President God

Sadly, that is probably exactly what would happen.

Chit Chat

When technologies meet...



"You are a meanie."

Chatbots get a little bitchy when they're irritated.

I like it.

Hooray for Bollywood

Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley have started filming three new specials of Absolutely Fabulous in the UK. It's the first time since 2004 that they've gotten together to play Patsy and Edina.

Jennifer Saunders had this to say:

"Viewers in the US have been very kind to the show over the years and we are very happy to return on not one but two US channels at once, BBC America and Logo," Saunders said. "We fully intend to party like it's 1991. When we started filming in West London, it was like time had stood still. It was raining. Nevertheless we are so happy to be working for an audience that has grown just a tiny bit older, like us, but is still willing to let us fall over on TV in the name of PR."



"I can divulge that all of us have got a bit older, though we will be doing our best not to show it, and thankfully none of us have got any wiser. All of the originals who are back together again are still truly absolutely fabulous and we hope that the new adventures of Edina, Patsy, Saffy, Bubble and Mother, plus a few surprising guests, will entertain both our tried and trusted US fans as well as gain us some new friends. We are hugely grateful to BBC America and Logo for welcoming us all back with open arms."

Exciting!

G.I. Johnson

Here is a pic of Dwayne Johnson as "Roadblock" on his first day of filming the sequel G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation.

He said via Twitter, “1st day of shooting. 110 degrees. Bring It.”

I wonder if people could smell that the Rock was cooking?

The other Franco

James Franco's younger brother, Dave, seems to be making his way into the acting world too. He has done a few Funny of Die videos that are pretty hilarious and likely NSFW.

In this one, Dave's girlfriend breaks up with him and, well, the title pretty much says it all...

This second one is a "You're so Hot" contest between two guys to see who will laugh first. The language is filthy, so mind your surroundings and enjoy...

I imagine that auditions for phone sex operators must go something like that.

Shaken up

Everyone at the office (and the entire east coast) seemed to feel the earthquake yesterday, except for me. Of course, I am so used to small quakes from my years in California...I probably just didn't notice this wee shaker.

But this was the first one for many people and it's been fun reading all the reactions. I thought this banner was really funny.



The "devastation" from our quake...one plastic chair tipped over.

We can rebuild.

Free Speech

Improv Everywhere set up a bullhorn on the streets of NYC with instructions for people to just say something nice.



Great to see so many smiles and well-wishers throughout the day.

However, you know there had to be some great outtakes from the local crazies and asshats wandering the streets.

Now that's the video I really want to see.

Full House Reunion

Well, sort of...

Bob Saget gets a first-person demo of John Stamos' "Guide to Cuddling"...



Uncle Jesse must have several paintings aging for him in an attic somewhere in Malibu.

The Olsen Twins probably take turns guarding them.

Wakey Wakey

Here is the new trailer for Underworld: Awakening.



Surprisingly, I really enjoy this series and am happy to see Kate Beckinsale back in this one after she skipped the the previous chapter.

Hopefully this one won't suck.

That would bite.

I'll be here all week long...tip the waiters, try the veal.

Anderson Pooper

Seems that Anderson Cooper got a case of the giggles last night on his show as he was discussing Gerard Depardieu's recent peeing-on-the-plane incident...



"[The cleaning crew] should thank their lucky stars it wasn't Depar-two."

That would be kinda hard to say with a straight face.

Especially for Anderson.

Country Girl

Well, Lady Gaga has a variety of new looks and, this time, a bit of a country sound going on for her next single. This is the new video for "You and I"...



She's playing a man, a robot, and a mermaid.

Now, if they would all just go into a bar together...

Tiny Kingdoms

There is something surreal about watching tilt-shift photography videos of places. It really makes the locations look like something out of a strange children's book.

Here is one of Chicago...



And one of California...



Oddly fascinating and cool.
