Kevin Hart became a voice for the people on Saturday night when he went on a profanity-laced rant on CNN’s new rule preventing Anderson Cooper, Andy Cohen and other presenters of the news network’s New Year’s Eve broadcast from drinking on-air.
Hart talked with Cohen and Cooper from Las Vegas, where he was ringing in 2023 with a stand-up special. In front of a well-stocked bar, Hart downed a shot for the two hosts, saying that they had been “hoodwinked” before he got in some expletives past the censors.
“I can’t believe they pulled this shit on you guys!” Hart cried out as Cohen and Cooper broke into fits of laughter. “That’s right, CNN, I said s—! I said horses—! I said bulls—! I said it all! I’m pissed. I’m pissed you got these two guys sober up here today! Here’s a shot...

In the third episode of HBO comedy Silicon Valley, titled “Articles of Incorporation,” eccentric tech billionaire and angel investor Peter Gregory (Christopher Evan Welch) demonstrated exactly how brainy and zany he can be.

In the eccentric billionaire news of the week, Virgin Group founder Richard Branson (pictured above, right, with explorer Chris Welsh on the submersible) has announced that plans to explore the depths of the world's oceans in a jet-like submarine in a project he is calling Virgin Oceanic, reports Reuters.
At a press conference in California, he announced that his 18-foot sub is capable of descending more than 36,000 feet below the surface. He plans to take five dives over two years, the first of which will be to the Pacific Ocean's Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the world's oceans.
Branson won't pilot that dive himself, but plans to pilot the second dive into the Atlantic Ocean's Puerto Rico Trench. Also on his list are the Molloy Deep in the Arctic, South Sandwich Trench in the Southern Ocean (where the Southern tip of South America meets Antarctica) and Diamantina in the Indian Ocean.

Eric Clapton "The 1960s Review" will be available on DVD October 19, 2010, highlighting the story of the rock artist's formative years.
