I refer to the men on the Sunday crew on F & F as Clayton the Clown and Dave the Doofus. These two are truly he pits.

boogie – Yuppers … That’s what she said … That party girl needs to realize that there’d be no Hollywood of today if it weren’t for the “old people” … And in actuality, it’s the celebutards that are killing Hollywood … The Hollywood of today is NOT the Hollywood that I grew up & worked in …

Yeah, Jenna’s the one that had too much plastic surgery & not enough food …

Ron’s gross … but the guy’s got a Master’s degree in Education … and was a Special Ed teacher in upstate New York before he went into the blue movie biz … Tammy Faye Bakker/Messner actually liked Ron (sans his career) when they were on “The Surreal World” & after …

“Get well or something”??? Good freaking grief. Britney considers Hollywood to be all about Lindsay Lohan, Misha Barton, Paris Hilton & that ilk. The other stuff is just “old people.”

I don’t know much about Jenna Jameson (other than I think she’s the one who mutilated herself with way too much plastic surgery), but Ron Jeremy (gross as he is) actually has a brain and a personality. I’d watch him on F&FWe over Claytoon AND Dave.

boogie – Courtney really did say “Get well or something” … I was shocked … For someone like her who claims to love all things “Hollywood” … She completely disrespected a living legend … And she was standing on that stupid little platform, dancing around like she had to pee and couldn’t wait for the “headlines” segment to be over …

The fact that the idiot quads are still on … as well as filling in for the weekday hosts … is proof positive that Roger Ailes / Bill Shine / John Moody are ALL suffering from senile dementia and have clearing lost all sense of rational & thought processes … If they thought FNC was the laughing stock of the media a few years ago when stupid Jerry Riviera drew that “map” in the sand whilst in Iraq, the idiot quads have pushed the network to an all-time low … Gosh, why not hire Jenna Jameson & Ron Jeremy for F&FW ?? They’d probably do a better job at it … At least, Ron’s got an advanced college degree …

I miss Bill McCuddy. He was very good at his job. He understood that he was “reporting” on total fluff (Hollywood), yet made it interesting, always with a tongue-in-cheek attitude. He was respectful of his subjects, yet had fun with them.

Geez, what has happened to FNC, now that they have messed up on reporting about Hollywood????? Give me Bill McCuddy back! Why did they boot all these competent people, and give us Courntey, Clayton, Dave, Ainsley, Jill…..I cannot stomach CNN/NBC/ABC/MSNBC. Now where shall I get my news? My neighbors, I guess. They are more competent than Courntey/Ainsley. Smarter, too.

Dobson didn’t really work for “Star” in terms of researching and writing stories, but was hired to go on TV and be “the face” of the magazine every time Britney (Spears, not Friel), Paris and Lindsay got stinko drunk/hauled off to rehab/arrested/flashed their junk, and just read other people’s work.

Thank you, tiamatsrevenge, for pointing out how Britney Friel screwed up reporting Paul Newman’s illness and (again) showed disrespect to a legend. At this point, I’d be surprised if this crew of miscreants were ever respectful and appropriate when an older legend is ill or deceased.

McCuddy needs to come back to FNC … The entertainers that he interviewed actually respected him and they got a big kick out of how he would spin the interveiws during the junkets and ask them different questions than the other entertainment reporters would ask …

Jill Dobson was with one of the tabloids before she got hired at FNC … and I’d regularly see her on CNN / MSNBC / etc … talking about the latest celebrity gossip … It was never hard hitting celeb news …

One of McCuddy’s best skills was doing the celeb retrospectives when a celeb had passed away … He had built a longtime relationship with those in the entertainment industry & you could hear the sadness in his voice in those segments …

The retrospective quality is something that Courtney can’t master … When reading a news bit about Paul Newman dropping out of directing a play because he’s sick, she was all “Get well soon or something” and was doing the Pee-Pee dance at the time … Most insiders say that Paul’s got cancer … Courtney completely disrespected the man …

Friel was hired as an entertainment correspondent, with most of her duties supposedly on the dotcom side of operations. But then things went horribly awry. I think it may have had to do with Kiran Chetry being abruptly bounced from the network.

McCuddy and Bernhard did interviews, while Dobson just sits there and in that ucky voice breathlessly tells us the latest breaking news from Hollyweird.

I assume, but have no idea whatsoever, that FNC couldn’t reach a contract deal with either McCuddy and Bernhard and signed Dobson to fill the spot. I believe Friel was already on staff so TPTB must not have thunk she could handle much more than “Lips & Ears”.

Filling in for Shep? Nah, think bigger. I’m just waiting for the inevitable day that I turn on our TV @ 6:00 on a weekday and hear “Welcome to Special Report with Brit Hume. Sitting in for Brit Hume tonight is Courtney Friel.”

Or maybe she can do Chris Wallace’s Sunday show on the broadcast network.

Anyway, Al Davis, I think that the bimbosity is already infiltrating the rest of FNC. Jill “Can’t Pronounce the Word ‘Picture’” Dobson is another example. Who’s the idiot who decided that FNC not only needs Britney, but also a full-time “entertainment correspondent” in the person of Dobson?
