Everything I’ve learned about Hollywood, I’ve learned from ‘Shark Week’ on the Discovery Channel. The chumming. The hunting. The feeding frenzy. The predatory attacks on the unsuspecting. Hmm, sounds a lot like Ari Emanuel’s hit on Jim Wiatt. So set your DVRs for the week of August 2nd when the 22nd Shark Week returns.

I always love Shark Week. So informative and yet so much fun!
Remember, Nikki: “Live every week like it’s Shark Week.”
You have no room to criticize Jimmy Fallon (or even Carrot Top, for that matter) with this lame attempt at comedy.
Not fresh and not even worth a chuckle.
Stick to the news, please.
Dear Chriss -
Eat a dick. I’d like to see your blog you backseat self-righteous hack.
I gotta agree with Chriss.
At least you didn’t call it Hollyweird.
i think its cute… and didn’t waste too much of my time. DVR set
Tom-
Only on holidays and special occasions, but thank you for the suggestion.
You’d like to see my blog, I’d like to see yours; we should really meet up and converse. You sound fun!
Seriously though, I come here for the news; all the unnecessary editorializing and attempts at “cute” irritate me.
At least she didn’t tell the less-than-Golden-Oldie about the agent who falls into the shark tank and is ignored by the sharks out of professional courtesy.
Nikki – your blog, your rules. End of story. And your blog is numero uno for Hollywood info.
alright nikki, postin’ shark week. i love it. if anything saves television as we used to know it, it’ll be shark week…
Oh cut the smartypanted one some slack please!
In my book she gets a lifetime pass on Yuk Yuk bad gags,
she’s the glowing pearl in the tight-lipped clam on the rocky reef of entertainment.
Oh the irony! On this site its shark week every week and the comments section is just another form of chumming the water. While the humor is appreciated, the reality is that this is a shark joke told by a shark.
Tom: Wow, you need to go outside more and meet the real world. I agree with Chriss, you sound as much fun as a barrel full of sharks.
/Part of the real world
//Not a part of the entertainment industry
///Assume this will not make it to “live”, but will have at least one reader…
You.
