'Californication' court

  

Um, have the Red Hot Chili Peppers been hiding under a rock? Or were they just trying to think of the best way to describe their song “Californication”? (They went with “the signature CD, video and song of the band’s career"—guess “Under the Bridge” meant nothing to them.)

 

Anthony Kiedis just announced that they’re suing Showtime over their show of the same name, as well as their use of the name Dani California—the title for a 2006 Chili Peppers song—for a character. And yes, we're talking about the hit show that's already wrapped up its first season. Guess somebody doesn’t have ca-ble…

Maggie is a glorified television junkie, so it's only fitting that she gets paid to watch and dish about her favorite shows as TV editor for Metromix.

Some cold, hard facts about Maggie's addiction:

  • She's picky about her sitcoms, but will watch anything that makes her laugh out loud.
  • When doing laundry or giving herself a pedicure, she'll watch anything. Period.
  • She has a framed picture of the cast of "Amen" over her guest bathroom toilet.
  • "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" has never once not made her cry.
  • She doesn't want to know any spoilers about eliminated models, hideously designed outfits, secret hatches or the like. The elements of anticipation and surprise are sacred.

So, from fan favorites like "Lost," "Heroes," "Nip/Tuck," "Pushing Daisies," "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and "Weeds" (to name a very few), to unhealthy guiltier-than-O.J. guilty pleasures like "The Hills," "Rock of Love," "The Real World" (or anything else on MTV or VH1), she's got it covered. 

Just don't say anything bad about "Top Chef" and you'll stay on her good side.
