The first season of “Parker Lewis Can’t Lose” arrives on DVD today, and here’s an interview with star Corin Nemic, who now has a 16-year-old daughter(!) (Pop Candy)

Chris Brown was “outraged” that he wasn’t allowed to perform at the BET Awards. Seriously? Dude needs a big fat slice of STFU. (Webster’s)

Kristen Stewart has been shadowing around Joan Jett in preparing for her role in The Runaways, and Joan Jett will make a bitch cry if she has to. (Celebitchy)

Chris Columbus and Richard Donner are still talking a Goonies sequel. Seriously guys? I will get on my knees and beg you not to pursue this. (SciFi Wire)

Here’s a gallery of the hottest movie cougars. By the way, is anyone else so over the term cougars yet? (Spout)

OHHHH snap! Michael Bay totally burned Megan Fox! (Agent Bedhead)

Here are the top ten Billy Mays commercials. Mini-dirve: How many of you have actually purchased/used any of these products and did you find them to your liking? (Screen Junkies)

Check out the exclusive, never-before-seen dueling set diaries of Christian Bale and Johnny Depp from the set of Public Enemies! Thanks to Blonde Savant. (TWoP)

Because I’m really immature and this made me laugh, here’s a gallery of ruined photographs. (Holy Taco)

I’ve got another quiz for you guys today: How well do you know the UK version of “The Office?” (mental floss)

Wendy’s has a new “Coffee Toffee Twisted Frosty” out now. Hmph. Call me old-fashioned but I remember the days when Frostys only came in one flavor. (Impulsive Buy)

Here are 14 Sky Mall products destined for greatness. I personally couldn’t imagine life without a marshmallow gun. (YBNBY)

The guy who played Xander’s dumb friend who for killed on the first episode of “Buffy” was on “Law & Order” last night. I don’t know why little things like that always make me excited. (Serious Eats)

Lady Gaga’s hair has reached an all-time high level of stupidity. (Yeeeah!)

If the Pajiba set could come up with our own perfect drama, it would probably go something like this. Only with more naked twister, maybe. Thanks to Susie Derkins!

Totally love Oxi-Clean. Used to use the Oxi-Clean detergent balls before they discontinued them. Bought all the ones left at a local Big Lots..they are great for taking with you to do laundry on vacation.

And Orange....whatever.

I laughed at that Michael Bay quote last night, but then Rowles said that most of the guys who went to see Transformers: In My Pants went for Megan Fox, so now I feel like he kind of owes her. Also, if both of them could just STFU already, that would be nice.

Posted by: Marra at June 30, 2009 1:14 PM

You know, until he passed, I had never heard of or seen Billy Mays.

Wasn't Xander's friend (Jessie) also on "24" for a season or two as one of those computer guys at CTU?

Posted by: ForbiddenDonut at June 30, 2009 1:16 PM

The picture of the girl with one leg and the horse's head coming out of the hole in the ground behind her, I had a what the fuck moment...come to think of it just writing that I had another what the fuck moment.

Nah, I prefer to stick with my theory that humanity in general is kind of retarded.

So, wait. Al Sharpton and Jay-Z were doing . . . the . . . right thing? I think I need to go lay down.

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at June 30, 2009 1:22 PM

I don’t know why little things like that always make me excited.

Heh. When the review for The Hurt Locker went up, I got all excited because the lead was in a first season episode of Angel.

Posted by: Steven Lloyd Wilson at June 30, 2009 1:27 PM

There is only one flavor of Frosty, and that's Frosty flavor. Oh, that got all newfangled with White Frosty and Swirly Frosty, but let's not pretend that any of those have more than a passing relationship with the flavors they're supposed to represent. I mean, has anyone ever tasted a regular Frosty and gone "Just like a chocolate milk shake!". No. It's Frosty flavor. Shut up, Wendys and quit trying to be high end fast food. I have yet to find food I can get from a drive through that is not inherently shitty.

Posted by: Genny (actually Rusty now) at June 30, 2009 1:30 PM

Ok, I seriously laughed at every single one of those "ruined" photos. There must be something wrong with me.

Posted by: MM at June 30, 2009 1:33 PM

The guy who played Xander’s dumb friend who for killed on the first episode of “Buffy”

Um, Jesse was killed in the *second* episode, Stacey. Jeez, would a little fact-checking kill you? (P.s. ;D )

Also, he played Lauren Ambrose's boyfriend on the first season of Six Feet Under.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at June 30, 2009 1:36 PM

Holy Christ, thank you for the ruined photos! I must spread that immediately.

Posted by: Jay at June 30, 2009 1:38 PM

Woohoo! 100% on the quiz about The Office!

I think Xander's buddy was also in the Texas Chainsaw remake with Leatherbutt.

Posted by: TSF at June 30, 2009 1:42 PM

Oops! I hit post too soon.

There was more: I have a huge crush on that guy (Eric Balfour), and I do the same thing, like the time I saw the lady who ran the "problem teens" house in s4ep18 "Where the Wild Things Are" in ... wait for it ... a cereal commercial. Or was it yogurt? Either way, I was excited, which... yeah, maybe I should shut off the TV, huh? (Also, dreamy dreamy Christian Kane [Lindsey McDonald on Angel] is currently in some stupid show that I want to watch, but only because of him.) I do it a lot, really.

Oh, and those ruined pictures were HILARIOUS.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at June 30, 2009 1:43 PM

Yes! Jeremy Renner! He played Angels protege! He was also one of the best parts of the recently short-lived The Unusuals.

Posted by: Miss_E at June 30, 2009 1:44 PM

Xander's friend was also in "Kids Incorporated" back in the day. Not that I watched that or anything.

We're Kids Incorporated K-I-D-S!

Posted by: tbean at June 30, 2009 1:46 PM

Michael Bay taking credit for turning Nicolas Cage into a big movie star and not blame for corrupting a formerly wonderful indie actor is just one more example of his douchebaggery.

Posted by: Todd at June 30, 2009 2:00 PM

Anna von B,
actually, you might be pleasantly surprised by Leverage (Chris Kane's show). It's pretty damn good, and he's great in it. I'm eagerly anticipating season 2 (and the season 1 dvds).

Problem teen house lady = Kathryn Joosten, who has been awesome in the past in The West Wing and Desperate Housewives. I always squee a bit when Buffy alumni turn up, and she's a favourite.

And yes, Eric Balfour - I can't decide if he's hot or weird-looking! But I like looking at him anyway.

Posted by: Tarn at June 30, 2009 2:06 PM

Pffff.... 75% on The Office quiz. I suck.

Posted by: TSF at June 30, 2009 2:09 PM

Ok. Wow. That is a flashback. I remember LOVING that show as a very, very, young child. In fact, my mother bought me a hideous multicolored shirt that she called my Parker Lewis shirt. I wanted to be him. I, of course, remember nothing about the show other than that there was a really fat guy who was funny.

I think I still will be avoiding this show on DVD in order to preserve my childhood memories.

I'll be less over the word "cougar" when we come up with the male equivalent. I mean, there's "gross," and "ick," and "eeuuuuulaghhh," but none of these words have that catchy-thing going on.

Posted by: bev rage at June 30, 2009 2:22 PM

To be honest, Tarn, I don't even know what it's about! All I know is Lindsey is so so dreamy, and I want to watch it but I haven't.

Oh, and Kathy, the evil roommate from s4ep1&2 is in one of those corn syrup commercials.

Also, I am currently following Tom Lenk, Clare Kramer, Amber Benson, Julie Benz, Juliet Landau, Felicia Day, Eliza Dushku, Danny Strong, Alyson Hannigan, and Nathan Fillion on Twitter. Is that kind of gay? I think it might be kind of gay.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at June 30, 2009 2:26 PM

Anna,
that's a lot of Buffy-themed following! Of that list I only follow Nathan, cause he be funny. I didn't know the others even Twitted.

Leverage is about this:

Posted by: Tarn at June 30, 2009 2:52 PM

So, someone more in touch with mainstream culture, clue me in please -- have we fags totally lost the use of the word gay? Does it now just mean stupid and uncool? Just wondering.

Posted by: Drake at June 30, 2009 3:00 PM

I'll be less over the word "cougar" when we come up with the male equivalent.

Oh you can just call me "pawpaw", sugar.

Posted by: Jay at June 30, 2009 3:04 PM

Gah, I hate the word "cougars". Loathe it. It's disgusting and the fact that women are using it on THEMSELVES is just vile.

The marshmallow gun reminds me of Dwight.

"Last year, I came to work with my spud gun in a duffel bag. I sat at my desk all day with a rifle that shoots potatoes at sixty pounds per square inch. Can you imagine if I was deranged? "

Posted by: figgy at June 30, 2009 3:05 PM

Hmm. Really, why aren't men called "cougars" as well. You know, the disgusting old men who hound on young women and ply them with money and/or gifts.

Maybe they should be "snakes" or "cobras" or something.

Posted by: figgy at June 30, 2009 3:10 PM

I'm OK with the word Cougar, although it seems a little overused at the moment. A worse name could have become popular.

As for the men's equivalent, may I suggest "Wavering Arterial Reconstituted Toady Orgasm Gatherer" or WARTHOG for short.

Posted by: BWeaves at June 30, 2009 3:16 PM

Maybe they should be "snakes" or "cobras" or something.

I prefer to call them "Trumps".

Posted by: branded at June 30, 2009 3:25 PM

WARTHOG it is!
Oh my dear and holy Godtupus is that funny!

Posted by: bev rage at June 30, 2009 3:29 PM

Waitaminute, 'Weaves -- what about the "H?"

Posted by: bev rage at June 30, 2009 3:31 PM

For everyone loving the ruined photos, here's the best source for that: http://thisisphotobomb.com/

No plug, it's not my site. But consistently hysterical.

Posted by: Clarence Boddicker at June 30, 2009 3:35 PM

Yeah, AvB, I'm with Tarn. Leverage is actually quite good. You can catch up on season one (Wednesdays at 10:00 on TNT) before season 2 starts on July 15th (same bat time, same bat channel).

Posted by: tamatha at June 30, 2009 4:02 PM

Drake, I did not use the word "gay" to convey either stupid or uncool. Obviously, if I'm telling everyone here that I follow all these people, then I think it neither stupid nor uncool. I was simply trying to state that I'm gay for Buffy and anyone or -thing Buffy-adjacent, while using a popular phrase from the show's lexicography (Willow, s3ep16, Doppelgangland, "I think I'm kinda gay!"-upon meeting her alternate dimension vampire persona).

I apologize if my usage conveyed any malevolence. It was certainly not my intent.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at June 30, 2009 4:13 PM

oh, and thanks for the video, Tarn, that actually does look like fun. Plus, did I spot one Mr. Holland Manners?

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at June 30, 2009 4:17 PM

Anna,
yes, you did! That man sure gets around...

Try the TNT site the video came from, there's a couple more Leverage vids there, including a fair bit of expo from Mr Kane.

Posted by: Tarn at June 30, 2009 4:35 PM

(Willow, s3ep16, Doppelgangland, "I think I'm kinda gay!"-upon meeting her alternate dimension vampire persona).

AVB, that's one of my favorite Buffy moments.

Posted by: Jeni at June 30, 2009 4:38 PM

Thanks AvB, no need to apologize.

Posted by: Drake at June 30, 2009 4:38 PM

Willow, s3ep16, Doppelgangland, "I think I'm kinda gay!"-upon meeting her alternate dimension vampire persona

That's awesome. I swear, my favorite Buffy moment is any moment with Willow in it. I'm pretty sure I watch HIMYM just for her. Creepy much?

Posted by: the_wakeful at June 30, 2009 4:58 PM

HAAAAAAA!

BWeaves: marry me. You are awesome.

Posted by: figgy at June 30, 2009 5:15 PM

The gay thing just makes me thing of Michael Scott. Second time I'm quoting office today, but...

"I didn't know Oscar was gay. I would've never call him that ["faggy"] if I'd known....you don't call retarded people "retards." It's bad taste. You call your friends "retards" when they're acting retarded."

Posted by: figgy at June 30, 2009 5:20 PM

more ruined photos, please.

Posted by: gp at June 30, 2009 5:27 PM

awesome!

Posted by: gp at June 30, 2009 5:38 PM

Jesse/Xander's Dumb Friend/'Eric Balfour' was also on "The O.C." towards the end of the first season, as Theresa's abusive ex-boyfriend. I watch the coolest TV, don't I?

Posted by: Shay at June 30, 2009 6:13 PM

A male cougar is actually called a "manther".

Posted by: Optimus J. Rhyme at June 30, 2009 6:19 PM

My father is really concerned about the lack of advertisement of Christian Bale's role in "Public Enemies." Like, weirdly concerned. We were watching tv yesterday when one of the commercials came on, and he sits up and points at the tv:
Dad: "Look! Christian Bale is in this movie, right?"
Me: "Yeah."
Dad: "Why aren't they showing him in any of these commercials? It's all about Johnny Depp!"
Me: "I see that."
Dad: "Isn't he playing the cop? Shouldn't they be promoting him as well as Johnny Depp??"
Me: "I... guess?"
Dad: "That's not right. It's just not right."

I'm starting to worry about him a little.

Posted by: MelBivDevoe at June 30, 2009 6:43 PM

Also, Lady Gaga may make some weird sartorial and hairstyle choices, but at least she's not flashing her cooter all over the place.

Plus, her album has a great beat and you can really dance to it.

Posted by: MelBivDevoe at June 30, 2009 6:51 PM

I'm with your dad, Mel. I'm watching this for Bale, not Depp, and I WANT TO SEE MORE OF HIM IN HIS SPANKY SUIT. I feel cheated!

Posted by: figgy at June 30, 2009 7:06 PM

I have used Oxi-Clean since I first heard about it in college. That stuff rules. I also used to use Orange-Glo until for some reason the smell started to make me sick.

I'm with Mel's dad too - why are we seeing way more of Depp than Bale? Is Bale chopped liver now?

Side note: when my husband and I first saw the trailer for Public Enemies on TV and I declared that I must see it, he turned to me and said, "All that movie needs is Clive Owen for it to be your perfect dream movie." So true.

Posted by: stardust savant at June 30, 2009 7:18 PM

A male cougar is actually called a "manther".

And this is why I *heart* OR.

Mel, I mostly enjoy Lady Gaga, but she has pon occasion had less than enough fabric ver her girl junk. I mean, she's no Paris or Britney, but there have been some ... questionable leotard choices. Check WIMB for the outfit where her boobs were on fire.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at June 30, 2009 7:53 PM

AvB, I thought you were being facetious, saying her boobs were on fire! Gah! I hate to think about a misfire.

Posted by: MelBivDevoe at June 30, 2009 8:05 PM

Cougar is a euphemism for what they would be called if there were actual gender equality which would, of course, be dirty old women.

Some of those pictures were intentionally ruined with BAs and planted dildos but the shot of impromptu, alfresco breast feeding was a zillion times better than the 4 doofuses doofi in the foreground. I fear, however, that it was faked. The two hombres playing a lightning round of qui es menos macho by gazing deeply into each others eyes while the two puercos gordos are getting their picture taken seems very real.

Posted by: OscarTamerz at June 30, 2009 8:38 PM

RE: Christian Bale Public Enemy fake diaries.

Who else is beginning to think that "American Psycho" was not a work of fiction so much as a documentary? Anyone? No?
