Best Christmas Movies!

1. Home Alone



I wonder how many kids in the 90s caused real physical harm to their parents after this film?

However, Home Alone was not all gags and laughter as this weirdo proves - someone videotaped their TV so they could post "the sad part of Home Alone" on YouTube.



(2) A Christmas Story



Oh Ralphie! (This may have been #1 but for weird racist scenes at the Chinese restaurant)

(3) It's a Wonderful Life


Its-a-Wonderful-Life-Lost-End
Uploaded by y10566. - Full seasons and entire episodes online.

Stupid Uncle Billy almost ruined everything!!! Here's SNL's lost ending.

(4) National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation



Randy Quaid's finest hour.

(5) Love Actually



All I want for Christmas is Rodrigo Santoro!

The Most Disgusting News Story Ever

So today, I decided to see what was new in the world and went to the Toronto Star's website. One of the top stories on their main webpage was not about tensions in Korea or massacres in the Ivory Coast, but rather about pigeons "under attack" in a downtown park. I happen to work right beside the park, so I clicked on the page - and I saw the most fucking disgusting photo. Check it out here:

The real eternal question: How'd it get burned?

full disclosure: i never really get New Yorker cartoons. a play on words, you say? meh. Maybe it's too high brow for the likes of someone who faithfully "reads" Sherman's Lagoon and consistently guffaws at his (and his lagoon mates) high jinks (it's also his endearing lil'fins). anyhoooodle. here is a new yorker cartoon that encapsulates the acting prowess of one Nicolas Kim Coppola in a movie i will never see (because i am a fucking wuss, see: affinity for Sherman's Lagoon) - Wicker Man.

Because love isn't just for the young folk



Happy tears alert!! So here's the story. A flight attendant chats up an old man and finds out that he's on his way to meet his high-school sweetheart, whom he hasn't seen in 62 years. The rest is just adorable!

Double Dream Hands!!



There's a lot going on here. A grown man, who looks like he just stepped off a shift at an electronic store, walks through the kind of choreography my friends and I use to come up with in grade 4. Come to think of it, "Just Like a Prayer" could have really used some double dream hand action. This man gets an A+ for enthusiasm alone. Love the freestyle at the 2:38 mark!

Another Reason to Love Jon Hamm: He Hates Pants!

Although Jonathan Daniel "Jon" Hamm looks stunning in everything, we would all like to catch a glimpse of him in nothing. While lending his voice to The Simpsons, ETonline reported that Hamm stated, "You don't have to shave. I was considering not wearing pants...this is fantastic. I could do this again."

A while ago, it was reported that Jon Hamm also does not care for underwear (see October 24 post below). So, if I do the math properly, no pants + no underwear = mindblowing hotness.

Gossip girl - Chuck

-Has Serena gotten skinnier?

-Cleavage shots on this show have shifted from Serena's cans to Dan's furry moobs.

-Poor Rufus, just sitting home all day, changing sweaters and worrying about everyone.

-Question: does anyone in the US lock their doors?

-I love how the producers used every stereotype in order to create a wild party - beer pong! body shots! drugs!

-The absinthe flashback was weeeeeeird. Damien was a nerd doing Serena's homework? Alcohol affects you instantaneously?

-"He was, like, the only guy to ever say no to me" - Serena. Same as my life. Except replace "guy" with "Starbucks employee" and replace "no" with "yes" and replace "me" with "my request for a free breakfast sandwich" (that's actually a lie, he said no too).

-Wait? How did Ben know Nate? And how did Juliet get past the strict Ostroff security team?

-Townies are, like, so gross. Ew, it's like, get out of your town, and go to some other town.

-Wow, Lily is like f-ing Godzilla in this episode, destroying everything in her path

-I do enjoy a good Blair and Dan banter

-Um, so what was Ben's original evil plan? To destroy Serena, but without hurting her? And how did Serena just waltz into a secure facility? And why is she dressed like a hoochie in prison? And why do I bother asking logical questions about this show? And why do I even watch this show, given that I am 30 years old? Oh wait. The answer to that last question is Rufus. Straight up.

- Like Juliet, I also lounge around the privacy of my home in backless, skin-tight dresses

- "coveat"?

