Alarmingly Gaunt Macaulay Culkin... What's Going On??
Oh Macaulay Culkin!
Entertainment Tonight spotted you out and about in NYC and you're looking really thin and shaggy!
Should we be concerned??
Apparently we aren't the first to think something looks off... ET also reached out to the actor's rep about his health, who replied:
"Macaulay Culkin is in perfectly good health."
We hope that's true!
Plus, we think it's time for a new Home Alone installment. A gritty can't-escape-his-past story??
HA!

Didn't even know she had a show
Wanda Sykes is hilarious. Give the bitch a chance.
What!?
That show was HILARIOUS I was laughing the whole time through!!!
dI was shocked on how much i loved the show! Fuck the reviews!
Bummer, I am rooting for her! Go Wanda!
Yep-I watched 10 mins last night and it was really shitty but not as bad as watching Joy Behar on HLN-Now that is a crime against humanity!
Love her!
Black Lesbian does not make you funny. She never was funny, BUT, now she is a Obanna baby sucker.
I like Wanda Sykes, she looks like a good person, but unfortunately I've never found her funny. Because I like her I would like her to do well on her new show, hopefully she gets better at it.
I F ing love Wanda. I completely forgot to set my dvr. Damn!
Yeah, I love Wanda, but the show was sooooo bad I couldn't even watch the whole thing. Hopefully future episodes will improve considerably.
How do you equate one negative review on EW.com with awful reviewS. I am sure there are other negative reviews out there but either cite them if you are going to say reviewS or simply state "an initial review in and it is not a good one for the Wanda Sykes show".
Fuck Wanda Dykes!!!!!!!!!! Her and her queer marriage can go to hell!!
I watched it and thought it was good. It was 1 show. Give it a chance! Wanda is an amazing comedian.
Jesus,one show and people are gonna put down the whole thing?
I will watch it every week. I hope it lasts. She's the best!
I tell you what, she may have been nervous, but I laughed more with the Wanda Sykes show, than I have watching Mad TV in years.
wanda sykes really isn't that funny…
She should change her name to Wanda Sucks.
I only pretend to care about black lesbians to be polite.
I like Wanda but the show was pretty blah most of the times, like what the fu*k was up with the Asian part! LOL
Wanda was great! "George Bush pee'd on everything and people look at Barack Obama like he just zipped up his pants!"
Perfection!
Fox is known for having the oldest, dumbest. rightwing white folks watching so of course they hated hearing the truth for a change.
Rock on Wanda!
why does perez always say 'awful reviews' then only present one example?
She's gay…of course lots of conservative critics would say her show sucks….just for that reason…I find these days I have to just see things for myself and be my own critic…..
while i think her show wasn't exactly great, saying it sucked is going to far.my husband isn't that much of a fan of hers and he was laughing at some of the stuff she said. Once you got past the opening 'GO OBAMA' crap. (although i found most of that shit hilarious).
she's, wanda, is blessed with a magic wand that she somehow got gifted
Not great — but there's lots of other stuff of hers that I think is hilarious.
I used to really like Wanda until I saw her latest stand-up special on HBO.
All she talked about at first was how great Obama was, even though unemployment is the highest it's been since 1983. I never realized how radically racial she was. I am very surprised she is married to a French woman. She even made the comment in her stand-up that she thinks of her "WIFE" as French, before she thinks of her as white, HUH????? GOOD LORD WANDA!!! You are one racist black woman. She has bought into that whole "I'm black and I don't know what Obama stands for, I'm just glad we have a black man in the white house".
UGGGGHHHHH…
Wanda THINK ABOUT WHO YOUR AUDIENCE IS BEFORE you open your mouth, especially when your audience, with your new show will need to have high viewership to stay on. Joy Behar is so annoying, ICK!!!
Needless to say, I won't be watching either one of these idiots!!!
Used to like her, until her mean-spirited "joke" about her wishing Rush died. That's NOT FUNNY, and I don't find her funny anymore. Even people I don't like, I don't wish them dead.
I can't believe it. That show was absolutely hysterically funny and witty. Were these critics watching a different show???
She sucks!
You only linked us to one review…Who cares what some critic thinks. They probably didn't like her to begin with. I thought the show was ok. I like her and I think she will grown into the show. Too bad it is only on once a week. But Fox will treat her as poorly they treated Joan Rivers years ago with the Late Show Starring Joan Rivers. Rivers show was funny, hot, and gave upcoming music and comic talent a shot. I miss seeing Joan Rivers on television. She was the the first woman to have her own late night talk show…that ended way too soon.
Not surprising
I hated it! And I love her so much, but the show was a bomb
I find Wanda funny most of the time. I was looking forward to her new show. Watching it was painful it was so NOT funny. The only enjoyable part was the end during the roundtable of guests. Okay, we get it. You are lesbian, black, married to a white Frenchwoman and have twins. Can we move on, now? Just tell funny jokes we all can relate to and not drive home the differences every damn time we see you. Is she trying to offend? Kathy Griffin has that one cornered already.
