[Long, tired sigh.] So you know how the "left shark" dancing next to Katy Perry at the halftime show became the breakout viral hit of the Super Bowl? Well, naturally, somebody decided to capitalize on the left shark's popularity. And now Katy Perry has unleashed her lawyers on him. It's come to this. » 2/05/15 5:40pm 2/05/15 5:40pm

Cool Dad Lenny Kravitz took the whole, "I'm a dad, but I'm still hip and relevant" schtick a step beyond the scope of what normal dads do to prove that they're cool and on the pulse, like, say, using emojis or wearing their baseball caps backwards, by doing something only Lenny Kravitz would do: grinding his junk on… » 2/03/15 11:00pm 2/03/15 11:00pm

Do I give a shit about the so-called "Green Bay Packers"? No. Did I need them to be featured prominently in the already very short trailer for Pitch Perfect 2 that aired during the Super Bowl? No. Will I take the few scraps of sustenance the entertainment industry deigns to throw to me? Always. » 2/02/15 5:45pm 2/02/15 5:45pm

Football's irredeemable barbarism, glorification of war, and (now conscious) habit of putting big strong men into early graves makes the whole thing thoroughly unwatchable for me. I don't like violent video games for similar reasons. So, it came as a big, huge, giant shock that I enjoyed this Conan O'Brien Show clip… » 2/01/15 3:15pm 2/01/15 3:15pm

Since Katy Perry announced she was booked for the Super Bowl's halftime show, rumors have abounded about a special secret guest. Who would show? Some had it pegged at Perry's pal Rihanna, but logically that would never fly—badgal would most certainly hold out for her own damn Super Bowl halftime. But now we know for… » 1/30/15 10:31am 1/30/15 10:31am

Jennifer Aniston was a guest on last night's episode of Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, and it was a nice little reminder that Aniston is, at the end of the day, a pretty funny lady. » 1/22/15 9:30am 1/22/15 9:30am

M.I.A.'s legal battle with the NFL over her performance at the Super Bowl in 2012 when she quite literally flipped it to the man has been settled. » 8/22/14 5:40pm 8/22/14 5:40pm

Sometimes we regular humans interface with celebrities and the experience is awesome. Other times, it can be really fucking embarrassing (and, in turn, hilarious). » 2/04/14 5:50pm 2/04/14 5:50pm

With everything said and done from last night's Super Bowl, we still have one crucial thing to discuss—which commercial was the big winner? » 2/03/14 8:30pm 2/03/14 8:30pm
