Court TV does Deep Throat

Zap2it.com gets the scoop on Court TVs newest film project: Deep Throat. Ever since nonagenarian W. Mark Felt came forward as The Man Who Felled Richard Nixon, there's been scramble aplenty to get all the dirt, and apparently, Court TV has just the fix for us media junkies: the made-for-TV docudrama. Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, the reporters with whom Felt made contact, kept his dirty little ...

AP wire [via Yahoo! News] pulled this rabbit out of their hat earlier today: Dave Chappelle met with Comedy Central executives (well, mostly Doug Herzog) this past Friday, after his two performances at LA club Improv.

A suave, tempting doc by the name of Quentin Costa showed up to fix his face, given that Julian couldn't operate due to an AIDS scare.

Fox News abducts your PCS phone

Well, we wish it weren't true. But just when you thought being on the road was an escape from the "Fair and Balanced" commentary at Fox News, Sprint gives them the go ahead to provide news content for their mobile phones.
