Justin Timberlake Buys MySpace!

In other hot dude news, Justin Timberlake (and some other probably less hot dudes/dudettes) are pooling some cash to buy that creaky old internet ghost-town known as MySpace.

And THIS JUST HIT ME, he's buying MySpace and he was IN THE FACEBOOK MOVIE!!!!! What a world!

Anyway- Justin says he wants MySpace to be a place where people can connect with their favorite artists and hear new music and stuff like that. I love him (and all together the site's selling for 35 million, which means even if he bought the whole thing it'd be chump change for JT) BUT if I can get tweets directly from Lady GaGa and see pictures uploaded by Elvira herself on facebook- then I already feel pretty connected. But- who knows, we may all move back over to MySpace by next year!

Probably not, but good luck Justin! Considering these days he's better known as the voice of BooBoo in that allegedly awful Yogi Bear movie- maybe instead of hooking fans up with a newly bedazzled MySpace- he could hook a fan up with a new Justin Timberlake album? FutureSex/Lovesounds is now in the past!

Jake Gyllenhaal in the Wilderness

While you might think my husband Jake Gyllenhaal would be too busy filming movies like "Source Code" or filing restraining orders against almost 30 year old gay dudes to film a guest spot on a TV show- you would be wrong!

Of all the shows I would choose for Jake to guest on ("30 Rock," "Curb Your Enthusiasm," old "Mary Tyler Moore Show" reruns) he has again gone outside the box, and outside any studio to appear on this coming Monday's season premiere of Man Vs. Wild on the Discovery Channel.

I just hope they have to nakedly jump into some of that ice cold Iceland water. Or nakedly climb one of those ice cold Iceland mountains. Or nakedly sit around in one of those ice cold Iceland production vehicles. Whatever they do, I'm sure it will be Must See TV! Learn more and watch a trailer for the episode HERE. I'm poor but for this I will track down someone with cable and a DVR!

Wow! And We're Backer Than Ever

We have been so busy planning for our big 200th Episode Blow-Out (and the 10 week celebration leading up to it) that we've all but neglected the blog! I asked Tyler to do some updates, but well . . . he said yes, but his eyes were pretty glassy at the time. The studio was pretty stinky too.

Anyway . . . Our 2 most recent shows are instant classics! 190- Teenage Bedrooms finds us revisiting (literally) our bedrooms from our teen years. What emotions will this bring up? Mostly uncontrollable laughter- along with Bad Jokes, Would U Rather, and R U Talkin' 2 Me? (Ricky Martin represents my teenage bedroom- I had that exact poster!)

And 191- Salute to the Environment, well I think it's about time someone stood up and told everyone about how awesome our Mother is! MOTHER EARTH! We're celebrating her bountiful harvest and innumerable assets along with Bad Jokes, R U Talkin' 2 Me, and Would U Rather! (That's right- 2 fan favorite segments, 2 weeks in a row!)

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Happy Birthday Aunt Jackie!

So, I'm innocently watching an old "Roseanne" episode and BOOM on the internet I'm informed that today is Aunt Jackie (aka Laurie Metcalf)'s birthday!!! She's 56 and still so awesome (I'm assuming).

And right now, in this 18 year old sitcom episode, she's really pregnant. Did you know when Jackie was pregnant with Andy that Laurie Metcalf was really pregnant? She was!! And now she must have a 17-18 year old kid that damn well better be making her a birthday cake right now!

Happy Birthday!

Oscar Shakeup!

No, unfortunately they have not decided to instate James Franco as a permanent Castro-like 'Oscar Host For Life'- instead the Academy has once again shaken up the rules for Best Picture nominees!

The last two years have seen 10 Best Picture nominees, as opposed to the 5 nominees seen for the 6 or so decades before that. Now, the new rules (read about them HERE) have made it so that there could be anywhere between 5 and 10 nominees in a given year.

That's Hollywood for ya!

How is This Still a Thing?

Sometimes I am going about my daily life, and all of a sudden- something happens and I'm shockingly reminded that some people think being gay is still a hot topic. People still get so offended and mad- isn't that weird?

Dianna Agron, Quinn from "Glee," wrote a great post on her blog about it HERE. She relays that some people write in about the show and say they love the series, but hate the gay storylines. And I admit, I've heard people say the same. Really? Is it because you hate prep school uniforms? Or are uncomfortable with how effeminate Kurt is? I am so glad he's so feminine! It would have been SO easy for them to have the main gay character be "straight acting" like Blaine. But- the world is not like that!!!!

It's even teaching gay people themselves a lesson! Not only the "it's okay to come out/accept yourself" lesson, but also that "you don't have to butch it up to be accepted!" You can fucking sing Don't Cry For Me Argentina to a room full of straight men! It's a pretty big/probably little known thing in the "gay community" that the more flamboyant you are- the more marginalized you are. To be outcast from your community of outcasts, as John Waters might say.

Oh, it's all crazy. This was a weird post, right? Tyler brought me in another care package of butternut rye krispies this morning and well, I guess I've had a few!

The Truth About Calories


Enjoy this photo of Zac Efron and read THIS article which reveals the **Truth** about calories!! Did you know that exercise is not the biggest calorie burner?! Even the leanest gym bunnies only burn around 30% of their daily calories at the gym.

Calories! Weight! It can all be so exhausting! I need more pictures of Zac Efron!

Johnny Depp is 48!

Today is Johnny Depp's 48th birthday!! He's now in his early late 40's. There's no denying it.

But, seeing as how Johnny has been christened "Eternally Sexy" by the planet (similar to the much less deserving Sean Connery)- he's probably cool with being 48. Hell, he's probably cool with just about everything.

I tried to think of when Johnny Depp was the hottest- but he's always been hot. From "21 Jump Street" to his very, very hot (but short-lived) role in "Nightmare on Elm Street" to that long blonde hair in "Blow"- he's just always smmmokinnnn. (As The Mask would say).

Happy Birthday Johnny Depp! If I looked like you, I wouldn't mind being 48!

NIghtmare Re-re-reboot?

Is it true that Nick Carter is going to be reinterpreting the role of Freddy Krueger? I hope so!!

I'd even say- let's leave the burn victim makeup off- so we can see that pretty little face. And his nice blond hair. And his boyish smile. Do you remember the late 90's? Nick Carter made them so much dreamier. He was not my first true love, but oh what a pre-millenium dreamboat.

I can't wait to see how to get things out of a Freddy Krueger nightmare this time! Out of a vajayjay again? Out of a manjayjay? I like the choice that Freddy has made to wear basketball shorts. So 2011.

Now, which part can Zac Efron play in this reboot? I can't remember- did Freddy have a sexy assistant? (Like me?) I guess he could bring Freddy water.

Kathy and Paula Deen!

Look at Kathy and Paula Deen!

First, I love how natural they look- so real and beautiful! Just being themselves. AND they're wearing a shirt that is an obvious message to Cliff and Kendall! We actually need a whole closet full of these shirts.
