Okay, that one made me a laugh out loud...

September 29th 2008 20:44
Gas prices are way up. Stocks are way down. But even in this depressing time at least Entertainment Weekly can still make you laugh.


I don't know about you guys, but I need some witty remarks. So what do you say? Here are some of this week's EW quotes that made me laugh out loud.


'The Daily Show' writers present Election Day predictions:

"The Daily Show staff confronts the stark reality that their show's stars, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, are leaving, realizing this must have been what it was like when The X-files brought in Rober Patrick and Annabeth Gish."

Ahahah! That's great! LoL

THE EMMYS HAVE BIG PROBLEMS LUCKILY, WE HAVE SOLUTIONS

One moment said it all about last week’s Emmy Awards. Did you see when Bones’ David Boreanaz presented the Outstanding Guest Actor and Actresses in a Comedy Series awards alongside The Hills’ Lauren Conrad? Usually the most affable of actors, Boreanaz, introduced by Heidi Klum as star of The Bones, could barely bring himself to look at Conrad. His dead stare and body language said, “I was on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, two great shows that this academy barely even acknowledged. Now I’m acting in another hit show, and I have to hand out an award with a reality star? Get me outta here!”


Yes! That is EXACTLY what I thougth when I watched him present! Poor guy.

And then of course, there's the "What to Watch" quotes to brighten your day:
Heroes: Tonight’s plot or fortune-cookie fortune: Peter uses his past to fix the future.

Chuck: Chuck’s second season opens with the possibility that accidental superspy Chuck may be returning to civilian living. (Yes, the end of the show’s central conceit sounds totally likely.) Aside from a hilariously clunky fight scene between guest villain Michael Clarke Duncan and Chuck’s hot handler, Sarah, the show remains a game mix of satire and sweetness—although Chuck still has better chemistry with his sister Ellie than Sarah.

90210: Annie and Adriana audition for an indie film. This screams “director tries to get teens topless.” If only they could get a dose of Mrs. Walsh’s good sense…

America’s Next Top Model: The models pose as natural disasters. Would posing as a hurricane after Ike be less offensive if said hurricane was fierce?

America’s Got Talent: Finally, we find out who’s the most talented person in America. Hint: not David Hasselhoff.

My Fake Baby: More disturbing than modeling earthquakes and the Hoff? This doc about collectors of lifelike dolls with veins and beating hearts.

When Weather Changed History: I’m all about the 10-day forcast, but this is taking rain a little too seriously.

Supernatural: Set your TiVos, X-Philes! Mitch Pileggi (a.k.a. Scully and Mulder’s boss) plays Dean’s grandfather.

Okay, I admit, that last one I included just because, uh…yeah, I can’t wait...

TV Guide’s “Most Fit” Stars

June 10th 2008 04:14
TV Guide has put together their list of the 16 most fit stars on TV. Some of our favorites make the list including:


#2 David Duchovy (Californication)
This outfit obscures David Duchovny's toned and tanned triathalon-competing body. Luckily for us, he does get to show off more than his arms on his racy show, Californication.


#6 Yvonne Strahovski (Chuck)
There is nothing "secret" about this agent's killer body, as she proved once again in an out-of-this-world re-creation of Princess Leia's gold bikini from Star Wars.


#7 Jason Dohring (Moonlight)
Vampires are mythologically driven by lust and desire. While Moonlight kept plenty of lust, it used this Veronica Mars hottie to do away with the frail and pasty bloodsucker stereotype of the past.


#12 David Boreanaz (Bones)
It's no FBI secret; Boreanaz has a smokin' hot bod. Although, as Agent Booth, his boring suits tend to hide his physique, we know what's hiding underneath!


#13 Jensen Ackles (Supernatural)
Is it us, or is it hot in here? Ackles burns up the screen as half of the hottest brother duo on TV every week. Demons beware, his gaze may be enough to melt you like the Wicked Witch of the West.


#14 Alex O'Loughlin (Moonlight)
This vampire has bewitched the hearts of women all over the country, and no wonder... with his long hair, toned tummy and tendancy to walk around with an open shirt.

My thoughts? Um...where's Jared Padalecki? I mean come, on you can't put one Supernatural brother in there and not the other! I'm also kind of suprised not to see any of the Lost cast on there. To view the entire list, head on over to TV Guide.
