No Hugh Jackman at the Oscars? What are we supposed to do? Our own over-the-top Precious dance parodies? Simon Cowell told Gordon Ramsay to get plastic surgery to repair his crease-y face, and he actually did it. And though he doesn't look all that different post-surgery, Gordon Ramsay should know that only donkeys and donuts let Simon Cowell boss their faces around.
Cougar Town is going to Friends it up even more in an upcoming episode, in which Lisa Kudrow will guest as Courteney Cox's mean dermatologist. You know who else that show needs from that other show? Selleck!
While watching last week's Yankee games, I noticed a horribly distasteful DirecTV commercial running a lot, in which current David Spade is edited into Tommy Boy's "Fat Guy in a Little Coat" scene to tell the singing (and dead) Chris Farley about the merits of satellite television. And while I'm sure you found it to be in poor taste as well, the good news is we were all apparently wrong. It's really a beautiful and appropriate tribute to a beloved fallen star. David Spade's publicist told a misogynistic website so. That is such a relief!
Oh, and speaking of awful things in poor taste, after Microsoft finally actually watched an episode of The Family Guy, they pulled their sponsorship. If only they'd asked us months ago and saved everybody the trouble.

While I'm not a huge fan of the show myself, I have to point out one thing, because this really annoys me: it's called "Family Guy," not "THE Family Guy"!!! Despite the fact that the show has been on the air for close to 10 years, people still can't get the name right (the same thing happens with "Gilmore Girls").
Ugh! OK...rant over. I still love you, TWoP.
Ok, I would definitely watch if Tina Fey and Steve Martin co-hosted the Oscars!
Maybe NPH will host?
NPH hosting the Oscars would be the best thing ever. Especially if he continued the motif of introducing everyone by their most obscure credits.
Thanks a lot TWOP for making me agree with David Spade. I don't think the spot was tasteless. I think it is a great reminder of a Chris Farley bit that people are still quoting. Just because they got paid for it doesn't diminish that. The part at the end where David laughs and says "never gets old" kind of says it all. Please do not put me in the position of agreeing with Spade again.
Totaly agree with you
