Pajiba Love

JMW really doesn’t care for the Pussycat Dolls, who “make strippers look like girls to take home to mom.” (A Special Way of Being Afraid)

Stick with this a few paragraphs. The payoff is completely worth it. (McSweeney’s)

Are you ever overwhelmed by a phantom feeling of satisfaction while thinking about unleashing a boot to the head of Garrison Keillor? It’s just me, isn’t it? I dunno why. He seems the sort of guy I’m supposed to like. But damn! I’d like to put the hurt on him. (Salon)

The only soothing radio voice I need is that of Ira Glass, damn it. TMBG should write a song about him, you know? (YouTube)

Ever wanted to know your celebrity couple hybrid name? USA Today has it figured out. Mine is Dussly. I hope it catches on with the paparazzi outside my house. (USA Today via Jossip)

Peyton Haters, this video is for you. Oh, and also: Fuck you. (KSK)

Mr. Fox sent me the following link, with this note: “Good Lord — an opportunity to do away with Brett Ratner and Garry Marshall all in one shot! If my beloved Carrie Fisher weren’t going to be there, I’d be strapping on a suicide bomb right now.” (Variety)

The absolute absurdity of Time magazine revealed in its “Most Influential Person of the Year,” nominations (Sanjaya is #21, people). (Agent Bedhead)

Oh, whatever Rosie. Nobody gives a shit. Crawl back to the land of crazy and peddle your wares. (IDLYITW)

You know what’s great? When federal politicians, during Congressional hearings, actually wish that terrorists would attack your family. (QuizLaw)

To Olivia, who left a link to this video in the comments section to fuck with us Gosling fans — it’s a sucker punch. A low blow. And it’s kind of hilarious. And is that Britney at the tail end? After the jump (with bonus Michael Cera YouTube goodness).

Another reader sent this video of “Arrested Development”s Michael Cera’s video resume. Thanks, Allen.

I'm dying here. Wow-- Ryan. I had no idea you had it in you.

And-- that is totally Britney. Crazy.

Is it a bad thing that the first-ever Gosling production I've ever seen is this clip? How will this affect my future perspective of "the next Marlon Brando"?

Posted by: Ranylt at April 25, 2007 4:10 PM

Y'all obviously never watch E! True Hollywood Stories (surprise, surprise?). There was something on E! (and ! del!ght !n the exclamat!on po!nt) about how he was in the Mickey Mouse club even though he's a commie Canuck. Just think...if Gosling had been a Backstreet Boy, he would have fulfilled the role of "guy with non-threatening blonde good looks", which means no Nick Carter, which means the world would have never been subjected to Aaron Carter, which means that it would never have to deal with the Lindsay/Hillary feud...my God, I can't believe he picked Oscar-nominated roles over that. It all seems so selfish in retrospect.

Watching the Gosling clip, I flashed to his future. It involves a musical. And I felt oh-so-sad. I even almost cried.

On the other hand, Michael Cera's video cracks me up. "No....reading...."

Posted by: JKo at April 25, 2007 4:43 PM

those guys can insult TIME all they want but to call Stephen Colbert 'some cable entertainment guy'...that just grinds my gears.

Posted by: Andrew831 at April 25, 2007 4:46 PM

Also, who is Aleksey Vayner?

Posted by: JKo at April 25, 2007 4:47 PM

I'm going to give Agent Bedhead the benefit of the doubt, Andrew831, and go with how I read that passage--fully tongue-in-cheek.

Unless you were being tongue-in-cheek and I missed that --in which case carry on!

S'ok, one little clip can't deter my love. All this means is that he can carry a tune - at least, he could before puberty set in.

Posted by: McGeek at April 25, 2007 5:45 PM

Oh Ryan Gosling.

Did anyone ever watch Breaker High, for any ridiculous reason? It was a TV show about some teenagers going to school aboard a cruise ship (I think), and that was my first exposure to Ryan Gosling. Needless to say, it was a pretty terrible show. I don't even remember which channel it aired on, some weird channel we got through satellite television.

