Today's 5 Biggest TV Dummies
 By Swanni 

Washington, D.C. (June 5, 2012) -- I'm not sure if this will be a daily feature, but I have no doubt that it could be if I have the time and inclination. Every day, I scan the newswires for interesting stories in the TV industry and I am constantly amazed at how dumb certain people can be.

And these are not dumb people. They just do dumb things from time to time. I guess it's part and parcel of working in the TV industry. The pressure to succeed -- or simply do something, anything -- is so great that actors, network executives, writers, producers and other Hollywood hoi polloi tend to get a little funny in the head.

They make mistakes. Big mistakes. Big mistakes that look real dumb.

So, here goes. Here's today's 5 Dumbest TV Moments for Tuesday:

 1. NBC Hires Jerry O'Connell as Herman Munster
Jerry O'Connell is many things, chiefly the husband to the gorgeous model/actress Rebecca Romijn. (That's no small achievement.) But a funny man he is not. Really, NBC, did you see The Defenders? O'Connell's briefcase got more laughs.

But NBC in its infinite wisdom (actually it has demonstrated almost no wisdom since the mid-1990s) has hired old Jer to be the star in its remake of The Munsters. That decision undoubtedly will go down as scarier than the show.

 2. Lindsay Lohan Has Wardrobe Malfunction Making a Movie!
This woman is a walking wardrobe malfunction. Her breasts pop out more than the nursing Mom on the Time Magazine cover a few weeks ago. And now TMZ.com has gotten access to a picture of Lil Lo playing Liz Taylor in an upcoming Lifetime movie. And Lil Lo and behold, Lohan's breasts are popping out during the scene itself. Can't this woman get a bra that fits?!

3. Emily Maynard Gets a Geography Lesson
Emily Maynard, this season's Bachelorette (ABC's female answer to ABC's The Bachelor) blogged today that she and her couple dozen suitors will shoot some scenes in Bermuda. Coming from North Carolina, this apparently got Emily really excited.

"We're off to Bermuda, and I couldn't be more excited! I had no idea it was so close to North Carolina and can't believe how easy it was to get there," Emily wrote.

 Em, sweetie, what, are you three? Have you never looked at a globe? No, I guess they don't have them in hot tubs.

4. Jason Alexander Calls Cricket a 'Gay Game'
This is a guy who worked with Michael Richards. And he still didn't realize that calling anything a racist or homophobic name is a guarantee that people will pick up pitchforks and storm your castle? So dumb -- and so George.

5. Hugh Hefner Reunites With His Runaway Bride
The 86-year-old Playboy founder is once again dating Crystal Harris, 26, who previously was seen fleeing the scene of her wedding to, yes, the aforementioned 86-year-old Playboy founder. I guess being 86 and having to answer to no one entitles you to do dumb things, really dumb things. And this is really dumb, Hef. Dumber than when you asked Linda Lovelace to perform a certain act of charity upon your manhood. It was Linda Lovelace, Hef. Did you think it was her first time? That she might not leave a few friends behind. Oh, dear. Good luck, Hughie, you're going to need it.
