It's Not Gossip, It's Commentary

My favorite part of Saturday Night Live’s “The Californians” skit was the very obvious effort for the performers to stay in character. I’m told that Lorne Michaels becomes insanely angry when his performers laugh during their skits, which makes it even funnier to watch. Also, after living in California for a few years, I was shocked at its accuracy. We’ve all been to the party where all anyone discusses is Los Angeles traffic, and we’ve also all encountered a brain-dead-nutjob. Watch below.

When Jennifer Lopez ambushed Jessica Sanchez’s performance on American Idol, I thought, “That had to be pre-planned. Usually the judges are shown convening during the performance, and I smell a rat. Then I came across this article on TMZ, which confirmed my suspicion. The judges new earlier that day that Jessica would be voted off, and the producers pressured them to save her. The entire debacle actually undercut the live aspect of the show, and the excitement of the save. Furthermore, the quality of this season’s performers have to the worst in the history of the show. In fact, I only watch to see Jennifer Lopez’s dresses. Watch the “save” below.
As part of my job, I subscribe to the Facebook feeds of just about every band on the planet. One such band is the Dixie Chicks, who for some reason keep posting status updates despite the fact that they haven’t released new music in six years. Their last album, Taking the Long Way, was produced by the legendary Rick Rubin, and it was incredible. In memory of the band that used to make great music, I’m posting the video below.
There’s a very specific reason that The Killers’ song, “Mr. Brightside,” is one of my favorites in history. Every woman wants to believe that a man would like her enough to be silently tortured to see her with someone else. In honor of the imaginary man who will one day obsess about me enough to say, “I just can’t look, it’s killing me,” I’m posting their tribute video for the song below.

We’ve all been stuck in a parking lot behind the asshole who can’t work the machine, but it’s not everyday that the asshole is Larry David. The Curb Your Enthusiasm star lived out a real-life episode of his HBO show, when he couldn’t figure out how to pay the $5 necessary to exit the garage. Fortunately, a very kind woman freed up the car-pile-up with some guidance. Watch him describe what happened on Conan, and watch the second video to see his melt-down occur.
