C'mon Lorne Michaels*! Time to sign up Cookie Monster for a stint as a guest host on Saturday Night Live! He's done the homework (Macarooner! Fake News!) and knows what is expected of him. If an internet campaign worked for Betty White...
Looks like Dad is missing but Gab is on form with her latest review, "Love and Other Drugs." Maybe it's best that Dad is AWOL... if the rumour of plenty o' nudity in this film is true. Kinda uncomfy watching that with your Dad sat beside you. Over to you, Gab!
Ah, to live in the UK at Christmastime! Not only do the Brits do the holidays like no one else, they also know how to create a festive postage stamp.
Beloved characters, Wallace & Gromit get licked this Christmas as the Royal Mail's holiday stamps. Choose from a series of adorable designs featuring the Academy Award winners going about their typical Christmas preparations. My fave: Gromit and the giant pudding.
Shame Canada Post never thinks of something so clever and fun!
Robbie Williams is back with Take That, Damon Albarn mentioned to NME Magazine that Blur may be recording together next year *and* Pulp are reforming for 2011.
The Britpop-chick in me is thrilled beyond belief! Now if only Pulp would ensure that North American cities were on their reunion tour. Please, Jarvis!
For more info on Pulp's plans, sign up for email updates on their official website.
If you've arrived on my doorstep through a Google search related to Mel Gibson, I'm sorry but you've come to the wrong place. There won't be any punch ups or visions of Goldie Hawn here.
You WILL discover, however, this really unique photo hanger featuring a flock of blackbird clips. Sitting atop a 36" clothesline-type string, these feathered friends guard your photos, postcards, whatever keepsakes you wish to display. Gives a whole new photographic meaning to "watch the birdie!". Very tweet! (sorry!)
First off, there's the subject matter -- DOGS! Love 'em... all types, even fat, blobby ones as featured on these holiday greeting cards. And I'm all for works of famous artists being reintroduced to the masses via new platforms... but I just have a hunch that this artwork is kinda half assed.
I know kids that could have created something similar - and probably, BETTER!
And yellow of all colours screams anything but snowmen, Santa Claus & candy canes.
Yeah, these cards are kinda nice, and certainly unique, but I'm dolling out a C+ for this effort and nothing more. I'll skip Andy's cards for something that feels a bit more heartfelt and emotionally stirring.
Yes, count me in as one of the many suckers excited for a good royal wedding!
While I won't be holding my breath waiting for my own invite from the Bride's side of the family (sorry, inside joke -- couldn't help myself!), I am thrilled for Kate and William. A wedding regardless of who the Bride and Groom are is a happy occasion in my books.
Here's one of the official engagement photos taken at the Palace today.
Love Kate's gorgeous blue dress - a hue chosen to compliment the ring (Diana's original engagement ring) perhaps?
If you're a fan of movies based on real life adventures (or nightmares in this case), you'll be interested in Gab & Dad's latest review, '127 Hours.'
James Franco stars in this Danny Boyle flick based on climber Aron Ralston's horrific life or death experience.
If you're sensitive to even a mention of somewhat graphic situations, you might want to give this one a pass... still, Gab & Dad handle this review with their utmost class and professionalism. Take a look!
I just returned from a visit to the UK where they do Christmas like no where else (that's a compliment!). Britain is home to one of my new favourite destinations: Paperchase.
Not your average purveyor of cards and gift wrap, Paperchase offers items that are more sparkly, more adorable... just more FUN... for all occasions!
Top of my list, the Festive Friends range of Christmas products. If you like the world of Kawaii where the everything is happy, and smiley, you'll adore Festive Friends. Holiday meat pies, puddings, reindeer, mittens even Christmas cracker characters are jovial and fully engrossed in the spirit of the season. Case in point, this set of pudding earmuffs.
Silly, yes but sweet and guaranteed to put a smile on the most Grinchiest of faces. I dare you not to chuckle at this item.
Just one question remains: who has the guts to strut down the street with these sweet treats on their ears?
St. Nick doesn't have to be the only soul with a jolly holiday chapeau!
Top off your holiday spirit with this vibrant Christmas tree hat. Complete with colour stitches masquerading as tree lights, this 100% acrylic hat will keep you toasty and seasonal.
A pizza cutter like no other! An officially licenced Star Trek product (I kid you not!) but would Spock approve of the Enterprise's latest adventure? From Think Geek.
Sure, Christmas is still over a month away but with November having landed on our doorstep, it's no longer too early to start thinking of the holidays, right? Right!
Urban Outfitters presents a little something special for your tree this season - a balloon dog ornament.
Available in three colours and styles, this canine adds some atypical festive flair to the most traditional of holidays!
