Two Jews got together to talk smack about Anne Hathaway… basically. James Franco was a recent guest on Howard Stern’s show and Stern could not resist the opportunity to question him about the Internet’s punching bag, Anne Hathaway, and their universally panned gig as hosts of the Oscars. Remember how stoned James Franco looked? More stoned that he did for the whole run of “Freaks and Geeks” and the entirely of “Pineapple Express.” Remember how awkward and awful that …More

Lena Dunham is getting ready to usher in the second season of her HBO series “Girls” on Sunday and no one, not even Howard Stern, is throwing a wrench into the happiness of the 26-year-old actor/producer/director. Earlier this week, Stern unloaded some nasty observations about Dunham and “Girls,” a show about a group of 20-something ladies living in Brooklyn trying to make their way through life. On his radio show, Stern called Dunham a “little fat chick.” But the hits kept …More

Here’s the only thing we’ll tell you about Jspace’s Pop Culture Man of the Year: His career started out out of this world, and in 5772 it reached even greater heights. Stumped? You’ll just have to keep reading to figure out whom we’re talking about! Just as our list of the 5772’s top women in pop culture began with a nod to the late Nora Ephron, we also remember a pioneering man who left us too soon. When news broke in early May that Adam Yauch, one of the founding members …More

Say it isn’t so! It looks like Edon Pinchot, the 14-year-old boy wonder who’s been wowing us all summer, has reached the end of his “America’s Got Talent” run. We first became fans of Edon last June, when he took to the AGT stage wearing a yarmulke and a smile. We’ve been watching the musical phenom ever since, and can’t get enough of his amazing covers to tunes like “Good Life” and “Titanium.” For a while, America couldn’t get enough, …More

Edon Pinchot sailed through the semifinals on “America’s Got Talent” last night. The 14-year-old phenom returned to the screen with a rendition of “What Makes You Beautiful” by One Direction. Donning his signature kippah for the performance, Edon wowed judges Sharon Osbourne, Howard Stern and Howie Mandel (all Jewish too, by the way). Stern was the harshest critic, saying he was “bored” at points. He did admit, however, that Edon’s likely to get plenty of votes …More

Sharon Osbourne is the latest reality TV judge to jump off the bandwagon, joining “American Idol” judges Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler in leaving the show. She tweeted out to Howard Stern yesterday, revealing that she would not be on board for another season of "America's Got Talent." She has not commented on why she is leaving the show, and TV executives at NBC have stated that she has not informed them of her decision to leave. NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt spoke at a meeting …More

Howard Stern suffered a devastating loss yesterday, and no, it wasn’t his sanity after watching the endless contestants of “America’s Got Talent.” His beloved English Bulldog Bianca passed away. Bianca Romijn-Stamos Stern entered the Stern family in 2002, and has been the light of their lives ever since. She’s the inspiration behind Stern and Beth Ostrosky Stern’s matching “Bianca” wrist tattoos. The Stern family mourns the loss of their “daughter” dog …More

“Did you get a standing ovation at your bar mitzvah?” That’s the only question “America’s Got Talent” judge Howie Mandel had for America’s Jewish sweetheart Edon Pinchot after he blew the crowd away last night. After last week's rendition of "Without You," the “Jewish Justin Bieber” performed his version of “Titanium,” another hit by fellow Jew (but not yarmulke-bearing) David Guetta. Needless to say, he stunned everyone. And we can finally say …More

Last night on "America's Got Talent," 12-year-old Edon Pinchot brought the magic. The yarmulke-wearing boy wowed the judges, with Sharon Osbourne saying he reminded her of "a young Billy Joel." Edon's rendition of "Without You" certainly was worthy of the Joel reference. We first picked up on the boy wonder a few weeks ago after he hit the "Talent" stage to similar applause. The music prodigy already has a following on YouTube and we're betting it's only a matter of time before he secures his own recording …More

What does a 12-year-old religious boy have in common with one of the planet’s most successful teen heartthrobs? The answer isn’t his yarmulke. Edan Pinchot was already being touted as the “Jewish Justin Bieber” by the National Conference of Synagogue Youth when he recently met the judges on “America’s Got Talent.” Edan made his Jewish mama proud, however, impressing Howard Stern and the rest with his rendition of “Good Life.” We're glad about it, after having …More

It may have been Will Smith who rapped “in West Philadelphia born and raised/on the playground is where I spent most of my days,” but it’s seven year-old Philadelphian rapper Mir Money who will be doing just that after having his dreams of winning ‘America’s Got Talent’ crushed by Howard Stern. Stern, who joined the show as a judge only last week, caused the young rapper from to cry on national television after giving feedback of his performance. Actually, now that we think …More

Forbes magazine just released its Celebrity 100 list and it’s slim pickings for tribe members in the top ten, a fact that should debunk that myth about Jews controlling Hollywood and the media. The highest-ranking Jewish celeb is Steven Spielberg who brought up the rear of the list at number 10. However, there are a host of famous Jewish actors, celebs, and entertainers, including Simon Cowell (#18), Howard Stern (#30), Jerry Bruckheimer (#39), Adam Sandler (#57), Jerry Seinfeld (#64), Ben Stiller (#72), …More
