Okay, not really but it is an older woman. Jimmy Fallon, 33 with the intellect of a 12-year-old just got hitched to the 40-year-old Nancy Juvonen yesterday in the Caribbean. Nancy met Fallon on the movie Fever Pitch, which she produced.
When asked why he got married, Jimmy Fallon said he saw Adam Sandler doing it, so he just assumed the idea was funny.
I swear, it’s reasons like this that for years the US when without paying their United Nations.
Rather than focusing on problems like world poverty and AIDS, the U.N. have decided their most pressing need in getting people to like them, producing a comic book that will show Marvel superheros working with U.N. Peacekeepers in an unnamed war torn country. The issue will be distributed for free to 1 million American school children, who are of course starved for cheap comic books.
Though I’ve got to admit the superhero analogy is pretty apt. Like comic book characters, The U.N. try to make the world a better place, only to fall victim to endless infighting in nearly every “issue”.
The problem with branding is while exclusivity makes the product more attractive, you can never reach the widest possible audience creating preconceived notions of who your product is for.
So when Japan’s Sanrio Co. decided they wanted their insanely popular Hello Kitty brand to become even more insanely popular they’d finally have to start crossing gender lines. Starting next month, Sanrio is going to start selling Hello Kitty merchandise targeting young men, tee Shirts, backpacks, watching… manning up the cute icon by replacing the cat’s face with the Hello Kitty logo.
Don’t know if it will work or not but let’s put it this way: can you see the American equivalent Mattel successfully selling Barbie merchandise to teenage boys?
Me neither.
Or does this TV show really exist?
If you were worried that Angelina Jolie and her brother were finally starting to act to normal don’t worry, the family Cruz is here to pick up the slack.
This is an Eduardo Cruz music video for “Cosas Que Contar”, which apparently means “Whoring out my more famous sisters, so you’ll notice me.” And he doesn’t take any chances about it either, as Penelope Cruz and Monica Cruz play actresses dubbing a porno, who seem about to make out with each other and their brother.
Say this about the Cruz siblings, if Eduardo music career doesn’t take off, it sure has hell won’t be from a lack of trying.
What this video actually is, has less to do with Christmas and more to do with the ongoing writing strike in Hollywood.
Speechless is a series of web videos produced by SAG in solidarity with the WGA, a strategic partnership between the actors and writer’s guilds that inevitable not only because so many people are members of both organizations, but because the Actors Guild’s collective bargaining agreement is also up with summer.
Aside from the political machinations responsible for this video; it’s just interesting to see Woody Allen, a performer most associated with his verbal comedy, hold your attention with an eerie unsettling silence.
In the book “Blink” by Malcolm Gladwell, Paul Ekman, the psychologist who’s research documented that facial expressions have universal meanings, observed that Woody Allen is one of the few people on earth who can make an A.U. one, the universal expression of sadness completely on command.
Meaning even with a writer as talented as Woody Allen, what your responding is sometimes more about what his face is saying than what his words are saying.
(Completely undercutting the message of the Speechless videos, but you can still see the rest of them here.)
With The Colbert Report still out of commission until Jan. 7. and even then is still going to suck, thanks to the ongoing writer’s strike, the only way to get fresh material from Stephen Colbert is to look to the past. This clip from Chicago’s Second City is from 1990, but hey… it’s new to me.

What do you get the infidel who has everything for Christmas? Achmed the Dead Terrorist! He stands as a grim reminder as the lengths the Islam’s martyrs will go to rid their country of the Godless empiricists. Or he could just be a cuddly plush toy for the kids!

As cool as the art in this video is, if the Lohan family is such losers, how much bigger a loser is this guy for devoting so much time and effort to making a video about them?
