Neil Patrick Harris Is Going To Host the Emmys

2009-07-03T14:09:20-04:00

Remember the days when Neil Patrick Harris existed only as an outlet for our mockery? The Doogie Howser days? Those were simpler, better times, when the Coke was New and a mortgage was just a mortgage, not a collateralized debt obligation. But then the world went to hell, and there was no one to make...

The Last Video Footage of Michael Jackson

2009-07-03T13:00:00-04:00

All the rumors of the past week have led us to believe that Michael Jackson was little more than a bald, emaciated zombie before his death, unable to dance, sing, or, sadly, moonwalk. Now footage of Jackson's last rehearsal, taken hours before his death, right before he was to kick off his 50-date tour, has...

2009-07-03T12:00:51-04:00

Universal Pictures has announced that they have secured the rights to make a movie out of the video game Asteroids, and don't even look at me like that. No, I'm not kidding. You know...Asteroids. The little triangle flies around and shoots the white outline rocks until they break into smaller white outlines? No...No...it's going to...

Public Service Announcement: Canadian Pop Music Can Kill You

2009-07-03T11:00:00-04:00

I'm on a road trip across Canada this week, and although I generally ignore (with a few notable exceptions) Canadian music - I find Barenaked Ladies banal, The Tragically Hip boring, and Nickelback a cruel joke - it's kind of hard to avoid thinking about it when you keep passing road signs that say disturbing...

ED NOTE: You read her pop culture confessions yesterday; today, share her love of of hirsute hotties. Or snicker at it. Whichever. But if you're the type to snicker at Jeffrey Dean Morgan, we probably want little to do with you, so. . . . . . Hello, I'm Sarah from Whoorl and Hair Thursday....

Are You Ready For Grey's Anatomy...In Space?

2009-07-02T15:00:00-04:00

ABC has acquired the rights to Gravity, a science fiction show from the U.K. about eight astronauts who undertake a six-year mission. But the producers want you to know, LADIES, that you shouldn't be scared of those words like "science fiction" and "astronauts" and especially "science." This is "vagina-friendly" science fiction, apparently. No. Seriously. One...

Sorry I'm so sleepy, but I have been reading and researching celebrity gossip to bring you NEW and EXCITING gossip tidbits with snarky commentary about all the celebrities' trainwreckiness. But you know what? I'm pooped out on these people on all these magazines and websites I've been poring over. Exhausted. It...

Kate Moss and a Jonas Brother Get Engaged

2009-07-02T13:00:00-04:00

I woke up this morning and everyone got engaged. Well, not everyone, just Kate Moss and one of the Jonas Brothers. No, silly, not to each other. Kate Moss is almost old enough to be the Jonas Brothers' mom. In fact she was 18 when Nick was born, so there is that. Oh, you wanted...

What I'm watching on my summer vacation

2009-07-02T12:00:00-04:00

Man, thank god I get to write here. Not to be an ass kisser, but as I was perusing the news this morning there's all this DREAD and DOOM and EVERYONE'S OUT OF A JOB being reported, and I get to disregard all that completely and write about my summer television obsessions. Pretty awesome. Anyway,...

Hollywood's Top Earning Actresses, WTF Edition

2009-07-02T11:34:16-04:00

OK, so I like to think I'm a bit of a movie buff. But, it's been pointed out to me once or twice that I'm not a movie buff in the sense that I saw that obscure 1985 straight-to-video movie about the aliens who posed as gas station attendants, but rather I've seen Titanic 27...
