I've been instructed to use my goodbye post to relate a story I haven't told before. So strap in, kids: you're getting the never-before-revealed tale of my brief foray into reality television.
Sometimes, life is kind enough to fill a need you didn't even know you had. Here, then, is a hip-hop video that stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Ron Howard for some reason. You're welcome!

Davis Guggenheim won an Oscar for directing the enormously sexy Al Gore doomsday documentary An Inconvenient Truth. What high-profile project is next on his slate? The CW's upcoming Melrose Place reboot. How did this happen?
Jeremy Piven is expected to show up for his Actor's Equity hearing tomorrow to determine whether his "mercury poisoning" excuse was totally made up, duh. The biggest hole in Piven's defense? His exhaustively documented partying.
Fire up the chicken dance—or, at least, your best approximation of it. Michael Cera, the lone holdout among the reunited cast of Arrested Development, has finally agreed to do the movie.
Megan Fox and her fiance, David from 90210, have broken up. Sad news—especially since Fox has her now-ex's name permanently tattooed on her body. Which other celebrities have made the same mistake?

Few outlets have done as comprehensive a job at Twilight pandering as MTV, and Summit has finally taken time out of its busy schedule of being fellated by EW to throw them a bone.
Though the new season of Project Runway hasn't aired yet (thanks, Weinsteins!), the show was forced to present its mysterious final collections today at Fashion Week, regardless. What kind of catchphrase-spouting designers should we expect?
In the period we live in, the most remarkable thing about the fact that police photos of a battered Rihanna have leaked is that it took a whole ten days for it to happen.
