Today dubbed “Steve Martin Day”
If Hallmark can invent fake holidays, why can’t I?
Steve just had a baby (with his wife). Steve recently said (at the Costume Designers Guild Awards gala’s tribute to Lorne Michaels)…
When I heard that you were receiving this honor, I felt nothing but pride . . . Not happiness. Not respect. Nothing. Just pride. . . . Although you can’t tell it from his work, Lorne Michaels has great taste. . . . The word ‘genius’ is not something I throw around often. [Pause.] I just thought I’d mention that. . . . Lorne Michaels is a legend, and I don’t mean one of those things that helps you understand a map…

Fred Armisen as Regine a “Triumph” on SNL, hosted by Christoph Waltz
Christoph Waltz? Really? Where did he come from, the Everglades?
The standout sketch, for me, was Fred Armisen as Regine, Waltz’s hideous, pretentious and severe-looking date. While the bit started off smoothly, it was hard for the cast not to break up. It goes to prove how funny it was, as Regine climbed on top of every person, spread her legs and said things like “I’ll have absinthe on the rock. That means one ice cube.”

“The Big C” — No, I’m not talking about Kathy Griffin
Since there’s nothing more romantic than cancer, I thought I’d remind everyone — on this bloody Valentine’s Day — that one of my very favorite shows starring the incredibly gifted actor, Laura Linney, is coming up really soon.
It’s The Big C. A terminal illness has never been this much fun!
4.29.13. SHO. Save the date.

Web’s “Walk of Shame” looks at post-tryst getaways
Sometimes you find love everlasting. But more often than not you settle for “one of those bells that now and then rings.” A casual sexual encounter is all well and good in the heat of the night. But when the morning comes, you’re likely to want to beat a hasty retreat.

Honey Boo Boo’s Mama June slims down while their Christmas tree falls down
English subtitles are necessary for the English speaking audience
Yes, I know it’s February.
But “Honey Boo Boo’s Mama June Slims Down While Their Christmas Tree Falls Down” is the most shared article on People.com — which means we’re all going to get dumber, faster.
But — it really is a good story.
- The Boo Boo Christmas tree came crashing down (see video) because instead of topping the tree with a star, they put something up there called “Nugget.”

An 87-year-old college student named Rose stole the show
On the first day of school, our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t already know.
I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned round to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.
She said, “Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?”
I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze.
“Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked. Read More

“Smash” Season 2 Premiere: Succulent Superb Smashing Success!
I never liked Smash.
Smash was a slow moving martini-splashing bore-fest.
But Smash, as it turns out, is one sneaky bitch. Uptight at first, but put a few beers into her and the gal has jazzy jazz-hands! Read More
