trap pan for liquids, available in artificial or real turf and carrying a price tag of upwards of $200, the Pet a Potty is trying to be far more sexy than a litter box for dogs. Although the company is proud of Sharon Osbourne saying "I think this is absolutely amazing," we think a stronger tag line might come from the musical Fame: "I want to go crazy / like the dogs in the yard."
