Or so he claims during this interview with Paul Rudd from yesterday’s Live!. This excites us immensely, especially if Larry King’s Tweet output is going to diminish once he wraps out of Larry King Live (which is tonight, incidentally). Of course, knowing Regis, his attempts to Tweet will likely involve him punching random buttons on a microwave, trying to complain about how the 2011 Yankees don’t hold a candle to the 1911 squad.

Danza Moment of the Week/Did ’30 Rock’ Rip-Off ‘Taxi’?
It’s a twofer this week with our Tony Danza Moment coinciding with our suspicions over a recent 30 Rock joke. Take a look at the offending excerpt, and then check out a classic clip from Taxi (featuring Mr. Danza), and you decide:
Vodpod videos no longer available.Homage? Plagiarism? Coincidence? Something from Tina Fey’s subconscious? We’ll likely never know.
But perhaps this calls for Danza to guest star on 30 Rock (they’ve exhausted just about everyone else anyway). Maybe as new “TGS” cast member Tony Gargonzola? A new, older love interest for Liz Lemon? A Kabletown rival executive for Jack? The possibilities are limited!
(we should also note that Danza had nothing to do in that Taxi scene besides stand there quietly and doodle on a piece of paper. But if you watch him closely (as we always do) he’s totally breaking by the end. And do you know why? Because his heart is pure)

In Memoriam (Sorta): Jen Carroll
Oh, Jen, you broke our heart. Not because you were eliminated from Top Chef: All-Stars on just the second episode, but because of the way you went out: bitter, rude, disrespectful. Now, Jen, don’t get us wrong, we love your feistiness, your spunk, your proclivity for profanity. There’s very little we enjoy more than a tough broad. And we were delighted that you returned for All-Stars with a renewed determination and confidence, after showing some mental weakness during your first go ’round in Vegas. But Padma Lakshmi is in a Carl’s Jr. commercial, so when you’re in front of the judge’s table you better show her some respect. Be a bitch, just be a classy bitch. Like Jackie O. Or Bea Arthur.
Jen, please pack your Crocs and go.
Looks like the path is even clearer for Professor Ricky Blaise.

‘Survivor Nicaragua’: Use Your Words
Allllllllllright, alright, the penultimate episode of Survivor: Nicaragua is nearly here, so let’s quickly look back at last week’s show.
First off, Benry proved to us, once and for all, that he’s a douche. Completely against our better judgement, we’ve been developing an affinity for Benry over the last few weeks, mostly because he was aligned with our current favorite Fabio, as well as with Dan, who’s won us over despite being physically incapacitated. Also, compared to the sorry group of players left in stock – Sash, Jane, Holly, Chase – Benry looked great by comparison. The lesser of several evils. However, by so easily agreeing to sell out Fabio for his own advancement (in a move that would have only gotten him one, maybe two Tribal Councils further), Benry proved who he really is. A club promoter. Yes, he was honest about that from the start, so shame on us for even giving him the benefit of the doubt. But, to reiterate: DOUCHE.
More: The creepiest reward yet, words of wisdom from Fabio, and our A-B-C of the week, y’all!

Great News!
Ryan Reynolds is back on the market!
Not terribly surprising. You could totally feel the tension between him and Scarlett Johansson here:
Vodpod videos no longer available.Maybe he’ll reconcile with Alanis. That always seemed like a better match to us. They can talk about being Canadian. And about being on Nickelodeon shows as young teenagers. And other topics reflective of a higher level of conversation in general, we’d imagine.
Good luck, Canucks!
UPDATE: US Weekly reports that Reynolds has been “seeking comfort” with an ex. Now who could that be???
