Mr. Grant Opens Up

Click HERE to read a nice interview with Ed Asner about his work these days, including voicing the lead character in "Up" and apparently touring with a one man show about FDR!

In addition to "Mary Tyler Moore" (my personal obsession) he's played Santa Claus at least four times- what's not to love?

F^(# Spike TV!!

Spike TV the channel all about testosterone that no one watches unless they are "high on steroids" or need something to do between crushing beer cans on their foreheads- has released a list of ten actresses "past their expiration date." Would Lifetime do this for men?? Not even Oxygen would do this to men!!!

Actresses on the list included Lindsay Lohan (whose career may be over, but still!) and others like Julia Roberts (still MY sweetheart!) and Sarah Jessica Parker (what is it with straight men and her? Why are they threatened? Oh she's known for playing a strong female character and that must make their little weenies shrivel!)

I was unaware actresses had an expiration date- I thought that was more of a milk thing!

Also included: Nicole Kidman, Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, Meg Ryan, Renee Zellweger, Teri Hatcher, and Helen Hunt- watch out women of Hollywood- better not turn 40!! or fuckheads at cable stations will not beat off to fantasies of you anymore!! What a shame!

FUCK you Spike TV! And the cable station past its expiration date is . . .

Bald Man of the Month

This month's choice is that affable old teddy bear Ed Asner. Best known for playing the affable old teddy bear Lou Grant, Asner has also portrayed Santa Claus in too many films and television specials to count. Although he will turn 80 this year, he is still hard at work and voices one of the lead characters in the upcoming Pixar film "Up."

Let's hear it for one of our favorite chrome domes! To learn more visit:

Best Performances of '08

In our next podcast Kendall and I carefully dissect every moment of 2008, but we neglected to say our favorite performances of the year.

Needless to say, Heath Ledger's Joker was the best thing since . . . Jack Nicholson's Joker at the very least. When he was not on screen I constantly thought "Where's Joker?? What's Joker doing? Has anyone seen the Joker??" just like I always do for Poochy the rockin' dog. In fact, during the entirety of "Eagle Eye" I was wondering what the old Joker was up to.

Meryl Streep is GOD! She can do anything! "Doubt" is enjoyable for everyone's performances but "Streep is the new Messiah" will be on my Christmas cards next year! "I have such . . . doubts!!!!!" No DOUBT about it she's the entertainer of the millenium.

Was there a funnier person on screen in double-naught-eight than James Franco in "Pineapple Express"? No, dude!!! Spark up a doobie and watch some weird shit in Youtube until next week when the movie hits dvd! A++

Tina Fey is to thank for Obama!!! Yes SHE Can!!! I'm sorry Sarah Palin will be buried under a snow drift for the next 100 years for only one reason: no more Tina Fey as Sarah Palin!

The Bird Carrie wore on her head in her first attempt at marrying Big easily fits in with my top 3 birds of all time (the other two being Woodstock and Channel 4's Snowbird). Best Bird/Hair Ornament/Conversation Piece of the decade!!!

What were your faves???
