The MTV Movie Awards are coming up and promos for the show are just starting to come out. This one starring Tom Cruise and Taylor Lautner is pretty fucking hilarious and if this is any indication of how funny the show (hosted by Aziz Ansari) will be, then welllllllll… it won’t be another Wayans Brothers at the VMAs incident.

Tom Cruise has a history of doing funny things for the Movie Awards. You all probably remember this great bit he did with Ben Stiller back in the Mission: Impossible days. For a crazy person, the guy’s pretty on point.

It’s no secret that I’m a little bit obsessed with Rihanna’s style, so it should come as no surprise that I am posting fourteen photographs of what she wore while walking around Old Jerusalem with her body guards yesterday. How can you resist her? Even her nails are perfect. That reminds me of a certain song.

You’ve probably read by now that Al and Tipper Gore announced today that they were divorcing after 40 years of marriage. Al sent out a brief email to his close friends saying, “This is very much a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration.”

The general reaction from the public and friends close to the couple seems to be shock. It’s not that we thought of Al and Tipper as Brangelina, but they were solid as a rock as far as I was concerned.

Why do I feel like my parents are getting a divorce? I don’t even think I like Al Gore that much. I mean, he’s fine. And Tipper Gore is a lyric protestin’ bitch, so like… I shouldn’t care! But I do!

Anyone else with me?

So, it looks like a lot of you aren’t very pleased with a post I previously wrote today, Summer of Death 2010: And the Beat Goes On.  After reading the comments and re-reading what I wrote, I can’t say I blame you, honestly.

First, let me apologize for my apparent insensitivity toward the issue, the victim and by virtue, his family, in writing the piece. It clearly wasn’t well-thought-out and I didn’t realize just how insensitive it came across until some of you readers pointed it out to me (so … thank you).  While I have a hard time tactfully discussing the topic of drinking problems and subsequent death-by-alcoholism (that’s another topic for another day), I should have better realized that there are many people out there who suffer what is a very real disease, and it’s nothing to be taken lightly. While I won’t go into detail as to why people who kill themselves through the bottle really anger and upset me to the point of irrational ranting (as I said, it’s a story for another day), I do apologize for the crassness of my remarks regarding Andrew Koppel’s death. Realistically (and empathetically) speaking, it’s a horrible way to go and even more horrible for Koppel’s family and friends to have to deal with.

In short, the entire piece was inappropriate, heartless and condescending, and I genuinely feel remorse because of it.

Thanks, and again, many apologies,
Sarah

Thank you so much, Kristen.  What would the world do if you weren’t here among us like a prophet, nay, an angel, guiding us toward the light?  Teach us more, Kristen.  Please let us continue to drink from your overflowing goblet of insight, for that is your true calling.

First The Office, now this.

Hugh Laurie’s contract is up at the end of the next season of House, and he doesn’t know what’s going to happen after that.  When asked about how much longer the amazing show will go, he said

“I have no idea. I only hope we’ll know when the time is right [to close up shop]. When people blunder on for five years after [they should have called it quits]… it gets taken out of your hands. Someone will say, ‘That’s it.’”

He’s also said that he’s open to continuing on after his contract is up, and that next season sometime they’ll decide whether or not House needs to be over.

Ok, I love House.  It’s kind of a problem.  And I know there’s the worry about jumping the shark and turning into shit, but I really don’t think that’s the case right now with House.  I’ve been catching up on the latest season, so I don’t know everything that’s happened in the later half, but from what I hear, the finale was pretty phenomenal. And come on, if Steve Carell leaves The Office and Supernatural gets cancelled next year, that’s already more heartbreak than I can take.

I feel like I’m talking a friend off a window ledge.  ”You have so much to live for, House, please don’t do this!  Think of all the happiness you’ll never see!  Don’t leave me like this!”
