Don Imus on ABC
Disgraced shock jock Don Imus is back. Six months after being fired by CBS and MSNBC for an on-air racial slur about Rutgers University women’s basketball players, ABC has offered him a new contract.

His dismissal sparked tremendous controversy – he didn’t break the law, but many felt that his comments crossed the line of decency. A similar situation arose just this week, as bounty hunter Duane “Dog” Chapman was caught making racist comments on tape, and production of his TV series was promptly canceled as a result. Was this an appropriate reaction?

Does Imus deserve a second chance? Should racial slurs end careers? Has Imus paid the price for the comments that got him fired? Does he deserve to be back on the airwaves? Will you listen to him?

Seinfeld Returns

Jerry Seinfeld returns to Hollywood
With Jerry Seinfeld's first feature film, Bee Movie, hitting the big screen this weekend it seems like the king of TV sitcoms is trying to make a comeback. But, is an animation film really the way to do it?

Reviews for Bee Movie have been mixed, to say the least. While it's been hailed an animation thrill ride, it's not garnering the same gut-busting laughs as Seinfeld did back in the day. And Jerry seems to have already realized that as rumors circle that he'd like to do yet another "final episode" of the much-loved Seinfeld. But, we've all seen how Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Jason Alexander fared when they tried to make a comeback...

Are you happy to see Jerry Seinfeld back in the Hollywood game? Was it a bad call to return with an animated film?

Greatest Living Genius

Prince is among the top 100 living geniuses
Creators Synectics, a global consulting firm, just revealed their list of the Top 100 Living Geniuses. The genius list was compiled by six experts in creativity and innovation, who then proceeded to score and rank each candidate based on criteria that includes: Paradigm shifting, popular acclaim, intellectual power, achievement, and cultural importance. Only three Americans ranked in the top 10 (George Soros, Matt Groening and Philip Glass), but that’s only because all of our energy is focused on Britney Spears.

Though we’re appalled by the fact that both Dolly Parton and J.K. Rowling outranked Quentin Tarantino on the list of 100 living geniuses, we’re more horrified that, sandwiched between Bill Gates and Muhammed Ali, Osama Bin Laden made the list. All in all, the list is scattered and includes everyone from musicians (Prince) to No. 1 ranked chemist, Albert Hoffman.

Join the debate

Who would you have nominated for the list of the 100 living geniuses? How do you define a genius? What would be your criteria? Were the criteria of Creators Synectics wrong? Are you upset to see Osama Bin Laden on the list?

The cast of Roommates on MySpace TV
The rising popularity of internet television -- as seen with the launch of Rommates on MySpace TV -- is just another blow to network TV. People are rarely tuning in to their tubes on weeknights because they're finding other places to get their entertainment fixes -- like through DVDs, online television shows and torrents. But does this new trend spell the end of broadcast television as we know it?

Do you still watch broadcast television? If not, do you miss it? What sources do you get your entertainment from?

Are you a mile high club member?
Singapore Air is the first operator of the new Airbus A380, which offers passengers 12 first-class suites with the world's first airborne double beds. They've requested that passengers refrain from having sex in the private suites, which are not soundproof. However, with a private room and endless champagne, passengers are complaining that not only has Singapore Airlines provided the ultimate "romantic setting," but they're infringing on a passenger's right to "do what comes naturally."

Join the debate

Should the airline be imposing such restrictions on its passengers? Would you want to have sex on an airplane? Or are you already a member of the Mile High Club?

It's possible to come up with a great last-minute Halloween costume
Halloween is here again... but do you have a costume yet?

To save our readers from the inevitable last-minute hell of trying to come up with a disguise that’s witty (think Larry “I am your father” Birkhead in a Darth Vader suit), scary -- maybe even sexy (you know you want to show off those biceps) -- we’re opening up today’s blog so you guys can post your Halloween costume ideas and help each other out.

Join the debate

What is the best last-minute costume you’ve ever seen? And the worst? Should Halloween costumes be bloody and gory, or is this your chance to look good? What's your advice for simple and manly costumes that men can feel confident wearing?

Apocalypse Prediction

Will zombies end life on this earth as we know it?
With a barrage of zombie movies and end-of-the-world spoofs circulating Hollywood and our television screens, it's hard to ignore that little voice in the back of our heads that keeps telling us it's all going to come crashing down eventually. Maybe not tomorrow, but definitely at some point down the road.

We all know the theory that the U.S. will bring it all to an explosive end, but do you agree? Maybe a neurological disorder will turn the greater population into flesh-eating zombies, or a blood disease will overpopulate the world with blood-sucking vampires... there are so many possibilities.

Join the debate

How do you think the world will end? Will it be a plague? A huge explosion? Or are we just being nuts and the human race is destined to live forever?

Daily Blog: Conspiracy Theories

Conspiracy theorists attack 9/11
Hecklers recently outburst on Real Time with Bill Maher and during a Bill Clinton speech in Minneapolis, proclaiming that “9/11 is a conspiracy and a fraud” and that the attacks were an “inside job.” Bill Maher manned up and physically initiated the hecklers’ removal, while the troublemakers were simply removed from Clinton’s audience.

We love conspiracy theories. We relish everything from the JFK assassination to the validity of our moon landing to Jimmy Hoffa being buried in Giants Stadium. These incidents raise some question though: Was 9/11 a conspiracy? And, if yes, is this the biggest of all time?

Join the debate

Do you think 9/11 was a conspiracy? Are you a conspiracy theorist? Which conspiracy theory is your favorite? Which conspiracy is the biggest of all time? Are these hecklers exercising their right to free speech, or are they interrupting?

Charisma Carpenter posed for Playboy in June, 2004
It's not enough that we get to see our favorite Hollywood hotties on huge, 40-foot theater screens... No, we also want to see them strip it all away and pose for the pages of Playboy magazine. Then, and only then, are we truly satisfied.

Actresses like Drew Barrymore, Kim Kardashian, Charisma Carpenter, and Kristy Swanson have done the dirty deed -- and we're more than thankful for it. But, what about all the sexy celebrities we're just itching to see grab that coveted cover and bare it all inside?

Join the debate

Which star would you most like to see pose for Playboy? Are there any who have already posed who you'd like to see again?

Scariest Movie?

Jack Nicholson in The Shining
From the menacing chuckle of Chuckie and the bone-chilling hissing of Anthony Hopkins in The Silence of the Lambs to Jack Nicholson's infamous "Heeeere's Johnny!" in The Shining, scary movies have been a mainstay in cinema since films became a social pastime. From "realistic" flicks like The Blair Witch Project to spooky spoofs like Scream, moviegoers are always on the prowl to find the scariest movie.

Join the debate

Which movie is the scariest of all-time? What scares you the most: in-your-face blood and guts or "everyday" people (or dolls in the case of Chuckie) becoming corrupt, blood-thirsty killers?
