I stopped listening to "Weird Al" Yankovic when I was about 15, and lately I'm beginning to really regret it. I'm not sure when Weird Al suddenly turned into a grown-up, but his irreverently relevant satire seems way more intelligent and in-touch now than it did in the 1990s.
Why my change of heart, you ask? Last month I saw Weird Al on his Alpocalypse Tour, live in concert---he does a lot of costume changes, just like Cher!---where he sang his Lady Gaga parody "Perform This Way" dressed as a ...
Please, mom, stop reading right now.
Self-made celebrity Chris Crocker---that's right, the "Leave Britney Aloooone" guy---has been experimenting with a new, scruffy look. And it works? Like, it totally works. Not only does the kid look great, he's looking androgynous-male-model great.
Chris Crocker is evidently aware of his own ugly-duckling transformation story, and that's probably why he's been posting his own nude photos to his NSFW Tumblr. Today, Gawker announces that Chris Crocke...
Look! It's totally my heroine, the lovely and talented Kristin Chenoweth, grinning Glee-fully by the Wendy's Frosty dispenser on Monday, June 13.
According to Hollywood Life, her celebrity benefits a neat cause: for every Frosty they sell this Father's Day Weekend (today! And tomorrow!), Wendy's will donate 50 cents to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. So if you aren't already considering adoption, well, at least think about maybe buying a Frosty this weekend. Frosties are really good with fries.
I've always adored Kristin Chenoweth's talent, but only toda...
I realize that almost all late-night talk television is meticulously scripted. But last night, when smarmy Tonight Show host Jay Leno asked Curb Your Enthusiasm's Larry David about his 2007 divorce, Larry's side of the conversation sure had the uncomfortable ring of authenticity.
Larry David on his ex-wife:
Well, she thought that it would be nice to have sex with someone she liked. She wanted to try that. Y'know? She figured she'd give that.... And I said, it's not a good idea. Bec...
Nicole Polizzi is already a New York Times bestselling author, but she hasn't quite finished, um, "smushing" the cultural zeitgeist, so to speak.
The ebullient munchkin recently announced her new line of "beach footwear" and flip-flops, primed to launch this very holiday season. Which is perfect! I always start shopping for open-toed platform wedges in December.
No word yet on how much Snooki Enterprises LLC will charge for those pink sequined pickle sandals, but Polizzi promises footw...
Yesterday, Stephen Colbert delivered the 2011 commencement address to Northwestern's graduating class.
To help you through all 21 minutes of Colbert's speech, I have assembled this handy-dandy Drinking Game! It is very collegiate, challenging the fortitude of your delicate organ tissues.
Please note: Drinking Game Participation shall be in strict accordance with the laws and bylaws of players' respective counties, states, provinces, whatevers, et al. Note, too: I have also assumed that pa...

"A lot of people think that and they talk about nepotism which I think is so ridiculous considering it's obviously not true, because I've auditioned for so many things and never gotten the part. Also it's like, you know, maybe someone can get you one part but they can't really get you ten parts."

Sure, Emma, your incredibly famous and popular aunt, Julia, and your somewhat famous father, Eric, had...
And no, I'm not talking about Broadway or the West End or anything where the vast majority of us won't be able to see it. I'm talking about a film version. It's ok, I squealed too.
The immensely talented Hugh Jackman is currently in talks to star as Jean Valjean, and if it's made official, he'll be the first actor to sign on to the project. Which means we can spend hours and hours talking about who Hugh's perfect Javert would be. Or I can spend hours and hours talking to my guinea pig about who Hugh's perfect Javert would be. Either way, ...
It's called Pottermore, and that little screencap above is the only thing there so far. Well, that, and if you click on one of the owls, you get linked to a YouTube page with a countdown to an announcement from JK Rowling (five days!), and the caption for the video is "The owls are gathering ... find out why soon." Kind of cryptic, right? WHAT COULD IT BE?!
My biggest Harry Potter dream would have to be another seven books, all about the Marauders. You know, like the same structure as the seven Harry Potters, except with Harry's dad an...
