Two more reasons to love ‘Best Week Ever’ (and reality TV)
“Best Week Ever” put up two amazing videos today and I’m showing them to you in case you didn’t see them on the BWE Blog. First, this Rosie O’Donnell tribute video in honor of her exit from “The View.” It somehow manages to be both touching and revolting. But then again, it’s a clip of Rosie moments. So should I be surprised?
Next we have this little number from the new E! show “Sunset Tan.” This clip is merely a small example of how trashy the show is, so if you enjoy it you’re a horrible person you’ll love the show!
Bow before the genius that is “Best Week Ever.”
Niles is finally talkin’
David Hyde Pierce is never far from the spotlight. Whether playing the slightly neurotic brother to Kelsey Grammar on “Frasier” or singing and dancing on Broadway, he’s used to getting critical attention. But now it looks like he’s ready for us to focus on a different part of his life — wait for the surprise — he is gay. In other shocking news, Will Smith recently announced that he is black.
Liveblog announcement
I’m so excited for Sunday’s MTV Movie Awards that I’ve decided to liveblog them. OK fine, I’m not that excited for the actual awards. But with Sarah Silverman (aka my comedic wet dream) playing host, I’m sure it’ll be at least slightly amusing. So watch it Sunday at 8 p.m. on MTV, and check The Big Spoon for my thoughts…however scattered and misguided they may be.
Fly that Wendy’s sign at half mast today
An employee at a Wendy’s restaurant in Miami was shot today, while “trying to protect the chili sauce” (the AP’s words, not mine). Apparently, an angry customer at the drive-thru wanted more than the three allotted packets of chili sauce. When the manager came outside to explain that three was the regulated limit, the man pulled out a gun and shot the manager. Then he, and the woman in the passenger seat [who may or may not have been Birdie], drove off. Fortunately, the manager’s wounds were not fatal and he will live to serve the memory of Dave Thomas another day.
Fergie is the Taco Belle of the ball
Fergie took some time out of her performance at the Hamptons this weekend to give a shout-out to her favorite restaurant (and mine) Taco Bell. I’m not gonna lie. I hadn’t completely decided whether or not I liked Fergie. But after this, there’s no denying the re-fried love.

The video continues on to show Lance Bass getting into a cab, and then some trashy girls posing for a picture. Pay them no mind. Just go back to the beginning and replay Fergie.
Is this supposed to be symbolic?
Miss USA absolutely ate it during the eveningwear portion of last night’s Miss Universe pageant.
Miss Japan ended up with the crown at the end of the night. It figures Japan would come up with a contestant that’s smaller and more efficient than ours.
Rallying for Rosie
As if the Rosie/Elisabeth conflict wasn’t ridiculous enough, there is now an online petition to get Hasselbeck fired from “The View.” The petition, appropriately titled “Fire Elisabeth Hasselbeck,” has already collected almost 5,000 signatures — a number that seems to be going up by the minute.
The funny thing about the petition (or should I say the funniest) is its mission statement.
This petition calls for the removal of Elisabeth Hasselbeck from The View to ensure that all reasonable views can continue to be heard. If you support this effort, please add your signature below.
So basically, they want to cut out Elisabeth so that everyone’s view can be shared…except, without Elisabeth (she’s the token conservative of the group) everyone would agree. About EVERYTHING. And last time I checked, we only watch “The View” in hopes of catching the occassional bitch-fight. So I say Hasselbeck stays!
The awkwardness of adolescence…’60s style!
Someone posted this ridiculous video on 13gb, which features a mom walking in on her son while he’s…um…enjoying himself. I don’t know what’s worse — the mom’s terrible acting, or how disturbingly OK she is with the situation. I’m pretty sure the video dates back to the ’60s, that wonderful era of “your body and you” film reels. I wish we still had those today. They’d probably be a lot raunchier.
I would embed the clip if I could, but 13gb doesn’t let me. So click here and enjoy the awkwardness for yourself.
Bigger pig, cooler nickname
I’ve been searching the Internet for days, looking for something worthy of being featured in my ONE HUNDREDTH POST. An “American Idol” finale round-up, perhaps? (No, I’ll save that one for tomorrow). That’s when I stumbled upon Monster Pig. An 11-year-old boy shot and killed a pig on May 3 in Alabama that supposedly weighs 1,051 pounds and measures in at nine feet, four inches.
Holy crap! That’s bigger than Hogzilla. I didn’t even believe the story myself until I saw a picture of it. And, like Boing Boing pointed out, it’s attached to an AP story. So I believe it.
So “happy 100th post, Big Spoon!” And may God have mercy on our souls when the giant hogs band together to get their revenge.
And now for something completely adorable
Here’s a quick math lesson for you: momma cat + little baby bunnies + unnecessary woman talking = GOLD. I’m not even sure what’s going on here, but my gut is telling me it needs to be shared with the world.
I kind of wish the little bunny got eaten. Does that make me a bad person? (Thanks to Cute Overload for the clip).
