Once upon a time, on a swing set far, far away, three third-graders discussed fourth-grade indiscretions.
Janey: I heard that Mikey P. kissed Patty Stevens near that rock in the woods.
Rocky: Me, too. Last week he held hands with Marysol.
Tiffany: Yeah. They’re all gonna have babies.
Fast forward to last week (the part where we haven’t grown [...]

Media Blitz – Vol. 1: Disappointment
Posted in celebrity, music, tv, video, tagged Cougar Town, Courtney Cox, Evergrey, Glee on September 24, 2009 | 18 Comments »
This here is a media blitz. Ready? Let’s go.
First up, Different Worlds by Swedish progressive metal band Evergrey.
Let’s not mix words: worst song ever.
Eighth track on their third album, In Search of Truth. The album is a concept album. The concept is simulated alien abduction. True to concept, some of the lyrics:
All my pride has [...]

(Warning: this post is not actually about Facebook.)
You could rank the anticipation of it somewhere between the second-coming and The Return of Jafar.
That’s right. The movie.
I’m sure you’ve heard about it by now. I’m sure you have at least a dozen reasons why this movie should not be made. I have a baker’s dozen. But [...]

I like a Taylor Swift song.
No, please. I’ll wait for the laughter to stop, the dropped-jaws to close, the head-shaking to slow to an “embarrassed for me” stare.
Ready?
Okay.
It’s You Belong With Me.
Okay. You’ve started laughing again, haven’t you? I can tell. Come on. Focus.
Good?
Now, as I was saying, it’s You Belong With Me. The first [...]

I would never wish death on anyone.
But…
… there are definitely a few people who could take an absence of unending permanence.
With the sad news of the passing of Ted Kennedy last night, it seems like this summer has seen the deaths of a lot of people of massive celebrity and social importance. I don’t know [...]

So, um, have you seen Shakira’s video for She Wolf? If you’re not already laughing out loud, I’ll take that as a “no.”
I can’t embed the video. Thanks, Sony Entertainment. But I can show a still shot of what looks like her dancing inside some sort of human orifice.
Nothin’ says lovin’ like dancin’ in a [...]
heartbroken.

If you don’t get it, you don’t get it. There are a lot of people who don’t and I understand that.
But, for many of us, losing Michael Jackson is heartbreaking.
It’s not that I don’t care about the widely-believed rumors. I did and I do believe that there was much more to those rumors than an [...]

Underwhelmed by last night’s SYTYCD, I sorted through my go-to-channels (Discovery, NatGeo and Animal Planet). At any given moment, there is a show on at least one of those channels featuring adventurists gone wild, seemingly begging for a no-casket-death and poking at the fragile human/wildlife balance. I found “Lion Feeding Frenzy.”
The premise? Well, you can [...]

There have been so many classic collaborations in music:
Nat and Natalie.
Ella and the Duke.
Louis Armstrong and Oscar Peterson.
The Captain and Tennille.
And while watching an episode of Crossroads¹ yesterday which featured Maroon 5 and Sara Evans performing duets of each other’s songs, I watched this clip of She Will Be Loved:
It was [...]
