Clips from the Britney: For the Record documentary are being leaked on YouTube, prompting Perez Hilton to be all, "EXCLUSIVE!!! WE CAN REVEAL EXCLUSIVELY THAT BRITNEY SAID THIS!!!" even though it's all over the Internets. Anyhoo, there's a big fuss over Brit's admission that she probably married Kevin Federline for less-than-ideal reasons. Gasp!
This earth-shattering revelation overshadows the clips of Brit recording "Womanizer" in the studio — and she sounds just slightly less tone deaf than The Real Housewives of Atlanta's Kim. It's a good thing she's a pro at lip-syncing.
Columnist, author and drinker Christopher Hitchens says a Hillary Clinton appointment to the Obama Cabinet would be a "ludicrous embarrassment for the President and for the country." Among other things, Hitchens notes that Hillary Clinton's race-baiting during her campaign for the Democratic nomination — "Senator Obama’s support among … hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again…" — makes her unfit to serve with America's first half-black president.
Britney Spears rarely says anything as of late that hasn't been approved by her top-notch management team, but the upcoming MTV documentary, Britney: For the Record, looks to be quite revealing — and incredibly sad. It's a wonder so many people still pull for the singer, but there's something about Brit that's just so tragic that you can't help but want to give her a hug and take her out of Hollywood for good.
After the jump, a heartbreaking look into Brit's life, straight from the horse's mouth. CONTINUED »
TYRA STILL MILKING 'TOP MODEL' TRANSGENDER CONTESTANT HYPE • "Tyra Banks surprises Isis King, the first transgender contestant on America's Next Top Model, with sex reassignment surgery in an episode of her talk show to air Tuesday. 'This is not happening!' King, who was born Darrell Walls, says when Banks introduces her to Dr. Marci Bowers, a leading gender reassignment surgeon who has experienced the surgery herself. Bowers is paying for the surgery. … The 22-year-old hadn't gone under the knife yet because she couldn't afford the $20,000 to $35,000 price tag."
The geniuses behind South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, have set their sights on a new group of people to offend: Mormons. The duo will work with one of the creators of Avenue Q to produce a Broadway music based on the lives and loves of the religious group, set to run in 2009. The title? Mormon Musical.
Broadway heartthrob Cheyenne Jackson is already booked to star in the show, which he describes in the most predictable way possible: "It offends everybody but does what South Park does best, which is by the end it comes around and has something great to say."
Aaaaaaand here come the trolls.
Somehow, when Nate Archibald from Gossip Girl can't answer a question correctly about countries and uh, fashion, it somehow comes off adorable and charming. A certain governor from Alaska could have used this video of Chace Crawford answering a Grazia Guy Fashion Quiz as a template for how to field inquiries by Katie Couric.
Last night's TRL finale wasn't quite the circus it proved to be back in its heyday, mainly because the show has been trying way too hard since before Britney Spears took her tumble. Regardless, some of the show's most successful graduates showed up to pay tribute to arguably the best thing MTV ever produced. Tons of photos after the jump. CONTINUED »
And she didn't even need the cover of People to do it.
Having never (so?) publicly discussed her sexual orientation — but having made light of it on stage and on The New Adventures of Old Christine, where her character remains married to Julia Louis-Dreyfus — comedian Wanda Sykes surprised Las Vegas Prop 8 protesters by announcing she is gay and married her wife on Oct. 25.
Why speak up now? Because of Prop 8's passage. "I felt like I was being attacked, personally attacked — our community was attacked. … Now, I gotta get in their face. … I'm proud to be a woman. I'm proud to be a black woman, and I'm proud to be gay."

GOOD NEWS FOR FIVE OF YOU • "Despite reports, Brooke Shields says her NBC drama Lipstick Jungle hasn't been scrapped. … 'Our bosses are saying, "You're not canceled, don't worry. We're just trying to figure out how to make this make sense."'"
Now that there's no more election (or Tina Fey or Amy Poehler), Saturday Night Live got back to the basics this weekend: Surprise celebrity guest stars and men in women's clothing. For this episode (featuring adorable host Paul Rudd), Justin Timberlake showed up to seem likable for five minutes during a skit involving a Beyonce music video shoot. The former boy bander has become quite the tool as of late, but he always manages to be fairly awesome when he's on this show, so we approve.
Good news, everyone! The Hills is coming back for a fifth season! Audrina Patridge confirmed the information to People, and if you're not sold on even more episodes of the "reality" show, just listen to her riveting argument:
At one point, all of us were like, 'No, we don't want to do another season.' I wanted to do more movies, and Whitney moved to New York and she's doing her own spin-off. … We have fun with each other and we've stuck it out this long. We might as well do another one.
Look, nobody loves The Hills more than I do, but even I can admit that it's time to throw in the towel. Nobody cares anymore and the girls are clearly starting to hate each other. This is only going to end badly.

Today marks the end of an ear-piercing, tween-infused era, thanks to the final episode of TRL airing tonight — and it's live, which is more than we can say about it over the past couple of years. Has-been Carson Daly will host the finale, which is fitting because the years he ran the show were the Glory Days for not only Carson but TRL itself. After many years of pimping out boy bands and Britneys, the show took a turn for the worst, no longer filming live, losing host after host, offering a haven for sad tweens who eat their hair — and making life miserable for Mollygood editors who braved the masses for their favorite singers.
After the jump, a look at our favorite moments from the show's 10-year run. CONTINUED »
Jennifer Aniston took some time out from calling Angelina Jolie "uncool" to guest star on 30 Rock. Get this: She played a deranged stalker who is in love with a man who's no longer interested in her. Crazy, right?
Anyway, she did a decent job because there's a select few characters at which Aniston excels — and this is one of them. It still feels like she's playing Rachel at all times, but it worked in this scenario. Unfortunately for the show, her appearance failed to boost ratings in the wake of Oprah's legendary guest appearance from last week. Cue the Brangaloonies and Perez Hilton, who will surely say this is all Jen's fault and she can't do anything right.
How much do you love Anderson Cooper? He's a great news anchor, making a valiant attempt to stay neutral and simply report the news instead of bullying his guests into submission (ahem, Bill O'Reilly), and he manages to take time in his day to enjoy what really matters: reality TV.
Coop stopped by to visit with Jay Leno last night about all things Obama-related, but the main highlight (around 3:10) occurred when he brought up his love affair with The Real Housewives of Atlanta's NeNe. If anyone can get the Silver Fox to do some reality television commentary for Mollygood, let us know.
Which TV drama series is going to go off the air without wrapping storylines or telling the viewers? The network is pretending that everything is fine. The stars continue to smile, and the network continues to promote the show. However, the schedule has been shuffled and show’s writers have been told to clear out their offices.
Update: Gawker thinks it's Pushing Daisies, which is a good Ween song, but a drab television show.
Because the shark has already been jumped in the case of How I Met Your Mother, the producers obviously decided to just throw in the towel and invite as many famewhore guest stars as possible to seal the deal. The latest loser to join the bunch? Kendra Wilkinson.
The former changer of Hugh Hefner's diapers will appear as a magazine cover-version of herself in the same ill-fated episode alongside Spencer Pratt, Heidi Montag and Kim Kardashian.
We're going to start up a collection for CBS — obviously the network is out of its mind and needs all the help it can get, monetary or otherwise.

It's hard watching Anderson Cooper anchor a segment about gay rights — particularly, gay marriage — when he can't even acknowledge where he stands on the issue.
Every week, a bunch of “real” people say really stupid things on reality TV. These are their stories.