- Note to self: buy a front wrap camel coat

- Nate's mom = emaciated horse.

- Where's Grandfather in all this mess?

- "Vanessa" "bodega" - did Dan just make a racist comment? (Or am I are racist for thinking that's racist?)

- Jenny looks like Skinny Marie (if you don't know, it's a Pretty Woman reference)

- Detective Dan is turning into Psychiatrist Dan. With moobs.

- Rufus get on your goddamned 1993 cellphone and call Lily to let her know the truth about Serena!

- Smart idea Juliet - dress like a skank in a male prison.

- Rufus outdid himself for that feast! I need a kept man, but I don't think I have enough wool sweaters to tempt Ruf

- Best episode ever - getting rid of Jenny AND Vanessa? This IS Thanksgiving!

I remember when I was 14 being in love with Prince William. Then he started looking a little too Charles-y. I know everyone thinks Harry's the hot one, but I just can't get over the racist mishaps.

So, speaking of proposals, we have put together the all time best movie proposals (that we could find clips of):

(1) Sweet November



Finally, a happy Keanu. This was definitely Oscar worthy.

(2) Pride & Prejudice - BBC Version!



My affections for Mr. Darcy's hat are unchanged. Okay, there is no official proposal on screen, but I imagine him going down on one knee in a wet white shirt declaring her eyes to be "fine" and that she is the handsomest woman of his acquaintance and asking her to marry him.

(3) When Harry Met Sally



Sniff, sniff. I love you too Harry!

- Who is making concentric circles with coloured pencils about Serena, Dan and Nate? It's definitely a man's hands...but why who would consider them all "cute"? Ah. The gay boys. But, "sincere poetry" is used to describe Dan and Serena?? And "athletic lacrosse" is used to describe Nate and Serena??! Someone didn't pay attention in grade four.

-Retraction and apology Serena? Looks like you will have to recall every tabloid ever made (get it? because she's a floozy! ha ha!)

-Do you think Dorota hides behind the door every time Blair is in a room on the off chance she will yell for her?

-Checkmate Lily, finally steppin' up her game.

-Ew, Jenny is the "kind of surprise" I receive when diarrhea accidentally squeezes from my butt. Sorry.

-Has Chuck gotten more breathy than usual?

-Did I direct this episode with my video editing kit I got in 1992? Too many wipe shots (with sounds effects!)

-I really doubt Nate would have enough smarts to want to meet at the Frick

-Serena, you had sex with every man in France, and nearly every man on the show - is it really far-fetched for Lily to think there's another dirty secret?

-As if no one can tell Jenny and Juliette's nasty hair from Serena's.

-Poor cherub Eric.

-Wait, Serena has the dean on text message? Isn't there a registration/admin department at Columbia? Oh right. There is no logic and reason to Gossip Girl.

Some crazy grandmother in Florida tried to sell her grandson for $30,000. What's even more shocking is that the purchaser bargained her down from $75,000! That's quite the bargain! I would love to take that person with me to the flea market.

Here's the story from the Toronto Star:

DAYTONA BEACH, FLA.—A Florida woman and her boyfriend have been charged with trying to sell her infant grandson for $30,000.

Florida Department of Law Enforcement agents arrested 45-year-old Patty Bigbee and 42-year-old Lawrence Works on Friday in Daytona Beach after they met with an agent posing as a buyer. Both were charged with illegal sale or surrender of a child, and Bigbee was also charged with communication fraud.

FDLE agent Wayne Ivey said an investigation began last month after an informant told authorities the woman was trying to sell the baby. Authorities say the woman originally wanted $75,000 but was talked down to $30,000.

The child’s mother is currently incarcerated on unrelated charges.

The infant has been turned over to child welfare officials.

Breaking "news" from the National Enquirer!! Apparently Jon Hamm doesn't like to wear underwear!!!!!!! What's more explosive? His co-workers apparently want him to cover up. That's how I know this story's a fake. No one in their right mind would ask Don Draper to PUT ON underwear.

The National Enquirer reports as follows:

"KEEP your junk in your trunk and stop going commando!" That's what the cast and crew of the Emmy-winning series Mad Men are saying about star JON HAMM's bizarre "no underwear" rule!

Hamm, who's notorious for skipping skivvies, even has bloggers going nuts over
his not-suitable for- work attire, an insider told The ENQUIRER.

