If you thought rumors of a concert tour featuring a hologram version of the late Amy Winehouse seemed too good to be true \u2014 or perhaps creepy \u2014 you would be correct.<\/p>\n
Last week, the UK newspaper The Sun reported that billionaire Alki David was planning to use 3-D computer technology plus an orchestra to bring the singer back to the stage.<\/p>\n
The same high-tech method was used to resurrect murdered rapper Tupac Shakur for the Coachella festival in 2012.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately for Winehouse fans, her dad, Mitch, who controls her image, made it very clear on Twitter they won\u2019t get to watch her perform \u201clive\u201d anytime soon:<\/p>\n
No truth in the Hologram story. Utter rubbish as usual. Mitch \u2014 mitch winehouse (@mitchwinehouse) March 29, 2014<\/em> Watch: Joan Rivers back on \u2018Tonight Show\u2019 after 26 years, cracks Holocaust, genitalia jokes<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s been 26 years since Joan Rivers has been on \u201cThe Tonight Show,\u201d and in the meantime, it seems, she\u2019s been working diligently on Holocaust and vagina jokes.<\/p>\n Rivers technically returned to the show for the first time since being banned by Johnny Carson nearly three decades ago for Jimmy Fallon\u2019s inaugural episode. But that was just a cameo. Last Thursday night, she actually sat down with the new host, who cringed for a significant part of the seven-minute chat.<\/p>\n It wasn\u2019t all jaw-droppingly shocking, though. Tamer moments included Fallon producing a photo of a young, pre-plasticized Rivers from her second-ever \u201cTonight Show\u201d visit and Rivers talking about ideas she pitched to the \u201cTonight Show\u201d during her ban, including \u201ca Jewish religious show called \u2018700 Club And That\u2019s My Final Offer.\u201d Not a penny more!<\/p>\n Check out the whole thing here. What to do when a key player on your hit series has one foot out the door? Invoke your bubbe at her most manipulative. At least that\u2019s the route \u201cThe Good Wife\u201d star Julianna Margulies took when trying to convince co-star and friend Josh Charles to stay on the show, Entertainment Weekly reports.<\/p>\n At a Charlie Rose-moderated panel discussion, the conversation turned to Charles and his \u201dGood Wife\u201d contract, which expired at the end of the fourth season. Charles was feeling \u201cfried\u201d and ready for something new. Well, that didn\u2019t exactly sit well with Margulies.<\/p>\n \u201cI called Josh, and I gave him terrible Jew guilt,\u201d the Jewish actress said. \u201cI knew he was about to get married and I said, \u2018Josh, how about this? Fifteen episodes? Think about it. Money in the bank for 15 episodes. You\u2019re about to get married. Do you know how expensive it is to have a baby in New York?\u2019 I went right to the kid thing.\u201d<\/p>\n And the school thing: \u201cWe were looking at kindergarten for our son at the time, and I was like, \u2018Do you know how much private school is in New York?\u2019 I went on this whole thing about kids and family, and he was like, \u2018Well, 15? Let me think about that.\u2019 And I said, \u2018And two directing slots!\u2019<\/p>\n It worked. Now Margulies can start pressuring her friends to make that baby. From the music to the editing to the way the host paces himself and interrupts his guests, \u201cPedestrians In Bars Eating Toffee\u201d (featured on CollegeHumor and Laughing Squid) is very much a spot-on spoof of Jerry Seinfeld\u2019s \u201cComedians in Cars Getting Coffee.\u201d Our favorite moment: Mid-toffee munching, Jerry stand-in Gabe begins flossing. Samuel, this episode\u2019s guest, doesn\u2019t like flossing. It makes his gums bleed.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat kind of torturous exercise do you think flossing is?\u201d Gabe asks, after pointing out that gums bleed when they are unhealthy, not because flossing is bad.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m Jewish,\u201d Samuel offers up as a response.
\nSorry guys.<\/p>\n
