The divorce bill gained official approval Thursday night, meaning couples are now, finally, allowed to split up solely by mutual consent. Albany also approved a bill covering domestic workers by the law against sexual harassment or abuse, and providing them temporary disability benefits, unemployment insurance and overtime.

Source: E! Online (US) - Top Stories | 1 Jul 2010 | 5:15 pm Dave, Jay, and Craig Are Mere Cowards Compared to Nick Cannon All across the TV dial, hosts work to entertain their audiences — but how hard are they really trying? They tell some jokes, banter with guests, but it's all so safe. Where is the danger? With the rare exception of Jimmy Fallon injuring himself in a martini race with Chelsea Handler, the most harm these hosts ever face is cutting themselves during a cooking demonstration or getting crapped on by an exotic zoo animal. But not so for Nick Cannon, intrepid host of America's Got Talent! Week after week, he risks his life in the quest for America-based talent: His recruitment as an assistant for stunt competitors always begins the same way, with him nervously displaying "Uh-oh, what are you getting me into?" reticence — but whereas a Joy Behar or Craig Ferguson might take the opportunity to flee, Nick Cannon does not. Nick Cannon recognizes that without his participation, America will never know if it has talent. Last night, a man came out to demonstrate how he could slice a stalk of celery by throwing deadly playing cards. It's hard to build up much drama with vegetables, but what if a human holds the vegetable? Now the stakes are high! Enter Nick, wearily sighing, "Why do they like me risking my life on this show?" And yet on go the safety goggles, and into the line of playing-card fire he goes.

Source: Vulture | 1 Jul 2010 | 4:25 pm James Franco Barely on General Hospital Today! Consider this a public service: After showing up for about five minutes yesterday, James Franco appeared on today's episode of General Hospital for just 30 seconds. Sure, Franco filmed something like 30 episodes of GH in three days, so his screen time per episode ratio can't be all that high, but, still, more than 30 seconds would be appreciated. Today picked up where yesterday's show left off, with Franco lurking around Jason Morgan's lobby getting creepy with the doorman. "Does [Jason] ever ask you to dispose of the body? Or clean up the blood? Or stall the cops," Franco asked in a slow, slurry voice that suggested he has become a serious stoner since his last stint in Port Charles. Then Maxie, the blonde girl Franco slept with a long time ago, who now knows he's a serial killer, spotted him — cue the opening credits! Later, she convinced herself she was imagining things. We hope tomorrow we are not forced to imagine things, and get a good solid seven to ten minutes of Franco time.

According to Radar and TMZ, Mel Gibson's former girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva has audio of the actor saying things like, "You look like a fucking pig in heat and if you get raped by a pack of niggers it will be your fault." Which, if true, is obviously not the kind of thing an already fragile career ("sugar tits") recovers from. Movieline's Kyle Buchanan asks what we also wonder: What becomes of this October's Gibson-starring, Jodie Foster–directed puppet adventure The Beaver, which actually seems like it might be pretty good? Luckily, The Beaver is being made by Twilight studio Summit Entertainment, who can afford the hit, especially after this weekend. But will Foster finally give up on Gibson? Maybe Summit can just sneak this thing into theaters on the day Breaking Dawn comes out and hope nobody notices amid the shrieking.

The 20-year-old Gradoville got her big break when she was handpicked to open and close Prada's fall 2010 collection in Milan. That throws her in the elite company of Kristen McMenamy, Sasha Pivovarova, and Daria Werbowy. A week later, she made an exclusive appearance at the Miu Miu show in Paris.

Source: The Cut | 1 Jul 2010 | 3:45 pm Cuomo: Gay Marriage Can Pass in 2011 Andrew Cuomo was asked by a reporter today if he thought a marriage-equality bill like the one that was defeated in the State Senate this December could pass in 2011. "Do I think it can? Yes," he replied. After the election this fall, state senators will have another reprieve before they have to face the wrath of their constituents (who almost universally loathe them) in two years. Traditionally, it's easier to get sensitive policy issues past the senators if they're not panicked about reelection. Also, Cuomo says gay marriage "is a priority" for him if he gets elected. Not that anything said by anyone heading to work in Albany can be trusted. But Cuomo has come along: When he first ran for governor in 2002, he declared that he supported civil unions over same-sex marriage. Now he's saying passing a marriage-equality bill is "a priority." If only the rest of Albany could grow up a little.

