As payback for using the song "Eye of the Tiger" without permission—or as Stephen Colbert put it, "An eye for an eye of the tiger"—Bickler read Gingrich's book A Nation Like No Other to the tune of "Eye of the Tiger." more ›

While one musician sues Gingrich for copyright infringement, his Survivor bandmate says, “This is not for any one political candidate. This is for the world!” more ›

In his desire to rise up, back on the street, Newt Gingrich took his chances on Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger" as his campaign theme. The musicians were not amused, and they're seeking an injunction to prevent Gingrich from using the tune. more ›

Oh, sweet teensy tiny baby Jesus, words really don't do this justice. All we're gonna ask is: When exactly did Jake Busey dye his hair and start fronting Survivor? OK, OK, one more thing: Wouldn't it be awesome if, in fact, Survivor had a dude who did nothing but play tambourine? Ah, in a perfect world....

LAist is experimenting with blogging dates from J-Date, but finds the best men are found offline. Some date vicariously online and that is one reason why porn is big -- really freaking big -- so they ask if they should cover XXX since the heart of it lays in the city's San Fernando Valley.

We’re rooting for Rob and Ambah as much as we’re rooting for Chris Sligh. We’re looking forward to "America’s Next Top Model" as much as we’re looking forward to answers on "Lost." more ›

Chicagoist knows good reality TV when we see it, and this past "Survivor" was the best season since Boston Rob and Ambah fell in love and won the All-Stars (they’ll be back for another go in the Amazing Race All-Stars in March). We do think Ozzy should have won the million, even if he did look a lot like Joey Lawrence on the reunion show. more ›

You know that annoying phrase “do what you love, and the money will follow”? We’ve never fallen for it. We love eating cheeseburgers and watching “Survivor,” and we haven't seen a dime. more ›

R U The Girl features T-Boz and Chilli, the 2 remaining members of TLC, as they try to find a female performer to replace Left Eye who was killed in a car crash in 2002. Oh, wait. Replacing Left Eye?... more ›

Survivor, the washed up 80s band, sued Survivor, the reality TV show and.. guess what? They lost. Didn't see that coming. more ›
