2013 just started looking a whole lot sweeter...

CCOKCs speak out

Child celebrities will no longer let Kirk Cameron speak for them

CCOKC - Child Celebrities Opposing Kirk Cameron - watch more funny videos

Thanks, Bruns!

Like waffles and whipped cream...

Someone had the genius to combine two of the best things in the world: Friday Night Lights and Parks and Recreation. Ladies and gentlemen, I present Clear Eyes, Full Parks, Can't Lose:




Donna: When we canceled on him, he took another gig in Eagleton. At a library.
Tom: That’s literally the worst place I could imagine.
Freddy Spaghetti - Season 2, Episode 23



Jason: Where’s my Nevermind CD?
Mrs. Street: I don’t know…
Jason: I’m crippled and I want to listen to Nirvana! Is that so hard to understand?
Nevermind - Season 1, Episode 11

This page is the new hot thing that is making the rounds on the interwebs, to which the founders responded in the best possible way ever: "That was enough to make us float into waffle-plus-Alamo-Freeze-ice-cream-plus-Snakejuice-filled dreams of utter bliss." Sigh, finally, someone who understands me.

The charmfest continues

Jimmy Fallon and Michelle Obama (seriously, can I vote for her?) wind their way even further into my heart with their head to head fitness challenge (potato sack race, anyone?) to promote the Let's Move initiative:



In case you've forgotten about some of the other amazing things fallon has given us, here's just a little reminder:





and my personal favorite- Fallon vs. the cast of Parks and Rec in a Glee spoof (sadly, there's not a good version to embed)

go down the rabbit hole...

shows referencing shows referencing shows referencing shows...

how incredibly badly do you want to be at this table?

as if she wasn't completely awesome, weird, talented, interesting & inspiring enough...

... mother monster, lady gaga, announced thursday that she is launching her born this way foundation at harvard university in late february. the foundation will "explore the best ways to reach youth and create a new culture of kindness, bravery, acceptance and empowerment." SO. FUCKING. COOL.

for more lady gaga radness, check out the video message that she emailed to toronto teen activist, jacques st. pierre, in september. she's decked in sea foam and sincerity.



put your claws up: you already know that gaga received a horde of grammy nominations, including album of the year, but did you know that she's received a GLAAD media award nom for outstanding music artist? she did.

anyone else...

... totally adore this?

(i know, right?)

DUUUUUUUUUUUDE!

I don't know what this possibly has to do with a car...

... but i kinda want to buy it (mostly based on the greyhound's appearance at the end)



Well played, Volkswagon.

i like you now, giuliana rancic.

man, i used to really not like e!'s giuliana rancic. she was always super annoying when interviewing celebs on the red carpet and she wouldn't shut up about about her freaking "the apprentice"-winning husband.

however, i'm really starting to come around. rancic has handled her public battle with breast cancer with grace, humor, style and moxie. for example, she told people, "i don't give two shits about my breasts." see? moxie.

brava, giuliana. i'll see you on "fashion police." and the red carpet. just don't scare brad and angelina this time, k?


note: i don't know the formatting in this post is so wonky. i blame my lack of computer programming skills. apologies.

i just had a heart attack of cuteness!!!!

DOGS!

check out uggie from the artist and cosmo from beginners in the hollywood reporters' "oscar buzz dogs" photo shoot! turns out, there's an actual fan-based push for uggie to receive an oscar nomination for best supporting actor! (they'd also like critic's choice awards nominee andy serkis recognized for his role as ceasar in the rise of the planet of the apes!)

i mean, i know it's kind of ridiculous; but on the other hand, is it any crazier than john goodman NOT being nominated for the big lebowski? WELL, IS IT???

Fair question

The set of Community asks something that's been on a lot of our minds...



In better news, it appears that Greendale Human Beings fans can relax, because Community will be returning to the air! According to NBC Entertainment President Robert Greenblatt, “Community is coming back. We just had to get some stuff moved around for midseason, but it’s not going anywhere. I can’t say anything about next season yet, but the fact that people think it’s gone … I need to fix that.”

this is the bestest thing that happened to me today!

holy baby jesus, i love michael shannon. like, a lot. he ruled in revolutionary road and my son my son what have ye done, and the missing person made my top ten last year.

this year, he stars in take shelter (will it make our top tens??) and this adorable lil' beaut. love!

File this under things I wish existed when I had a dorm room to hang it in.

There's always money in the banana stand...

Remember how supposedly god is good and we're going to finally get an Arrested Development movie? (I know, just take a minute to savor it). While I will not relax until the film has a release date and I can put on my cutoffs and ride my segway over to the theater, I AM pretty excited about each piece of news that it's getting closer and closer. To that end, apparently the storyline will officially be announced in the next few weeks. BUT to hold you over, there is a rumored plot going around that sounds like it's got potential for some true (meta) awesomeness:

Ron Howard is making a movie about the Bluths using an A-List cast. But Dr. Tobias plays himself because nobody wants to play him in the movie. The Bluths decide to make their own movie in contention with Ron Howard’s.

yes, please.

Before they were famous...

Witness Jake Gyllenhaal before hitting puberty, Sarah Jessica Parker's "Annie" haircut, and proof that Scarlett Johansson was always a bad actress.



All of those freak me out less than Ben Stiller in "The Hustler of Money", though.

Pixar can make you cry in under 4 minutes

The proof?



The latest in Kees van Dijkhuizen‘s The Films Of clip compilation series.

nerd alert

How many nerd fan-doms (that I'm a member of) can you please at once?



You've covered your Whedon fans (Summer Glau), True Blood fans (Ryan Kwanten), Community fans (Abed! or, you know, Danny Pudi), Game of Thrones fans (Peter Dinklage, even more awesomely from The Station Agent), plus a little Steve Zahn on the side. This movie might be made for me.

you like dancing? and singing? and nph? me too!

you're welcome!
