The Major Label Interest In Joseph Linello

Friday, May 9th, 2008

I think if Billie, who is the fabulous commenter over at Knox Views, had a soundtrack it would be written by Joseph Linello.

I can’t tell you how I’ve been laughing through the tears for the past 30 minutes.

He has Major. Label. Interest.

He will tell you this. Repeatedly.

Found at Fark.

I’m speechless. Dogs walking, drama, booze, assault …

I just don’t know what to say.

Seriously.

Update. Ectoplasmosis has the story about the clip. Thank God.

Rather Big News About News In Tennessee

Friday, May 9th, 2008

This is a big deal.

The board of Cincinnati-based E.W. Scripps Co. has approved management’s plan to separate the media company into two public companies, effective July 1.

The board authorized management in October to pursue the separation.

One company, Scripps Networks Interactive Inc., will include the cable networks HGTV, Food Network, DIY Network, Fine Living Network and Great American Country and online comparison shopping sites Shopzilla and uSwitch. The other, E.W. Scripps, will have 10 broadcast television stations and newspapers in 15 U.S. markets, the News Sentinel, Rocky Mountain News in Denver and The Commercial Appeal in Memphis.

Read the rest here.

R. Neal says:

I’m not real good at math, but does this mean the Scripps board puts the value of their cable/interactive business at three times the value of their broadcast TV and print business?

A little bunch of nothing which started making the rounds this afternoon. Or is it something?

Did John Edwards say at the end of this clip from Morning Joe “I just voted for him on Tuesday?”

You decide.

No official endorsement but interesting.

It’s gone beyond family. This lady is creating a nation.

It’s a happy Mother’s Day for an Arkansas woman — she’s pregnant with her 18th child.

Michelle Duggar, 41, is due on New Year’s Day, and the latest addition will join seven sisters and 10 brothers. There are two sets of twins.

Lost: Cabin Fever

Friday, May 9th, 2008

So, if your mom is named Emily then you get to choose an object, and if you choose the right object, you are to become the Island’s next Dalai Lama?

Okay, Carlton Cuse/Damon Lindelof have changed the rules again and my initial reaction is WTF? I’ve also been saying to myself that Destiny is a fickle bitch because that’s what this episode was about.

Let’s talk Lost after the jump.
