John Tesh

John Tesh to shut down his fledgling social media website. However, he plans to continue his blog for now since it's hosted by a free online service. "It is truly a bummer because I feel we were making fantastic inroads," Tesh told CAP News during an exclusive collect call phone interview. "We had just about doubled traffic since last May, and that doesn't include all the visits from wife Connie Sellecca.

Tesh said his wife has been extremely supportive of his recent struggles, especially since she hasn't appeared in anything that anyone has ever heard of since the TV show Hotel back in the late '80s. Sellecca has reportedly been trying to break Melissa Gilbert's record for Most Lifetime TV Movie Appearances and is the reward for one of Tesh's recent money-making schemes, "Kissing For Cash."

Tesh's social media site was just the latest project by the musician to stay financially solvent as he continues to watch his popularity wane following his departure from Entertainment Tonight over a decade ago. Other efforts have ranged from a radio show to a daily calendar to free copies of his old CD's that are "just taking up too much space in the upstairs hallway."

Benjamin Carson

The Benjmin Carson Story is a made-for-TV movie that seems tailor-made for the times in which we live. With its core story of a poor boy overcoming tremendous obstacles to become a transformative figure in his profession and the world, the biography, starring Cuba Gooding Jr. as the world-famous Johns Hopkins neurosurgeon, should be perfectly in sync with the Barack Obama zeitgeist.

Carson's saga starts in Detroit with an older brother, a single mother given to bouts of depression and a father who had abandoned the family. Bennie, as he was then called, is an underachiever in school. And unlike many TV movies about people who have lived exemplary lives, the TNT documentary-drama avoids the deadly mistake of treating its character like a saint.

In Carson's case, it led him to Yale and a residency at Johns Hopkins Hospital. And let me praise Carson and the filmmakers one more time for not pulling punches. The film includes some horrible, ugly, jarring moments of racism in which a teaching doctor sought to humiliate and intimidate his only black intern. As marvelous an institution as Hopkins is today, it does have a horrible history of racism, and that is part of the story, too.

Jeremy Clarkson

Jeremy Clarkson the outspoken journalist and BBC Top Gear presenter about the monocular unelected Caledonian who leads the UK. After remarking in Australia that their PM Kevin Rudd looks terrified after seeing the books, Clarkson is reported to have said. “He keeps telling us everything’s fine and he’s saved the world and we know he’s lying, but he’s smooth at telling us.”

Scottish politicians today called for the Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson to be taken off the air until he apologised for calling Gordon Brown a "one-eyed Scottish idiot"."It is an absolute outrage of the worst kind. Disabled people will be up in arms about it, Scottish people will be angry – and it should concern all of us that the prime minister has been accused of lying."

"Everyone should be upset about someone making jokes about someone else's partial blindness and nationality, but knowing Jeremy Clarkson I don't hold out a lot of hope that he will be apologetic," he said."Everyone should be upset about someone making jokes about someone else's partial blindness and nationality, but knowing Jeremy Clarkson I don't hold out a lot of hope that he will be apologetic," he said.
