Mmm…more Rosie Perez
I’m a man of my word. I said I’ve have the clip for you, and I have delivered.
I searched YouTube all day for the video of Rosie Perez on Letterman last night, but I couldn’t find it. Then I decided to stop being an idiot and check the CBS Web Site. Sure enough, there it was. Or rather…here it is. Check it out. You look like you could use a laugh.
Rosie Perez is totally into beastiality
“Yeah, but he’s old. So I don’t get to make out with him anymore.” Rosie Perez just said that to David Letterman…and yes, she was talking about her dog. Dave was clearly hurting for guests tonight, or else he wouldn’t be sitting next to one of the biggest jokes (ever). Rosie then proceeded to talk about how much she loves horses. But when Dave asked her if she ever rides them, she said no…and she seemed kind of offended at his question for some reason. Oh well, such is the mystery of Rosie Perez.
And periodically during the conversation, the audience laughs (probably just dumbfounded at the words spilling out of Rosie’s mouth) and she always says, “What are you laughing at? What’s so funny?” She’s so dumb it makes my head hurt. I’m praying that someone puts it on YouTube tomorrow so I can share the pain with all of you. It’s easily good for a laugh.
Beauty vs. The Beast
I’ve seemed to have disappeared from the blog world for a few days. And what a day to come back! Rosie O’Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck finally had it out on today’s episode of “The View.” I would have liked to see Rosie throw a punch and maybe even have Elisabeth call her a “fat whore,” but eh…I’ll take what I can get.
Rosie has announced that she won’t be on the show tomorrow, supposedly because she is taking the day off to celebrate her partner’s 40th birthday. Because clearly she can’t take one hour out of her morning to sit down and talk to people. What kind of crazy 24-hour parties get thrown at the O’Donnell house?
Wisteria Lane just became a lot less mannish
OK, if you didn’t watch the “Desperate Housewives” season finale last night, stop reading. Right now. Go to ABC.com and watch it.
The Internet’s been buzzing in response to Edie Britt’s possible suicide (her feet were seen hanging from the ceiling in the episode’s final moments). Some viewers think she’ll be rescued in the season premiere, while others remain slightly less optimistic. But as far as the whole is-she-dead-or-not argument, the Spoon is casting its vote as “yeah, probably.”
According to a recent article in the Actress Archives:
DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES star Nicollette Sheridan is shunning Hollywood to become a horse farmer.
The blonde TV star and her singer fiance Michael Bolton are moving to a ranch in the Californian countryside to escape the stress of Tinseltown.
She says, “Michael and I want to breed horses, and we’re looking for somewhere I can escape the pressures of Housewives. We’re not retiring. We’re just trying to avoid the limelight in our private lives.”
And as for the character of Edie Britt, she lives alone, she was just dumped by Carlos and it’s the middle of the night. What reason would anyone have for going to her house in time to save her? Besides, Edie’s story-lines were only beefed up to cover for Bree’s absence (Marcia Cross has been on maternity leave for more than a month).
So there you have it. Decide for yourself, but in my mind she’s already gone. Enjoy the horses, Nicollette.
‘Grey’s Anatomy’ round-up: anger and disappointment
WTF was that season finale?: Thursday’s highly anticipated episode turned out to be an hour and fifteen minutes non-stop depression. Burke called off the wedding, George failed his intern exam, Izzie declared her love only to get shot down and Bailey (the supposed “Chosen One”) didn’t get the Chief of Residency position she had been hoping for. TV critics and average joe viewers alike will be popping Prozac all summer, desperate for recovery.
The explanation: “Grey’s” creator Shonda Rhimes attempted to explain her decisions behind the depressing episode on her blog. The worst part of all? She talks as weirdly as the characters on the show. Gross.
Seeing red: T.R. Knight first shocked America by coming out of the closet after an on-set scuffle with co-star Isaiah Washington. And now he delivers another surprise. Only this time, it’s an offensive one. Offensive to the eyes, at least. What was he thinking? Perez Hilton seemed to be a fan of the fiery new hair, but then again, look at Perez.
