And yet, two months later, all is forgiven. Why? It’s hard not to think there’s something deeper at play here.
At the end of the day, Morgan is...

I just discovered Courtney Stodden’s Twitter account and it might be the funniest thing I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading. For those of you who don’t remember, Courtney Stodden is a sixteen year old who made headlines when she married fifty-one year old Doug Hutchison, a small-time actor who has appeared on shows like 24, Lost and Lie To Me. Now, a part of me is convinced...

And Beyonce’s “Telephone” duet partner Lady Gaga (dressed in male drag as “Jo Calderone) made frequent visits to the dressing room as well. “She kept coming over to rub Beyonce’s belly and say hello,” the witness explains, “And the security guards thought she was a guy at first and wouldn’t let her back! It was really funny.”

“This will all blow over soon enough, haha”
- my brain, re: Hurricane Irene.
Here’s a fun thing to do if you’re living in Hurricane Irene’s path -
Quietly sing “Come On Irene” to the tune of the Dexy’s Midnight Runners classic “Come On Eileen” all day long. By yourself. While staring at some fixed spot on the floor. Fun, fun, fun!

“Bridesmaids” star Kristen Wiig celebrated her 38th birthday on the Queens set of her new movie, “Imogene.” The comedienne was presented by the film’s crew with 100 doughnuts, a spy said, which were piled high like a cake. The rest of the cast — including Annette Bening, Matt Dillon and Darren Criss — gathered to sing “Happy Birthday.” No word on how many doughnuts they plowed...

Me (in my head): Kim Kardashian's wedding.

popculturebrain:
Odd that they would book it so far in advance but it was probably the only time to fit into his talk show schedule.
This will be his first time hosting.
Who has two thumbs and is going for coffee on Friday with a lady from a big, fancy arts PR firm to discuss the possibility of an internship? This gal!

Rachel Gets Married
I watched Rachel Getting Married last night and, for the most part, I really liked it. It’s a little hard to take in places, sure, but it is well-done and all the actors are really good in it.
