When I was a kid, I begged my parents for months to get me a “Mothers The Pony.” They’d go to toy store after toy store, and no one would have any idea what they were talking about because I’d gotten the name wrong—I, of course, meant that I wanted a My Little Pony. Apparently, Bill Clinton knows more about the pastel ponies than I did. Over the weekend, Peter Sagal interviewed Bill on NPR. After asking some fun questions like, “What is more fun—being president or former president?” and “Did Hilary have to give you any lessons in standing to the side and gazing adoringly?,” Peter got to the segment of his show called “Wait Wait … Don’t Tell Me,” where he asks people questions about a topic they really shouldn’t know all that much about.

Watch Ryan Gosling Sing The “My Little Pony” Theme Song
So, I used to work for Rolling Stone. Peter Travers, the handsome gentleman with the mustache in the video above, is the film critic for the magazine.

My Little Pony Gets A Celeb Makeover
We were unnerved by Strawberry Shortcake‘s updated look, and when we first saw an article about My Little Pony, we feared for the worst. What could they do to already unrealistic plastic ponies? Thankfully, it seems that our favorite horses are not getting a makeover, but that celebs are designing limited edition ponies. LeAnn Rimes, Deborah (Debbie) Gibson, graffiti artist/designer Claw Money, Japanese manga artist Junko Mizuno, and Spanish illustrator Catalina Estrada have all decorated 18-inch tall versions of the plastic horses, and they will be unveiled at a gallery event in New York City in September, when they’ll be auctioned. Rest easy, kids, this relic of childhood is safe…for now. [CBS News] Keep reading »
