Pajiba Love

Carla Gugino. Lucy Liu. Lesbian Vampires. Welcome to Monday. (IDLYITW)

Our own Dan Carlson has moved his interweb digs to his own fancy domain. Please update your blogrolls, your bookmarks, and your date books. (Slowly Going Bald)

If you haven’t seen this … man. O’Reilly completely loses his shit. It’s like Daddy on a Friday night after too many highballs. (QuizLaw)

Feminist porn, y’all. (Feministing)

Bon Jovi action figures, for the creepy rat-tail-wearing love of your life. (Yeeeah!)

Songs about cannibalism. With an upbeat swing. Marilyn Manson’s new album is nigh. (Celebslam)

I dunno — I kinda think Jimmy Kimmel kicked the crap out of Gawker’s Emily Gould on “Larry King Live” over the weekend. I think Paula Abdul would say of her performance: “Well, the good news is that you looked good.” (Jossip)

In fairness, here is Gawker’s defense. (Gawker)

“The Office’s” B.J. Novak makes a disconcerting discovery. The find, after the jump.

Cadbury eggs: mmmmm conspiracy-licious!

Posted by: mswas at April 9, 2007 4:00 PM

Hell's bells--Novak is THE MAN in my house right now. In one fell swoop he managed to:

1- Make topical one of my favourite yummies;

2- Call out a major corporation in great style AND;

3- Make a Conan O' segment actually laugh-out-loud funny.

I would send him a bushel of Easter 2006-size C-eggs if only I had 'em...

1. Not that I want to defend a site like Gawker - but that Kimmel interview is completely moronic. I love how Jimmy Kimmel, who once had a show that specialized in porn stars and alcohol consumption, can actually find the moral high ground here. You're a celebrity. You're fabulously wealthy and famous and in the public eye. Suck it up. Not to mention that if not for the fact that HE HIMSELF was profiled in Gawker, I betcha he never would have even brought it up.

2. Posts like that are part of why I love Feministing.

3. As much guilt as I feel saying this... I cannot WAIT for the new Marilyn Manson album.

AUGH!! I FUCKING KNEW IT!!!

When we got home last night and tore into the easter basket Mr. Salted's parents gave us, that was the first thing I noticed. I know my shit when it comes to candy.

Bless you, BJ Novak.

"Posts like that are part of why I love Feministing."

Titter. I once dared Tall Dark and Handsome Mr. Ranylt to vacuum the house naked. Much to my amazement, he did it.

Hot? Not so much. Funny? Yeah bob!

Jimmy Kimmel needs to stop being so damned transparent. The only reason he even conducted that interview was so he could jump Emily Gould for an item that she published nearly a year ago! Not only that, but he needed two people to help him jump her. One can't exactly hold the moral high ground if they need Mark Geragos to help them make their case. And where does he get off telling her she needs to look at where her life is going? Last time I checked, he was the dude who left his wife and kids for Sarah Silverman. Oh, and I also love how he doesn't understand why anyone would buy an advertisement on one of those new-fangled website thingies. Um Jimmy, have you seen the advertisements for your show lately. They pop up ALL OVER THE FUCKING WEB!

And WTF is with Cadbury? I say we riot. Or just buy a dozen of those minatures cream eggs and pop them into our mouth one right after the other.

bill o'reilly is such a despicable antagonist degenerate. i'm likeing geraldo more and more though.

Posted by: dyl at April 9, 2007 6:32 PM

Bill O'Reilly reminds me of Juror #10 from "12 Angry Men." You know, the racist one who refuses to change his vote.... as if I needed to clarify that.

And that's a great clip of Novak exposing Cadbury. Did they really think they were fooling anyone with that "you've gotten bigger" line? What kind of scam are they trying to pull?

Agreed, TK. I know very little about the Gawker website, but Jimmy did nothing to convince me that the Emily woman needed to "think about her life." The hell? Jimmy Kimmel is actually attempting to be the moral police? Shut up, dude.

That said, Emily did herself no favors channeling Tai from Clueless. I've seen teenage editors handle themselves better. Her points were somewhat lost on me after giggling like a school girl at some points. Maybe she was nervous or something, but it was still poor form.

As for O'Reilly - why does this man still have a show? Even hardline conservatives have to shake their head at his behavior. At least I hope. The man can barely have a rational conversation with anyone these days.

Those Cadbury eggs are gross, but yeah, Cadbury must think nobody in America has eyeballs. That's just bad PR. Admit they're smaller and move on. Don't force someone to go on national TV and prove you're a bunch of liars.

They're trying to forestall the inevitable obesity lawsuits. Starbucks is doing it too.

Posted by: ferris at April 9, 2007 9:21 PM

I agree with the above two posters, Kimmel definitely came out of that the worse in my eyes. First, I feel inately uncomfortable watching three self righteous assholes beat up on the less intelligent. She couldn't have seen that steamroller coming, and I started to genuinely feel bad for her. Second, if I was her, I would have totally called Kimmel out for his boo-hooing over one of her website's posts. Your'e a celebrity (sorta), Jimmy. Grow thicker skin or go cry in the corner. Third, Jimmy Kimmel doing his damndest to channel Larry King was both hilarious and pathetic. From the mannerisms to the suspenders (oh lord, THE SUSPENDERS), it was just...silly.

Posted by: Matt B at April 9, 2007 9:46 PM

You bring up an interesting point, ferris. When they say that you are getting bigger, they could literally just mean that America is getting fatter. Which just adds another level of creepy evil to the whole thing. Not the best way to win consumers, Cadbury. Last time I checked, it was better NOT to tell the consumers of candy that they were a bunch of lard-asses.

Posted by: Ashley L. at April 9, 2007 10:27 PM

What I think is hella lame is that Emily flubbed her way through the experience and then went and wrote a scathing post on Gawker making all the points she was unable to make out loud. Gee, that's incredible that you're so biting and intelligent ON PAPER after you're able to craft your response for HOURS. Maybe she won't go on TV anymore now.

As one sided and bullying as the Gawker interview was, I was kinda glad to see someone stick it to a celebrity gossip site. I just wish that they would have had Perez Hilton on their. THAT would have been a slice of fried comedy gold.

Posted by: Manny at April 10, 2007 1:03 PM

christine, that's exactly what I thought. It also makes me suspect that many of the ideas she expresses are fed to her by someone else, and she can't really fend off for herself when she's on her own. Emily Gould is a fraud, you heard it here first.

Posted by: MJ at April 10, 2007 5:58 PM

Damn, who would have thought that there would be a time when I actually respected Geraldo Rivera for NOT being an opportunistic douchebag?

Once again, with feeling: Fuck Bill O'Reilly.

Also, my horny male comment of the day: Lucy Liu + Carla Gugino + naked = Happy happy joy joy. Forget that supposed 'porn for women', there's some very nice porn for men abound.

Posted by: Vermillion at April 10, 2007 9:22 PM

Vermillion, with women like Lucy and Carla around, how am I supposed to compete? Damn them and their hotness!

Agreed on your points, MJ and christine. Emily apparently isn't too quick on her feet. Which is fine, but send someone who is to do the TV interviews.

Manny, I too would have liked to see Perez getting a verbal smackdown. Multiple times.
