Mr. and Mrs. Brangelina ? is it official?
The Big Spoon’s rumor mill is working overtime with this one, folks.
I heard from a friend of a friend of a friend of a florist (yeah, try tracing THAT one back) that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie got married this weekend in Palm Springs. I guess they really did have better things to do while the rest of us were watching the Oscars.
There’s always a chance this is might not be true, but hey, wouldn’t it be cool if I got to it before Perez? 
More ‘Grey’s’ spin-off news
There’s pretty much two things I’ve been doing on my blog lately: making jokes and talking about the still-untitled “Grey’s Anatomy” spin-off. Please look at the title and guess what I’m going to talk about now.
Anyway, it looks like there’s going to be a two-part episode of “Grey’s” titled “My Favorite Mistake” which will air before the season finale in either late April or early May. The episode will introduce Taye Diggs’ character to the show and will set up the plot for the spin-off (which is still a total mystery thanks to tight-lipped creator Shondra Rhimes).
So it’s time for some Big Spoon speculation, y’all! There was some talk earlier in the season about bringing a new character to the show to play an old flame of one of the main doctors. Could that old flame be Taye Diggs? Could he be Addison’s “favorite mistake”? Will they reaffirm their love for each other and live happily ever after in spin-off land? The Big Spoon thinks so. What do you think, world?
The Big Spoon’s 4 1/2-hour journey through celebrity self-love
My first official Oscars experience was relatively painless. I’ve never simultaneously watched TV and typed on the computer for four and a half hours before, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy every minute of it. From adorable little kids (Will Smith’s son can’t read…and I love him for it) to bitter, over-acting divas (*cough*Beyonc?) it was a night I won’t soon forget. And hey, in case I do forget, I’ve got all my thoughts right down here. Click on the link below to hop into my head and follow my bizarre journey through the 2007 Academy Awards.
eBay round-up: bald Britney Spears dolls
Even though I’ve never actually bought anything on eBay (except this ALF action figure a few years ago that arrived with some unsettling stains on it) but I find myself going on every now and then to see what ridiculous things people are putting up for sale. Even better is when people try to profit from whichever big event is going on in pop-culture. It looks like eBay’s latest “it” thing is selling Britney Spears dolls, which literally means people are taking old dolls they have laying around their house, cutting off the hair, putting them in some sort of Britney situation, and re-packaging them for sale. Here are some of my favorites in the first of many eBay round-ups:
This one looks the least like Britney, but is still one of my favorites. It comes equipped with little Sean Preston and a blue minivan with a little car-seat in the back. I’m thinking the car-seat is just there to be ironic, since he only rides on his mama’s lap. (Starting bid: $49.95)
This one’s a little more updated. It’s Britney in all her paparazzi-bashing glory. This one looks suspiciously not bald…but at least it’s got the umbrella we’ve all come to love. (Starting bid: $10)
This one is fantastic. Britney comes with a giant Ziploc bag of her hair, 2 big bottles of pills, an empty bottle of vodka (duh), some assorted accessories, and her bodyguard, Sven. And of course, Sven is armed and dangerous. (Starting bid: $9.95)
This last one goes the extra mile, putting everything together in a nice almost-professional looking package. It even comes with a little straight jacket. It’s adorable and mental at the same time. This is the only one that’s actually being bid on and it’s going for an insane price. (Current bid: $82)
This is one war I just might have to join.
Dr. Diggs, paging Dr. Taye Diggs
Well, it looks like the “Grey’s Anatomy” spin-off IS going to happen after all. Entertainment Weekly reported today that Taye Diggs has been “tapped” to co-star in the pilot. No details have been released about his character, but if you look at the photo to the left, I’m thinking they might as well just name him Dr. Preston Burke and be done with it.
Since Taye Diggs is available to be on the show, I guess “Day Break” didn’t work out so well for him. But then again, I never really thought it would. The show was basically “Groundhog Day” with more sex and violence and less Bill Murray.
Could Seattle Grace be losing its most bangin-est OBGYN?
