Dear Ben Silverman: Prom Is Not Canceled

Apparently NBC co-chief Ben Silverman is still thinking like a high schooler.

Talking to E! News anchor Ryan Seacrest yesterday about the cancellation of the Golden Globe telecast due to the ongoing strike, Silverman said, "Sadly, it feels like the nerdiest, ugliest, meanest kids in the high school are trying to cancel the prom. But NBC wants to try to keep that prom alive."

So sorry to hear the "ugly nerds" have caused Mr. Silverman's big prom plans to fall apart. Then again, maybe it's the fault of the "big, jock bullies" who won't return to the bargaining table.

Of course, we certainly don't want to deny Ben a prom. And to prove it, UnitedHollywood.com and Hot in Hollywood cordially invite you to:
