...Condi's TV diet. She also watches Law & Order and was a fan of The Bernie Mac Show before its cancellation. But while there are no plans at the moment for a Condi-Taylor duet, Idol fans cast a total of 63.4 million votes Tuesday night - which host Ryan Seacrest pointed out was "more than any President in the history of our country has ever received." And since 35% of American Idol fans believe the votes cast in the singing competition count as much or more than in a Presidential election, maybe those itching for Condi...
...middle-American earnestness to the current Bush administration. But what makes this movie really entertaining is the secret admiration it has for all of the values it pokes fun at; especially its love for the greedy American stereotype it eviscerates, epitomized by Martin Tweed (Hugh Grant), the Simon Cowell/Ryan Seacrest-hybrid host of “American Dreamz,” who is one of the movie’s highlights.Dennis Quaid plays President Stanton, a dead-ringer for George W.

With former red carpet wild cards Joan and Melissa Rivers playing it straight on the TV Guide Channel and by-the-book-boy-host Ryan Seacrest orchestrating a mostly bland crew on E!, the arrivals left us unmoved. Fortunately Seacrest?s co-host Isaac Mizrahi took some chances, like cupping Scarlett Johansson?s breast, ostensibly to check out her dress?s built-in support. Nice save, Isaac...
