The Jersey Shoritization of the planet took a huge step forward by converting one of the most influential media personalities on the political landscape. Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh revealed his new religion during a preliminary event at the Miss America Pageant called “Judge the Judges.”
The host introduced the talent portion of the “Judge the Judges” competition, explaining that they would be dancing to Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face.” Rush seemed reluctant at first, but then he must have heard the call because he started convulsing and speaking in fist pumps! I’ll let the video speak for itself…

Last night was the final episode of the first season of MTV’s Teen Mom reality show, which followed the lives of four mothers that were originally on the network’s very popular 16 and Pregnant series last season. I’ve been following the show and making posts all season and although I’ve been quick to poke a little fun at some of the folks in the show (When is Butch getting his own series?!?), I have to confess that when it’s all said and done the series was nothing short of an enlightening documentary.

Conan O’Brien ended his 20-plus years of working for NBC tonight and not only did he do it with class and dignity, he did it with the Godfather of Grunge Neil Young!!
Conan introduced Neil Young by saying that after it was announced that Conan would no longer be the host of The Tonight Show, Neil was the first to call and offer his support. Neil delivered an acoustic performance of “Long May You Run” that must have punched Conan right in the chrome heart.

Big Brother winner Jordan Lloyd and her popular showmance boyfriend Jeff Schroeder will be one of the 11 teams racing nearly 40,000 miles on Season 16 of The Amazing Race, which premieres Feb. 14th on CBS.
The charismatic and charming Jeff and Jordan single double-handedly saved season 11 of another CBS reality show staple, Big Brother, so obviously the network knows when it has a good thing!

America’s favorite Guidos and Guidettes reunited for an entertaining hour of looking back and looking forward on MTV’s Jersey Shore Reunion Special January 21. Up until I watched the reunion I had my doubts that this group could capture lightning in a bottle again in their second season, but despite all of their successes they still seemed to have the capacity to be authentically aggressive and dramatic!

Chinese television may have done a better job, but Pee Wee Herman didn’t disappoint with his hilarious explanation of the NBC / Conan O’Brien fracas using a stuffed giraffe with a shock of red hair, a plush NBC peacock and action toys. With his masterful puppetry skills Mr. Herman is able to simplify and clarify an otherwise complicated legal mess. See for yourself!
The NBC Conan O’Brien tee shirt – everything is fine and dandy when you’re coming, not so great when you’re going.
Conan filmed his next-to-last show as host of The Tonight Show and he still kept the jokes rolling while revealing that he’s taking all this in stride. Conan said of the change: “Obviously this was not our first choice, but I’m determined to make the best of this situation.” Truthfully, this whole mess has inspired…
Some people are a little bored with the realistic love story between The Office’s Jim and Pam, known affectionately by their fans as “Jam,” but others, like the Starcasm team, have fallen in love with these two adorable everypeople.

Amber and Gary continue to slowly, painfully go their separate ways in what seems like a poorly acted version of “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf.” To make it slower and more painful, Amber takes Leah on the worst job interview ever. Maci continues to hope against hope Ryan will locate his initiative and personality. Farrah shops around for a new apartment in hopes of not getting into a domestic dispute that would result in her getting choked and her mother Debra Danielson getting arrested. (Spoiler – Farrah didn’t have any luck. See her mom’s mugshot HERE.) Catelynn and Tyler continue to provide stark contrast by being mature, this time with Tyler seriously considering joining the Air Force and proposing to Catelynn.

Contestant Vienna Girardi dropped a bombshell on The Bachelor‘s Jake Pavelka in Episode 2 of Season 14 of the populary reality competition show. Vienna told Jake that she was in a relationship with her pastor’s son for four years before breaking up with him at age 17. Her ex quickly married after the breakup and caught up in the emotional whirlpool Vienna also got married, eloping with a man she claimed she “didn’t even know.”
In a previous post we revealed that man to be Joshua William Riley. The two were married on September 6, 2005 at which point Vienna changed her name to Vienna Marie Riley. We just received a copy of the Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage – Check it out for yourself!

