Here are some random thoughts from last night's People's Choice Awards. (Did you watch? I kept checking my Twitter feed, and it was almost as if no one was watching.)
The evening opened with a prerecorded scene from the set of The Big Bang Theory, which utterly confused my mother. It was sweetly contrived, but as soon as Kaley Cuoco bounded onstage, the energy seemed to fizzle.
I am not too sure Kaley Cuoco was the best pick to host. Oh, sure, she was game for the job. She was animated, pe...
All you Harry Potter fanatics are probably thrilled that Daniel Radcliffe is due to host Saturday Night Live any minute now.
The wait is almost over! To whet your whistles, here's Danny with SNL castmember Jason Sudeikis.
Digital Spy: Sudeikis "later encourages Radcliffe to attempt an American accent, although brands Radcliffe's choice of phrase---"What up, dude, give me some hamburgers and pizza!"---as stereotypical."
Hee hee. I feel like a lot of folks from the UK have an American go-to voice that is...
"I can't believe that Danielle found a potential buyer for the elephant head so quickly!" is how this video begins.
"And I can't believe it's Jack White!" the man continues.
"If he's really interested in the elephant head, then the huge risk I took is gonna pay off. If not, I'm gonna be out almost 10 grand!"
This is a great reality TV hook---10 thousand dollars are on the line, and it all hinges on eccentric celebrity Jack White!---in this special episode of History Channel's American Pickers.
Mike and Frank go to meet their "potential buyer," famed musician Jack White, whereupon they are transported into a wonderland of taxidermy and Day of the Dead dolls. Jack White immediately introduces the Pickers to "Miss Tempest Storm, the oldest burlesque dancer in the world!" he explains (she's 84!).
The unveiling of elephant head in question is a truly morbid moment---I don't think I expected such a grisly sight---and even Jack White is momentarily taken aback. Then he grins like a little kid. "That is the weirdest-looking giraffe I've ever seen," he finally manages.

Willow Smith, you are talented. Your music pairs whimsy with sass. Even if you did not have two extremely famous, wealthy parents, I would still like you. That is why I am very disappointed in you right now.
You do not need to go the way of the Cyruses.
Am I making myself clear, young lady? You do not need to work a stripper pole---or so much as strike a pose anywhere near one---to further your career, little miss. Not even if you think it's sort of funny. Maybe you can crack these jokes ...
You guys! I'd totally forgotten about this, but I had a subscription to Teen People when I was in high school. I only kept one issue. Just one. But! It's the 1st Annual Celebrity Style Awards issue! That means we can point and gawk at some of the dumb crap our favorite stars were wearing in the late 90s.
Here's a look at the November 1998 issue:
I included a profile of "new talent" Paul Walker (check the gallery!), who will be appearing in upcoming movies like Pleasantville, Varsity Blues,...
In a perfect world I would not know who AnnaLynne McCord is, but this is the real world, where Miss McCord is inescapable. Also---and I am loath to admit this, friends---I went through a 90210: the New Class phase. I don't know! I guess I wanted to see whether Rumer Willis were any good at acting. Don't you judge me.
Anyway, late last night, I was logged into my Twitter account---oh man, this is never a good idea, you guys---where I was tweeting photos of my childhood unicorn collection. I...
I have already gone on and on about how sad the Katy Perry/Russell Brand split is. It is so depressing.
This bears repeating, though: I think the couple is crazy-in-love with each other. Whatever ongoing fight they are in is so stupid.
But this? This is so much worse. The UK Mirror has the deets:
In a bizarre twist of events [Russell Brand,] the Brit comic, 36, has been mysteriously uninvited from a star-studded awards show to avoid a confrontation with estranged wife Katy.
Katy, 27, is collecti...
I just don't 'get' some people. Take Kelsey Grammer, for instance. I just don't understand how his third wife---you know, the Real Housewife, the stinky one---ever managed to incur so much ire and wrath from Kelsey Grammer.
But somehow she did, and even these days, even when Kelsey Grammer is trying to say lovey-dovey things about his latest wife, he invariably manages to end up talking about Wife #3, too, if accidentally. In October, he told Piers Morgan all about his divorce, all about how Real Housewives was his "parting gift to her."

What I like most about these photographs of Christina Aguilera is the way Celebuzz posted them in the middle of the night without adding any "color commentary" whatsoever:
Christina Aguilera was smiley onstage at The Voice panel during TCA's in California on Friday.
Wearing her trademark red lipstick, Aguilera donned a purple leopard print dress for the press conference.
Earlier today a report said that Kelly Clarkson would be making a guest appearance on season two as well as…
Miranda Lambert, Lionel Richie, Jewel, Babyf...
Here is some breaking news: LeAnn Rimes was spotted on a beach yesterday. This time she was in Maui, though!
Apparently she is staying at a resort with her husband, and she is actually visiting Maui for work. I know! I forgot that she still works sometimes. Did you know she used to be a prolific country singer? That was before we became so distracted by her string bikinis and started reading about those instead.
Here is Radar with more on this riveting story:
The country singer, who showe...
When fading celebrities do low-budget commercials for local car dealerships, it's usually funny to me.
And don't get me wrong, these ads are funny, too, but good grief, it's Gary Busey. Gary-freaking-Busey. Oscar-nominated Gary Busey.
And I mean, sure, that nomination was a little while ago, OK, but "Scare up a Kia with Gary Busey in Houston"?!

I don't know whether you guys already know this about screen legend Gary Oldman, so I'll just tell you: the man supplies his voice to a lot of video games. Like, a lot of video games.
Like, Medal of Honor and a couple Call of Duty games, for instance. Like, Gary Oldman has participated in almost as many video games as Tim Curry has. Which, like, OK, that's a lot of video games.
This said, I don't think you really have to be a fan of Call of Duty: Black Ops to really, really, really, really...
