Off-Camera at the VMAs: What You Didn't See - "At the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards, some of the most memorable moments happened off-camera. Here's some of what you didn't see:" -- I didn't want to see any of it.
VMAs: Who had the best performance? - "You don't have to tell me I've turned into a cranky old man -- last night's deeply dull MTV Video Music Awards was reminder enough."
NBC turns to Pink for football anthem - "NBC made the interesting choice of pop star Pink to create the network's anthem for Sunday night football. The song is called Waiting All Day for Sunday Night and it's described as "a re-worked version of Joan Jett's I Hate Myself for Loving You. It premieres before NFL football debuts on NBC on Sept. 10." -- Now, while I respect Pink more than say other current pop "artists", I have to question: was this really necessary?

With... CGI revisions. EVERYBODY SIT DOWN, PLEASE. Thank you." -- WTF? This is similar to ruining classic b/w television shows and movies by colorizing them.
Stern: Uncut, Uncensored - "Sirius Satellite Radio announced Thursday that it would broadcast a Labor Day Weekend marathon of the shock jock's classic material culled from more than 23,000 hours and spanning two decades of his radio show."
iTunes Movie Store Details Emerge: $14.99 Per New Movie - "Some hard details regarding Apple's rumored iTunes Movie Store have crept out this morning, with word that Apple will be selling new release movies for $14.99 and back catalog movies for $9.99 perhaps as early as this month, according to reports. Of course, these movies would then be viewable on the iPod. But what use is a movie store if there's no movies?" -- I still do not want to watch a movie on my freakin' iPod!