Such is the case with South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham, the Senate's lead Republican maverick after John McCain so famously jettisoned that role in recent years. The head of an anti-illegal-immigration group has actually postulated that Graham was cooperating with Democrats on immigration reform because the Democrats know he's gay and are threatening to blow his cover unless he acts like an actual senator. Of course, Graham has faced such gay rumors for years — he's a bachelor at 54, and displays certain flamboyant qualities which for all we know may just be Southernness — and who knows whether they're true. But in a new New York Times profile, Graham insists they're not. “I know it’s really gonna upset a lot of gay men — I’m sure hundreds of ’em are gonna be jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge — but I ain’t available. I ain’t gay. Sorry.”

Source: Best Week Ever | 1 Jul 2010 | 1:19 pm Does the World Have a Bra Problem? Two extra cup sizes! Helen Reddy recently did an interview with BlogTalkRadio from her home in Sydney. She went on a little rant about whores, Madonna, and the horrors of shopping for bras:
Could it be? Does the world have a serious bra problem that makes it almost impossible to find normal, comfortable bras in all sizes? What is a normal bra, anyway? Bras designed specifically for big breasts quite often come out just looking like harnesses, so the plus-size bra industry is trying to remedy that by making big bras look more like these other bras that Reddy finds so whore-ish. So whose fault is it that this is what people want? The biggest parade of bizarre, trampy lingerie independent of Lady Gaga, in modern times, is probably the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. The store can't be singularly blamed for the age of the slut that befell fashion two years ago, but the items in there have become increasingly ridiculous. Shopping for a bra in Victoria's Secret becomes a tedious cup-squeezing exercise in attempt to find just one with plain foam rounds that aren't buffered by entire Capri Sun packets. But plenty of labels like DKNY make plainer styles. What do you think? Is it impossible to find a good bra that does the job and nothing more?

