Host of “The Daily Show,” Jon Stewart, got into a heated debate with Bill Bennett over the issue of gay marriage. Jon pretty much bends Bennett over (figuratively) and gives him a verbal beating. Sit back and watch.

Steph Tanner To Host Striptease Show by amit

After completing charity work in New Orleans, Steph “Give Me Meth” Tanner, sometimes known as Jodie Sweetin, makes a return to television. The middle Tanner has signed with FUSE network to host a stripper show called, get ready for this, “Pants-Off Dance-Off.” Once you’ve recovered from the title, listen to the premise. Ordinary people of all ages strip to their favorite music videos. The Tube predicts the season series will culminate with a 500 lbs woman ripping her clothes off to Meatloaf’s “I’d Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That).” According to Page 6, FUSE hired the Meth Queen so she’d use her fake TV family connections and invite the Olsen twins to do a striptease. Good luck with that lost cause.

Rough translation: “Meth is My Anti-Drug”

Golden Arches, Golden Ads by amit

America is fat. But celebrities aren’t. That’s why the #2 reason for the country’s largeness, McDonald’s, (Poptarts are a surprising #1. I eat 12 for brunch everyday) has signed supermodel and wife to Seal, Heidi Klum, to be the face and buns of the burger giant. According to the NY Daily News, McDonald’s spokesman Alexander Schramm wanted Klum because she “is the best partner. She’s a young mother and represents modern lifestyle.” McDonald’s is crossing their pudgy fingers Klum improves their image after movies like Supersize Me and the up-coming Fast Food Nation have shined an over-sized light on the negative aspects of their foods. Here are her first few print ads out of Germany.

“Mmmm. I can’t wait to purge for dessert.”

But what the U.S. doesn’t know and what C&V just learned is that McDonald’s “tasted” a few other celebrities before choosing Heidi Klum. Join us as we debut exclusive ads never used by McDonald’s.

“LOST” Dog Gets Website by amit

Our loyal reader, Red, sent us an interesting website. Apparently, Vincent, the yellow retriever from the ABC show “LOST,” may have his own website “supported by the Hanso Foundation.” On the site one can learn about real-life yellow retrievers and their apparent clairvoyant abilities through a timeline and an odd comic book. There’s no real mention of Vincent, but the faux doctor on the site is coincidentally named “Dr. Vincent ‘Wally’ Bolé.” “Wally” as in Walter? Hmmm. Maybe Vincent the dog, the most mysterious and absent character on the show, will have a significant role coming up. “LOST” returns with its third season this fall.
