Though I appreciate the striking sentiment, Ashton’s Kutcher’s speech at the Teen Choice Awards seemed laced with a depression-filled enlightenment. I suppose it’s nice that he gave serious advice in a young forum, but it made me uncomfortable. Some words of wisdom included: “Be smart, be thoughtful, and be generous,” and “I’ve never had a job I was better than.” As I write this, it suddenly occurred to me that this all sounds strikingly similar to Steve Jobs’ commencement speech at Stanford. Perhaps his upcoming role went to his head. Watch below.

Stephen Colbert Addresses Daft Punk Debacle
In case you missed Stephen Colbert’s hilarious dance routine, I’ve kindly posted it below for your viewing enjoyment. Colbert finally addressed the behind-the-scenes story about Daft Punk’s no-show, explaining that the original interview had insane parameters, but Colbert felt up for the challenge. According to Colbert, they insisted on not speaking or performing, and he designed a format that he felt would comedically fill the silence. But the plan tanked when MTV forced exclusivity, as the music duo was set to perform at the VMAs and MTV didn’t want to over-saturate. Colbert took matters into his own hands for the seven minute segment and performed an “interpretive” dance. Watch below.

Jennifer Garner Fights Papparazi — Testifies for Law
I feel terrible for Jennifer Garner. Her children are constantly photographed for the public’s purview, often put in dangerous conditions for tabloid vultures. Though I understand the argument that she voluntarily put herself in this position, her children did not. I also take issue with the idea that one’s soul is sold to the devil to be in this business at the expense of privacy and safety. If you lived in Los Angeles and witnessed these horrific paparazzi first hand, you’d be doing everything in your power to fight against it. I have not posted one paparazzi picture since launching this blog, and I never will. Watch Jennifer Garner testify in favor of changing the law below. Unfortunately, I can’t foresee how any law could be drafted that adheres to the first amendment, but we’ll see.

Katy Perry v. Sara Bareilles — Is Roar a Rip-Off?
To my naked ear, these songs sound nearly identical. In case you missed it, there’s controversy surrounding Katy Perry’s new single, ‘Roar,’ and whether it sounds a little too similar to Sara Bareilles’ ‘Brave.’ After listening multiple times, I also came to the unkind conclusion that Sara Bareilles’ voice isn’t strong enough for a powerhouse pop tune. Had I not listened against Katy Perry, perhaps I would have thought otherwise. Judge for yourself below.
Katy Perry & John Mayer Release ‘Who You Love’ — Listen Now
Though this is cute in concept and the lyrics pull my heartstrings, the music just isn’t up to par for both their standards. Katy Perry and John Mayer have exceptionally different genres, and Perry just doesn’t fit into Mayer’s very specific balladeer style. It sure will be cute for the kids, though. Listen below.
Sandra Oh Leaves Grey’s Anatomy — Goodbye, Dr. Yang
This news is devastating. Sandra Oh has officially declared her decision to leave Grey’s Anatomy when her contract expires at the end the upcoming season. Oh is an original cast member, and in my humble opinion — is the heart of the show. Her acting skills caught my attention in ‘Sideways,’ and she’s since solidified her chops with a character that is both strong and vulnerable, a delicate balance that only the best can achieve.
