Barbara Walters Interviews One Direction — WATCH

I like the One Direction guys. They seem humble, and unlike Justin Bieber, I can actually understand why a tweenie might want to have sex with them (most notably, Harry Styles). Watch below for their interview with Barbara Walters.

Avril Lavigne Covers Nickelback’s “How You Remind Me” — Listen

I hate this song with a violent passion, but Avril Lavigne somehow made me like it. Listen below to to her cover of “How You Remind Me.”

SUPERMAN FLIES INTO THEATERS — WATCH TRAILER

I’m not a huge of Superman. Personally, I think the guy is dumb. All brawn and no brain, as they say. Plus, who’s attracted to a man with a cape? That being said, the new trailer looks incredible. Watch below.

Nick Cannon on Kim Kardashian: “She Lied To Me About the Sex Tape”

Kim_kardashian_nick_cannonNick Cannon dropped a huge bomb on Howard Stern today, and I’m shocked it hasn’t gone viral. When asked about his brief dalliance with Kim Kardashian, Cannon said he ended it shortly after her sex tape reached the masses. According to Cannon, Ray J approached him and said, “You think you’re having a good time now, but that’s all about to change.” At the time of his message Cannon wasn’t aware of the reason, but when rumors started to circulate about the sex tape, Kardashian adamantly insisted to Cannon that it didn’t exist. Cannon believed her, and when the tape came out he was shocked, especially since she emphatically lied to him for so long. Cannon then said that if she had originally confessed, he might have stuck around.

Charlie Sheen to Lindsay Lohan — Where’s My Thank You Note?

If there’s anyone that can give Lindsay Lohan advice — it’s Charlie Sheen. The man is untouchable. The reason? He owns his turmoil, unlike Lohan who is constantly crying “comeback,” only to be followed up with immediate trouble. As for why she never sent Sheen a thank you note for his $100,000 gift, I suppose that’s something you learn from your parents at a young age — and let’s just say she didn’t stand much of a chance.

Jamie Foxx is a Ding Dong

This has to be one of my favorite sketches in Saturday Night Live history. Jamie Foxx addressed the Twinkie controversy while dressed as a Ding Dong, and even Jamie Foxx couldn’t help but laugh. It was just so good. Watch below to see Foxx actually utter the words, “snack profiling.”

Jon Stewart on Hugh Grant: “He Was My Worst Guest Ever”

20121210-110629.jpg“Stewart said that the worst guest he ever had was, surprisingly, British actor Hugh Grant. ‘And we’ve had dictators on the show,” Stewart quipped. He remembered Grant as being especially unpleasant to deal with, and promised he never would return.” Jon Stewart gives some behind the scenes anecdotes at the Montclair Film Festival.

Aussie DJ’s In Hiding Over Prank Call — The Blame Brigade Must Stop

Here’s the story in a nutshell: Two Australian DJs named Mel Greig & Michael Christian pretended to be the Queen of England during a prank call to the hospital housing Kate Middleton, and the nurse transferred the call to a nurse on duty who actually disclosed personal information about Middleton’s condition, and that information was broadcast nationally. The nurse who transferred that call later committed suicide, and the DJs are being blamed for her death, with atrocious accusations such as, “her blood is on their hands.” The Daily Mail reports that one of the DJs is on the verge of a breakdown and is undergoing intensive psychological counseling.

Allow me to take a moment to point out what I think is obvious. I don’t know anything about the nurse in question, but it’s extremely unfair to blame a prank call for her death. It also undermines the depth mental illness, which is not something that comes and goes at the hands of one individual circumstance. It’s a lifetime of struggle, and this blame brigade is disgusting & reckless. As for the DJs in question, lets not pretend as if everyone on this planet has not at one point made a prank phone call, and please refrain from pointing fingers at two people who made an innocent choice that turned tragic. It is wrong, and it exposes a fundamental flaw of humanity — when things get bad, everyone wants to point fingers instead of asking the questions that need to be asked. And in pointing fingers, the tragedy only magnifies. Leave these people alone.
