Sarah Palin, LL Cool J
Fox News Channel cut a segment about LL Cool J on Sarah Palin's new show after the NCIS: Los Angeles star pointed out that a 2-year-old interview had been "repurposed" for the program.
"Fox lifted an old interview I gave in 2008 to someone else & are misrepresenting to the public in order to promote Sarah Palins Show. WOW," he tweeted Tuesday night.

The Season 3 premiere of USA Network's The 4400 (returning June 11 at 9 pm/ET) is now little more than a week away, but intel on the new season is still hard to come by.

Michael Laungani, The Apprentice
Donald Trump gave Michael Laungani not so much a Bronx cheer but a Rutgers one, when the 29-year-old Chicagoan nearly cost the ill-fated Gold Rush guys their most valuable asset: a bevy of collegiate pom-pom girls. Was Michael simply too nice a guy to play with the reality-TV sharks? (And why does he want to tangle with real sharks?) Here's what he told TVGuide.com the day after his firing.
TVGuide.com: Dude, where did you come from? So many people I've talked to agree that you kinda just appeared out of thin air on Week 7.Michael Laungani: [Chuckles] A lot of people said I was "flying under the radar." I looked at it this way: If flying under the radar means not getting involved in meaningless gossip, self-promotion or pet

Jackson has signed on to send up Morgan Freeman's narration of March of the Penguins in the spoof Farce of the Penguins, Reuters reports.

Here's some good — make that great — news for fin addicts who snickered at Deep Blue Sea and snored through Open Water: After spending years in development hell, Steve Alten's best-selling shark thriller, MEG.: A Novel of Deep Terror, at last is swimming toward the cineplex!
In fact, New Line is fast-tracking the project, with Twister director Jan de Bont on deck to call the shots, for a July 4, 2006 premiere.
Although casting has yet to begin on the megabucks feature — nicknamed "Jurassic Shark" because of the era from which the toothsome predator is held over — the author already has the utmost faith in the flick's real star. (That would be the shark. Hel-lo!) "Like in the novel, the Megalodon that will be used in the movie will be a ghostly albino, her lack of pigment reflecting her ancestors' existence in the depths of the Mariana Trench," he reveals to TVGuide.com. "She'll
