Another week of TV has flown by and funny moments were plentiful. Witness a clumsy rescue that goes horribly awry, an embarrassed talk show host deny rumors that she's dating a rapper, a skit that skewers a tween idol, and a snarky robot who storms a red carpet event.

"Geoff Peterson" can be much more than Craig Ferguson's straight man robot on 'The Late Late Show' (weeknights, 12:37AM ET on CBS). He has red-carpet talent: the ability to catch movie stars off-guard, make them laugh and say things like "I love you" (surely something red-carpet reporters rarely hear from celebrities).

At the 'Red' premiere, Geoff made Richard Dreyfuss ponder this: "Which would you rather -- quail hunting with Dick Cheney or carpooling with Mel Gibson?"

Ferguson had advised John Malkovich to slap Geoff when he visited the red carpet. But after a flimsy tap to his face skull, the two hugged and made up. Sylvester Stallone suggested carbohydrates for Geoff and later remarked to Bruce Willis: "Trouble is, we're gonna end up looking like that one day."

But guess which famous (publicity-shy) actress dissed Geoff?

Jimmy Kimmel had a high compliment to pay 'Red' actors Bruce Willis and Karl Urban. His friend "James 'Baby Doll' Dixon" always falls asleep in movies. But during 'Red,' "He was awake through the whole film -- that's how good it was," said the host of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' (weeknights, 12:05AM ET on ABC).

Kimmel asked Willis, "If the movie wasn't good, would you come out and lie?" He nodded sheepishly. "I have lied ... not about this film, but I have."

Karl Urban discussed working with another 'Red' star, the 93-year-old Ernest Borgnine. When a wardrobe girl asked the iconic actor how he stays so sprightly, Borgnine gave a lewd explanation.

After Bruce Willis tells Mary-Louise Parker that fans sometimes respond to him as if they've seen "an alligator fly out of a swamp and start singing Chuck Berry," Parker decides to prank Willis with an actual live alligator on the set of their movie 'Red,' she said on 'Live With Regis and Kelly' (weekdays, syndicated).

By now, unless you live under a rock, you've probably heard that Idol producers and judges have been criticized for publicly and cruelly humiliating earnest, yet physically or mentally-challenged contestants during Idol's two-part Season Premiere. Simon Cowell and Idol producer, Ken Warwick, denied cruelty and defended their inclusion of "challenged" auditioners in last week's telecast, stating "everybody has the right to audition."

Sweet sentiment, guys. Do you really believe this bullshit? Does this help you sleep at night? Because, honestly, you sound as self-deluded as the hapless wannabes you routinely ridicule.
