It didn’t happen. But I wish Kanye West had called Taylor Swift on live TV during the Haiti Telethon.
I would overdub a fake VO on top the clip if I had editing skills (and draw a better lightning bolt if I cared). Here’s the call transcript:
Taylor: Hope for Haiti. This is Taylor Swift.
Kanye: Yo [...]
Thank you John Stewart. I’ve never liked Keith Olbermann. Even when I agree with his politics his smarminess gets under my skin. Lately he’s gone way off the rails and The Daily Show took note.
Bono and Jay Z teaming up to write a song had disaster written all over it. Those poor Haitians needn’t suffer more with a thrown together vanity piece of crap in their name. Like the Minnesota Vikings enduring Prince’s anthem.
BUT I ended up humming this tune all day. Especially the Rihanna chorus “Not gonna leee-aaa-ve [...]
The Hope for Haiti telethon aired on Friday. Many of music’s most famous and most likely to attend benefits were on hand–Sting, Bono, Alicia Keyes, Stevie Wonder and “The Boss”– You can count on them to come together to aid any catastrophe. Kind of like the superhero Justice League, but with guitars.
So I was prepared [...]
In the real world we remain scarred by 9/11 and thankful for no further attacks. Yet the poor people of TV’s 24 have endured enough terrorism, assassination and corruption for our Decade From Hell to be nothing but screwball fun.
This nerdy list documents the big bad news of Planet 24. A few nukes, lots of [...]
Fashion at the 2009 American Music Awards is probably better covered somewhere else but I did notice a few style trends. In fact I can boil it down to two recurring themes: one for each of the sexes (with Adam Lambert somewhere in there).
Males: Tight Leather Jackets
Tight fits, modern takes and cuts on 80s classic [...]
First watch this video of Yoko Ono with son Sean from Jimmy Fallon. Or as much as you can stand.
At least get past :45 where the guitar and drums kick in.
Terrible right? Laughably horrible even. But I can kind of defend it!
Though not in a way Yoko would like.
I would like [...]
Glad that TV Guide noticed what I did last night on the Emmys….lots of glasses on celebrities. Including some who I’ve never seen spectacled like Jack Bauer. (I don’t have his picture yet. But cheers to 24’s President winning Best Supporting Actress)
Here’s Simon Baker. A lot of girls think he’s hot. But with the glasses [...]
Lucky Jay Leno got the first sit-down with Kanye West after the VMA’s. But he, like every other interviewer, won’t get to the real stuff: why did you Kanye do it?
Forget the apology or bringing up his dead mom to see tears. If I was interviewing Kanye, I would remove the [...]
I’m all for unique casting, particularly in TV spots with limited time. But I’m scratching my head with Chex Mix’s odd choice of spokesman.
He’s like a cross between Malcolm Gladwell and Crispin Glover. Or Perry Farrell with a doctorate.
Maybe’s he’s a hipster pal of the creative team. Perhaps their idea of an ironic spokesman. They [...]
I switched to Letterman and saw a recognizable but by no means famous actor in the first chair. Confusion…is he the A guest? Why? Where have I seen him before? Upon watching I learn he is supposed to be Lyle the Intern and he’s giving Dave major attitude.
Okay idea I guess….but am I not [...]
I love the song in this Nike “Driven” ad with Lance Armstrong & others. I know it well from the Scottish group Mogwai. Very surprised it hasn’t been heard more often in spots or trailers. It’s got melody, modernity, a building sense of inspiration and all that good stuff.
It’s called “Auto [...]
Zack Morris (as portrayed by Mark-Paul Gosselaar in character) was on Jimmy Fallon to show not much has changed in his world since Saved by the Bell. I would have expected him to become a Republican congressman or something.
