A recent article about the duo in British magazine Q hinted that Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement are ready to pursue other avenues, and that the juices of creativity are becoming harder to squeeze out.

McKenzie told the mag:

The second series seems to me like it would be a good end to the show. I feel like another 10 … That will be enough.

Though the second season hasn’t even been completed yet — HBO also has not confirmed when said season will air — I think it’s safe to enter a state of pre-mourning for the adventures of these two lovable goons.

And as if that combination wasn’t enough to put me in a joyful coma, they are about to be joined by Missi Pyle! Yes, Missi Pyle. You’ve probably seen her in a million movies yet still have no idea who she is.

C.B., Missi Pyle and Crystal Connor Gina Gershon on the same stage?! If I don’t make it to a performance over Thanksgiving break, I will lose all respect for myself.

For those of you who need a little reminder of how fantastic Missi Pyle is, here is a montage of Missi photos I found on YouTube. Warning: Do not watch if the sight of a beautiful woman makes you squeamish.

(Side note: A friend of mine just read my post and said, “Christine Baranski? Wasn’t she in the Beverly Hillbillies movie?” And no, that was Lily Tomlin. He will be punished for this error).

I’m back from my semi-sabbatical and ready to keep dishing the same ol’ garbage you’ve all come to know and love. (I’m talking to you, Tila fans. I know you read this).

Our world is never short on ridiculous things to cover, and I promise to never be short on snark.

Special note to (my fellow) broke college kids: Check out The Ithacan’s newest blog, Two Cents. Not only is it written by our fine-ass Editor in Chief — seriously look at that logo. She’s a babe — but it’ll be a great place to vent about your empty pockets and maybe find some ways to make them full again

I probably should have written this back in May or June, but it’s better late than never.

In case you haven’t noticed, The Big Spoon’s posts have been nonexistent slower than usual this summer. I had a pretty busy summer — juggling two internships with The Hollywood Reporter and Star Magazine in New York — so I decided to go on a little hiatus.

Regular posting will resume next Thursday (August 28th), along with new posts from all of the other Ithacan blogs. So keep your eyes peeled!

I have been the most religious person since I was 2 years old. I always felt this crazy connection to God.

? Heidi Montag telling Us Weekly why she wants to record a Christian album. She continued on to say she considers herself a “kind of non-denominational Baptist.” Oxymoron? No wait, just moron.

God knows the truth in all of this, and at the end of the day, that is the only thing that matters. Jesus was persecuted, and I’m going to get persecuted, ya know?

? Heidi, again, on her relationship with Lauren Conrad. … Did she seriously just compare herself to Jesus?

I think she is a bitch and a whore. … Actually, I don’t know if she’s talking about food or men.

? Pamela Anderson in response to Jessica Simpson’s “Real Girls Eat Meat” t-shirt. (I guess this quote wasn’t really stupid… just awesome).

Obama Bin Laden

? Matt Lauer tripping over his words on “Today.”

“American Idol” runner-up David Archuleta did an interview with Seventeen Magazine that more or less confirms everything I’ve ever thought about him: He is 12 years old, has a little bit of gender confusion going on, and is quite possibly the most boring person to ever win any competition of any kind.

Here are some of my favorite answers…

When was your first kiss?
I haven’t had a first kiss.

Who’s your celebrity crush?
I don’t have a crush on anyone yet. … I look up to Sara Bareilles, John Mayer and Jason Mraz.

What’s a girl fashion trend that confuses you?
I don’t get those really short skirts.

What’s your dream job?
…If not music, I think it would be pretty cool to be an ear, nose and throat doctor.

What’s the last song you listened to on your iPod?
“Minnie the Mouse” by Sara Bareilles. I love Sara Bareilles. … I wish I were her. She’s so awesome.

Fast forward 10 years: David Archuleta has gotten a sex change to look like Sara Bareilles and spends his free time stalking John Mayer and Jason Mraz, hoping one of them will be his first kiss. Oh, and of course he/she will be wearing a skirt that reaches his/her ankles. Because short skirts are just weird… right, David?

Read the rest of the interview here, along with David Cook’s much cooler answers to the same questions.

First Flavor Flav, then Pamela Anderson and now Bob Saget? It’s as if Comedy Central was invented just for my personal pleasure. I like to tell myself that, anyway.

(And, yeah, I’m bolding names now. Wanna fight about it?)

Why do I love her? Because despite achieving major success in the entertainment industry — she has an Emmy and two Tonys under her sexy belt — common folk never seem to have any idea who she is. I like to think of her as “that actress,” the one you know you’ve seen a million times but have never known her name. (Think Missi Pyle, but less obscure).

You’ll probably remember her best as Selma Blair’s snooty mom in “Cruel Intentions” or as the sexy Martha May Whovier in the live-action “Grinch” movie. Right now she’s performing on Broadway in the play “Boeing Boeing” — don’t think I’m not planning on waiting for her by the stage door — and, even though she wasn’t nominated for a Tony, there’s no doubt in my mind that she brings down the house every night.

DListed has Phoebe Price, Gawker has (had?) Julia Allison, and now… The Big Spoon has Christine Baranski. I hope you can stomach all the pleasure

In the article, Diddy discusses his personal grooming habits, including his ritual of getting a nice shave… down there.

While I’m getting ready, I like to relax with a drink ? vodka and lemonade ? and listen to some James Brown.

…I’m not entirely sure what he means by ‘getting ready,’ but I’m intrigued. His words of wisdom continued on:

Men owe it to women to make sure they are well-groomed. … I wax my privates. I also wear my fragrance, Unforgivable Black.

Honestly, I love anyone who can discuss their dirty south and manage to plug their product in the same sentence.

But the whole Broadway show aside, I’d just like to take a moment to pose a very important question: Why the hell did Taylor Hicks ever win “American Idol” in the first place?! I know he had middle America on its collective knees with his whole “Soul Patrol” thing, but what was it beyond that: His suspicious gray hair? The permanently doofy expression on his face? No, wait… it must have been his impeccable dancing skills (seen in the photos below):

It’s sh*t like this that makes me want to move to Canada.
