Picture it: NBC, 1985. It’s a sad day indeed for ’80s sitcom fans. Estelle Getty, best known as Sophia Petrillo on The Golden Girls (or simply as “MA!”), has died at the age of 84. According to her family, she suffered “advanced dementia.” While reports of her illness had surfaced over the past few years, …

Omarosa/Wendy Williams Encounter Goes Pretty Much As Well As You'd Think It Would
It’s always exciting when two drag queens get into a spat, but since I don’t have a clip of that, I’ll show you the next best thing: Omarosa appearing on The Wendy Williams Show. Now, I loved Omarosa on Celebrity Apprentice, but I’ve come to realize that I can only tolerate her in the presence …

LEAVE MY iMAC ALONE!!!
This past Saturday, I had to make my first ever visit to Apple’s Genius Bar (a.k.a. help desk) as my poor little iMac seemed to have come down with the vapors. While I waited for my name to come up in the queue, I couldn’t help but notice a strange young man standing nearby, aimlessly …
The 'Pineapple Express' Billboard is Smokin'!
The Sunset Strip gets a lot of unique billboards, the most recent being this one advertising the upcoming Judd Apatow posse movie, Pineapple Express. As you can tell from my camera phone pic, the pineapple actually emits smoke. Kind of cool. Unfortunately, just as I snapped the photo, a gust of wind blew the smoke …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: He's Not Just Muscles, He's Vapidity Too!
Big Brother powered on last night with a relatively low-key episode. I thought we’d see Libra and Jerry fighting after the food competition, but maybe the producers are merely holding that off for Tuesday’s show. In any case, there were still plenty of amusing moments, particularly coming from Jesse, who added new cocky dimensions to …

Kids Do The Darndest Things
I’m sorry. These videos made me crack up. I know they involve children getting hit with trash cans and soccer balls, but it’s okay to laugh because they survived, DAMMIT. The funniest one is above. Another quality video after the jump. (And yes, I realize these are from 2007, but that doesn’t make them less …
BIG BROTHER SEX UPDATE: April and Ollie Totally DID It
Usually when people have sex in the Big Brother household, it happens late at night under the grainy gaze of infrared cameras. Thanks to Ollie and April, however, that visually-challening tradition has been bucked. Yes, the two lovebirds got it on earlier this morning right in the middle of the spa room, and as you …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Puppet Master No More
As usual, CBS waited four days after the live eviction episode of Big Brother to post the latest screen caps from the show, which explains why this photocap is so late. Gosh, I hardly even remember what happened on Wednesday. Let’s see… Brian was evicted, but not before putting on a funny puppet show; Jesse …

'Mad Men' Marathon Sunday on AMC
The hype for Mad Men has been out of control, and it’s only been augmented by its recent Emmy nomination haul (not to mention my own gushy praise). Still, amidst all the buzz (which kicked up a notch a few months ago with cover stories on Entertainment Weekly and The New York Times Magazine), the …
ME WANT FOOD!
Loud language; may be NSFW This clip from Big Brother is kind of amazing. It starts off slow and mundane, but then halfway through, BAM!! However, (spoiler alert) it WILL tell you who wins the food competition. If you can deal with that, then enjoy… Part II after the jump… (via Jokers Updates)
