The Targets - August 30, 2006

Katie Couric's 'CBS Evening News' debut may include Bush interview - "Looking for ways to make a big splash with Katie Couric's debut as "CBS Evening News" anchor, CBS bosses are considering adding President Bush to the mix." -- The show loses credibility before it even airs.

CBS Magazine Slims Down Couric in Photo - "No, Katie Couric didn't suddenly lose 20 pounds. The incoming "CBS Evening News" anchor appears significantly thinner in a network promotional magazine photo thanks to digital airbrushing." -- Ditto and very pathetic.

TOO MUCH HYPE IS DANGEROUS - "WE discuss now Katie overkill. The hopped-up hype preceding The High Holy Day when she steps up to sit down in CBS' anchor chair may be a disservice. There's something inverse about the public or the media or the critics or the whatevers' need to knock down whoever rises that far up. Also, it's already turning some in-house stomachs."

Celebrity Duets: Premiere - "For a Simon Cowell production this wasn't a bad show to watch (and I am NOT a fan of either American Idol or America's Got Talent)."

Will Rosie Make 'The View' Weirder? - "The idea Barbara Walters had for "The View" a decade ago was a multigenerational panel of women hosting something akin to Regis Philbin's "Live" crossed with ABC News' "This Week." It was a great idea, and it worked for years. But lately "The View" seems to be adding "The Jerry Springer Show" to its mix."

Jessica Simpson's New Man: John Mayer - " "She's tiptoeing back into the dating world," a source tells PEOPLE. "It's the first stage. She's never been happier."" -- Gosh, now only if this was important.

Liv Tyler Caught Eating - "Yeah, I know that this photo of Liv Tyler is not very elegant, but I’d rather see pictures of celebrities who eat than pictures of starving skeletons like Nicole Richie."

Tabloid Fantasy League - "Use these tools to help you make good Tabloid Fantasy moves. Gather important celebrity gossip information, see who is so last issue, and use Celebrity Box Scores to make informed decisions." -- A sign of impending doom for the planet. Watch for the comet today.

What's Your Entertainment IQ? -- Why do people even take this quiz?

Baby talk: Are Kidman photos being doctored? - "Are photo agencies manipulating Nicole Kidman’s pictures to make her look pregnant?" -- And why should anyone care?

NANCY VS. MARIA ACCESS CATFIGHT - "The claws are out on the set of Access Hollywood, where an inside source says perky host Nancy O'Dell and sexy correspondent Maria Menounos are each going for the jugular."

Beware the Naked Toe-Tickler - "The naked toe-tickler who exposed himself to several women in Florida over the last five years may be back after a one-year hiatus."

Lured By the 'Rings' - "Fed-up DVD fans decry it as ''double dipping,'' ''triple dipping,'' and right on down the line to quintuple, sextuple and septuple dipping. What are they on about? The increasingly common habit movie companies have of releasing a bare-bones DVD of a film a few months after its theatrical debut, then revisiting it ad nauseam with special editions, extended editions, limited editions, alternate-version editions, and sometimes just plain re-released editions."

Bodies of Work - "The sexiest music-video cameos. Michael Slezak ranks the 10 hottest guest-star appearances of all time; is it Pamela Anderson, Wentworth Miller, or someone else at No. 1?" -- We love countdowns. Ok, I guess I'll agree with the #1.

Danceware for Worship - "Music ministries and music choirs love our praise and worship dancewear featuring angel sleeve dance dresses, turtleneck leotards and unitards and full length skirts for worship."

Universal Lets The Killers, U2 Go Free - " Of course, if it sounds too good to be perfect, it probably is. You'll be able to download music from artists ranging from U2 and The Killers to Eminem and Elton John and play the tunes on Microsoft Windows Media Player-compatible devices, but you can't burn the tracks onto CDs. (Which, in turn, prevents you from uploading said CDs into iTunes and playing them back on an iPod.)" -- Doomed to fail or iPod killer?

Hybrids Bound for Formula One - "Two big players who build such Formula One dream machines, N.Technology S.p.a. and Tatuus s.r.l., have teamed up to build the first hybrid formula car."

The Babykeeper: toilet training with visual aids - "We've seen our fair share of strange and / or gimmicky products around here, but the Babykeeper by Mommysentials has to be one of the creepiest. This contraption allows you to hang your six to eighteen month old infant on the door of a public toilet stall while you, um, do your business." -- Check out the pic.
