‘Under The Umbrella Tree’ March 13, 2008
“Wonder why The Klaxons looked so out of it trying to mime alongside Rihanna at the Brits? They’d dropped some acid before the show. Respect.” - PopBitch
‘Chapter 27′ Trailer: The Movie Jared Leto Gained 62lbs For! March 12, 2008
Jared Leto gained 62lbs to play John Lennon’s assassin, Mark David Chapman, in the independent film Chapter 27. I know this because he bragged about it on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” in 2006. Jimmy Kimmel later told Stuff magazine that he could not stand Leto. “He was so insufferably satisfied with himself that I wanted to strangle him,” said Kimmel.
In addition to a bloated and self-satisfied Leto, Chapter 27 features Razzie winner Lindsay Lohan as Jude, a friend of Chapman’s. The film is being released in (a few) theaters this spring.

And just in case you’re wondering - no, I probably won’t stop posting these parodies until people stop making awesome ones.
I Want To Have Liam Finn’s Babies (AKA Liam Finn Performs On Letterman) March 4, 2008
So I included this song in the shower mix I posted back in early February, and if you didn’t listen to it - shame on you! This is one of the best songs of the year! This David Letterman performance is alright, though I’d argue it doesn’t pack quite the same punch as the studio version. The last minute of the studio version is epic. Anyway. This video still kicks ass because I have something of a beard fetish (are you reading this, Sam Beam?), and Liam Finn has quite the sexy beard. Meow.
Did Ellen Page Just Out Herself On ‘SNL’? How ‘Bout Andy Samberg? What’s Going On? And Where Am I? March 2, 2008
Playing Andy Samberg’s girlfriend, Page whined after attending a Melissa Etheridge/Indigo Girls concert, “Why does everything have to have a freaking label? Why can’t I just hug a woman with my legs in friendship?”
The sketch’s ending didn’t necessarily bring the lolz. Instead, it left me with a case of the warm fuzzies. Which brings me to my next question: Would you go gay for Ellen Page? Ju-no what? I probably would. She’s got the cutest little nose, I swear!
Eugene Mirman Clip The Only Good Thing To Come Out Of The Oscars? February 27, 2008
[23/6’s red carpet interview with Eugene Mirman at the Oscars — hilarious.]
Did you watch the Oscars on Sunday? I know it’s been a few days, but gosh um golly gee I can’t stop talking about it! There was that one moment when Javier Bardem said something moving in Spanish (I don’t know what, but it sure was moving!) to his mother. And then there was that moment where host Jon Stewart reminded us that a “moment” took place while Bardem was giving his acceptance speech. That was another great Oscar moment. And those sloppy montages made for an excellent drinking game! Every time someone gets snubbed by the Academy, take a shot of Jäger. Brad Renfro excluded from the ‘In Memoriam’ montage? One shot! Whoopi and Steve Martin missing in the host montage? Two shots! Oh man, my friends and I were having a grand ol’ time!
Okay, the awards show was more boring than a trip to the DMV and we all know it. I kept waiting for something to happen, for someone to slip and fall on that grease puddle on stage – anything! Little did I know the show had peaked before it even began.
There Will Be Spoofs February 15, 2008
I realize that my unbridled love for this movie might strike some as annoying, but I don’t care. I’ve seen it twice, plan on seeing it at least a few more times while it’s in theaters, and also plan to purchase every version of the DVD that comes out. And I’m not a DVD person. So do not mock my adoration. Just trust that this is one of the most brilliant movies of all time.
If you’ve seen the movie, the following video will most likely make tears of laughter stream down your face. I’ve made a point to read every single website devoted to this movie and have now moved on to every single youtube spoof - most of which are terrible. But this one, this one is made of win. It drinks all the others’ milkshakes.
Don’t pay much attention to the video though - the true wonderment lies in the audio. The impersonation is spot on. There will be laughter. Believe.
Yes, We Can — No, You Can’t
So if you haven’t seen will.i.am’s little viral video of glorious propaganda “Yes we can“, you obviously live under a rock. Here are a few amusing spoofs.
Adam Green Looks Like Nicky Hilton In The New ‘Morning After Midnight’ Video February 14, 2008
So I’m sitting here watching Adam Green’s new music video for his sweet song “Morning After Midnight” and I’m all like, “Ohhh, shit! Is that Nicky Hilton?”
Of course not! But in drag, Green does look a little Nicky Hilton-ish and that makes me very uncomfortable. QUICK! Someone tell me I’m straight trippin’ and that Green doesn’t look at all like Boy Hilton so I can get back to comfortably digging him.
Green’s new solo album Sixes & Sevens will be released on March 18.
