In October, Adam Scott and Jon Hamm brought the world something called "The Greatest Event in Television History." That amazing bit of TV turned out to be a shot-for-shot remake of the "Simon & Simon" opening credits.

Of course there has to be a follow-up. The next "Greatest Event in Television History" will air on June 6 -- and it will focus on the classic TV show, "Hart to Hart." And Amy Poehler will co-star with Scott this time.

( Fuck yeah, 80's mystery showsCollapse )

Here's the Simon & Simon one. A.J. Simon could get it. I used to watch the fuck out of this show, Hart to Hart, Knight Rider, Magnum PI, all that good shit.

Three years ago I had the privilege of meeting you at a PostSecret Event.  That same night, I also met a guy named Tyler.  He was extremely good looking and we both loved PostSecret. 

We started dating a month later and it has been an amazing three year journey with him. Just last month he proposed! 

We are now in the midst of the crazy, yet exciting wedding planning and I just wanted to say "thank you" for creating such a wonderful project that brings people together - in many ways - through anonymous secrets.

Before the Norwegian band disbands this week, watch a creepily infectious video for its song "Begravelsespolka."



For the past few days I've been unable to get this song by Norway's Kaizers Orchestra out of my head. Blending rock, opera, Balkan music, and a kind of alt-cabaret to great effect, the ensemble's "Begravelsespolka," or "Funeral Polka," is a brilliant, if unholy love child of Cabaret, the Dresden Dolls, and perhaps a bit of filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan.

( akkurat på denne måtenCollapse )

just an excuse to post some kaizers on here. saw them in nyc two days ago and they killed it. posted a few extra videos behind the cut for those who haven't heard of them/want to hear more. haters of the norwegian language can stay out imo

In case you were wondering: Prince Royce is a really good kisser. He told us: “I think I do well with kisses! I think it’s the big lips.” Needles to say, Royce is a king among frogs.

Let’s talk about La Voz Kids. How has your experience been so far on the show?

It’s been great! At first it was a little weird. I didn’t really see myself as a mentor or coach for anybody but myself. Since I started my career, I’ve always judged my own music. Now I get to coach these kids that have the same dream and the same goal as I did when I was about 14. It’s really a lot of fun, and it’s very emotional — it’s hard to make these decisions because I know how important they are to these kids.

Who’s your favorite Latina judge — Shakira or Christina Aguilera?

I got to say Shakira! I think Shakira has impressed a lot of people. Personally, I’ve gotten to see another side of Shakira while she was on The Voice. I think she’s doing a great job, and she really is representing our culture.

So let’s talk about your new albums.
Right now, I’m actually in the studio. We’re planning on releasing my Spanish language album—my third bachata album in the fall of this year, so definitely new music coming sooner rather than later! For the English one, we’re expecting a release for the third half of 2014. The music has been coming out great — I’m just so proud of the work that I’ve been doing and the people I’ve been working with!

Lets go through your firsts! Do you remember your first crush?
My first crush was in elementary school. I don’t remember her name anymore — actually I don’t even remember her face anymore [laughs].

What about your first kiss?
It was in junior high school. I think I do well with kisses! [laughs]. All the girls have told me that I do well with the kisses — I think it’s the big lips. Thank God, right?

First time you used your singing skills to get a girl?
It was in sixth grade. I remember I used to always sing an Usher’s “U Remind Me.” I would always sing that song to the girls I liked. It was my go-to.

And did it work?
It definitely did—it still does! [laughs]

Latina Magazine chose you again as one of our hot guys of the year. How does it feel?
I’ve never really looked at myself as a sex symbol, and I know that recently I’ve just kind of become that, but it feels good to be known as a handsome dude. When it comes to fashion, I try to always be on point. I’m definitely shouting out to all the beautiful and sexy women who read Latina!


LATINA

okay y'all, when was your first kiss & bestest kiss?

Has anyone ever grown watermelon vertically or trained them onto a fence?  I just prepped a section in the back (that actually gets enough sun) for some edibles.  I've had to get creative as my garden has lots of shade.  Anyhow, it runs along a chain link fence and has a walkway, so the growing section is only about 2 feet deep and about 20 feet long.  I have some watermelon starts to put in, but I was thinking that in order to make use of vertical space, staggering the plants and having every other one trellised to the fence, high enough to get it off the ground but low enough that the fruit won't have to go into slings.  I hope.  Has anyone done something like this and did it work out well for you?

Thank you white jesus for sending this anglo saxon lizard king into my life,#twerkforChrist

The 38-year-old son of George Hamilton has had more than his fair share of troubles when it came to drug and alcohol abuse. After staying sober for more than six years and getting his career back on track, Hamilton found that he still had one serious problem that needed attention.

"I suffered from bulimia and anorexia," he tells PEOPLE about the eating disorder he's had since he was a teenager. "I believe it was my problem before I got into drugs and alcohol. I used the drugs and alcohol to control the food addiction."

