I liked the commercials from the 90s but then in high school i went right back to thinking they are culty freaks and weirdos. As I matured though, I came to realize Mormons are pretty awesome. I wish the Mormons and the Gays could just get along cuz they’re 2 of the most pleasant yet misunderstood groups ever.
Mormon.org is running commercials and for some reason this is news.
Oh, now I remember the “some reason”:
Is it all just a plot to get Mitt Romney elected? oy.
Ever since I heard Nellie, the Filipino mother of my older friend JohnJohn, explain to me that Pee Wee Herman got arrested because he “got caught wiggling his weenie in public” (to which JohnJohn scolded her for using such graphic language), I was outraged not at the arrest but at the lack of defense by Pee Wee. An explanation at LEAST, please. but no. no word from the Herman camp.
Now, finally: Paul Reubens Defends His Public Masturbation Arrest to Playboy.
(PeeWee with Tim Burton)
Reubans says on his defense:
“Had we gone to trial, we had ready an expert from the Masters and Johnson Institute who was going to testify that in 30 years of research on masturbation the institute had never found one person who masturbated with his or her non-dominant hand,”… “I’m right-handed, and the police report said I was jerking off with my left hand. That would have been the end of the case right there, proof it couldn’t have been me.”
On the late night comedians making fun of his arrest:
I get that it’s their job, but I had already said the allegations weren’t true and felt I deserved the benefit of the doubt from them. Make a joke about me but also just say, ‘By the way, he’s been a friend of our show for many years.’ I was shocked people would kick me when I was down.”
And then he tells this amusing story of embarrassment:
Two years ago I was on a flight back to L.A. from the East Coast and it was one of those newer planes where every seat is equipped with its own little live satellite television screen. … I look over to the bulkhead one row in front of me, and I see a TV monitor there showing my mug shot, which then morphs into a picture of Pee-wee,” Reubens added. “And I realize, ‘Oh my God, they’re showing my E! True Hollywood Story—live!—to every seat in this airplane.’ I felt as though I was going to have to jump off the plane.”
Remember Zach? Normally I hate Zacks that spell their name with a “chuh” at the end and pretend its a “kuh” but its impossible not to love this dude. He entered our lives when he entered to win his own show on Oprahs new television network. Here is his audition clip:
The old voting page is here. The winner results page is here. Zach got 6th place?…huh?…wtf. robbed.
This clip from Red Eye is from June:
So disappointing that he didn’t get it and I dont know how. Course, I was also *this* close to getting a small role in Judd Apatows “Funny People” and that didnt happen either so maybe it’s a wider spread “rob the talented and deserving” theme thats going around?
Here is Zach in The Tortoise and the Chair:
UPDATE: Is he really doing a travel show anyway? Best youtube series ever? (mine not included)…
Oh…my… oh my…
Long-running Nickelodeon animated series “The Fairly OddParents” will detour into a live-action TV movie for the cabler in 2011, starring Drake Bell, Jason Alexander and Cheryl Hines.
“A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner” takes the show’s 10-year-old main character and reimagines him as a 23-year-old (played by Bell of Nick’s “Drake & Josh”) who is clinging to childhood and his fairy godparents. Alexander and Hines, last seen together on “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” play the live-action version of godparents Cosmo and Wanda, who are voiced by Daran Norris and Susanne Blakeslee in their animated version.
Garfield. Curious George. Whats next? a Babbar movie?
oh Christ…
Here’s a “blooper reel” of the Fairly Odd Parents, Pixar style. Watch and ask yourself why Alexander when Chris Kattan is so more the obvious choice.
Matt is back for the first time since 2006’s smash hit Joey, and — nah, i dont know why I tease the poor guy. I’ve always liked him and still do and this Showtime thingy is pretty amusing.
A poor girl (no pun intended) was attacked by some idiot in the projects who climbed into her bedroom and tried to rape her. watch the video…its funnier than the story sounds…
He’s climbin in yo windows tryin to rape people! hide yo kids and hide yo wife cuz they be rapin EVERYBODY out hea. don’t worry though cuz we gon fiiiiiiiyndjyu HOME BOY!
so you can run and tell that.
Thank goodness theres a song for this dude:
Here he is reacting to his internet celebrity status:
Antoine does not care about being an overnight internet sensation, he just wants to make sure that you get caught for trying to rape errybody in the community or so he can beat your ass.
I read a 6 paragraph speech on why someone alleges that this is a big hoax and its not really the kid typing but I dont believe it. Just letting you know the skepticism exists. I suspect the reason the ABC piece doesnt show her typing is because it takes her a long time…

Kings of Leon, which is a band (apologies to fans for not having heard of them) canceled a concert in St Louis because of pigeon shit… The Riverfront Times reports
After the Nashville band finished “Taper Jean Girl,” the third song of the set, it walked off stage. According to Hardy, the house lights stayed off for a short while and then went up, and then someone came to the stage and said that “due to concerns over the band’s safety, we are canceling the show. Please file out in an orderly fashion.” RFT photographer Erin Kinsella estimated it was “3 to 5 minutes after the stage went dark” that they made the announcement. She also noted that security was then beefed up near the stage.
Adds Hardy: “Everyone was convinced it was a hoax.”
Mass confusion ensued. The crowd started booing and chanting, “Bullshit!”; Hardy said the parking lot was full of honking horns and the sound of bottles being broken.
The official @rftmusic Twitter got hit with outrageous outrage and points of blame toward “pigeons.” Kings of Leon drummer Nathan Followill tweeted the following:
@doctorfollowill So sorry St. Louis. We had to bail, pigeons shitting in jareds mouth. Too unsanitary to continue.
@doctorfollowill Don’t take it out on Jared, it’s the fucking venues fault. You may enjoy being shit on but we don’t. Sorry for all who traveled many miles.
The RFT translates that that means a pigeon shit in bassist Jared Followill’s mouth. Richard translates that that aint no pigeon shit, thaz some bullshit. If in fact a bird crapped on a band member who happened to be in a position where the excrement entered his mouth, that is pretty gross, but wtf happened to “the show must go on”? You dont have to “like” being shit on to power through an uncomfortable situation in an outdoor theater. thats weaksauce, bro.
Drew Carey has lost 80 pounds. whoah. This Drew (from January, courtesy of the Huffington Post) is on a vacation (i wonder if he’ll come back):
The new Drew:
A friend added this excellent observation: here is a computer rendering of what he might look like in another 10 years
And for the record, I am a fan of both Drew Carey AND Mr Six – except for when he talks. I hate that.
UPDATE: Someone reminded me that this photo of him when he was a Marine exists so I’m posting it as well:
The cheapest iPad is $500 and received good ratings on price since its pretty cheap for an Apple device but an Indian company has just made a $35 tablet device that they hope to get down to $10, getting use closer to my prediction that cheap tablets will be sold by magazine makers, become menus/ordering forms in high end restaurants and tour guides in museums. This thing is planned to go on sale in 2011.