Wanda is talented and funny. I'm hoping she grows into the new show and gets better.
I'm so disappointed.
She's very capable .. maybe a talk show is not the correct format for her?
I liked her show.
Gee, one old white dude is considered multiple reviews?
I saw it - she was terrific! I hope she's given the chance to succeed.
I don't mind people expressing their political views, but when it dominates what should be an hour-long show, I get turned off after 15 minutes, even if it's what I believe in. I thought it was going to be more funny Wanda from either stand up or any of the other shows she's been on. I'm not impressed
I wanted to like it but it was not funny. Too much lesbian, Obama , and black references - whatever happened to comedy??
She's cool, but just not very funny. Her humor is the not-so-funny stuff of hate.
Re: VeganVal – She's had HUGE OPPORTUNITY. There are some funny people out there that will never have a shot.
I don't find her funny. I find her unoriginal and completely cliche'. Too bad.
I watched it and LOVED it!
Re: LAChick90209 – Wow, you really need to study Economics, History, and Political Science. Your complete lack of understanding in how policy changes take years to see effects is sad, and your lack of History (and recent History at that) is pathetic. Do you not remember that the economy had already fallen BEFORE Obama got into office? He has only been President for 10 months, it takes usually 2-4 years for policy decisions to come to fruition. What we are seeing now is the result of decisions made when Bush W. was in office. In 2 years if we are in the same position, or worse, THEN you can start blaming the current President. Sheesh, get off the computer and get yourself an education!
WS is not funny at all!
Mario, Perez or whatever he calls himself these days, is a RACIST, and a GOSSIP WHORE with ZERO talent! Ugh!!!
She is funny at times, it's just that her voice is such a turn off! She sounds like Steve Urkel with his nose plugged. After a couple of minutues, I just can't take it anymore.
Too bad you don't put any reviews of your shitfest tour right?
she's not the least but funny and somebody needs to tell her that the "obama is god" stuff is OVER !!
FINALLY A SHOW SHITTIER THAN CRAIG FERGUSON'S LATE SHOW! MAYBE EVEN SHITTIER THAN JIMMY KIMMEL!
GOPdude, Craig Ferguson's show is the best thing on TV. But you have to be smart to get him and you're a republican. Too bad.
I LOVE Wanda, her show "Wanda Does It" was awesome. She's funny on the Christine show. But her special on HBO (I'MA BE ME) and this first talk show…ouch is right. PAINFUL. I agree with the people who commented that the Obama talk is over. We get it, you love him. I don't share her polital views but wanted to find it funny anyway. Well…. after 10 minutes of Obama talk, I stopped the DVR and cancelled the series. If she starts talking about every day stuff, I might come back.
Um,not funny, not innovative, not clever, who cares: what is the definition of humor people? Is this a case of giving a 'minority' (black lesbian female) a shot? let's be really fair: give people a chance NO MATTER WHO THEY are. Radically funny people are all around us: we know them. Why can't the studios find them? We can in our daily lives - am I right?
I think Wanda is a really great comedienne actress, but her stand up leaves a lot to be desired. I watched an HBO comedy special of her live stand up and really…. didn't laugh all that much. Went to go play Farmville in the middle.
I thought it was a great & funny show!!
I laughed a lot!!
Bravo Wanda & Break a leg!!
this shit is payback. A few years ago, she performed in one of my company's event. I heard she was a demanding BITCH. She had us spend thousands of dollars for her & her "friend" for a 1 night performance. Other comendians where more flexible & understood that we are a non-profit org (& these were top named performers). They knew that the $$ we were raising was for charity, she didn't care. I'm glad she failed.
I'm so sorry to hear that. Wanda Sykes is so talented. She just needs to find an appropriate vehicle for herself. Or maybe be a head writer again like on the Chris Rock Show.
It was bad. It looked low budget and wasn't cohesive. Some great ideas but a bit disorganized. A better wardbrobe wouldn't hurt either.
Re: Nowhereville – I graduated from college so you need to get your story straight. Did you know we have had a Democrat majority rule in the House and the Senate since 2006?? Wouldn't matter to you, you are one of those who blame Bush for everything…figures…blame it on someone else…Good Lawd, think for yourself!
too bad her show debu was so rough!
her stand up is freaking HILARIOUS!!!
I cannot decide which show to despise more? Joy or Wanda?
I watched the first half hour with an open mind and then had to say it was the
WORST HALF HOUR DEBUT I HAD EVER SEEN. It was just comedy at it's most mediocre. You have your whole life to come up with your debut show and this is what you come up with? Hire some new writers
very disappointing show
She is annoying and not in the least bit funny. She was on the daily show trying to advertise her show. I am glad it bombed.
Re: Nowhereville – Couldn't agree with you more.Spot on!
Because it WAS awful! And then it became disgusting - funny was nowhere to be found!
I watched it………I was expecting something funny…….instead I got crude………and vulgur…………….I won't be watching any more………..poor Wanda……….she forgot she was funny………and sold herself out to porn
