The Simpsons Finally Gets Around to Parodying South Park | Comedy Central Insider Blog

I saw this from Sunday’s episode and had the same thought. A little late here guys. How many years in advance do they write Simpsons episodes? Because I’m pretty sure South Park hasn’t killed Kenny since ‘97. Timing is everything, and South Park who turnaround shows in under a week, are king.

South Park have taken onThe Simpsons several times, most memorably in “Cartoon Wars” and the Dr. Chaos “Simpsons did it!” ep.

Meet Gilberto Sanchez, the anti-piracy poster boy. This Bronx man was arrested for leaking Wolverine to Megaupload. He reportedly bought it off a Korean guy for $5

“If convicted, Sanchez faces three years in prison and a $250,000 fine or twice the gross gain or gross loss attributable to the offense, whichever is greater, according to the U.S. attorney’s office.”

I have no problem with the fine but why spend tax payer money on sending him to jail.

Screened this one tonight, bleak yet moving. Heard it was faithful to the book as well. Interesting thing, the film did not include the scene of a house blowing up as seen in the trailer.

“A man in The Bronx was arrested today after the FBI pinpointed him as the person who leaked X-Men Origins: Wolverine to the internet before its release, officially ending all crime ever in The Bronx”

I simply resent them for devoting the better part of this decade to making celebrities out of some of the most undeserving and useless people on the face of the earth.

Tru fax. They’re pretty darn good at it too, but don’t forget TLC and Vh1 for doing the same.

thehoulywoodreporter:

“I’m kind of modeling it after Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band. It’s kind of the look we were going for stylistically on the album cover and just the project in general. He [Springsteen] pours so much passion and emotion into all of his songs every night, and I hope I can capture that too.”
-Nick Jonas on his solo project Nick Jonas and the Administration

This is some kind of vast right wing conspiracy, right? I’m pretty sure Nick Jonas won’t be singing about the plight of the working class, of displaced Vietnam vets, of ignored civil liberties, and not to mention, will neither rock nor roll.

Of his airquotes songwriting, the Jonas brother says, “In the verses where it sounds like I may be talking about losing a relationship or a girl … I’m actually talking about myself and … saying, ‘Look there’s a disconnect. What happened? I’ve changed. I want someone to love me for Who I Am.’”

I hate you, Miley Cyrus. Where’s Silvio Dante when you need him?

At least he has good role models.

Colbert Performs “Empire State of Mind (Part II)” with Alicia Keys | Comedy Central Insider Blog

UPDATE with lyrics:

Yeah, I love New York, it’s the king of all the cities

I lived up by the guggenheim till I got myself some kiddies

Moved to Connecticut, bye George Pataki

Volvo to the dry-cleaner pickin’ up my khakis

Now my shopping mall is closer, my community is gated

My shorties are all private school educated

Home theater system, 60-inch plasma

Clean suburban air much better for my asthma

Still hit the city, Times Square I keep it real

Hard Rock Cafe for their appetizer deal

M&Ms Store, Disney Store, I’m in heaven

I own this town from 41st to 47

Got tickets to The Lion King, that show is fantastic

Leave half an hour early so I can beat the traffic

I can get home really fast, driver rocks an EZ-Pass

To the land of cheaper gas and the upper middle class

Painfully true.

Trailer of the Day, Too: First official trailer for Steve Pink’s best named comedy of the forever, Hot Tub Time Machine.

The epically cast, Wild Hogs-referencing flick, which stars John Cusack, Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson, Clark Duke and Chevy Chase, is due in theaters March 19, 2010.

Short ribs.

When Craig Robinson looked into the camera I lost it. This has potential but I’m afraid the trailer leaned too much towards rom com for my tastes. Also I’m not thrilled that they only travel to the 80s.