It’s a good thing that General Larry Platt of “Pants on the Ground” fame didn’t get picked for American Idol, because he’s bigger than that. To kick off his inevitable World Tour 2010, General Platt stopped by The View Monday (January 18) to give a full rendition of “Pants on the Ground.” Thanks to Simon…
Everyone is hopping on board the General Larry Platt train after his historical hysterical performance of “Pants On The Ground” during the Atlanta Auditiona of American Idol last week. The latest rider on the train is Minnesota quarterback Brett Favre, who reportedly told receiver Percy Harvin that he would perform the song in the locker room if the Vikings beat the Arizona Cardinals in their NFL playoff match-up.
As you might have guessed, the Vikings did win and showing once again that scruffy white male celebrities honor their wagers (See: Kiefer Sutherland in a dress) Brett Favre lead his team-mates in a rousing rendition of Platt’s “Pants On The Ground.”

In 2004 Jay Leno felt it was necessary to address the then recent disclosure that he would be handing over The Tonight Show reins to Conan O’Brien in 2009. Leno wanted his audience to understand his conviction as it pertained to this important changing of the guards.
Here’s the last thing he says:
“Because you know when I took this show over, boy there was a lot of animosity between me and Dave and who’s gonna get it, and quite frankly, a lot of … good friendships were permanently damaged. And I don’t want to see anybody ever have to go through that again. Cause this show is like a Dynasty. You hold it, and then you hand it off to the next person. And I don’t want to see all the fighting and all the ‘who’s better?’ and nasty things back and forth in the press so right now, here it is, Conan, it’s yours, see you in 4 years buddy!”

Reminiscent of Michael Corlione’s return to Sicily in The Godfather, the entire cast of MTV’s controversial show Jersey Shore returned to their Guido homeland of Italy Saturday.

James Cameron has directed the two top grossing films of all time with Titanic and Avatar, and it looks like number three is just around the corner! Cameron premiered a digital short of his latest project for an awestruck Lorne Michaels on the January 16 episode of Saturday Night Live.
Avatar was cool and all that, but the special effects of Laser Cats 5 make that movie look like claymation from the ’70s! But don’t take my word for it, see for yourself!
Another episode of Jersey Shore, another dude in an Ed Hardy shirt gets arrested for assault. The twist this time around is that it’s a cast member! Plus – pickle pranks and an Israeli stalker!

As the ratings for Gossip Girl continue to plummet at an alarming rate (backstabbing and uppityness just isn’t as interesting when it goes to college), we continue to see the results of lucrative deals that were inked back when the show was still hip. Case in point: Taylor Momsen’s new perfume and line of cosmetics for Victoria’s Secret called “Love Rocks.” See the zombie-eyed blond starlet pushing her wares at a store that used to be just as hip as Gossip Girl used to be, Hot Topic. Also, an exclusive starcasm sneak peek at another Taylor Momsen beauty product in the works! You won’t believe her eyes when you see it!
Jake Pavelka may have more heartache on the horizon! In addition to Rozlyn Papa, a contestant booted from The Bachelor for an alleged “inappropriate relationship” with a producer on the show, an anonymous source has provided these photographs of contestant Vienna Girardi with a man the source says has been dating Vienna on and off for three years!
The source claims the hunk in the photos is from Vienna’s hometown of Sienna, Florida and that Vienna told her beau “she was going to the bachelor so she can be on TV and to wait for her.” The source also claims that Vienna and he were together the night before she left to be on The Bachelor!

