I try to avoid talking about Britney Spears, but I can’t resist once Dr. Phil gets involved. Spears was overheard angrily telling a friend ”this is the final straw” — furious her parents had contacted TV counselor Dr. Phil McGraw to step in and attempt to help Britney deal with her various demons. Spears was…
Dear Mike Huckabee, I thought it was funny and politically brilliant for you to have Chuck Norris do an ad with you. But having Norris flank you during your Iowa Caucus victory speech weirds me out a bit. Look at the Chuckster, laughing his ass off at your every word. People are talking, Mike. They’re…
On tonight’s “60 Minutes,” Roger Clemens said he didn’t use steroids or HGH. He said he would be willing to take a lie detector, but he made sure to mention this. “I don’t know if they’re good or bad.” Sounds like someone is getting ready for their lawyer to come in and declare lie detectors…
Previously, a game of Hacky Sack made me feel old. Today, juggling a soccer ball showed my age. As we were juggling the ball, I noticed a hint of eyebrow in my peripheral vision. This is a first for me. My eyebrows are apparently close to running wild. Please, bear with me through this troubling…
“Has-beens unite!” American Gladiators is back. Here are some thoughts. Does Hulk Hogan know he isn’t a Gladiator? That sleeveless black shirt combined with his constant flexing worry me. Laila Ali has a frighteningly low voice. I’m not sure what I think about the Gladiator “Wolf.” I could do without his howling. Nitro has to…
Unless the water coming out of your tap is green, I’m not drinking your bottled water. It’s fine that you only drink bottled water, but I’m not going to contribute to the bottled water industry by drinking your supply. Basically, unless we’re spending significant time away from a tap, get out of my face with…
CNN had two different pie charts up at the same time during the Iowa caucuses. Here’s the pie chart they put up for the Democrats. Notice how CNN went out of its way to squeeze Bill Richardson’s two percent piece into the pie? Now, look at the Republican pie chart. Notice the giant void between…
I sat through way too much crappy late night television last night to put a podcast together. Included are some clips and my brilliant commentary. 12:00 mp3 Podcast: Download (8.2MB)
My friend and former colleague, Chris Casey, uploaded “Freak,” his best film yet. I’ll embed it here, but you should really go to the video’s home page so you can watch it fullscreen.
Check out what the guys at Facebook (my profile here) sent me. You read correctly. The guys at Facebook went out of their way, on New Year’s, to personally wish me a happy birthday and a great day. Jealous? UPDATE: It’s come to my attention that some kind of snazzy magic, known as “code,” is…
I will watch as many late-night talk shows as possible Wednesday. All the shows will be back with new episodes. Letterman worked out a deal so he and Craig Ferguson could return with their writing staffs. All the other shows won’t have writers, and strike rules prevent their hosts from writing material. Hopefully we’ll finally…
