The Entertation Index: May 19

Bieber, Justin – For this year’s Black Entertainment Television Awards, Justin Bieber, a 16-year-old white Canadian boy, has been nominated in the Best New Artist category.  Please discuss.

Cooper, Anderson – The popular CNN personality gave a commencement speech at Tulane Saturday, in which he essentially advised graduates to wake up drunk in someone else’s bed the morning after graduation.  If by “wake up” he meant “regain consciousness,” and by “in someone else’s bed the morning after graduation” he meant “a month later in a Panamanian prison with the nickname ‘El Guapo’,” I guess I took his advice.  Thanks, AC!

Fox, Megan – A TBTS Index favorite, Fox had been quiet for a while but is back with an interview in Allure (on newsstands May25).  She professes to being OCD, especially about germs: “Putting my mouth where a million other mouths have been, just knowing all the bacteria that you carry in your mouth? Ucch!”  It is unclear whether she was referring to restaurant silverware or Shia LaBeouf.

Hefner, Hugh – Karissa and Kristina Shannon, for some reason known as the Shannon Twins, have moved off the Playboy grounds entirely.  Apparently Hef did not like them living in the Playmate house while being seen dating other men.  More likely, though, is that he is no longer able to lift a shotgun to intimidate his daughter substitutes’ girlfriends’ potential suitors.

Lohan, Lindsay – As we always say, “the troubled starlet” is reportedly dating 36-year-old photographer Indrani.  Here’s to the couple, whom we wish weeks of happiness that somehow doesn’t end with a drink thrown in someone’s face at a posh metropolitan bar.

Sweet Dreams!

Sheen, Charlie – CBS has re-signed Sheen to another two seasons of Two and A Half Men for an undisclosed amount (he had asked for $2 million per episode).  At first I read this as “resigned”, not “re-signed.”  There is no way to put a good spin on this.  Our condolences to everyone who likes to laugh at things that are funny.
