The film experience I’ve been longing for is here! “American Juggalo” is Sean Dunne’s short documentary filmed at this year’s Gathering of the Juggalos. I’m still trying to wrap my mind around this misunderstood subculture. I know they paint their faces, drink Faygo, listen to “horror rap,” and are “down with the clown until dead in the ground.” But what does that mean exactly?
Yee haw! It’s a new “Muppets” spoof trailer. This time Fozzie Bear, the Swedish Chef, Jason Segel and crew have created “The Pig With The Froggy Tattoo,” their take on “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.” This should start your Friday lunch hour off on the right note. [Huffington Post] Keep reading »
Jeff Tweedy of Wilco is mourning the fact that the Black Eyed Peas retired their classic “My Humps.” At a book party this week, Jeff took the stage and did a dramatic reading of the song. Wow, I didn’t think the lyrics could sound any more inane, but they really can. Do I smell a collaboration coming on? [Huffington Post] Keep reading »
Evan Rachel Wood is my favsies. And not just because she’s from my hometown and played Queen Sophie Anne on “True Blood.” At the after-party for “Ides of March” at the Venice Film Festival, she hopped on stage and did a rousing rendition of 4 Non Blondes’ “What’s Up?” in front of George Clooney and company. Coincidentally, yesterday, I saw that this song was voted the 10th worst song of the ’90s by Rolling Stone readers. Which makes me sad for the world because it’s obviously awesome.

Gerard Depardieu is apparently not too embarrassed by the incident last month whereby he peed himself on an airplane from Paris to Dublin when a flight attendant told him he couldn’t use the bathroom. As any self-respecting actor would do, he has gone the route of self parody, making this clip for French television. In the spoof, he appears as Obelix, the French cartoon character who wears a funny metal hat with braids attached, eats wild boar, and is almost as well know as Pepé Le Pew. Apparently, Gerard will be starring in a live-action Obelix movie that will come out next year. Anyone speak French and feel like translating? I can almost hear Anderson Cooper laughing already.

Last month, I let you know that the Cartoon Network was working on a live-action version of “Captain Planet,” the ’90s cartoon that encouraged kids to recycle and turn off lights. Well, either great minds think alike, or Funny or Die totally cribbed the idea. Because in this vid, they have Don Cheadle play the do-gooding super hero. Only, after zapping some nasty contractors, Captain Planet goes crazy and starts turning everything and everyone—including puppies and babies—into trees. Also, his superhero sparks come from his penis. Hilarious. [Huffington Post] Keep reading »
Apparently, our dear Snooki has always wanted to be an anchorwoman. And so the site Cambio is giving her the opportunity with their new series, “The News According To Snooki.” Here, the debut episode, which is 2 minutes and 57 seconds of Snooki opining on the news. Her take on Hurricane Irene? “I live in the East Coast, so that’s really, really scary,” she says. “When you’re powerless, you can’t like straighten your hair, blow-dry your hair, go on Twitter, go on Facebook. You can’t talk on the phone You just sit there and do nothing—you can’t even watch TV.” She also has an opinion on Beyonce and Jay-Z’s baby, who will be “tan obviously.” She also reports on a 75-year-old who got breast implants, eats a pickle, and reveals that she believes in aliens because they help her find her way home from the club when she’s drunk. CNN, got on this. [Cambio] Keep reading »
This feisty feline, who looks suspiciously like my cat Cleo, sure out-meows Madonna. In a truly awesome set of videos, MTV has commissioned cats and dogs to recreate iconic moments from the VMAs over the years. This one is, of course, Madonna’s performance of “Like a Virgin” from the very first VMAs in 1984.

Disclaimer: You may want to flog me for what I’m about to say, but I must say it. As a person who has suffered a serious bout of depression, I have the utmost empathy for anyone who is suicidal. But I just have to question Danielle Staub‘s motivation for doing an interview with “Entertainment Tonight” in which she says that she was suicidal after appearing on “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.” It seems a little like she is trying to capitalize on Russell Armstrong’s suicide because, in true form, she jumped at the opportunity to force herself into the spotlight. Now, if I’m wrong about Staub’s motivations, then I’m sorry. But why would she share her suicidal thoughts with her kids? And why would she tell us about it? Why, if she thinks the pressures of reality television contributed to her depression, would she continue to be part of that world? (She is currently a cast member on Vh1′s “Famous Food”). Something about her confession doesn’t sit right with me. This woman needs to sit down with a professional, not “ET.” [ONTD]
