The Gong Show announces celebrity judges
The wackiest talent showcase (yes, wackier than America’s Got Talent) is back with Comedy Central’s The Gong Show. Hosted by Comedy Central veteran Dave Attell, The Gong Show will feature seven to ten bizarre acts each episode that will be judged by a rotating panel of celebrities. At the end of each show, the act with the highest score will be crowned the winner.
The premiere episode will be judged by Brian Posehn of Just Shoot Me, Steve Schirripa of The Sopranos, and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. Other judges include Adam Carolla of Drawn Together, Kate Walsh of Private Practice, Andy Dick of Less Than Perfect, Ron White, Dave Navarro, Greg Giraldo, Jim Norton, and JB Smoove of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
I think this is worth a viewing — especially for those of you who can sit through America’s Got Talent. The new Gong Show should be funnier and have even more bizarre acts (none of the touchy-mushy back stories either).
The series premiere of The Gong Show with Dave Attell is on Thursday, July 17th at 10 p.m. ET on Comedy Central.
Sarah Larson Talks About Her "Very Sexy" New Job
Sarah Larson’s relationship with George Clooney may have ended last month, but the gorgeous It girl tells that her budding modeling career is in high gear.
E! News caught up with Larson, 29, at the Lexus Style Villa Sports “Power of H” event Saturday night at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego.
Larson, who attended the party with a girlfriend after walking the red carpet solo, said she signed on last week as the face of a new ad campaign for designer Christian Audigier’s line of couture dresses. “I just shot it a few days ago,” Larson told “The shoot was very sexy and feminine. It was a lot of fun.”
Larson, who earlier this year walked the runway at a fashion show during L.A. Fashion Week, explained why she was walking down Robertson Boulevard amid a frenzy of paparazzi on Thursday. “I was meeting with my agent and all of a sudden tons of photographers showed up. It was out of control.”
Larson, who says she’s splitting her time between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, wasn’t offering up any insights into her split with Clooney, but at the party celebrating Lexus’ line of hybrid cars, Larson revealed her Clooney-esque passion for environmental causes. “I’m looking to buy a hybrid so I wanted to check out some of the cars here,” she said.
Larson was sipping champagne in the VIP area at the Lexus party near newly separated Dylan McDermott (he came with his two kids, no date), NFL’er Matt Leinart and actress Kate Walsh, who dined at Nobu inside the Hard Rock after spending the day watching Tiger Woods compete in the U.S. Open in nearby La Jolla, Calif.
Kate Walsh: Private Practice Panty Shot
Kate Walsh: Private Practice Panty Shot
As if there weren’t enough reasons for female celebrities to be self-conscious around the paparazzi, yesterday Kate Walsh had a mishap that will have people talking for days.
While filming a scene for her hit show Private Practice, Walsh was victimized by a sudden gust of wind when her skirt suddenly flew up exposing her underwear to bystanders.
But like a pro, Kate reacted by reaching back and holding her clothing down so as not to prolong the embarrassing moment. Then she simply laughed it off.
As far as the upcoming Presidential election, Walsh has joined many of her Hollywood peers, and placed her support behind Barack Obama.
She told press, “I think this is a great movement in American history. The American people want a change in their government and Barack Obama is the best person to lead and serve and bring about the real changes people want. I am thrilled.”
