James Corden’s bad attitude
So apparently before the past few days, no one in the US knew that James Corden was a total douchebag. Cockburn has lost track of whether the comedian is currently banned or unbanned from Balthazar restaurant in NYC for being rude to staff, but it’s not the first time he’s had to grovel for forgiveness.
When filming for the Christmas special of Gavin and Stacey — the British sitcom about two families written by Corden and Ruth Jones that launched him to stardom — Corden apparently acted so appallingly to the cast that…

James Corden’s bad attitude

So apparently before the past few days, no one in the US knew that James Corden was a total douchebag. Cockburn has lost track of whether the comedian is currently banned or unbanned from Balthazar restaurant in NYC for being rude to staff, but it’s not the first time he’s had to grovel for forgiveness.

When filming for the Christmas special of Gavin and Stacey — the British sitcom about two families written by Corden and Ruth Jones that launched him to stardom — Corden apparently acted so appallingly to the cast that Jones made him drive to her house to apologize to her and the cast for his “awful twattish behavior,” a source tells Cockburn.

JHud’s talk-show dud

Nightmares in Dreamgirl-land. Producers of The Jennifer Hudson Show are panicking after one month of it being on air. Its poor execution has led to poor ratings. Disappointing for an EGOT winner…

College Republican cash-grab

Campaign season is often a time for various money-grubbing organizations to cold-call in an attempt to panhandle the good people of America. But Cockburn’s niece was surprised to hear from the College Republicans National Committee this week — it’s rather alarming to hear the group are hassling youngsters for spare change considering they’re accused of mishandling $2 million and some major campus chapters have seceded from the national organization…
