Porn Star Janine Battling Jesse James, Sandra Bullock For Daughter

2psjan.jpgAdult superstar Janine Lindemulder is out of federal custody and is fighting for parental custody of her 5-year-old daughter Sunny. Lindemulder's ex-husband Jesse James and his wife, actress Sandra Bullock, were granted temporary custody of the child earlier this year when Lindemulder entered prison for tax evasion. The couple now hopes to gain full custody of the child. From ABC News:

"What would give her the right to take away my daughter?" Lindemulder said. "You know, this is my daughter. I am the best mother I can be."

Lindemulder, who has appeared in more than 100 adult films, acknowledged making "horrific choices in the past" but says her life is back on track and that she deserves to keep custody of her daughter.

Bullock and James have called Lindemulder and her new husband, also a convicted felon, unfit.

In a letter to the judge at Lindemulder's sentencing, Bullock raised concerns about the girl's safety, alleging that the child was left alone during the day while Lindemulder was "asleep from drug use."

Interestingly, the article also quotes Lindemulder as saying she is no longer allowed to work in the Adult Industry. Is this a condition of her parole, and if so, how can it be legal? Certainly the courts would never bar a famous mainstream actress from working in Hollywood. We're hoping to learn more.

Where the Dirty Hipsters Are

This spoof of Where the Wild Things Are comes to us from Secret Sauce TV.

Kevin Spacey is a Talented Dude

This was just on Reddit. It's a clip from Inside the Actor's Studio from, we think 2000. James Lipton prompts Kevin Spacey to do a bunch of impersonations including Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, Christopher Walken, Clint Eastwood and Jack Lemmon.

CNN First in News, Last in Ratings, Light on Twitter

Yes, it's official, like Law and Order, CNN has been beaten by its spin off Headline News. It's now fourth in prime time for 24-hour cable news channels. All Things Considered had an interesting piece on it yesterday.

But it also has the second most Twitter followers of all time (the first being Ashton Kutcher) and it barely tweets as Jay Rosen so smartly pointed out.

Ironically we're struck speechless at the thought of having nearly three million followers, an entire news organization and nothing to say.

Nice Font There, That Morning Show

037.jpg
That Morning Show is a fluffy alternative to those who think Good Day LA is too smart and hard-hitting. It's an original program on E!, hosted by Chelsea Cannell, Karla Cavalli and Mark Long and filmed in Orange County.

Uhm, doesn't that "H" look a lot like a "W?"

Is that a Freudian font? Was someone snotty to the graphics guy? If you're going to have the biggest word in the logo be one similar shaped letter to a pre-Shakespearean dirty word for the female anatomy - we'll call it (wait for it) leading with the chin.

"So what do you guys cover on that show?"

"Oh really, are the people nice to work with?"

The Vast Majority of Americans Did Not Watch Jeff Dunham's Show Debut

jeff_dunham.jpgYes, but 7.9 million did. Yes, 7.9 million presumably people watched a man play with puppets for 30-minutes plus commercial breaks. Yes, Jeff Dunham, ventriloquist with his own Comedy Central show just broke their ratings record for a show premier according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Great, now puppet acts, even kind of hacky creepy puppet acts are back. When Larry the Cable Guy hit it big suddenly comedy clubs around the country were flooded with audition tapes from acts like Joey the Pirate, Bill the Mortician and Gabe the Big Rig Mechanic.

So now the "you have your hand up my back side" joke will be an American mainstay for the next decade. You've done this to yourselves people. You get the mediocrity you deserve.

Soupy Sales Dead at 83

trendingsoupy.pngPie-throwing slap stick comedian Soupy Sales has died. We loved him. May he rest in peace.

The weird part of the story is Sales is a trending topic on Twitter. Didn't see that one coming.

LAT obit is here.

FBLA Poll: Will The Heenes Get Their Reality Show?

Gawker has an exclusive by Robert Thomas who admits he helped Richard Heene in his publicity stunt.

Thomas writes:

Bells were ringing; whistles were whistling. I said, "Wow, Richard is using his children as pawns to facilitate a global media hoax that's going to give him enough publicity to temporarily attract A-list celebrity status and hopefully attract a network."

Well, dog fighter and ex-con Michael Vick is getting his own show on BET. The universally despised Octomom got her own show. Does anyone watch Jon and Kate er Kate because they like The Gosselins? Our point being: breaking the law and being horribly unlikable IS how you get on a reality show. Will it work for The Heenes?

  • Mormons Used Reno 911 Drag Queen in Their Ad

    mormonvantee22.png
    We caught a commercial on TV for/from the Mormons about their website. In the spot are average everyday people just chatting about their faith. When who would pop up on the screen but comedian, banjo player, magician and cult favorite, Phil Vantee.

    Church was the original show business. So of course the Latter Day Saints could possibly end up in a fabulous crossover with the Comedy Central improv show Reno 911.

    Did they know they were using the man who played a Jewish, 7-foot tall, hooker, "man with teats," who's capture won the scavenger hunt for the officer and secured him two tickets to watch the execution?

    Drag queen pic after the break.