Within the past year Hamilton sought treatment for his disorder, which he admits he still struggles with.

"I don't have it perfect now. I've been free from bulimia for years but I still struggle with food, restricting or overeating. That's been the hardest for me in sobriety," he admits that during his years at Beverly Hills High School his nickname was Fatley.

"When I speak at meetings I have people come up to me and say I suffer from it, too, but I'm too afraid to talk about it. It's almost like drug addiction is totally acceptable to talk about in Hollywood.

But food addiction? Nobody wants to talk about that. It's really shameful as a man to have that." At times, the 6-foot-3 actor says his weight fluctuated from 180 pounds to 250 pounds. And even now, after he's sought help, Hamilton says he's not quite at 100 percent yet.

"With food it's not black and white. It's: 'Oh, my behavior around food has been better this month," he explains. "You're surrounded by food. There are so many people in our country suffering from this. It's an emotional problem and that's been the struggle for me."

Hamilton's longtime friendship with Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr, who had his own longtime struggles, "helped open the door" to Hamilton's work on the movie.

"But he said 'I can't do it for you, Dude,'" Hamilton explains. "I said, 'That's ok. I just need somebody to give me the opportunity to trust in me sober-wise and give me a shot of this magnitude.' I'll forever owe him for that."

"When I was younger it all came so easy and I didn't appreciate it," he says. "I didn't feel like I'd earned it, you know? Now I feel like I've earned it and I've really worked for it."

Chicago police on Friday night launched an investigation into what led an off-duty officer to shoot and kill his neighbor's dog.

The officer, an eight-year veteran of the force, said he was out with his young son on the 5800 block of North Oketo Avenue, on the city's far northwest side, when Maximus, a four-month-old pit bull, charged at them.

The dog's owner, Samantha Maglaya, said that wasn't the case.

( More douchery beyond the cut.Collapse )
The case was turned over to the Independent Police Review Authority.

According to information posted by the Maglaya family on Mrs. Maglaya's facebook account, the officer had previously threatened to kill their puppy on multiple occasions. (ETA: Further information from the family on the wife's facebook notes the officer had also previously referred to them as "Section 8 Scum" and was hostile as a result of them being the only Hispanic family on the street.) They further report they are hiring a lawyer and obtaining sworn statements from neighbors. They further note in the video that their 5-year old daughter was with Maximus and had to watch the asshole unload 8 - 9 rounds into her puppy.

This is not the first time a Chicago officer has shot someone's puppy. On December 1st, an officer writing a parking ticket shot a 7-month old Miniature Bull Terrier puppy named Colonel. Colonel was lucky and managed to survive his horrific injuries, and the family went on to sue the city.

Colorado recently passed a measure requiring officers to receive training on how to handle encounters with dogs without resorting to lethal force, after several high-profile incidents of pets being killed by police.

Jesse Eisenberg has been doing a lot of press for Now You See Me, out May 31st in the U.S. Usually interviewers find him "intelligent," "hilarious," and "a sweetheart," but this interviewer has a different take.

Watch Romina Puga interview Jesse for her "Say My Name" segment on Fusion (apparently a joint venture between ABC News and Univision):

What's confusing is that even though the interview is cute and funny, her own account tells a different story:

ONTD, what say you? Diehard JE fans are upset that she called out his so-called lack of character, feel weird that she is offended, and think that she is unprofessional; other non-fans believe that he's an arrogant dick. I am not sure what to make of her responses on Twitter: https://twitter.com/rominapuga Also, here are more responses I found: http://fumetsushinju.tumblr.com/post/50709568190/so-romina-pugas-interview-really-pissed-me-off Personally, I think this whole thing is a non-issue. I feel like the interview was staged and kind of inspired by Between Two Ferns. Both of them are laughing throughout the whole thing and her account is sarcastic. Who knows, they could've gone out to dinner after (lol).

Also, Jesse was on David Letterman Thursday night. I'd upload a video if I could, but I can't find the whole thing.

When we first heard there was going to be another attempt at a Wonder Woman television show after the failed attempt that was David E. Kelley’s pilot, we were shocked. We got as far as character descriptions and even a few actors’ names being thrown in the ring to play Princess Diana but then came a pause, one we hoped didn’t mean the end of the project. Thankfully, we can now report the series, titled Amazon, is still being worked on.

All of the networks have been going through upfronts this week, presentations in which they showcase their returning and new series. While Amazon wasn’t on The CW’s slate for the fall, it was brought up as a topic for discussion.

Simon Cowell and Demi Lovato have confirmed that they will return to the judges table for next season, but Simon's wish list to replace Britney Spears and L.A. Reid is reportedly all female.

Cowell has reportedly instructed his underlings for the show not to worry about getting major recording artists, but rather to focus on chemistry between the judges. With that said, he still has some fairly strong names on his list for next season.

