I didn't like it at first. I thought Gervais was playing the character too broad, really overdoing the mannerisms. For the record, the character he is playing is NOT retarded, not autistic, not Asperger's or anything. He is just different and a bit simple. He is also quite clever at times, as there is nothing…

Somehow, Ricky Gervais keeps striking gold; this time without Stephen Merchant. "Derek" is funny, heartbreaking and heartwarming all in one show. Karl Pilkington and David Earl are masterful on it.

No, of course it did not happen. I was just helping the Daily Mail come up with crap about John Cleese's family, like he asked us to.

John Cleese and his family once tried to force feed me home made pralines and cream ice cream made from a kleptomaniacal bi-polar hippie woman's breast milk.

I'm pretty sure I just contracted herpes reading this article.

Stellar work! Kudos indeed. Loved it; would read again!

Sport implies there is a contest involved, without a pre-determined outcome. Of course, then there is also the NBA, which at times seems iffy in that respect.

Yesterday and today: the yin and yang of Tweet Beats. Yesterday was pretty good; damned good for this site. Today? The pits.

Yep. I have a nephew with Celiac and his mom makes sure there is no gluten in the entire house, even the garage.

Some decent ones today. I even laughed at Zach Braff.

Sure am glad we got a juice color update from Lea Michele. And I shudder to think of someone with an STD in their "salvia."

There was a report out that Upton said she doesn't like her boobs herself.

Dear Ben,

Has Joan Rivers said anything funny or clever this century?

I really fucking love Dean Norris.

Actually, Ann Coulter died of prostate cancer in 2002. Her Twitter account's a sentient emu skeleton with a swatch of eyelid skin stretched over it.

Simon Pegg: YES.

"Hey, uh, Rob Delaney. It's a little known fact that the fruit was named an orange before the color was named."

I would happily accept 50 Whitney Cummingses in the world if it meant there would be less than one Justin Bieber.

I don't understand Julian McCullough's tweet.