"Jon refuses to wear underwear and there have been so many close calls on the set that someone finally had
to tell him to secure his goods," a source confided.

"During filming, his character has had to wear some very short shorts, and that's when everyone's especially on edge. Some of the actresses and crew members wouldn't mind a sneak peek, but the majority of the cast and crew don't want Jon to accidentally expose himself."

Hamm - who plays brooding ad man Don Draper on the hit AMC series - is "getting a kick out
of all the fuss," says the source.

"Jon thinks it's hilarious."


In other Jon Hamm-related news, he will be hosting SNL next week with Rihanna as the musical guest.

Noooooooooooooo!!!!!!! Millions of people who wear medieval clothes recreationally are refilling their prescriptions of Prozac after news broke that the Toronto unicorn was a hoax!

According to an Australian newspaper:

FOOTAGE of a unicorn running though a wood has been exposed as an elaborate hoax to promote an upcoming science exhibition.


In order to commemorate the mystical beast, please enjoy this clip from the '80s hit, The Last Unicorn:



And here's a clip of people LARPing in Montreal:

UNICORN SIGHTING!!!


Unicorn Licking the Rainbow, originally uploaded by Lissie_Loo.

Some weirdos believe they have captured a photo of the mystical unicorn:

According to the UK Sun:

INCREDIBLE footage apparently shows a UNICORN prancing through woods.

A group of intrepid myth hunters supposedly spotted the magical beast — but there's more to this fairytale than meets the eye.

In an official statement, the Ontario Science Centre, in Toronto, Canada, claimed to have been sent the footage by a mamber of the public for analysis.

But they later admitted making it themselves to promote an upcoming exhibition on mythical creatures.

The statement said: "The Science Centre is reviewing the footage frame-by-frame to determine whether the claim is legitimate.

"With closer examination, we hope to establish whether or not a genuine unicorn sighting has occurred.

"In the meantime, the Science Centre is asking the public to use caution if they think they see a unicorn - do not make any sudden movements or attempt to use flash photography.

"Although legends of unicorns state they are peaceful creatures, scientists worry they may harm themselves or others if they end up on a road or highway."

During the elaborate ruse, the centre even went as far as to set up an emergency unicorn hotline for the public for further information on unicorns or to report any unusual or questionable sightings.

Centre spokesman Christine Crosbie said: "We've received calls from all kinds of people, predominantly women, and some confused news reporters, in response to the video.

"The reactions have been amazing — women wish it were true.

"Although some keen-eyed spectators have reported knowing the video was fake by the way the unicorn's tail moves and the fact it is not pure white.

"It's still alive in our culture even though we don't have any proof scientifically."



Here's the video, judge for yourself:

Jon Hamm has Michael Jackson Disease, Remains Perfect

TORONTO, ON - SEPTEMBER 11: Actor Jon Hamm arrives at 'The Town' Premiere held at Roy Thomson Hall during the 35th Toronto International Film Festival on September 11, 2010 in Toronto, Canada. (Photo by Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

The following article was published by the Toronto Sun:

The stress of shooting Mad Men has landed the period drama's star Jon Hamm with a nasty case of vitiligo.

The actor's hands have become discoloured in places thanks to the skin disease and he puts it down to the long hours he spends fretting about his character Don Draper on the show.

He tells Rolling Stone magazine, "You do have to be mentally acute for a significant period of time, and that becomes pretty draining.

"I have vitiligo. It's stress-oriented. It comes and goes and waxes and wanes. This did not exist before the show."


Whatevs. Here's a clip of someone filming their TV, starring Hamm playing baseball.

i wonder if rob ford also kicks children in the face

self-explanatory and awesome:

Danza: an insult to the teaching profession!

I recently told a good friend of mine who is a teacher about Danza's reality show where he teaches high school English and my friend felt professionally insulted. I sort of shrugged off her response until seeing this clip. Now, I also find what Danza's doing to be not only career suicide but kind of offensive to the teaching profession.

In this interview, Danza says that there is a real problem with education in this country. Well yes Danza, if they are hiring YOU as a teacher there is most definitely a SERIOUS problem in America's education system!