BILL HAVERCHUCK!

With George Michael at the gym.

I can die happy now. Thank you.

Posted by: Fridge at April 25, 2007 6:41 PM

I've decided to momentarily stop lurking to tell Ana that I've seen Breaker High. It was a Canadian show on YTV, and it was pretty terrible. My friends and I are always talking about how the Brando of our generation was on Breaker High and then played Young Hercules.

I didn't know he was a Mickey Mouse Club kid, though. He's just going for the trifecta there.

"Steve Holt is a bastard..."

oh, love George Michael

Posted by: Georgia at April 25, 2007 7:37 PM

Breaker High! I barely remember that... but I remember it nonetheless. Oh man, when Ryan Gosling was on the disney show "Flash Forward" - I remember that too, he played the bully (if I remember correctly).

All this means is that he can carry a tune - at least, he could before puberty set in.

Despite my affection for Gosling, I'm gonna have to disagree here. He couldn't sing then, either. But he tried, bless his heart. On a Jodeci song no less. Still my jam.

Anyway, I really can't hate on boy band Gosling. Coming from a girl who really liked Backstreet Boys (could never get into N'Sync, oddly enough), it would be straight up hypocrisy. And while I may be mocked for the rest of my years for my admission of liking a boy band (in my 20s at that), I can sleep well at night nevertheless.

I....I think that Nicole chick from Pussycat Dolls is hot. There. Shameful confession over. Banish me if you must.

Also, I love that one of the suggestions from the nuns was "ADMINISTER FREQUENT, SAVAGE BEATINGS". I mean, I also wanted to do that after the umpteenth commercial featuring that damn song, but they are nuns! NUNS!

[sarcasm with twinge of jealousy]

Well, with moves like that, no wonder Rachel McAdams snatched him up!

and

"And if being yourself means being a loser, then watching this tape has been a waste of time for you, cause there's nothing I can say that will make your life any better." Now I know what I have been doing wrong. Thank you, Michael Cera!

Haha. I've seen that Gosling clip before. I also remember reading in some interview that the parents of the other MMC kids (yeah, I said MMC) didn't like him because he would "corrput" their sons and daughters. (He's totally responsible for Britney's downward spiral, isn't he? And Christina Aguilera's dirrrrty phase? And Justin's bringing Sexy Back? Wow. Shutting up now).

Oh, and I watched Breaker High reruns. And Young Hercules reruns. Alllllllright, enough with the geeking out.

Posted by: em at April 25, 2007 10:23 PM

I feel as though he looks like he's making fun of this... I'm going to try to stick with that feeling.

Geetch--you're hilarious. This made me laugh more than the vid itself. :):) Thanks!

Wow, I never would have guessed a Mickey Mouse clubber, the "call me" guy from Breaker High (all I remember from that show was him and his larger friend hitting on girls and doing that "call me" sign), Young Hercules (which I loved and used to watch after school all the time because I loved Greek mythology and the cute boy didn't hurt, and he always did that move where he was flat on his back and jumped to his feet using his elbows or whatever) would be nominated for an Oscar.

Posted by: Cait at April 26, 2007 1:54 AM

The best part of the Gosling video is the very end when the rest of the cast comes on stage and that random girl hugs Justin. Britney notices and immediately latches her arm with Justin's. It's awesome.

Posted by: Priya at April 26, 2007 2:43 AM

I heard from a die-hard Gosling fan, that he was asked to be in NSYNC but declined. I'm guessing he wasn't too much into whole boyband thing since even in this video he looks a little embarassed.

Posted by: io at April 26, 2007 3:48 AM

"And Justin's bringing Sexy Back?"
I swear I read somewhere that Ryan Gosling has written songs for or with Timberlake. So I guess he did bring sexy back. Also, Michael Cera, marry me.

Miyamoto should TOTALLY be in Time.
