Mayim Bialik’s hit CBS sitcom, “The Big Bang Theory,” has been racking up some highly impressive ratings.

In the ongoing nastiness between Joan Rivers and Showtime over the comedienne’s taking PR for her “Don’t Start With Me” special in to her own hands, she has called the Showtime people “bipolar” and “drunk.” She’s also holding Alfred Hitchcock and the Kardashians up as exemplary masters of (self-) promotion.
Aaron Sorkin has revealed his unusual plans for the script he is writing for Sony’s screen adaptation of Walter Isaacson’s Steve Jobs biography.
