Yeah, we went with that title. Give us a break, it’s early on a Monday, and it’s not fair to expect words of beauty. Anyway, we contributed another post to the Awards Picks Red Carpet Blog, this time in praise/reverence of Fantastic Mr. Fox. Long story short, I loved Up, but I also loved this [...]

Black Friday Fun! Muppetstar Galactica!
So much fun showing up at Best Buy at 5am this morning. Black Friday is the best! It’s like Christmas, but instead of receiving presents you have to get up before dawn to literally wrestle with other people to buy gifts. America! Anyway, with the Muppet version of “Bohemian Rhapsody” burning up the bandwidths since [...]

OMG! The Real Housewives of OC Are Just Like Us!
They shop at H&M too! Well, at least Jeana and her daughter Kara do. At the mall! Just like you and me! Don’t be shy, Jeana. This is where Kara shops when she pays for her own clothes. And she lives in LA now, so she knows what’s what. Plus, SALE!

Twitter is all abuzz with Retweets about a new Muppet video uploaded to YouTube today in which our favorites perform their very own version of Queen’s classic “Bohemian Rhapsody” music video! Pretty amusing, but how cool would it have been if it featured Kermit and Fozzie in the Mirth Mobile, head [...]

The Regis Philbin Wave of Mutilation Continues
Last week the Regis Philbin runaway train barreled through Meryl Streep, nearly sending her into cardiac arrest when Reege mistakenly informed Streep that her daughter had broken her leg (Just a little error reading the cue card. NBD. She’s only the daughter of Oscar Royalty. Relaaaaax). Now Reege has once again turned the knife onto [...]

‘SNL’ & JGL: Full of Sound and Fury Signifying…What, Exactly?
Well, there was no denying that the energy level was turned up to 11 on this weekend’s Saturday Night Live, with a burst of adrenaline that was no doubt due in great part to Joseph Gordon Levitt’s raucous enthusiasm, and, perhaps, with the scathing reviews after last weekend’s January Jones episode, the cast and crew [...]

‘The Office’: Truth or Consequences
As we’re a bit late to the party, just some (hopefully) quick thoughts on last week’s Office entry, “Shareholder Meeting.” The theme for this season (and probably the entire series), as we have already talked about in great detail, has been the vacillation of Michael Scott from mildly idiotic but well-meaning and somewhat competent to [...]
