Lindsay Lohan Switched Seats at MTV Movie Awards to Avoid Dr. Drew

The elaborately orchestrated seating arrangements did not go as planned at the MTV Movie Awards Sunday when Lindsay Lohan discovered she was seated next to Dr. Drew and switched seats. Seems like a shameless attempt for a awkward photo op by MTV, but it sounds like Dr. Drew wanted to sit next to her. After a media tiff in April when Dr. Drew speculated what he'd do if he were Lindsay's father Read more

Are Real-Life Interventions Like the Show Intervention?

I've come clean before about my addiction to the TV show Intervention. Though I've mostly weaned myself from regular Monday viewings, I caught last night's episode about a dad addicted to crack, and the old familiar format made me wonder: is a real-life intervention anything like the show Intervention?

Funny or Die Intervention Parody

Exploitation. Voyeurism. Tears. There are all sorts of reasons to tune into A&E's Intervention. Maybe it's because it capitalizes on people at their lowest of lows that we cannot help but feel a twinge of guilt for tuning in again . . . and again. Its viewers are certainly a loyal bunch — some people (mostly them) would go as far as to say addicted. Now Funny or Die has given the obsessive Read more

Does This Reality Go Too Far?

My new favorite show, Intervention, is gaining popularity by the second. It's the show I can't wait to discuss with my friends the next day and even though the people depicted are troubled and in dire need of help, I'm fascinated each and every episode. Of course reality TV isn't anything new, but this documentary takes the reality to a whole other level. A recent article in The New York Times Read more

Song of the Day: Arcade Fire, "Intervention"

Rarely has a record unified indie-rockers like the Arcade Fire's Funeral did when it was released in 2004. For months, you couldn't walk into a hipster party without hearing the Montreal band's sweeping orchestral rock, and even detractors had to admit the music was pretty darn different. Needless to say, the band's follow-up album, called Neon Bible and due in March or April, is one of the most Read more
