Britney apparently really liked Party Monster when she saw it at Sundance, says Fenton, because she didn't have to think about it. Now she's put a song called "Freakshow" on her Blackout album and it's become James' new theme song, of course. Might she be reading Freak Show to her boys at bedtime? Pod Squad consensus is that the album's good. Fenton recommends reading Rosie O'Donnell's Celebrity Detox. "It's what we've been saying for years!" he exclaims. He mentions seeing the Eagles perform recently, and that incites a discussion of lighters vs cellphones during "Desperado." Like, which is more primal, flame or screensaver? Ellen and Iggygate. Ellen and Portia. The Kardashians. Brody Jenner. The Hills: Steven says it "brings out the 14-year-old girl in me," which James says, at 3AM, takes only one Madonna song and a shot of tequila. Will the LA inferno increase the box office for Things We Lost in the Fire? Pod Squad loves the light in LA now that it's filtered through smoke. Ben Foster's gay character in 3:10 to Yuma. Outing Dumbledore. 30 Days of Night. Fenton mentions being in the Arctic Circle for 30 nights of day. Insomnia. More Ben Foster. Pushing Dasies. Weeds. Prison Break still? Chuck. Reaper. The surprising season-ender of Damages. Which reminds James of when they killed Jessica in what would turn out to be the series-sender of Soap in, like, 1975. Kyle XY. Fenton is fascinated, he says, with the commercials for partial knee-joint replacement. After a discussion of other noteworthy TV spots, James springs a scandal-queens-of-the-past pop quiz on the Pod Squad. As expected, Fenton is the most informed.
