Don't use late-period Simpsons, that's worse than the Twinkie defense!

Every time Justin Timberlake tells an interviewer how he would have spent his youth in UCB classes if he hadn't stumbled into pop superstardom first, a teacup puppy is born missing its soul

Whitney fan expo

I am a little bit of an obsessed Studio 60 hater. Sometimes I find myself watching that Gilbert & Sullivan parody on YouTube the way teenage animal torturers watch Faces of Death, with that awful, delicious top-of-the-roller-coaster feeling in my chest

The Muppet Workshop is putting together a prototype Woz right now

Azkhaficial Scarcity

Zapping that shit straight into the Warner Bros. Chamber of Secrets

Noooo. Basically a MPDG is Luna Lovegood with a more delicate nose and an interest in music that is similar to, but a little less less obscure and inaccessible than, the music you like.

I guessed MOJO but I really shoulda known

I seriously never expected this show to do well enough for any mention of it on this website to avoid being followed by the phrase "six seasons and a movie." Of course we'll always have Grimm.

Doesn't it seem like most people on Earth were comfortable with Josh Gad's place in pop culture as the broke man's Jonah Hill? Why did he have to do The Book of Mormon and power himself up to the point where New York Magazine will write about him in a non-sneering fashion? It just made everything so horribly

I would bet five hundred million dollars that this is the work of a Grinnell College student who has just found himself with a lot of free time now that all his friends are away on off-campus study programs so I am not even going to say anything hateful, because getting rejected from Semester at Sea hurts enough.

This is like, certain things, if you start a Tumblr about them, a secret world government police force should dispatch a tough sixtysomething woman with heavy upper arms to run into your room and spray you with a water bottle so you get off the internet for 20 minutes. Don't even think about combining Wire screencaps

You guys have to have at least one editor who realizes that "lady who used to be in Sleater-Kinney playing softball" is, like, not even "dog bites man," but "dog bites man wearing suit made out of chew toys and beef jerky"

I am taking his line about doing whatever his boys are into as an acknowledgement that he lets his kids direct his career, you know, as a goof, and in six years he's just going to transition Reginae from managing his pop career to managing his stock portfolio

That cover art is soooo late-90s, it's killing me. Dude is aglow with concentrate of November 1998.

Attn fellow LayDee Clubbers: John Legend is almost the exact same outer package as this dude, animated by an inner spirit that did not appear in Hesher. I know that he comes with his own set of problems, like being the Coldplay of R&B, but I dunno, I'm just putting it out there. Take it or leave it.

Hedi Slimane is allllll about pretending that 'Kingdom' was an underappreciated gem this season

I'm going to start a dating website that bases its matches entirely on reported opinions as to when popular TV shows jumped the shark. I expect that the first fatal incident of domestic violence in a relationship sparked on UghWeeBritain.com will be reported roughly twelve hours after the episode of Parks and Rec

Except that there's no such thing as "Anglophile nerd disaster chic"