Source: FOXNews.com | 1 Jul 2010 | 11:10 am Top Chef DC Recap: Capitol Grill? Crapital Hill.This is a Recap of Top Chef D.C. (Season 7), Episode 3, entitled “Capitol Grill”, originally airing June 30, 2010. This thing is full of more spoilers than those FAT KIDS IN WASHINGTON! (I always thought that sounded funnier than fat cats. But them too.) Let’s get started. Hey there’s John! See you in the credits for the next fifteen months, John!
Back at the house, Kenny is reading a card – “Have faith, have hope, and have courage,” says Kenny’s girlfriend Juicy. Her name is “Juicy?” They glossed right over that. “Get with the 90s, Danny dude, that’s what names are now!” – Some Skateboarding Chameleon. The rest of the contestanchefts are busy pairing off into random rivalries: This week’s Quickfire Challenge: Make a pie. In honor of U.S. President Franklin PIE-rce? No, in honor of the upcoming Bravo show Top Chef: Just Desserts, which they have now teased in two out of three episodes of Top Chef: Not Just Desserts. When they announce the name of the show, the Bravo producers activate the electric kitchen floor and shock everyone into clapping for thirty seconds. After the jump, the Three Stooges wealthy opera lady walks in and gets hit by a pie and goes “Well I never, Top Chef!”:
The guest judges for the Quickfire are pastry chef Johnny Iuzzini and Gail “Why does Padma go so far out of her way to always call me ‘Lovely’” Simmons, the hosts of Top Chef: Just Desserts on Bravo! They’re here to find out which chefs will give them their just desserts, and which chefs will be given their just desserts. They still aren’t sure which one is the bad one. The chefs run into some pie-roblems, but fortunately for everyone, Tracey doesn’t know how to put food in things or operate ovens, and just kind of wings it, like you always can in baking. At this point, it’s pretty clear that Tracey isn’t actually a chef, just someone who wandered into the Bravo casting room to show off her “F**k Ohio” bandanna, and a maverick producer saw her and was like “You’ve…got…IT!”, as all maverick producers do. She won’t last much longer in this Recap. Elsewhere, Arnold describes being a pastry chef as being like a “mad scientist,” because you can’t tweak things as you go, you have to measure out beforehand the exact amounts of bubbly green liquid and lightning bolts to bring your monster to life. Elder Stateswoman Lynne proclaims “I’m a teacher, so I don’t need recipe to do desserts,” which I assumed was a classic Top Chef arrogant kiss of death, but it turns out we don’t see her again for the rest of the episode, so I guess she did alright. The judges blow through the contestants at a rate of about two words per three chefs (there really are a lot of human beings still on this television programme), but manage to cause back-to-back super-awkward chef reactions:
Kelly and Stephen are the runners-up, and Kenny wins his first challenge of the season for his “Bananas Foster Pie with Currants & Chinese Five Spice,” which looks awesome. He then cuts it up real fast and everyone goes “KEEENNNNYYYY!!!” and he shrugs. Elimination Challenge!!! Footage of that celery gettin’ chopped and blender noise!!! For the Elimination Challenge, the chefs will have to prepare a picnic lunch at Mount Vernon for a bunch of D.C. interns, so they’ll have to balance the difficulty of preparing food outdoors with the difficulty of dealing with mostly insufferable Type-A people who go out on Thursday nights still dressed up with loosened ties so it looks like they just came from work even though they had more than enough time to change at home. Things are finally startin’ to get Washingtoney! Alex is excited for the challenge, declaring “I’ve never been to Mount Vernon, and I’ve never taken advantage of an intern!” After Alex said this, I took the liberty of inventing Megan’s Law and traveling back in time and making it so it has existed. Wow. We’ll eliminate your molestiomonials soon enough, but in the meantime we’ve got bigger bandannas to fry improperly.
More tension arises in the kitchen when Andrea takes a roast out of an oven and doesn’t tell anyone, because she put her name on that oven. Tom asks her what the commotion was about, and she’s like “Oh, you know, they’re just upset that I used the Top Chef Oven Name Rule.” Tom’s like, “That’s never been a thing, why are you describing it like it’s a thing?” Andrea’s like, “Whatever, I used to have a coke and pills addiction.” Whaaat? You’re supposed to win us over by telling us you’re cooking for your cancer-stricken mother who is also super gay — since when did “coke addiction” become a random colorful factoid people just toss out casually? It ends up working, though, and Andrea finishes in the Top 4 when her ribs OD on flavor. The chefs prepare their food, then set up grills at Mount Vernon for some good old-fashioned George Washington style picnicking. They better have to chop down cherry trees at some point this season. Sidenote: How dumb is that story? Back to regularnote: Alex is happy with his pork butt, proclaiming, “I’d want to eat the ass out of this pig all day.” He is now on the Megan’s Law list for pigs. Some non usual suspects are scuffling, but again, Tracey sets the suck-bar really high by failing to case her sausage in time and deciding to just grill what she has and call it a burger. Everything else becomes moot at this point, and Bravo courteously adds a “Countdown Til Tracey Elimination” clock in the corner. According to the DVR-Buster segment, Tracey also believes she is psychic, meaning she’s just as bad at cooking as she is at knowing which abilities are imaginary. Though she did seem to know she was getting eliminated this week, but that was probably more her knowing her terrible food was terrible.
The Top 4: Angelo, Andrea, Ed, Arnold Masters alum Jonathan Waxman and the regular judges absolutely lay into peoples’ food this week, ripping on just about every dish aside from a standout Top 4. Angelo makes another return to the Winner’s Circle, but he’s joined by two people from last week’s Bottom 4 in Andrea and Ed to shake things up a bit, as well as Arnold, who’s been mostly coasting by in the middle. Arnold ends up scoring the big W for his “Sesame Lamb Meatball with Tabouli Salad and Gazpacho”, even though Angelo shockingly exclaims that Andrea’s ribs were better than his own dish [Bravo Producer: "You have to be the villain! Add 'you f**khole!' " The Bottom 4: Tracey, Stephen, Kevin, Timothy The judges' critiques just got more and more insulting the longer Judge's Table went on, eventually crossing over into personal offendedness, with Tom telling Tracey "If that's what you call Italian food, that's almost insulting to Italians! Me being one!" He also slams Kevin's rice and beans, saying "If that's what you call Puerto Rican food, that's almost insulting to Puerto Ricans! J-Lo being one!" The up-and-down Stephen saves himself with a terrific defense of his bacon-wrapped fish, telling the people in the waiting room [I transcribed this directly]: “They thought it wasn’t realistic that somebody would wrap a fish like that with bacon and grill it at a picnic. I’m like, dude, you know, like, it’s a picnic, what do, you know, like – hello?” Hard to argue with that airtight, Vulcanesque logic. In the end, a personally insulted Tom actually says “All in all, it wasn’t a good day for American chefs.” He then adds, “But the American chef who this day was even worse for was Tracey.” The show’s easiest punching bag is sent packing, and with good cause.
I’m still thinking the Final 3 is gonna be Angelo, Kenny, and Kelly, with Kenny taking it, but we’ve only scratched the surface on the inevitable Reality Show Weeks 3-10 period, where the only drama is to see the precise order in which the contestants who have no shot at winning are let go. At least next week’s episode is a double-elimination. Seeya, Alex! Don’t molest your knives on your way out! Episode 3 thoughts? Anyone not agree that Tracey was the obvious choice to go home? Who’s the next to go? Early Finale Predictions? Leave ‘em all in the comments.
