Courtney Stodden gets kicked out of pumpkin patch for being too sexy. I cannot wait for her reality show, and I am terrible.

Here on PopWatch, I write a lot about women’s issues in pop culture. Body image, right to privacy, exploitation — there really isn’t a topic I don’t like to weigh in on, constantly encouraging female celebrities to dare to be recognized for their talent and brains over their heavily scrutinized bodies. (Just see my sadness over Lindsay Lohan’s reported Playboy shoot earlier today.) So why in God’s name am I so damned excited to watch child bride Courtney Stodden and husband Doug Hutchison’s reality show?
These are two people who stand for everything I stand against: READ FULL STORY »

Who does a better Harry Caray: Will Ferrell or Texas Ranger Derek Holland?
The World Series is happening, and there’s more entertainment than the National Anthem. There’s Texas Rangers’ pitcher Derek Holland, who was asked to do his impersonation of Harry Caray, the late great Chicago Cubs announcer, on-air during last night’s game 5. (He wasn’t pitching, don’t worry.) Watch it below. Then watch Will Ferrell’s standard-setting impression on Saturday Night Live. Whose is better?
To make it truly fair, they’d each have to be saying the same thing. Maybe next time they could each pretend they’re Harry Caray turning down a mother’s request for an autograph for her daughter (who was old enough to idolize but young enough not to realize that’s how he spelled his last name) in the lobby of a Pittsburgh hotel? (I swear I’d let that go until just now.)

Sean Lennon, Rufus Wainwright cover a Madonna song at Occupy Wall Street. Hint: It wasn't 'Vogue'!
Over the weekend, Sean Lennon, Rufus Wainwright, “and a whole bunch of other people” joined the ever-increasing list of artists — which thus far has included the likes of Talib Kweli, Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello, Neutral Milk Hotel’s Jeff Mangum, members of the punk band Anti-Flag, and folk legends Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie — to perform for the protesters taking part in the Occupy Wall Street movement.
On Sunday night, Lennon alerted his Twitter followers (as so many celebrities, like Alec Baldwin and Russell Simmons, have been doing) that he was en route to the downtown Manhattan park, which has become home for many of those involved with OWS. The singer, perhaps following in the footsteps of mother Yoko Ono — who was one of the first famous faces to show her support for OWS (she tweeted after her visit, “I love #OccupyWallStreet As John said, “One hero cannot do it. Each one of us have to be heroes.” And you are. Thank you”) — posted photos of his visit and wrote, “The revolution is televised!” READ FULL STORY »

Keith Olbermann calls Fox News 'political whorehouse'
Liberal gasbag Keith Olbermann got angry at the conservative gasbags at Fox News last night, placing the weekend hosts of Fox & Friends on his ever-expanding “Worst Persons” list. Olbermann described Dave Briggs, Alisyn Camerota, and Clayton Morris as “the B-Team to the weekly dingbats.” He stood on his moral high horse and took the B-Team to task for a segment where they stood on their moral high horse and took someone else to task — in this case, a politically-motivated mother who left her kids at home with her loving husband to join Occupy Wall Street. Camerota accused the woman of being a bad mother. Olbermann said of Camerota: “She has three kids, yet she leaves the house at 4 in the morning to go work at the political whorehouse that is Fox News. I don’t see anybody suggesting they take her kids away!” Thus, over-exaggeration led to more over-exaggeration. Watch the video: READ FULL STORY »

Beyond rich: 'Forbes' names top earners from the afterlife

They say you can’t take it with you, but some leave a lot more behind than others. Forbes unveiled its list of “Top-Earning Dead Celebrities” today, and it came down to two Kings. Once again, King of Pop Michael Jackson took the top spot, earning a massive $170 million this year even as the circumstances of his 2009 death are still examined in court.
In fact, Jackson’s posthumous income made him 2011′s second-highest earning act (dead or alive) after U2. Jackson blew away his closest deceased competitor, King of Rock ‘n’ Roll Elvis Presley (whose $55 million was buoyed by Cirque du Soleil show Viva Elvis) by more than $100 million, thanks to his publishing company Mijac Music. Who else made the list? Read more after the jump. READ FULL STORY »

James Franco's naked butt covers magazine
James Franco is the latest cover boy for Flaunt magazine, and one of the two covers shots features his naked butt. See that NSFW one below. Vulture rightfully asks, “How could it be that this came out two and a half weeks ago and no major site has covered it?” I think it’s partly because nothing James Franco does surprises anyone anymore. But mostly because there’s the feeling that if you’re going to write about his butt being a magazine cover, you should really say something about the heady cover story itself, only you may have no desire to read it.
In short: I genuinely respect that James Franco uses his time learning and creating — it’s so much better than being photographed on daily Starbucks runs — but I don’t always want to hear about what he’s learned or created. Especially when Flaunt sets up the email portion of the interview by saying it “shape-shifted into something almost resembling his art — a journey of dalliances, compass-less and perhaps saying something, perhaps saying nothing at all.” Some people still want to figure Franco out, but I’ll admit what you’re not supposed to, particularly after Franco writes of his varied output, “I don’t think what I’m doing is confusing … What is confusing is that I’m an actor in mainstream film and the people that usually comment on mainstream film are idiots, and they don’t try to think outside of their pop-culture commentaries”: He’s too much work for me. I’d rather use that brainpower elsewhere, somewhere I know that something is being said.

'Hart of Dixie': Wade vs. George! Who belongs with Zoe?

Lately, Hart of Dixie has called into doubt something I thought to be a no-brainer when the pilot aired. Back just a few weeks ago, I thought the show was set up to make me want George (Scott Porter) and Zoe (Rachel Bilson) together — and it succeeded. George obviously loves Lemon (Jaime King) for his own reasons, but Zoe is a much better fit — or so I thought. Over the past few weeks, things have gotten much more complicated, and I now find myself wondering if I’m rooting for Wade (Wilson Bethel). READ FULL STORY »

Kate Winslet reveals she went braless during fiery rescue on Necker Island
Remember that time Kate Winslet was a superhero? If you don’t, the L.A. Times can jog your memory. They caught Winslet’s recent interview on The Graham Norton Show, in which she detailed her brave and bra-less rescue of Richard Branson’s 90-year-old mother from a fire on Branson’s private Necker Island. “It really was like being in a movie,” said Winslet as she hilariously retold the tale. Should we officially start writing up the petition for a Best Anecdotes Oscar category? See Winslet’s full account after the jump. READ FULL STORY »
