Coolfer has a great list of overused words/phrases/cliches in music reviews, such as "ethereal," "fully realized," and "new yet familiar." As terrible as it is to resorting to those words in any sort of review or article (and we're guilty of it), Gothamist is all for it, as long as people get to make fun fo those conventions.
Another great stab at dissecting entertainment articles: Fametracker's Mediator on a Vanity Fair feature on Colin Farrell.
