Batman is Hey guys i’m premiering today! As everyone and their mothers knows (except for perhaps mine), The Dark Knight hit theaters at 12:01 AM today, and since then, Facebook has been under siege with Dark Knight status updates. I really thought Sex and the City and Indiana Jones brought a lot of repetitive updates, …

Rami Kashou Attacked By Vengeful Anti-Draping Enthusiast
Taking the word “fierce” to new (or perhaps old?) levels, Project Runway finalist Rami Kashou was allegedly involved in some sort of brawl at a West Hollywood gay bar Thursday night. Details are sketchy, but according to one eyewitness, an attacker hurled a martini glass at Kashou’s face, causing massive bleeding (and surely the ruination …

Skydiver 2, Tubas 0
Most parachuters like to land on grass. Some, however, like to touch down ON TOP OF A MILITARY BAND. That’s right. Yesterday, during some sort of military event, a skydiver descended from on high and unfortunately landed amidst the brass section of one very unlucky marching band. To be fair, the guy didn’t intend to …
Kathy Griffin Reads The Blogs (Or At Least One Of Them)
For three and a half seasons, Kathy Griffin has been tirelessly showcasing her sometimes less-than-glamorous world on Bravo’s My Life On The D-List, and even though she claims to be at the bottom of the barrel, she’s now an Emmy winner and recent double-nominee. Pretty impressive. Nevertheless, the controversial comic sat down with Seth Abramovitch …

Comedy Central Takes On Reality TV
My old college chum works at Comedy Central, and he gave me a heads up on a new show premiering tonight called Reality Bites Back. Basically, a bunch of comedians (including reality veteran Theo Von from Road Rules and umpteen Challenges) will be stuck together competing in weekly events that parody real life reality shows. …
Emmy Nominations Revealed, Happiness and Confusion Ensue
The 60th Emmy Award nominations were revealed this morning, and I have to admit that I’m pretty much fine with them. Sure, there were several snubs, but overall, I felt the noms hit the mark more or less. Readers of this blog will know that after my recent conversion to all things Mad Men, I …

Idiot Driver 1, Bank 0
This video doesn’t say much about Texas drivers (nor, for that matter, the structural integrity of banks). Fear not: no one was hurt.
I Think The Japanese Are Onto Something…
Staten Island girl + baby costume – equilibrium = awesome. On last night’s episode of I Survived a Japanese Game Show, contestants were spun around rapidly for quite some time before being unleashed on a killer obstacle course (through which they had to carry two pitchers of milk). Needless to say, pratfalls and splashing ensued. …
BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: All Praise Renny!
I simply cannot believe we’re only two episodes into Big Brother 10, and it’s already this intense. Has this ever happened? My heart was racing I was so excited with all the twists and turns that took place over this second hour of the season. Renny has quickly jumped to the top of my favorites …
Why You Hating On Us, BEN & JERRY'S???
Hold me closer, tiny ice cream. My heart skipped a beat today when I saw that there’d be a brand new flavor rolling out of the Ben & Jerry’s factory this month. Surely I would have to sample this latest batch of frozen paradise. But then I learned a horrid, horrid truth. The new flavor …
