I'm not really interested in defending Bieber because I don't feel strongly about him one way or the other, but I will say that if every single identity declaration that I made in high school were to have been recorded by the popular press and seen by millions, I'd probably come off as prick too- in fact, I'd imagine…

I really don't have a strong opinion one way or the other about him, which I'm taking as an indicator that I'm starting to get old.  Even this story doesn't resonate strongly one way or the other with me.  Not knowing your heritage reflects negatively on anyone of course, but when I was 18, I certainly didn't know the…

Community getting snubbed in all but one category is no surprise at this point.  What I was surprised by was Portlandia getting a nomination in a category they have a shot at winning in.

If you want to get into a semantic conversation about what the word 'outstanding' means, we can do that, but it's not going to make BBT anything other than another uninspired, stereotype driven shit heap that's as lazy as it is contrived.

Zooey Deschanel's role on New Girl fits a whole lot of descriptors, but "outstanding" isn't any of the ones I'd choose.  Seriously, if Poehler loses to her, I'm going to hold my breath until the next Emmys in protest.
