The Consumerist.com just released their annual survey of the WORST commercials in the U.S., and it's safe to say they're all VERY deserving.
Every October, domestic goddess Martha Stewart takes a break from folding napkins into peacocks and instead turns her attention to Halloween, a holiday she adores.
She not only does an elaborate themed issue of her magazine, she tapes a television special as well — and this year, she’s creating a spooky maze from ordinary lawn decorations and showing us how to turn a simple two-car garage into a haunted house. The behind-the-scenes photos from her special are a real treat for fans.
When Rosie O’Donnell took a job at OWN, we bet she never thought she’d be doing tequila shots with network CEO Oprah Winfrey. But at a party for ‘The Rosie Show,’ the pair knocked a few back and the results were, luckily for us, televised in a recent ‘Rosie’ episode.
October 14, 2011 Steve Jobs just passed away last week and the Discovery channel has already rolled out a 1-hour documentary on his life and his impact on the world. That's a pretty quick turnaround if you ask me!
Can you tell me how to get to ‘Occupy Sesame Street’? Grover’s in trouble!

Fans of ‘The Simpsons’ were thrown into a panic a couple of weeks ago when word leaked that the voice actors on the show were holding out for more money. Fox said if they couldn’t come to an agreement this current season would be the last for the show.
There’s happy news though: the show has been renewed for two more seasons — the 24th and 25th seasons, to be exact.
Eddie Murphy hasn’t been on ‘Saturday Night Live’ since 1984, and he hasn’t even participated in the various reunion shows that have happened in the years since he left the show. But he could show up this weekend.
Murphy’s co-star in the new movie ‘Tower Heist’ is Ben Stiller, who just so happens to be hosting this weekend’s ‘SNL.’ Rumors have begun to circulate that Murphy will finally make a cameo appearance on the show.

After just three episodes, NBC has canceled its new drama ‘The Playboy Club.’
The sexy show, which was set in a 1960s-era Chicago and starred Eddie Cibrian, Jenna Dewan-Tatum and Naturi Naughton, was besieged even before its first airing.

October 3, 2011 Andy Rooney made his last appearance as a "regular contributor" on "60 Minutes" last night. Andy is 92, and did "60 Minutes" for the past 33 years.

Fred Rogers died in February 2003, meaning there are nearly nine years’ worth of kids who’ve been born into and grown up in a world without Mister Rogers.
Don’t dwell on it, though — Rogers wouldn’t want you to. Instead, remember the good times with this compilation of Rogers singing his show’s iconic theme song, which he did almost 900 times over the 30+ years that ‘Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood’ was on the air. Best. Neighbor. Ever.