On her own: Even though she didn’t get a big goodbye scene, Addison’s stint at Seattle Grace is over. A scene from “Private Practice” (you know, the spin-off that looks really boring) can be seen here.
A (n amazing) crash course in copyright law
This video, posted on Boing Boing, will make you wish you went to Bucknell. It’ll also make you want to spend all of tomorrow afternoon laying on the couch watching old Disney movies. Eric Faden, a professor at Bucknell University, put together a little video that explains fair use and copyright laws. And he did it by mashing up clips from various Disney movies to string sentences together. Needless to say, the result is too amazing for words. So I won’t gush. I’ll just let you have it.
This Just In chooses Hillary’s campaign theme
The brilliant minds over at This Just In (the ones responsible for the Condolicious phenomenon) have done it again. Hillary Clinton reached out to the public, asking them to choose her campaign theme song, and the This Just In bloggers went above and beyond the call of duty. There isn’t a whole lot else to say, except that I agree with their choice 100% and I think you will too. Check out the clip.
Don’t wake me up if I’m dreaming
The original “Saved By The Bell” series has been off the air for 13 years now, but its legacy stays alive thanks to memorable (and ridiculous) story-lines like Jessie’s addiction to caffeine pills in the episode “Jessie’s Song.” In fact, her drug-induced “freak-out”has become so popular, it even spawned?a commemorative?t-shirt.
But after perusing YouTube for, oh, all day…I re-discovered a scene from another ’90s teen sitcom that just might trump Jessie’s caffeine pill stint. On an episode of “California Dreams” (please tell me you remember that show), Tiffani was under so much pressure to help her team in a competition that she started taking steroids. Her “freak-out” happened at their local hangout, Sharky’s, and … yeah, I’m gonna say it … is SO MUCH funnier than Jessie’s.
I loved this show when I was little. But then I re-watched the opening credits, and wondered how the cheesiness never bothered me.
Jungle love heats up on Passions
“Passions” has really been pushing the envelope lately (and not just with the man-on-man businessgoing on at Harmony’s sleazy motel). I’m talking about the creative envelope. On today’s episode, Tabitha and her daughter, Endora, went on a play-date to the zoo with a girl named Amy Bradley and her mom. Mrs. Bradley was neglecting little Amy, so Endora took it upon herself to teach the deadbeat mom a lesson. Endora zapped Mrs. Bradley into the gorilla cage, then turned her into a gorilla herself. The following conversation actually took place.
Male gorilla: You’re no ape. You’re the gorilla of my dreams. Your lesson can wait; let me show you what hot monkey love is all about!
Mrs. Bradley: Get away from me, you beast!
Tabitha: Oh, Endora, why did you have to turn Mrs. Bradley into a gorilla? And a sexy one at that.
And on top of the ridiculous dialogue, could the producers really not find better gorilla suits? I guess half of the humor of “Passions” comes from the creativity squeezed out of a low (almost nonexistent) budget. Click on the thumbnails below to see more action from today’s episode.
Let’s hope this humor starts to evolve
ABC put clips of its new fall shows on its Web site. Naturally, I was most excited to check out the preview of “Cavemen,” but was really disappointed once I did. Not only is it not funny, it’s actually annoying. Here’s the new description of the show, straight from ABC.com (let’s hope the show is more like its description and less like its online preview).
Over the last hundred thousand years, mankind has evolved from primitive creatures into the sophisticated beings we are today, with the exception of a small minority who unfortunately didn’t physically evolve.
Meet Joel, his younger brother Jamie, and his best friend Nick, three cavemen living in modern-day Atlanta. These cavemen continually find themselves at odds with contemporary society as they struggle to overcome their physical appearance and the accompanying stereotypes.
Joel is content with his life while pursuing the American dream, and has recently become engaged to Kate, a lovely Southern Caucasian girl. However, he must constantly vie for the respect of her conservative parents. Joel’s relationship with Kate and his personal contentment are constantly being put to the test by Nick and Jamie’s emotional demands.
Click here to check out the clip of the show. And prepare to be disappointed.
