carriefisher1107
  • On the left: Carrie Fisher. On the right: Her stunt double, who apparently was Paul Rudd. The year: 1983. The scene: Two bikini-clad “Star Wars” characters on the set of “Return of the Jedi,” sunbathing. This is the closest to nudity our blog has ever gotten.source

Culture: The album art game: Rihanna looks much better than Chris Brown

  • Rihanna’s cover OK, let’s say you’re a pop star who was all over the press for about six months because your famous boyfriend attacked you violently. It creates some dark times in your life (especially after the post-beating PHOTO of you got leaked). How do you promote your next album? With a dark, two-tone cover and a scorned woman look. Dear Rihanna: Your PR people are awesome. source

How do you promote your next album? Looking like the Black Ziggy Stardust trying to recreate the “Space Jam” film poster on the set for the Michael/Janet Jackson “Scream” video. Dear Chris: Your PR people suck. source

Culture: Can you tell me how to search, how to search for “Sesame Street”?

sesamestreet1104
  • Yes yes, we know. Google’s done this hundreds of times in the past. But, for the 40th anniversary of “Sesame Street,” this is easily the most awesome one they’ve ever done. Even better? They’ve customized them based on which character was most popular in the corresponding country. Good show, Google.source

Culture: TWO Oscar hosts? Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin share the stage

  • Alec Baldwin hasn’t hosted the Oscars before, but he’s hosted Saturday Night Live 14 times, which is about as good as hosting an Oscar ceremony. Beyond his lengthy film career, he’s probably best known for “30 Rock” and letting his less-famous brothers crash next year’s Oscars. source
  • Steve Martin has already hosted the Oscars twice, in 2001 and 2003. The jack of all trades (he has an Emmy, two Grammys and a doctorate) has successful writing, music (he’s an awesome banjo player), acting and comedy careers under his belt. Plus, he can juggle. Can you, jerk? source

Culture: Ricardo Autobahn takes the Girl Talk mashup concept to a new level

  • Here’s a fun game: Watch this music video – built from clips from TV shows and movies – and spend hours figuring out what pop culture clips this clever bastard (who goes by Ricardo Autobahn) used. It’s like Girl Talk for movies, except significantly more cerebral. source
