RAVE: Julia Louis-Dreyfus on SNL

Watching SNL right now, and I gotta give credit where it is due. Julia Louis-Dreyfus is hosting and she looks really good, I think better than she did on Seinfeld. Girlfriend is in his mid-forties and is looking bangin' in a little black number. It's nice to see her return to her SNL roots!

I also have to say I love Miya Rudolph's Oprah impression.

RAVE: Breach

Went and saw Breach last weekend, and it was really very good. I liked it for a lot of reasons- I like "true" stories, I like spy stories, I like movies that are set in DC. The plot line was really tense at times, it was great.

What wasn't great was that Ryan Phillippe had a giant bump on his forehead most of the movie. I couldn't stop staring at it- was it a boil? Was it a welt from where Reese threw something at him when she found out about his filandering? I don't know! It drove me absoltuely crazy though. Does he always have this bumpy thing on his forehead? I don't remember seeing it in his other movies. Anybody know?

RAVE: Notorious B.I.G.

It is hard to believe that Notorious B.I.G. has been gone for ten years today. Lets all take a moment to remember the music and the man whose death gave P. Diddy a career.

Cause after all, I like it when you call me Big Poppa.

RAVE: Jared Leto, Amazing Inflatable/Deflatable Man

A little late (I know, what else is new), but you have GOT to check out these pictures of Jared Leto playing Mark David Chapman (left) in the movie Chapter 27, about John Lennon's death. He put on 50 freakin' pounds for the movie and became, in my opinion, unrecognizable as the lovable Jordan Catalano of yesteryear, except for the eyes. Chapter 27 premiered at Sundance, and although most of the reviews seem to be really bad- the word "boring" is bandied about a lot- I still think his transformation is fascinating. Reports say that at the time he gained all the weight his cholesterol was over 300 and his doctors were very concerned for his health. However, he lost all 50 pounds in 6 months and is back to his super-slim goth 30 Seconds to Mars look (below, complete with the eyeliner).


Super Skinny Jared Leto, 50 pounds lighter than above.

RANT: I AM Smarter Than a 5th Grader

So I watched that new show "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader" last night and wanted to kill myself after someone who was definately brain damaged in some way won $100,000 for answering questions on the level of a 1st-3rd grader. She quit and took home her 100 grand after the following question- "How many decades are in two millenia?" I know that math involving numbers over ten is difficult, but come on. Seriously.

Here's a hint she's not too bright- she almost lost after the first question, which was "What star is closest to the Earth?" (1st grade level). My response: "Hint: it's bright and shiney and wakes you up every morning".

I know that they are not going to put people of at least even average intelligence on this show. Because what would be the fun of having normal people, who could answer basic questions like "how many states are there in the US?" wouldn't have any entertainment value. But I still don't think that someone who has a hard time identifying the sun should win $100,000.

I guess the real mystery of the whole thing is how Jeff Foxworthy is still employed and in the public eye. It is probably for the pure humiliation factor- If I could choose anyone to taunt my intelligence on national TV, it would definately not be Foxworthy, cause that's like having someone from the trailer park come over and criticize the job you did with the paving stones in your driveway.
