Damn. Kid Cudi’s highly anticipated album Man on the Moon: End of Day has been delayed from an August release to September 15. The reason? Cudder says the album and illustration artwork are not even close to being done yet. Although this is disappointing news, look at the bright side: Kid Cudi will now have more time to make the album the best it can be.

If you missed today’s episode of AOTS, be sure to check out the lastest comedy bit, “Cylon Dating Game.” I am Cylon #3 (sitting on your far right). That’s right, I’m “Cy-long.” Enjoy my hilarious appearence on G4’s Attack of the Show!
The nominations, that is. Let’s take a look.
Right off the bat, two things must be mentioned. First, NBC’s 30 Rock received a record 22 nominations, the most for a comedy series ever. Second, Fox’s Family Guy was nominated for best comedy; an animated series has not been nominated in this category since The Flintstones in 1961. Not even The Simpsons has acheived this feat in its long 20 season span. Now, on to the main category nomination selections, including my personal selections and predictions.

Attack of the Show announced the “Great American Keyboard Cat Competition” a few weeks ago. Host Kevin Periera asked AOTS viewers and Keyboard Cat fans alike to send in artwork of the famous YouTube phenomenon that is Keyboard Cat. The video above is a reveal of some of the first entires we received. Can you spot me? We have a room filled with boxes of Keyboard Cat goodness to open and review. Many of the entries are amazing, beautiful works of art. Our viewers have talent! The winner will be announced live on Thursday’s show (G4, Attack of the Show, 7PM ET). Look after the break for some exclusive shots of some other entires. Also embedded are my favorite Keyboard Cat videos.

Megan Fox. Cheerleader. Vampire-type creature. She goes both ways. Looks terrible. I’m looking forward to it.

Bruno reads the Top Ten List on The Late Show with David Letterman. Topic: Top Ten Reasons To See The New Movie ‘Bruno.’
If you enjoy this video (read: find it funny, entertaining, crazy-insane) you will surely enjoy the movie ‘Bruno.’ The movie is outrageous, and yes, highly homosexual. However, it is very funny and worth a one-time viewing.
Check after the break for a recent interview between Letterman and the actor Sacha Baron Cohen (who interviews OUT of character for a change). He talks about how he tracked down and ended up interviewing a real terrorist for the film. Continue reading Bruno reads Top Ten List
