Jeff Goldblum is alive and well

Hilarity, Television, Video, , , , ,

Contrary to what people have tweeted, actor Jeff Goldblum is still breathing.  Shortly after MJ passed away, the Twitterverse rapidly spread what is now a comical rumor that Goldblum had passed away on the set of a film in New Zealand.  He did not die and he is currently in Los Angeles.  Mr. Stephen Colbert tackles this rumor head on with a special guest (wonder who that may be?).

Conan, YouTwitFace is very real

A few weeks ago, when Conan brought back his famous “In the Year 2000” segment (which he changed to “3000”), he ended the segment with this hilarious joke:  “In the year 3000…YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook will merge to form one super time-wasting website called…”YouTwitFace!”  (Followed by lots of laughter.)  Little did he know that this would actually become a real website!

While the three sites are indeed becoming interlaced with each other, one man has actually taken it upon himself to create an official domain where all three will meet:  www.YouTwitFace.com.  Brian Kay “intends to build out the site into a tribute to “social-media faux pas and the lighter side of technology” combining blog posts and funny videos.”  Kay calls it “YouTwitFace, the future of wasting time.”  The site is currently under development.  Look after the break (click “…more”) for the quick clip of Conan and Andy spilling the joke.

Simply put, G.O.O.D. music artist Mr Hudson is going to be HUGE.  Hailing from London, England, Mr Hudson was signed on Kanye West’s music label not too long ago, and he will definitely straight a chord with Kanye and Coldplay fans alike.  He has this unique sound and aura about him that is very distinctive yet familiar.  Anyway…here is the music video for his first single called “Supernova,” which happens to feature Mr. West.  It is an awesome and inventive music video’ you can sense the ‘Kanye touch.’  Mr Hudson’s new album, Straight No Chaser, will be in stores on October 5, 2009 (unfortunately pushed back from its original August release date).  In related news, it has been confirmed that Kid Cudi will be featured on the track “Everything is Broken.”

Billy Mays, pitchman (1958-2009)

News, Television, Video, , , ,

Billy Mays, infomercial king, died of an apparent heart attack over the weekend.  His products, brands, and strong and identifiable personality will live on.  When I first saw an Oxi Clean commercial many years ago, I was so annoyed by it.  As time went on though, I found a place in my heart not only for cleaning products, but also for infomercial maven Mr. Billy Mays.   Rest in peace, Billy Mays.

Check after the break (click “more…”) for a very recent Billy Mays interview with Conan O’Brien, a video of some funny outtakes, a very young Billy Mays on HSN promoting Oxi Clean, and an Oxi Clean commercial. Continue reading Billy Mays, pitchman (1958-2009) →
