This is not an episode of Punk'd.
Health officials in New York City are suggesting that everyone who was at the Socialista Bar on February 7th (and also on the 8th and the 11th) should get vaccinated for Hepatitis A just in case. A bartender who was working on those days has tested positive for the disease, which is caused by contact with fecal matter and creates an inflammation of the liver.
Why is this story on a TV blog? Well, it just so happens that Demi Moore threw a party for husband Ashton Kutcher on February 7, and guests at the party included Bruce Willis, Grey's Anatomy star Eric Dane, Madonna, Ali Larter, Gwyneth Paltrow, Lucy Liu, Kate Hudson, Lake Bell, Ivanka Trump, and other celebrities. (Side note: doesn't it just make you all warm and gooey inside that Demi and Ashton get along so well with Demi's ex Bruce Willis?)
I wonder if this is what critics mean when they say that Hollywood is infecting America?

Bruce Willis made an unexpected appearance as a Giant Head. I think he's the first non-anchor guy to play that role? Anyway, he did the usual put-downs, telling Jon that Christopher Walken, the night's guest, doesn't really care for him. The Giant Head gag needs to die a quick, silent "Seat of Heat" kind of death. A part of me feels like they're only keeping the joke around because they built that screen for that very purpose. "But if we don't do the Giant Head gag, what will we do with the screen? Put the shadow people back in?!"

And I second that. I'd love to see a Moonlighting reunion movie. Now all Cybill Shepherd has to do is convince Bruce Willis.
Shepherd tells Entertainment Tonight that she still thinks Willis is "hot" and that she would be up for doing Moonlighting again. Of course, Willis is really busy doing movies these days and who knows if he wants to look back like that, especially since the two had a lot of tension on the set (though I think Willis would be more up for it now than, say, 10 years ago).

"
You Don't Know Dick": Time for a Dick Cheney fun fact... Apparently the Vice President has several man-sized safes in his office for everyday business stuff. I believe the word for that is "weird".
"
Decisions '07": I quite enjoyed the spinny quality of this segment, even though Jon didn't quite master it. However, I was mildly disappointed in the audience for not laughing more at "Nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more." Every mention of a Monty Python line deserves nothing less than riotous laughter. It is the law. But, of course, the audience was in stitches over the "
Bong Hits 4 Jesus" banner. Ohh,
Daily Show demographics!

There are many swears that have started to make their way on to television, and I don't mean just HBO and Showtime. I've heard "shit" and "asshole" sprinkled here and there.
But there's still one word that's a no-no, and that's the famous four letter word that begins with the letter "F." It's banned on network television, and I think even on cable you can only get away with it so many times during one show. In the movies there are limits to the number of times it is used and the context (exclamation or verb?).
After the jump are the top ten videos of the word being used on live television. This Digg post lists the Richard Simmons clip as number one, but that's not accurate because they're outtakes, not live segments. Still funny though!

For a while there, Moonlighting was great, wasn't it? It's a show that truly defines the 80s (the clothes, the attitude), it was really fun and clever, and made Bruce Willis an A list star. Sometimes it's easy to forget how SCREWED UP the show got there for a while. Almost every episode had some problem (script delays, fighting between cast members), and there were whole episodes that were affected by a writers strike and episodes where costars Allyce Beasley and Curtis Armstrong had to take over. It was a rather up and down show, especially in the last couple of years. But it was always entertaining and even joked about these delays and problems in a good, wink-wink sort of way.

Former CBS and Fox football announcer (and New York Giants placekicker... just ask my dad how good he was) Pat Summerall has written a new autobiography, and
he talked to Richard Sandomir of the
New York Times about some of what happened to him just after his liver transplant surgery four years ago. It turns out that fatigue and medication made Summerall (right, with former broadcast partner John Madden) think that parts of his body were falling off. And, at one point, he shaved off part of his head with an electric razor in order to look like Bruce Willis. "Why I had to look like Bruce Willis, I don't know," he tells Sandomir. "I'm not a particular fan of his." He was also told by his family that he'd sing "God Bless America" and "Amazing Grace" at the top of his lungs, but he didn't remember doing that.
But Summerall, who is doing radio work for the Dallas Cowboys, feels great now, and wants to call games again. He felt he was "mailing it in" the last four years he was at Fox, a notion that I and most football fans tend to agree with. Good to see he's doing better. I'd love to hear a healthy Summerall in the booth.

Starpulse claims that Cybill Shepherd has "confirmed" a movie adaptation of the TV series
Moonlighting, but if you read the article carefully, she actually didn't confirm anything. She mentions that the show's creator, Glenn Carron, told her he figured out a way to do a movie "that won't be corny." So that's it, it's only a thought in someone's head who may or may not do something with it. However, let's assume that a
Moonlighting reunion movie of some kind was a reality, do you guys think it would be any good? I was too young to appreciate the show when it aired originally, but I later caught reruns and thought it was top notch. It seems like too much time has passed now, so I don't see how they would pull it off.

I always do this. Last night, I was watching
The Fifth Element on TNT even though I own it on DVD. The profanity was edited out and it had commercial breaks, yet I kept watching it instead of putting the DVD in and watching it all the way through. (Probably because Lelu kicks ass!) I've also been known to watch
O Brother, Where Art Thou? and
The Lord of the Rings, even though I also own those on DVD.
Does anybody else do this? What movies do you find yourself watching on TV even though you own the DVD?
