Darren Criss works some wedding fashions for GQ.

Don't you just love everything about Darren Criss!? No. You're loss.

Check out the rad photos of Darren from June's GQ.

I want ALL the outfits. Thank you.

Haha.

Apparently there's been drama surrounding this ad. Doritos had a contest for fans to create their Super Bowl ad... this was one of the submissions and it's hysterical. I can see why they wouldn't air it during a family television event (it's a bit suggestive - gay or not).

It's still funny though.

I'm With Coco.

AHH! I'm beyond excited to have Conan back on my TV this fall.

Here's a little glimpse/teaser for his new show coming up on TBS. It's so old school! I love it.

Also, here are a few videos to remind you of how GREAT he is.

I love this guy!

Dear Jesse Tyler Ferguson,

Call me.

<3 Joe

Talent.

An American Idol season one runner up RJ Helton belting out a truly beautiful song.

He's SO talented!

AMAZING!

People must be eating a lot of snickers lately... I don't know how else they could afford this commercial!

This commercial is amazing. Hands down.

In fact... it's so amazing I'm going to buy one tomorrow. It wasn't my favorite candy bar before, but it just might be now.

Ok, not really, but after the Betty White ads, and now this? It's pretty damn close.

GaGa and Cyndi tell it like it is.

This is a pretty awesome interview with GaGa and Cyndi Lauper on Good Morning America.

They're there to talk about the Viva Glam campaign with Mac Makeup that they're working with. Cyndi's been at it forever, but GaGa is just getting started with them.

It's a pretty good interview.

And I have to say... it is SO NICE to see artists really working for a cause. GaGa's only been around for two years or so and she's already working it out like someone who's been in the business for years. She knows she's got attention and instead of hawking some stupid shit she's talking about women and AIDS.

I love her.



And because she didn't hawk, I'll do it for her.

GaGa is selling t-shirts on her website for Haiti relief. Check those out here.

She's also selling some sick headphones with Beats called Heart Beats... they'd be a pretty special gift for a loved one on Valentines Day. Here they are. They come in a few different colors and actually consist of state of the art sound technology. They're comparable to Bose.

She's also got tickets to another leg of her US tour going on sale soon.

And don't forget to pick up the deluxe edition of The Fame called The Fame Monster. It has all 8 of her new songs on it plus the original The Fame album.

She was also cool enough to release The Fame Monster as its own CD just in case you already owned The Fame (other artists DON'T do this, they want you to have to re-buy everything, GaGa gets that all her fans have to work for their money) at $7.99. It's 8 tracks long and contains a little art photo booklet.

And I can't even begin to speak of all the amazing things Lauper is up to. Check out her official website CyndiLauper.com to see all the great stuff she's up to with Mac, True Colors, and more.

Hahaha... YES!

AWESOME

I'm with Coco

In slightly strange news...

Although I was on a blogging hiatus over the last few months I was constantly talking about the drama between Conan O'Brien and his employer of nearly 20 years NBC.

The television station totally screwed one of their best assets and let him go! Conan was smart though, and it cost the peacock dearly. He's reportedly walking away with over $30 MILLION and his staff is splitting something around $15 million. He's also said he would share some of his $30m with staff.

Conan was the new host of the historic Tonight Show for only SEVEN MONTHS! His contract was for three years, but never specified when the show would air... so when NBC canceled The Jay Leno Show (the former host of Tonight) they were planning on pushing the Tonight Show to tomorrow... at 12:05am and giving Jay a half hour show starting at 11:35, the time slot the Tonight Show has had for 60+ years.
Conan being the awesome guy that he is said he didn't want to ruin tradition and didn't want to be the guy that messed with the show, so he said he wouldn't move to 12:05 and NBC said their goodbyes.

LAME.

So...

Now that things are officially over with Conan and NBC (the Tonight Show with Conan is still airing until March first, but only in re-runs. Jay takes the show back on March 1st - I won't be watching) everyone thought they'd be going their separate ways.

WRONG!

In an awkward move NBC has picked up pilot by Conan's production company Conaco. It's a legal show bla, bla bla...

How awkward is that!? Looks like Conan's going to be hanging out with NBC in a different light for a bit longer.

I just hope that this doesn't mess up his options of going to another network with his talk show skills!!

WORK WORK WORK!

This is so great. Gaga took time to recreate her hit song Poker Face for SNL this past weekend. She also personalized it for SNL and for NY and for her fans IN NY. So amazing. She actually sings!

Eat that Ashlee Simpson.

How cool is that sphere thing she's wearing at the top?!

Amazing.

She's also broken a few records on the Billboard charts this past month, as well as outselling most other artists this year with a debut album. She's also completed a world tour and still is on the tip of everyone's tongues! I really REALLY hope she's around for a long while.

I also hope that she doesn't have a Britney/Whitney like meltdown.

STAY AWESOME GAGA!!!

Enjoy.

PS: I love her new Hollywood glam look.

Woah!

I hate to say it but... he's got something here.

SpongeBob... behave!

So, I've always thought of SpongeBob as being a bit gay. He and Patrick raise a child together, he dances a little on the gay-ish side, he sings, struts... etc.

This ad, however... cements my suspicions. It also leads me to believe Squidward and Patrick are also in the pink.

Check out this new ad for the recent episode costarring Johnny Depp.

Blast From the Past

Someone bring this back!!!! Please!!!!

I miss this show!

I used to run home from the school bus and watch it every day.

INSANITY

This week Tyra Banks' Americas Next Top Model held their annual auditions in New York, but things didn't follow their normal routine!

