The laughter finally died on Last Comic Standing when self-declared spastic stand-up Josh Blue was named the winner. Still, everyone involved with the show is smiling, as the fourth edition of NBC's comedic contest has earned solid ratings and has already been renewed for a fifth round, to air in the summer of 2007. Blue himself is elated (if still stunned) about his victory. (Even competitor Ty Barnett is fine with his runner-up status.) TVGuide.com called the competitive cutups to joke around about their respective runs.
First, Josh....
TVGuide.com: Let me begin by posing a question I'm sure no one else has had the guts to ask you. How's it feel to be the Last Comic Standing? Josh Blue: It's beyond words. It hasn't sunk in yet really.
TVGuide.com: Ty was con

Breakup or no breakup, the reality show must go on. Which is why former best friends Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton can be seen trading places with adventurous housewives on E!'s The Simple Life: 'Til Death Do Us Part (new episodes air Sunday at 10 pm/ET). Here, Richie sets the record straight.
TV Guide: So far this season you've asked a mom if you could give her child sleeping pills, offered to have sex with a pregnant woman's husband and got a good Muslim kid to go bad. Why are you such a troublemaker?
Nicole Richie: It's a character. Paris plays the bombshell who doesn't know a lot of things, and I play the jokester. That's what the show's about. But it's Sea

Brains beat brawn when BJ Averell and Tyler MacNiven won the $1 million prize in The Amazing Race 9. But it turns out the close friends' fun-loving hippie image almost did them in — off camera. How? Read on.
TVGuide.com: We never really saw you guys having to go through customs, but you obviously had to. Did you ever get delayed?Tyler MacNiven: In Japan we got held up in customs because we fit the hippie stereotype. Often you'll have hippie guys try to smuggle in drugs because they're very hard to get in Japan. In customs there we had to go into this backroom to get strip-searched — and it was all in Japanese, like some movie where these officers were getting us naked and going through our bags.BJ Averell: Dogs were sniffing through our bags. Tyler: That

Free RideSo, um, everybody have a good weekend? Cool, cool. Yeah, did some stuff, bought a few things, went some places, watched a really stupid show. Damn, I was gonna try not mentioning that for a while. But come on, the best I got is that Erin Cahill — as Amber — used to be a Pink Ranger. Everyone else on the show? Nothing. The whole comedy thing is ruined by unfunny people saying unfunny lines. Of course, who am I to decide what's funny? Well, I'm the guy not laughing. The guy who could actually quit his job precisely because this show was so unfunny. Not my first job, mind you, but this thing I'm doing right now. If the series — oops, I mean season — finale wasn't right around the corner, I'd be in trouble. I'm also the guy who would s