The Neverland housekeeper who graphically described seeing Wade Robson naked in a shower with Michael Jackson ... will play a huge role in whether Robson wins a cent from MJ's Estate in his new civil lawsuit, TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the case tell us Wade's lawyers are dissecting Blanca Francia's testimony during Jackson's 2005 molestation trial.

During the trial, Francia -- who worked at Neverland in the late '80s -- testified she witnessed Jackson showering naked with a 7 or 8-year-old Wade.

We obtained a transcript of the testimony in which Francia describes seeing Michael's underwear on the floor outside the shower, as well as Wade's child-sized neon green underwear.

She said she couldn't see what Michael was doing exactly because the shower door was fogged up, but said she heard him laughing.

Ultimately, Francia's testimony wasn't enough to sway the jury -- MJ was acquitted -- partly because Wade himself also testified, but insisted Michael never touched him.

TMZ broke the story ... Wade is planning to argue that MJ's companies -- MJJ Productions and MJJ Ventures -- had a duty to protect him because they were involved in recruiting him from Australia to work with Michael.

According to sources, Wade wants to use Blanca's testimony to show Michael abused him as a child. We're told Wade's lawyers are also trying to contact her to see if she will cooperate in the new case.

I know that at least some of the people who are members of this gardening community dislike Monsanto and would avoid buying its products if they could. According to this article I found, there's a new app called "BUYCOTT that shows you a product's corporate family tree while you shop" and thus lets you avoid buying products that put money in the pockets of corporations you dislike.
(BTW: The comments section that follows this article has some interesting comments that might be worth reading too.)

City leaders in Oxford, Ala. have approved the destruction of a 1,500-year-old Native American ceremonial mound and are using the dirt as fill for a new Sam's Club, a retail warehouse store operated by Wal-Mart.{C}A University of Alabama archaeology report commissioned by the city found that the site was historically significant as the largest of several ancient stone and earthen mounds throughout the Choccolocco Valley. But Oxford Mayor Leon Smith -- whose campaign has financial connections to firms involved in the $2.6 million no-bid project -- insists the mound is not man-made and was used only to "send smoke signals."

"The City of Oxford and its archaeological advisers have completed a review and evaluation of a stone mound that was identified near Boiling Springs, Calhoun County, Alabama, and have concluded that the mound is the result of natural phenomena and does not meet the eligibility criteria for the Natural [sic] Register of Historic Places," according to a news release Smith issued last week.

In fact, the report does not conclude the mound is a result of "natural phenomena" but says very clearly it is of "cultural origin." And while the University's Office of Archaeological Research does not believe the site qualifies for the National Register of Historic Places, the Alabama Historical Commission disagrees, noting that the structure meets at least three criteria for inclusion: its "association with a broad pattern of history," architecture "embodying distinctive characteristics," and for the information it might yield to scholars.

The site is also significant to Native Americans. The Woodland and Mississippian cultures that inhabited the Southeast and Midwest before Europeans arrived constructed and used these mounds for various rituals, which may have included funerals. There are concerns that human remains may be present at the site, though none have been found yet.

Republican Texas judge orders lesbian couple to live apart or lose children

A Republican Texas Judge has ordered a lesbian couple to live apart or give up custody of their children. According to Think Progress, Judge John Roach of McKinney, Texas has given Page Price 30 days to move out of the home she shares with Carolyn Compton and Compton’s two children from a previous marriage because he does not approve of Compton and Price’s “lifestyle.”

Roach has placed a “morality clause” in Compton’s divorce papers, which forbids Compton from having anyone she is not related to “by blood or marriage” in her home past 9:00 p.m. if the children are present. Same sex marriage is illegal in Texas, so by law, Compton cannot live with Price if she wishes to retain custody of her children.

Compton said that she and Price have been together for three years. Compton’s ex-husband rarely bothers to see the children and was previously arrested on charges of third-degree felony stalking in 2011, charges that he was able to plea down to criminal trespassing, a misdemeanor.

In a post on Facebook, Price wrote that Roach had inserted the morality clause into the divorce agreement when Compton’s ex-husband Joshua Compton attempted to gain custody of the children in 2011. The judge wrote that he disapproved of the two women’s “lifestyle.”

“Our children are all happy and well adjusted. By his enforcement, being that we cannot marry in this state, I have been ordered to move out of my home,” Price wrote.

The two women are working with attorneys to figure out what steps they can take to fight the state’s notoriously conservative court system.

Ken Upton Jr., senior staff attorney for Lambda Legal’s Dallas office, told the Dallas Voice newspaper that morality clauses are a holdover from a time when judges tried to keep people with children from living together outside of marriage. Courts often insert the clauses without telling the people involved, particularly in backward, conservative areas like Collin County, Texas. “What the clause has become is an extra burden on gay people because they’re no more likely to violate it than straight people,” Upton told the Voice “It’s a problem that continues with homophobia.”

Hey, hey, Judge Roach:
