Bizarre Boob: 'Star Wars' Meets Pizza Tossing

By Corina Zappia, Monday, Jan. 22 2007 @ 4:09PM
Categories: Bizarro TV

Last night Eye watched Food Network's Challenge: Pizza Champions and was introduced to flying-pizza acrobatics. Perhaps you are much more familiar with this sport, reader. The Food Network show seemed impressive until she saw a clip of the real pizza acrobatics at the World Pizza Championships held in Italy. Wow. A Star Wars/Darth Vader routine with raw dough, you say?

Bizarre Boob: Tori Spelling's Furby for $359!

By Corina Zappia, Monday, Dec. 11 2006 @ 1:35PM
Categories: Bizarro TV

Many, many reports on Tori Spelling's garage sale from this weekend: Around 300 people showed up at what was officially billed the "Tori Spelling Studio City Estate Sale," filmed for Spelling's VH1 show NoTORIous. Set to bolt LaLa Land's filthy clutches and start up a bed and breakfast with husband Dean McDermott, the happy and preggers Tori desires none of the trappings of Hollywood fame. So suck it, Furby.

Let's see how much Tori's cast-offs fetch on eBay:

The much-discussed Furby, now $359.00.

Hooch espadrilles from Juicy Couture, one of many choice fug selections: $50.

The duck that once knew Tori's bathtub: $6.50; original buyer paid $5. Kmart shoppers, I smell deal.

Bizarre Boob: Scissor Sisters on Daytime Soap

Umusicimages.ca

Eye, lax in catching up on her network press releases, heard about this first via TV Tattle. Scissor Sisters will be making their acting debut on the NBC soap Passions, performing "I Don't Feel Like Dancing." They are, no lie, conjured up by a young witch named Endora, a Scissor Sisters superfan. "In this two-episode arc, young witch Endora (Nicole Cox), a big fan of Scissor Sisters, conjures them up in Tabitha's (Juliet Mills) living room. The band, extremely disoriented, plays their first song and then suddenly disappears into thin air, leaving Endora wanting more."

Update: NBC got back to us and said that it was the Scissor Sisters' management who contacted the show personally. "They're huge fans of the show, especially Anna and Jake," said Kellie Kulikowsky, the press manager for the soap. "Specifically, they requested being in a scene with Tabitha. They love that kind of magical witchery, from what I understand."

Bizarre Boob: I Don't Want to Be a Halloween Slut. I Want to Watch Skinned Muskrats.

There was a debutante in my hometown and even an annual beauty pageant where one lucky girl got to be crowned queen of the beautiful brown river than ran through my city.

But sadly, no muskrats.

Airing on PBS at 12:30 a.m. Halloween night, Muskrat Lovely is a documentary film about the National Outdoor Show in the tight-knit hunting community of Dorchester County, Maryland. Half-beauty pageant, half-skinning contest, it is the only annual city celebration where beauty queens share the stage with skinned rodents.

Here's a trailer from YouTube. WARNING: The first minute or two is violent and not suitable for the squeamish or the occasional muskrat empathizer. FF.

Look tasty? The documentarian has also taken the liberty of including muskrat dish recipes on the film's website.

(A Christmas Story House)

"Only one thing in the world could've dragged me away from the soft glow of electric sex gleaming in the window."—Ralphie

TMZ reports that A Christmas Story, the classic movie on TV every December, will have its own museum and the original house from the movie will be open for tours. The man behind the project and owner of the home, Brian Jones, is a Christmas Story superfan who gave up a corporate job to sell reproductions of the movie's infamous leg lamp. Brings a tear of happiness to Eye of the Potato's..um..eye?
