The Entertation Index: October 18

Kinda makes sense, really.

Dogg, Snoop — Rapper Snoop Dogg, who once crooned the classic Chronic line “1-8-7 with my d*ck in your mouth” is encouraging fans to put something else in their mouths: Hot Pockets. D-O-double-G has recorded a promotional video for the microwaveable snacks called — wait for it — “Pocket Like It’s Hot.” Yes, seriously. May the sommelier recommend pairing this with Dr. Dre’s similarly cash-grabbing Dr. Pepper commercial for dinner tonight?

Factor, X — Fox announced Tuesday that beginning in November, former X Factor host Steve Jones will be replaced by the only two people who can handle such a weighty and magnificent challenge — Mario Lopez and Khloe Kardashian Odom. If you don’t already watch The X Factor, the following news may mean nothing to you; however, if you are a seasoned X Factor viewer, rest assured this change will be barely noticeable because you’re already used to watching a load of crap.

Trump, Donald — Celebrity Apprentice host and perpetual self-aggrandizer Donald Trump has apparently reached the pinnacle of importance as per a comment he tweeted on Wednesday stating “My twitter has become so powerful that I can actually make my enemies tell the truth.” In response, Donald Trump’s enemies all shrugged, remarking “What, you thought we were lying when we said we hated you? Congratulations, Wonder Woman.”

Zarin, Jill — The former Real Housewives of New York City star has opened up to Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Bravo talk show host Andy Cohen about her firing after season four, saying that she was “heartbroken” and the ousting “felt like my funeral,” even going so far to rue the consequences on her dog Ginger. Hey Jill, chin up! We hear there’s an opening at Coupon Cabin.