General Larry Platt’s “Pants On The Ground” has taken the nation by storm! DJ Larry P performed the showstopper on American Idol Wednesday night and by Thursday morning there were at least three different remixes going viral! (His performance is here too!)
But all that is just plain silliness. It took the great Canadian Grandfather of Grunge Neil Young to reveal the emotional depths of this song. I almost promise his rendition on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon will bring you to tears:
American Idol had it’s fair share of showstoppers during the Atlanta Auditions Episode Wednesday night including the incomparable “Pants on the Floor” and “Mugshot” Skiiboski. But, the real sweetheart of the Idol rodeo was Stephanie Wolfe, the 19-year-old bridge-jumping country girl from Vonore, TN that twanged out a Southern-fried version of Bob Dylan’s “Wagon Wheel.” The judges were instantly smitten by HillBillie Holiday’s pipes and personality, giving her the coveted Golden Ticket!
Watch the audition and see pictures of Vanessa before she became American Idolly Parton!
January 13 was another sassy night during the last days of The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien. Conan, who is punchy from all the , opened with “I’m Conan O’Brien and I’ve been practicing the phrase ‘Who ordered the mocha-cappucino grande?’” But one of the best parts of the night was when Jack McBrayer stopped…
Conan O’Brien will air his last show January 22, a source tells PEOPLE (via PopEater), which will give him a full week to think of new and funnier ways to humiliate NBC on air. Meanwhile, CoCo’s fans, including Starcasm.net, are rallying behind him online via Facebook and Twitter using a political-style poster image created by…
The fallout from the “inappropriate relationship” scandal on the set of season 14 of The Bachelor goes beyond cast and crew according to Radar Online. The site is reporting that the wife of Ryan Callahan, the producer who allegedly had a fling with contestant Rozlyn Papa, “filed for divorce May 18th 2009 on grounds of irreconcilable differences.” Her name is Stephanie Thorpe and we’ve got photos and angry tweets!
In last night’s episode of The Real World Washington, D.C. “Ty the Tool” and Texas gal Callie were in a conversation about Playboy when he told her “You don’t have to worry, you’re not skinny enough anyway.”
Uh oh.
His statement has sparked a debate about whether or not society is irrationally judgmental when it comes to a woman’s weight. As with 90% of all problems, we at starcasm believe the problem can be settled with… BIKINI PHOTOS! Check out the fun-spirited Callie for yourself and take the poll!
Find out why anti-terrorist tough guy Kiefer Sutherland wore a dress on The Late Show with David Letterman!
Radar Online revealed the name of the producer from The Bachelor that was fired for an alleged inappropriate relationship with contestant Rozlyn Papa. (Read all about that “scandal” HERE.) His name is Tim Callahan and he is an experienced television producer that has worked on such shows as The Bachelor, The Bachelorette,and The Cougar. See photos and a video from a matching defunct myspace account for a Ryan Callahan listing “reality television” as his profession! Could this be the studly dude that beat out Jake Pavelka?!?
There is so much teen mama drama on MTV’s reality series Teen Mom that is seems impossible someone on the show could distract from it, but that’s exactly what Butch, the uber-mulletted father of Tyler and step-father of Catelynn, did during last night’s episode “Standing Up!” Read all about his crazy storyline and his criminal past, including a possible contender for The Celebrity Mugshot Hall of Fame!
It’s Wednesday and that means… Teen Mom full episode! Did you miss last night’s episode or just want to watch all the mama drama again? That’s what we’re here for!
A “brief” recap of Teen Mom Episode 6 “Standing Up:” Amber struggles with receiving financial support from Gary and needing to put Leah in daycare. Ryan continues to prove Newton’s First Law: “An object at rest tends to remain at rest.” Meanwhile Maci seems to get bad advice from a relationship counselor that I think has a crush on Ryan. Farrah silences the haters by doing a number of unselfish things including taking Sophia to the library and talking to her estranged sister. Tyler and Catelynn continue to amaze with their ability to deal with an incomprehensibly bizarre situation at home as (let’s see if I can get this right) Tyler’s dad Butch gets in a fight with Catelynn’s mom and comes to stay with his ex-wife (Tyler’s mom). Also, Butch goes to court to see if he can avoid prison after violating his parole.

Conan O’Brien released a statement today saying that he refuses to stay with “The Tonight Show” if it’s moved to a 12:05 a.m. time slot, because really, that wouldn’t make it the “The Tonight Show” anymore, and would lead to the destruction of the show as an institution started by Johnny Carson. Also, he’s justifiably…
Kim Zolciak needs to buy herself an extra fancy bottle of wine tonight and a new skin-tight dress to celebrate, because all the Real Housewives want to be her, including New York Mistress of Decorum LuAnn deLesseps.
