Made You Look...

Sure it's tabloid television, so one could say that all bets are off, but here is the formula for Entertainment Tonight: Fill the show with "when we come back" hooks that are outright lies to inflate their advertising viewership. For example, just a week ago the show featured a spot on Kelly Rowland of Destiny's Child. They showed shots of her in a wedding gown with the teaser "Did Kelly Rowloand get stood up?" (at the altar).

No, silly -- if you just watch through these nice commercials you'll see that the wedding dress was for a photo shoot for Bride magazine long before her wedding, but that the wedding itself had been put on hold. What a relief!