Apparently a car overheated on the Manhattan street they were on. The car came to a stop, steam started flowing out of under the hood, and someone on the street/sidewalk yelled "There's a BOMB!" and everyone FREAKED OUT. This looks like something out of a movie.

Check it out:

The Verdict: ehhh, oh boy

Well...

You can't always get it right on your first try.

Jimmy Fallon BOMBED on his new show tonight - in my opinion.

DeNiro looked like he was BORED TO DEATH. Even when Justin was on trying to stir up some laughter.

Timberlake came on and it was like two kids at a sleepover talking about inside stuff, and what they used to do on SNL. Jimmy awkwardly asked him to sing a few times...

The whole thing was really awkward.

And the Roots were a HORRIBLE. The transitional music was so strange and uncomfortable.

For an actual laugh, check out Jimmy on last weeks "Martha Stewart Show: The Pot Show" I kid you not, I talked about it earlier in the week. "The Pot Show"

I don't get it but it's dripping in comedy.

fun, Fun, FUN!

So!

I was at a taping of the David Letterman show this evening (Airing on Friday) with some decent guests!

I've been to the show before and... not going to lie... it was kind of lame. I think the other guest I saw was Mila Kunis (That 70's Show, Family Guy), and it was when she was pretty young, and not necessarily good at sit down interviews. Needless to say it sucked a bit.

Tonight was a lot better.

Plus I was sitting in the THIRD row (SICK!!!)!!

The first guest tonight was Jason Segel. He's in the new movie I Love You Man with Paul Rudd - I would have rather seen Paul, but Jason was fun. He actually kept the conversation up really well and had a ton of great funny stories to tell. The Brad Pitt one he tells is pretty funny.

The next guest was a comedian. Brian Kiley. I have to say... he wasn't very funny. David didn't laugh once over at his desk. He delivered all short, brief one liners. A few of them were good, but most of them played on the shock factor... eh. I didn't really care for him.

The top ten list was a bit dry... Top Ten Reasons Why Your Spring Break Might Be A Bad One or something like that.

And the musical guest?



U frigging 2.

It was pretty awesome.

I never thought I'd see them live. Not because I don't like them, but because I don't like them enough to rush out and camp on the sidewalk to buy tickets to their concerts, hah.

They look and act exactly the same as you think they would.

When they started performing I was a little let down that we had to sit through their new single that hasn't received many good reviews.

However, I have to say... I really liked "Put on Your Boots". It's much better live and the guys had a lot of fun playing it. It's a lot different than what they usually do... more on the pop/rock/alternative. But, it's nice. I wish I had heard something different, but this was for the Friday show... so I'm sure they wanted to go out with their first single from the album to drive up sales (which are down, Down, DOWN).

Watch the show on Friday and decide for yourself.

Check out Martha Stewart!

Martha had quite the theme to her show today with Jimmy Fallon!

She started out "Once a pot lover, always a pot lover..."

REALLY?!?!

Wait... you have to click here and watch it for yourself. Go to the show "Monday - February 23rd" and watch the sample clip.



Martha also showed up on one of Conan's last shows this week. She's the first guest... check it out here.

I can't help but think that Martha got her idea for both of these appearances from this womans blog (posted this summer):



What do you think?

What's gotten into Martha?!

I LOVE IT!

Watch!

It seems pretty obvious that Beyonce isn't singing live. Her voice is being run through a completely different system!! And there's auto correct in it.

However... I can't tell if the High School Musical kids are singing or not... I think they're lip syncing, but I'm not sure.



What do you think?

Why do you think Beyonce had to fake it tonight?

UPDATE:

Perez Hilton caught onto it too!!!

The Oscars.

Ok.

I thought the Oscars tonight were TERRIFIC!

The new format was absolutely perfect. It kept me watching, it kept me entertained, and at times it was very touching.

I loved the presentation format for the actor awards, with the five previous winners speaking of the nominees. It was actually really nice. It was interesting to see how the Hollywood heavyweights all interacted when they had to say nice things about their competition and and coworkers.

It was also interesting to see people complain, pretty much in front of the world... like Bill Maher. Sir... we all know you're not nominated, you're presenting the award in the category. Don't tell us how upset you are about it. Just because you're Bill Maher doesn't mean you should be nominated. Obviously there were five better choices. Let it go.

I thought the musical numbers were fun, but lacked something. Talent? Hugh was great and did everything he could, but obviously they had the wrong people writing these things. If you want spectacle, and pazaz, and something eye catching and entertaining... have it done by the right people. The Broadway people. Hollywood can't do it without B'Way's help.

I also can't BELIEVE Slumdog took so much home! I guess I'll have to see the movie. I really wanted Benjamin Button to take something in one of the major categories... but alas, it didn't happen.

What did you think of the Oscars this year? Let me know!

Beyonce Sucked.

I know... it's rare, but it happened.

Beyonce sucked and sucked HARD at the 81st Annual Academy Awards tonight. S U C K E D.

The director of Australia and Moulin Rouge put together a little song and dance number celebrating the musical movie and the "comeback" of musicals in film.

Well, it seems to me that Hugh Jackman was the only person actually singing. Beyonce was canned, and canned her performance, and sucked. Zach Effron sucked... as did his arm wart Vanessa Hudgens. And the two kids from Mamma Mia sucked.

Why put these people on TV to sing and dance... if they're NOT going to sing and dance. WE CAN SEE RIGHT THROUGH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

STOP ALLOWING PERFORMERS TO NOT DO THEIR JOB! Why/who is paying them to do that?! It was awful. I'm really upset that they couldn't hire someone who could actually do both things for all this work.

Shame... shame... shame.

PS

Congrats to Heath Ledger. Completely deserved.
