Harland Williams still gets an awful lot of work

March 26, 2009
Liz and I have been big Harland Williams fans since we first watched Disney’s RocketMan, one fateful drunken day. Of course, we were aware of his fine work in Half Baked and other dumb comedies, but it wasn’t until we heard him utter his timeless catchphrase “It burns the flesh!” that we knew what true [...]

Everyone looks scary when you replace their face with Tom Petty’s

March 16, 2009
Back in the day (2005), Liz and I worked at a deli in New York’s East Village. We had a grand old time making sandwiches and bowl after bowl of chicken salad, flirting with cute patrons, and engaging in rap battles with coworkers. One of these coworkers snapped a photo of me one day, and [...]

When did Chris Elliot get so portly?

January 8, 2009
Have you seen Chris Elliot lately? Damn! Dude got pudgy. It could only mean one of two things: a) Rehab, or b) Pregnancy. Darn that baby weight.Or it could be that after years of failure, in the form of such flops as “Cabin Boy” (that totally bizarre, brain dead rip-off of “Baron Munchausen”) and “Scary [...]

Janet from Swingtown’s surprising early role…

August 6, 2008
As I’ve previously mentioned, I am a fan of CBS’ Swingtown, and now that I’m learning more about the actors in the show, I like it even more!  For one thing, the main husband is the British in-charge guy (Commodore Norrington I think) in Pirates of the Caribbean, and the girl who plays Trina was [...]

August 5, 2008
Celebrity couples come and go like the seasons, reminding us all that love is fleeting when you’re a self-obsessed narcissist with a Napoleonic complex. Some of them last a year, even two, giving us little people a brief glimpse of hope that love can be everlasting, until the inevitable extramarital affair scandal followed by the [...]

DListed is awesome

If you like Liz and Laura, you will totally adore DListed.com.  It is a celebrity gossip journal, and as much as I love the Perez, Michael K (DListed’s writer/creator) is way funnier.  Read this shit immediately and often!  Laura commands it.

January 25, 2008
If you haven’t already watched Tom Cruise’s weirdo Scientology video (made for internal use by the cult), have no fear! It’s back online, and better than ever, thanks to the ongoing work of Anon, the hackers taking the COS down. The full 40 minute video includes the famous rambling one-sided Tom Cruise interview [...]

Tom Cruise’s weirdo Scientology rant — you have to watch this video!

January 15, 2008
If you haven’t already heard, the press got hold of a video used internally by Scientology organizations, showing Tom Cruise answering interview questions about the benefits of Scientology.  Watching this confused, brainwashed man blathering on and on about “doing it” and “getting it done” (although he never really makes it clear what ‘it’ is) makes [...]
