PRETTY OR SHITTY: MY PERSONAL HIT LIST OF THIS WEEK'S POP CULTURE

PRETTY

THE NEW LADY GAGA & BEYONCE MUSIC VIDEO FOR “TELEPHONE”. 

Lady Gaga in "Telephone"

 

If wearing sunglasses made of smoking cigarettes isn’t pretty, then I don’t know what is. 

 

In fact, This video was so pretty that Jenna Maroney (you know the fictitious character from 30 Rock that I follow on Twitter) tweeted with envy :

JennaMaroneyTGS Who cares about Lady Gaga & Beyonce's Telephone? Me and the sister who was written off "Family Matters" just premiered our new video Pager.

 

SHITTY

THE NEW LADY GAGA & BEYONCE MUSIC VIDEO FOR “TELEPHONE”. 

 

And then it gets weird……

 

For starters Beyonce and Lady Gaga each bite into a donut and then throw it out. 

 

NOT COOL. 

 

Not only is that a waste of a perfectly good pastry, it’s also called LITTERING.

 

Also the dialog could use some work. 

 

At one point Gaga says “You know what they say, once you kill a cow, you gotta make a burger”.

 

Yeah, I think they also say "when you kill a donut you should EAT IT and not litter".

 

Also, WHO SAYS THAT?!  Sarah Palin?

 

 

Oh no. On Jay Leno, before doing “standup” obviously written by Jay Leno’s writer’s room, Sarah Palin said this:

 

“You know that old saying where I can travel halfway around the world before truth even has a chance to put it’s pants on in the morning.”

…..

 

Yes Sarah, I’m sure that “old saying” it’s right up there with this motivational poster.  

 

Talk about Kitten cruelty.

 

And yes, I just compared Sarah Palin to Lady Gaga.

JOEL MCHALE STRIPPING DOWN IN COMMUNITY.community0304 Community   Non erotic naked pool

Did you see last week’s episode?  I’m STILL thinking about it.  I never knew The Soup could be this hot.

Watch the clip.

There are so many balls!

As in pool balls, they’re playing a game of pool in that scene, you perv.

 

SHITTY

BLAKE CLARK STRIPPING DOWN IN COMMUNITY

blake_clarke

This made me gag…which was the point.  You might know Blake Clark from Boy Meets World as the father of the dreamy Sean Hunter

 


aka Ryder Strong aka “What Ever Happened to That Guy?!

 

PRETTY

JUSTIN BIEBER


Okay, I finally get it.  This kid is adorable. And that song is so damn catchy.  However, I wonder what will happen when he hits puberty…. 

 

But I must attribute my Justin Bieber appreciation to this video from Aziz Ansari’s website (www.azizisbored.tumblr.com) where his character Raaaaaaaady (that’s 8 A’s) declarers war on Justin Bieber.

SHITTY

LIL' WAYNE SINGING

.

Yes, Lil’ Wayne sings. Which must be hard for someone who doesn’t have a lot of real teeth.  I mean, you’ve heard Hilary Duff “sing”. 

 

In Lil' Wayne's new jam “Knockout” which is another catchy diddy, he indeed sings, but it resembles more of a screech or a pelican mating call…

 

PRETTY

UCB'S FACEBOOK SHOW

See full size image



http://losangeles.ucbtheatre.com/shows/913

I can’t believe I haven’t seen this show until last Wednesday.  Improv inspired through someone’s Facebook page.

What fun.  They ripped apart a girl’s profile who claimed to be dating a porn star.  This takes Facebook stalking to a whole new level.  It also made me rethink my profile…

 

SHITTY

MY MOM ON FACEBOOK


That's not my mom, or me.  But my Mom just figured out how to Facebook chat.  Oh, the horror. 

 

PRETTY

JAY BARUCHEL IN SHE'S OUT OF MY LEAGU

 

I have a crush.  He was so cute in this movie that I’ll look past this flick's flaw: most of the “punch lines” were pop culture references… that are already outdated (Hannah Montana), says the girl who’s blogging about pop culture.

 

SHITTY

I WAS RATED A 6 ON CHAT ROULETTE.


And I thought the moral of She’s Out of My League is that everyone is a 10....

 

PRETTY

This video.

Chat Roulette Piano Improv.  

Although this guy calls himself Merton, I’m pretty positive it’s Ben Folds.  Because he looks like Ben Folds, sounds like Ben Folds, and no one would make up a name like "Merton" besides Ben Folds.

Ben Folds

Thoughts?

  1. Yes, I have no doubts whatsoever it is Ben Folds, everything points to it being him. At this point thought I'm quite depressed people's perceptions are so blunt that few seem to be able to pick up on it, he could probably take off the hood and still get away with claiming hes not Ben Folds. Great for a social experiment or to enlarge your fan base I'd say. Also, he is revealing how he deserves his place, he can cause a stir and get famous in just a week without using his name.

  2. agreed... funny he thought he could trick us with that hood...

  3. Haha yeah... that tightly pulled hood haha. It doesn't seem he's trying all that hard to keep it secret, he could do a much better job.. esp the satirical way he defends himself not being Ben Folds in the info box.