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m mildly obsessed with “Grey’s Anatomy.” Okay, maybe it’s a little more than mild. I’m almost positive Meredith won’t die in tomorrow night’s episode (keep in mind that the show is called “GREY’S Anatomy”) but I’ll still watch with bated breath. Because of my weird obsession, I was SHOCKED to read this little article from TV Guide Online that discusses the possibility of a “Grey’s” spin-off that would feature none other than everyone’s favorite pair of baby-doctorin’ legs, Addison Montgomery-Shepherd:
Though unconfirmed by ABC, the Wall Street Journal ? in its “Ask Greenspan” TV scoops column? ? is reporting that ABC is pursuing a spin-off of Grey’s Anatomy, with a two-hour pilot to likely air in May. This additional dose of the popular drama would star every guy Mer has slept wi-…. Nah, that cast is too big. Actually, says the WSJ, it will be fronted by Kate Walsh’s Addison. Meaning your choice of titles is:
A) “Montgomery’s Ward”
B) “Addison by Subtraction” or
C) “Ad’ About You”
The idea of an Addison spin-off is kind of interesting…but if ABC even thinks of taking any of these title suggestions seriously, I might have to stop watching “Grey’s Anatomy.” In fact, I might have to quit television all together. Do you think I’m joking?
And this is how we’ll remember her
It seems like new videos of Anna Nicole are surfacing everyday, just to remind us of why we loved/feared for her. TMZ brings us the latest, a clip of 8-month-pregnant Anna Nicole walking around her house with clown make-up on her face. Seriously…there are no words to describe my emotions right now. Just watch it:
YouTube is full of Anna Nicole goodness, but this one is extra precious. It’s a photo montage of her set to, get this, Elton John’s “Candle in the Wind.” Because, really, is there a more appropriate song? I think not.
Ladies and gentlemen, my new desktop wallpaper…
It looks like Britney’s stint in rehab was well worth it. As you can see, she’s successfully kicked her addiction of having hair. From all of us here at the Big Spoon, congratulations, Britney! You’re now our second favorite bald celebrity. (She may have a nicely shaped head, but she still can’t shake a stick at Howie Mandell).
Even more interesting than the actual shave-age is the way all those blogs are responding. Some are taking the high road, keeping it classy, while others are letting their creative side come out. Check out this gem from the Gallery of the Absurd:
Seeing this act of courage inspired me to follow suit. I grabbed a razor, faced myself in the mirror and shaved off the faux-beard that had been taking up residence on my face for the past week. At first, my face felt great. Like a really smooth pumpkin or something. But then I stepped outside and my face got cold 
Either way, I applaud Britney. This is the first semi-interesting thing to happen in celebrity land since Anna Nicole Smith died. And if Anna Nicole wants to get back in the spotlight, she’d better reach into her old bag o’ tricks. … Can dead women get pregnant?
I’m pretty sure this would still be funny even if I wasn’t exhausted
Here’s a clip from a recent episode of “SNL.” Most of the show’s humor may have gone downhill, but they seem to be on the right track with their Digital Shorts. First came “Dick in a Box” and now this one with Andy Samberg. Not only is he my namesake (and kind of really weird looking - admit it) but he’s hilarious and needs to be shared.
Thanks to the one and only “Legs” for sending me this delicious gold nugget.
I pretty much know everything about Italian skeletons
Sorry for not posting yesterday. You might not have known, but it was Darwin Day (an actual holiday, weirdly enough) and I was trying to grow a tail in celebration. It didn’t work out too well, though. You know, survival of the fittest. I just need to accept the fact that I’m destined to go extinct.
Another crazy thing that happened yesterday: Archaeologists in Italy discovered the skeletons of a 5,000 year old couple. According to reports, the couple was discovered in a tender embrace.
Clearly, these scientists got a little too wrapped up in the Valentine’s Day spirit and ASSUMED that these two died together in a hug. If they asked a love-cynic (such as Dr. Me) I would say they probably died in the midst of a heated battle.
They broke their swords, resorted to hand-to-hand and then fell in a big hole, where they spent their last moments pulling each other’s hair and biting any leg they could get their grubby little skeleton mouths on.
