You Might Want to Pick Woody Harrelson For Your Adult Kickball Team.

Hey, I'm not trying to jock up the joint over here. This is a pop culture website, not a sports blog. So I'll spare you the details about why you should be watching the World Cup even if you're not a sports fan (sanctioned daytime drinking and several shirtless menfolk, for starters). But I wouldn't be your friend if I didn't show you this pop culture/sports crossover moment of glory, surprisingly courtesy of a star of film and television. Seriously, in terms of sports, this is, like, better than Rudy.

Ralph Macchio is Waxing On in New Viral Video

Have you seen the new The Karate Kid with Jaden Smith? I haven't. I've heard it's good, but to me Ralph 'Babyface' Macchio will always be THE Karate Kid. I love my 80s icons, that's why I was so happy to see that one of latest Funny or Die videos stars my former teen heart-throb in Wax On, F*ck Off.

$#*! My Dad Says Trailer May Ease Some Fears

$#*! My Dad Says, which is apparently pronounced "Bleep My Dad Says," the sitcom based on the wildly popular and hilarious Twitter account (typing that sentence still makes my brain hurt) is slated to premier this fall. Fans of the Twitter account are still uneasy about the network TV adaptation, but perhaps the recently released trailer will put their minds at ease a little.

Les Grossman and The MTV Movie Awards

Remember Les Grossman?  The best part of Tropic Thunder?  He's hawking the MTV Movie Awards.  Brilliantly, I might add.

Groovin' With Ken!

With Toy Story 3 set to be released on June 18th, Disney/Pixar would like to introduce us to Ken.  Barbie's longtime arm candy, Ken gives us a tour of his Dream House, followed by an in-depth, emotionally revealing, interview. 

And The Funniest Person Alive Is...Tina Fey!

If you thought the crown should go to Betty White, what with all the Betty White love-o-palooza happening these days, you'd be wrong.  Tina Fey, ladies and gentlemen.  Tina Fey.  Yeah, suck it, nerds.

TV Shows as Diner Food

Remember when restaurants would name dishes after celebs? It's time we did that, with your favorite shows.

Louis CK to Star in New Series on FX!

Awesome and foul-mouthed comedian Louis CK, who I once frightened by telling him that he was the male version of me*, will be starring in a new series, Louie, on FX starting June 29.

A Double Serving of Serving Done Right!

Plagiarism is infuriating, especially for writers who spend hour upon hour honing each word, each sentence, to fit just so.  It makes sense, but it turns out it's equally as infuriating for comedians who have been plagiarized, as the recent Patton Oswalt incident illustrates.  And because Oswalt is a comedian and hilarious even when he's not on stage, he calls out his hacker publicly and with a lesson to the young plagiarist: if you're not funny to begin with, stealing won't help.

Conan O'Brien's 60 Minutes Inner Monologue

[cry-laughing]...

Conan O'Brien To Be Released From NBC's Shackles On "60 Minutes"

 Oooooh, this is gonna be good. Muzzled by his NBC contract since his untimely booting from The Tonight Show to welcome back the loathsome and unfunny Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien has been unable to talk about his show, his contract with NBC, and everything that we (I include myself in the fray) on Team Coco have been shrieking about since the outrageous ousting of the late night host. 

Well all that's about to change.

Sandra Bullock and the Razzie Exchange Affair

Sandra Bullock may be the only person to receive awards for the best and worst performance in film in a single year.  On March 6, scant days before her Oscar award, Bullock accepted a Razzie for Worst Performance By a Female Lead, for her psychotic and uncomfortable turn in All About Steve.  But apparently they gave her the wrong award.

Kiefer Sutherland Gets Thrown Out of Strip Club: For Stripping

No, no, no, Kiefer. When you go into a strip club the people who work there take of their clothes. You and the other patrons are supposed to keep your clothes on. Jesus, Sutherland, how do you expect a stripper to pay her way through college if you do her job for free?

I don't know what was going through his mind - maybe he thought he was in the champagne room, but a topless Kiefer Sutherland got thrown out of a "lap dance club called Stringfellows" in London on Thursday night.

Best Worst Movie Trailer

I can't believe I haven't seen this movie -- "Troll 2" -- which is apparently so horrendously bad a specimen of B-Moviedom that a documentary has been made in honor of its epic, unprecedented awful.

I can't wait to see it, of course.

The Insane Clown Posse Ponders Some Science and S#*t

In September 2009, the Insane Clown Posse released their eleventh studio album, entitled Bang! Pow! Boom! Recently, they released a music video for the single "Miracles." And, folks, it's EPIC.
