God’s new favorite book (move over, Bible)
With Easter officially over and Christmas more than eight months away, God needs something to do with all of His free time. I would suggest he finds a clever way to smite Octo-Mom, but apparently the Almighty prefers to waste time the same way we humans do: Facebook.
Yes, you can now become a fan of God on Facebook. More than 1 million people already have, and they’re going crazy uploading photos of God, Jesus and (for whatever reason) themselves.
His wall and info. are blank, but God’s discussion board is apparently the place to be. 84 discussions are going down right now, ranging in topic from “How Do You Get to Heaven?” to “i am the second coming of christ.” There’s lively debate between people of different faiths, and of course a whole lot of nonsense.
This is fun, but I don’t think I’m going to become a fan. I’m holding out until God gets himself a Twitter.

Hey [somethings]
I probably should have said this back on Thursday, but I won’t be posting for a bit. I’m in L.A. on spring break until Friday. (Even bloggers need a vacation).
Then New York until Tuesday for a conference (and awards — keep those fingers crossed).
Enjoy all of your spring breaks. Listen to “Poker Face” and “Right Round” and mean it.
Tracy Morgan is a hard worker
So I finally decided to stop being lame and make a Twitter account. Or does that make me even more lame? Either way, follow me and I promise I’ll try to be interesting.
Besides spending about an hour discovering the in’s and out’s of the site — I still think I’m somehow doing it wrong — I found a couple of my favorite actors/actresses to “follow.”
The following is an excerpt from Tracy Morgan’s Twitter page. Actually, it’s the only thing he’s written so far:
No one shakes it like CB
Some incredible soul posted a new video of Christine Baranski on YouTube and it is H-O-T.
It’s footage of the curtain call from a performance of CB’s recently-closed Broadway play Boeing-Boeing (where I shamelessly managed to get a photo with her). Once the show ends, the cast comes out to dance for the audience and, while everyone puts 100% into it, no one can hold a candle to CB.
Those maracas. Those pants. It’s all too much to handle.
Evidence of CB’s hotness below. She makes her grand entrance at the 1:10 mark.
Thanks, Doug.
Bugsy, I love you
I had the mixed pleasure of seeing Bedtime Stories, Adam Sandler’s first foray into family comedies, this past weekend. I say “mixed pleasure” because, while the movie itself made me want to drink from the no-no bottles under my kitchen sink, it did have one very special redeeming factor. And it’s name is Bugsy.
For those of you who don’t want to subject yourself to the movie — or are too lazy to look at the picture to the left — Bugsy is a poorly-animated CGI guinea pig with two huge eyes that are always bugging (oh, I get the name now) out of his head. He never really does anything useful to move the plot forward, but he is the perfect comic relief in the otherwise dramatic epic.
Bugsy must have done something right because Bedtime Stories came in at No. 2 for the weekend, grossing more than $28 million. God, I hope Disney makes a sequel all about Bugsy.
Please?
Where’s Sisqo when you need him?
Now that Passions is (slowly being phased) out of my life forever, I need to find a new soap opera to give me the giggles.
Enter ABC’s All My Children. On last Wednesday’s episode, actor Cameron Mathison tarnished a super dramatic scene by standing up and revealing that he may or may not have been wearing a thong.
Fortunately The Soup was there (via a hilarious fan letter) to do the clip justice. Speak to us, Joel McHale:
Think boy bands are dead?
Don’t tell that to Varsity Fanclub.
The L.A.-based fivesome is getting ready to release their self-titled debut album in January, and they’re already taking the tween world by storm. They’re like an updated version of *NSync — more skinny jeans and less frosted tips.
And to stay true to boy bands of yore, I’ve already picked my favorite group member: Jayk Purdy. Not only does he have a bad-ass first name, but his last name is literally the word a drunk backwoods southerner would use to tell someone they’re attractive. Plus he’s described as “the group’s resident prankster.” Fun!
Click on the link below to check out Varsity Fanclub’s video for their single “Future Love.” Each group member gets introduced at the 1:00 point, kind of like B2K’s first music video — And we all know how well THAT turned out.
Double the blasphemy
A few weeks ago, I speculated that A Shot at Love 3 was in the works. And I was right — sort of.
MTV recently announced a new series called A Double Shot at Love in which 12 straight guys and 12 lesbians will face off with the hopes of finding true love. Only this time, Tila Tequila (I mourn her career) isn’t the one they’ll be fighting over. In her place will be the Ikki Twins, a pair of “bisexual” girls who, much like Tila at the start of the first season, have achieved fame through naughty modeling.
As happy as I am to have the show coming back, I’m pretty outraged that Tila’s been replaced. The second season left her heartbroken, sobbing on the steps of her mansion of filth after being turned down by Kristy. And that’s it? We don’t get to see the rest of the story unfold? New York said she’s willing to give it a third try, so why not Tila?
Level with me, people. Am I the only one disappointed that we may have seen the last of Tila?
Happy International Christine Baranski Appreciation Day!
No, you didn’t misread that headline. Tuesday, November 18, 2008 was in fact the first unofficial INTERNATIONAL Christine Baranski Appreciation Day.
But how does one even begin to decide how to spend a single day praising the goddess we know as CB? After all, should we not be treating every day as if it were a worldwide celebration of her excellence?
You could take a day trip to New York and catch CB in her Broadway play Boeing-Boeing. Or you could go online and watch episodes of Cybill until your eyes start to bleed. And if you’re feeling the Christmas spirit early this year, you could check out CB’s performance as the sultry Martha May Whovier in The Grinch.
But since there are only two more minutes left to celebrate, might I suggest watching the following clip? It’s CB performing “Does Your Mother Know” from Mamma Mia! That voice, those moves… this woman can do it all.
God, what I wouldn’t give to be that mysterious island native. Maybe someday, CB.
The perks of celebrity
Does Christine Baranski know she has a reserved parking space at the Shaw’s supermarket in Boston? If not, she should really come take advantage of the tremendous savings.
(It’s entirely possible that my obsession with CB has caused me to misinterpret the meaning of this sign… but I’m OK with that).
