The Entertation Index: January 16
Apatow, Judd – The Bridesmaids producer accepted the Critics’ Choice Award for best comedy last Thursday, and took the occasion to address legendary comedian Jerry Lewis’s infamous sexist comments: “Jerry Lewis once said that he didn’t think women were funny, so I’d just like to say, with all respect, ‘(Expletive) you!’” Some were surprised to find out Lewis had made the comments, but far more were shocked to discover that Lewis is still alive.

Awards, Golden Collar – Dog News Daily (yes, there is such a thing) is holding the Golden Collar Awards (yes, there is such a thing) to award five Golden Collars: Best Dog in A Theatrical Film, Best Dog in A Foreign Film, Best Dog in A Direct-to-DVD Film, Best Dog in a Reality Television Series, and Best Dog in a Television Series. The ceremony will be hosted by canine actor Uggie and human actress Penelope Ann Miller. There are so many jokes here that I don’t know where to start, but it seems that the biggest joke is on Penelope Ann Miller.

Kardashian, Kim – A group called the Courage Campaign indicates that reality TV person Kardashian “earned” over $12 million in 2010, but was taxed at a rate just 1% higher than a middle-class Californian.