I love how Danza is an ENGLISH teacher and then very eloquently tells the camera, "you know you think you know so much and then you find out YOU DUNNO NOTHIN"

I did love to see him cry though and would have given my right arm to see one of his cabaret productions in the school auditorium!

here's another link to more of Danza's tears:

Shoppin' Danza!

I was having a pretty boring Wednesday night so I decided to click on Danza's website: dailydanza.com, and whadya know, his website has a shopping page!

Danza is not only selling his world famous cook book, "Don't fill up on the antipasto" but also his own CD! Everyone, get your credit cards out, this opportunity can NOT be missed!




Check out this clip promoting the book! Danza pulls out all the stops to sucker people into a sale: he exploits his son, grandson, got his hair straightened, and even rocks out on a ukulele!

(Not so) Live Blogging Gossip Girl

BEVERLY HILLS, CA - JULY 29: Actor Ed Westwick speaks onstage during the 'Gossip Girl' panel during the 2010 Summer TCA Tour Day 2 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on July 29, 2010 in Beverly Hills, California. (Photo by Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images)

-Glad to see Serena is covering her hooters for class. But why is she taking a cab, when clearly she can afford a personal driver?

-ha ha! size 8 - I love that guy

-why does the prison guy have a picture of Nate in his pocket? Is he seriously on the Gossip Girl website in prison, printing in colour and then cutting out pics? Maybe he smuggled it into prison in his anus (sorry!)

-maybe Dan's chest fur should be checked for crabs

-Do professors really text students these days? I don't think so (said in Kevin McCalister voice)

-Vanessa why are you being so dumb? You're competing with Nate for dumb-dumbness

-Powerful career woman? You are corrupting yourself for a date Professor Idiot (I'm tired)

-Blaming Vanessa over conniving Juliet? Argh! Did they all forget her evil ways from LAST WEEK.

-I love the Blair vs Chuck wars, but Chuck seems a little too vigilante - he slept with his 15 year old step-sister who he previously tried to rape - that's a little bit worse than scaring off Frenchie

Celebrities with Moobs

In case you haven't heard, moobs=man boobs. The word moobs is an incredible addition to the English language, unlike 'jeggings'. Here are some celebs that could use a manssiere:

(1) Jack Black

Not too high on the moobage meter, but he's at least an A-cup

(2) Jorge Garcia

37300, OAHU, HAWAII - Saturday Janaury 30 2010. Jorge Garcia at the premiere of the final season of Lost . The last-ever series of TV drama - which has been running since 2004 - has fans buzzing with anticipation over which of the cliffhanger story lines they have followed over the last six years will finally be resolved. It is estimated over 10.000 fans crammed onto Waikiki Beach to watch the opening two-hour episode of the show's fianle. Photograph: Will Binns, PacificCoastNews.com

Now that Lost is over, will Hurley shed weight and deflate his man cans?

(3) James Caan

Who knew he was so skanky showing off his man-nips?

(4)Ronnie from Jersey Shore

People Whose Hair I Have an Insatiable Need to Cut

I honestly can't even look at these people without wanting to chop off their ridiculous coifs.

(1) Justin "the Bieb" Bieber

Where does it come from? It's like the world's biggest comb over.

(2) Chad Rogers from Million Dollar Listing

Chad is the original Bieber head. He is totally OCD about his stupid haircut and he's a huge d-bag.

(3) Russell Brand

LONDON - OCTOBER 14:  (UK TABLOID NEWSPAPERS OUT) Comedian Russell Brand poses in the pressroom at the The Secret Policeman's Ball at The Royal Albert Hall on October 14, 2006 in London, England.  The event sees the launch of Amnesty International's 'Protect The Human Week' and is based on the series of comedy shows created thirty years ago by John Cleese and fellow comedians promoting human rights.

Russell Brand has one of the most annoying heads ever. He dresses 'rock and roll' the same way rich kids from my high school dressed like hippies. He has somehow managed to only accept acting roles where his stupid hair gets to stay as is. The sad part is that he could have a hot face. Ok, that picture above is from 2006. He has since ditched the hand-in-an-electric-socket look for more of a 90s bridesmaid style:

I don't want to cut his hair as much as I want him to grow some goddamn sideburns!!! You look like Don Mattingly in the Simpsons softball episode:
