A glorious moment in journalism: newscasters on helium
May 22, 2009
This isn’t new, but it sure is awesome. A television news team was commenting on Lionel Richie taking a hit of helium before singing, and, well, monkey see monkey do. The Huffington Post did a great writeup about it, and the video is included for your viewing convenience.Watch it, dammit!
Did anyone see Sherri Shepherd flying on The View today?
So in an ill-conceived promotion for the new Pixar movie Up!, Sherri Shepherd of The View was made to look like she was lifted out of the studio by a large bunch of balloons. She then goes on to put on the funniest bad performance I think I’ve ever seen from her. She clearly has [...]
Kris Allen is our new golden god
May 20, 2009
I guess American Idol is over now…so many memories of Ford commercials, now just dust in the wind. Anyway, if you haven’t heard, the winner is Kris Allen! I voted for him, just because I was getting tired of Adam’s schtick. I do hope that Adam has a long and glittery career, but Kris had [...]
Who’s your American Idol?
May 19, 2009
I watched the final performances tonight, and my only thoughts are: a) I’m glad that somebody sang a Sam Cooke song, and b) the episode was too short. Comment below if you care…but in my opinion, Adam’s novelty has worn off a bit.
Laura’s 5 Favorite International TV Shows
May 13, 2009
American television has its highs (Dexter, Weeds) and its lows (The Biggest Loser, Howie Do It), and I love every minute of it. Still, as rich and diverse a television landscape as we have in this country, there are some equally amazing shows being made around the world. Strange but true. Here are five of [...]
Dear Tyra, Stop trying to make “disgusting” happen
May 5, 2009
I love Tyra Banks and her sometimes ridiculous talk show, but she needs to stop trying to be such a trendsetter. Lately, you might have noticed that she’s been obsessed with the word “disgusting.” But like bad means good, this is one of those opposite meaning things, as in “Girl, you look disgusting in those [...]
“Chasing Dorota” is the best online TV show ever
May 4, 2009
To be fair, Chasing Dorota is also the only online TV show I’ve ever seen. But since I am a big Gossip Girl fan and Dorota is clearly the best part of the show, this web series is right up my alley…
Queer as Folk’s Brian is in Desperate Housewives??
May 1, 2009
I am not a Desperate Housewives viewer and never have been, so I’m not surprised that this casting decision passed me by for so long. But I was watching a promo for the primetime soap tonight and was shocked when I saw Queer as Folk’s Brian, played by Gale Harold, starring in what looks to [...]
The Dexter action figure!
It’s times like this I wish I had disposable income. The popular Showtime series (and Liz and Laura favorite) Dexter has released its own Dexter action figure, which can be bought on the Showtime site (direct link).It won’t be available until June 2009, but you can reserve your order now. The 7″ figure sells for [...]
Prince’s appearance on Tavis Smiley tonight (pictures!)
April 29, 2009
I just wanted to share with you the meeting of two great minds that was Prince’s interview on Tavis Smiley tonight. Prince didn’t say much in particular, except for mentioning how he likes sports like basketball, which just made me think of Dave Chappelle’s brilliant sketch. And he mentioned how important it was that people [...]
