lindsay: Was it you who likes slipknot?: http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/47195776.html sara schaefer: NO! sara schaefer: I thought it was YOU! lindsay: HAHAHAHAHA
It remains a mystery, but going forward, for TV character purposes, the Slipknot-liker is the new Samantha.
(Oh and also I guess that guy died. :(=)
Oh, You'd Better Withhold Your Name
Transcribed from the new issue of Vogue:
“Tina Fey? On the cover? Are you kidding me? Has someone fallen off her Louboutins and hit her head, or is this VOGUE’s alternate universe, in which Michelle Obama wears a cardigan and is elevated to “Style Icon” status and Ms. Fey can now add “supermodel” to her resume? Remember when VOGUE was the fasion bible and not...

- Vulture’s Willa Paskin on the House finale.
Yes! Aside from this just being funny, there is way too much pegged entertainment journalism out there now (the lists, my god, the lists! Make them stop!) There will indeed be so many dumb articles about Moonlighting in the fall.
Mr. Show Birds!
I got really excited last night because I thought the SNL “Great Day” digital short used the same cartoon birds from the beginning of the “Intervention” Mr. Show sketch as some kind of private secret super-homage. They’re similar birds, but not the same birds, obviously. But how cool would that have been? HOW COOL?? Here’s the “Intervention”...
The person who sends “P.S.” emails before the other person has responded always, always loses the game.
I say this as someone who has much more often been the “P.S.” person than the austere and powerful other person (aka the “winner”). But not for a really long time because who gets into email arguments? But the reason this person loses is because s/he is the...
Greyson Michael Chance, aka “Paparazzi Boy,” on Ellen today, getting a call from Lady GaGa, who tells him to “stay away from girls and focus.” Pretty adorable. (Also, Ellen’s people moved so fast on this. The “Paparazzi” video had 15k views just 48 hours ago. It now has over 8 million.)

OMG! You guys! I got a new job.
Carney is going to be on TV, like Glenn Beck!
One Moment In Time
(Need to milk the delight before the inevitable “finding out he’s totally already super popular” moment.)
As much as I loved Betty White on SNL, my favorite part of the night was about midway through the show, when a remote control error led to viewing partner Jessica Coen and I watching about 45 seconds of actual Golden Girls (There was a simultaneous marathon on WE), thinking it was a Golden Girls sketch on SNL (in our defense, we had discussed our hopes for a GG sketch earlier in the night.)

(Via my pal John Green, who suggested in an advice chat to a fan that the cure for Bieber fever was TMG, resulting in another fan making this. Related: a journalist should really consider profiling John and Hank Green and their worldwide Nerdfighter phenomenon. It’s nuts!)
Buy this: And The Heart Says Whatever By Emily...
It’s out today! Again, I’m not good at reviewing my friends’ books but here are a Couple Things I observed when I read Emily’s book:
* Because a few people have done this, please do not make the mistake of reading this book as either a full-on “my entire life story” memoir (it’s surely the first of many quirky true-stories volumes by Em), or, worse, as...
One of my favorite parts of the (awesome) bachelorette party I attended this weekend was when another lady kindly showed me (“on the doll,” as it were) that the great variety of penis-shaped party objects (straws, drink-charms, a royal sceptre for the bride, etc) were not, in fact, scandalously circumcised, as I’d just (loudly) observed, so shocked was I at the perceived...
