The OSCARS Bring It…….

Lets start at the beginning….

This weekend I managed to find myself on the island of no channel 7, aka ABC. Yes, you heard correctly. Thanks to an horrific who-has-the-bigger-balls and wants-to-make-more-money-while-laying-off-thousands battle between Cablevision (the local network here) and ABC/Disney kept me from watching the Oscars in the comfort of my in-laws home, so I [...]

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

We are just a few days away (more on that later) from The Oscars. So to prepare yourself for the tears, off-the-cuff remarks and overall blandness that will come along with one of the most predictable ceremonies in recent memory, the internet (CopyRightHater) put together a lovely look back at some previous Thank Yous. Enjoy [...]

Jon Stewart Gets All “Fair & Balanced”

Wherever my political alliances lie, I have to say that the idea of a cable news network continuously providing only ONE side of the political story can not be deemed “fair and balanced”. With Palindemoneum taking over America, specifically in areas where they consider reporting first and knowledge second, it seems that whatever comes out [...]

Party in the USA – LOST Style

We are in the thick of it people. Total LOST overload until the series finales blows our minds in just a short ten weeks (YEARGH HOW CAN WE WAIT?). But until then, turn the volume up, get out your chair and let loose with Hugo Reyes. Let’s forget we’ve been stuck on this island and [...]

OK Go Wins at Music Videos

Whatever you may think about OK Go, you have to give them credit for continuously bringing it with their music videos. I am convinced that if MTV was functioning like it did back in the 90’s, they would be one of the biggest bands in America if only in part due to their clever music [...]

Kelly Ripa Got Tattooed.. By My Friend

I love watching Regis & Kelly. It’s sort of like an out of body experience where I get to see what a conversation between my grandma and myself would look like. Anyways, while I dressed for work the other day, I heard Kelly discussing the latest permanent addition to her skin. Kelly had just got [...]

Everybody Must Get Stoned: Ladies Getting High on the Big Screen

Natalie Portman is not new to stoner humor, so I am super stoked to see what she does with “Best Buds”. The project, which Portman will star in, as well as produce, is set around a weed-infused road trip between three best friends. The girls set off to San Diego to bond and refuel before [...]

Betty White (and others) to Host SNL

Woohoo! It only took 500k fans on Facebook and massive media coverage to make Lorne Michaels and the folks at SNL approach Betty White to host the show in April. According to Michael Ausiello at EW that there is a deal in the works to get Betty White to host the late night program. But, [...]

Cookie Time: The Troop Beverly Hills Experience

Last night I had the opportunity to watch, quote and sing along with one of my all time favorite movies and about two hundred fellow fans at Troop Beverly Hills: The Experience. The party went down at The Bell House in Brooklyn and it was FABULOUS! It was amazing to be in a room filled [...]

Jon Stewart ‘Eviscerates’ Bill O’Reilly

I kid, I kid. If you are a fan of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, you will know how the term eviscerates is misused on a daily basis by political leaning blogs. But Stewart did in fact stop by O’Reilly’s studio and discussed real politics, real tactics to fight terror and their beliefs, which [...]
