Grey's Anatomy Is STILL Not On, But I Got Some Of Dr. Shepherd's New Cologne And It's Liquid Sex

Patrick Dempsey has his own Avon fragrance called Unscripted and I never smelled it because I never got a free bottle. But Avon sent me his second fragrance, Patrick Dempsey 2, and it smells really good. Talk about a lazy name, though. I would've called it McEau de Toilette. I bet Patrick Dempsey was having a bad day and Avon was bugging him about a name and he just barked "PATRICK DEMPSEY 2!"

Tron Legacy Might Be About Having Sex With Robots

 A running theme of my movie news seems to be "Hollywood rapes the 80s" and maybe you think that's okay because the 80s was dressed provocatively and had a few too many bottles of Bartles and James or whatever, but it's not okay with me because I left my childhood back there and I don't need Disney executives rooting around in it for the next Pirates of the Caribbean. Come on Disney! It's a small world after all! (*slide whistle*) My whole point is they are making a sequel to Tron, and they're calling it Tron Legacy.Man, I could really go for a wine cooler right about now.

So A Princess, A Frog, And Barack Obama Walk Into A Bar...

I haven't seen The Princess And The Frog. Yet. I want to see it, because I'm dying to know whether it lives up to its hype (first black Disney princess! best Disney princess story yet! JAZZ! NEW ORLEANS! THIS AIN'T YOUR MAMA'S CINDERELLA!) Also, because - ahem - I like Disney movies, princesses or no, and I like taking my kid to movies, yadda yadda.

But there was a vampire movie that I had to go see first, so.

Tiger Woods' Mistress Threatening To Sue ABC

Joy Behar, of The View, called Racel Uchitel, one of Tiger Woods' mistresses, a "hooker," and shocker!, she didn't think it was funny.  And she is threatening to sue.  This isn't the first time, or even the second time, The View stuck their collective foot in their mouth.  But really, do they even think anymore?

Xbox Staycation Sweepstakes Winners!

I think that I can honestly say that the only thing better than actually winning an Xbox 360 package is being the person that gets to announce the big news and make the upcoming weekends of two people that much radder.

Friday Combo Platter: Amber's on Nitrous Edition

From Wikipedia: Nitrous oxide, commonly known as happy gas or laughing gas, is a chemical compound with the chemical formula N2O. At room temperature, it is a colorless non-flammable gas, with a pleasant, slightly sweet odor and taste. It is used in surgery and dentistry for its anesthetic and analgesic effects. It is known as "laughing gas" due to the euphoric effects of inhaling it, a property that has led to its recreational use as a dissociative drug.

It also has hilarious effects on email threads.

This One Better Marry Me If It's Going To Make Sweet Sweet Love To Me

 Youth in Revolt is the new Michael Cera film that comes out in January, and that can only mean one thing, more awkward teenage mumbling! Huzzah! Just kidding. Michael Cera is consistently funny even when playing opposite Jack Black, so that means he can pretty much be funny any time. I want Michael Cera to be the one who diagnoses my cancer someday. That'll be a laff riot. (*slide whistle*)

Amanda Peet Is Having A Baby. Good For Amanda Peet.

I like Amanda Peet, I really do. I couldn't really tell you why, exactly, but she seems nice enough, and smart, and she's not so ubiquitous a celebrity that you get really sick of her and yet she somehow managed to get cast in the latest explodey apocalypse movie opposite John Cusack, so, you know, good for her.

And she's having a baby. She already has one. Greedy girl, Amanda Peet.

Gleecap - Sectionals

 Wow, last night’s episode started with quite the rapid-fire recap. That makes sense, because there has been a lot of drama at William McKinley, and last night was no exception. If drama were bacon, then last night there was more bacon than the pan can handle.
