Audio of the Moment

If you're seeing this, then I'm sorry to have to tell you that your browser doesn't support our audio player.

Ever since I heard "Adventures in Solitude" on Ugly Betty, The New Pornographers' album Challengers has been getting nonstop airplay in my abode. But this exquisite initial tune is still the song I come back to most often. - Mikey

A Trio of Awards

1. Sandra accepting her Oscar for Best Actress of 2009...

I wish all speeches ended with thanks to "my lover, Meryl Streep."

2. Sandra accepting her Razzie for WORST actress of the same year...

3. And my personal favorite, this one from a few years back, Sandra accepting her Pudding Pot as the Hasty Pudding Theatricals Woman of the Year!

I'll never forget what she said when I told her that I was a tour guide at Walt Disney World (my thinking was that she was part of the ABC/Disney family because of the George Lopez show): "I'm sorry."

"Show of Handsome"

Mikey,

I want you to go to your happy place.

Are you there?

I need you to think of the most wonderful thing imaginable.

Now add Ben & Jerry's ice cream, Zac Efron, and a unicorn.

Welcome to MY happy place.

I brought you here so that you can get an idea of how I felt when I discovered the video I'm about to share (thank you Rachel Adams!). So you remember that 30 second Jimmy Kimmel promo I was creaming my pants over in my last post? Well, turns out it was only part of a nearly 10 minute sketch that ran on Kimmel's post-Oscar show last night -- The Handsome Men's Club.

There's some serous star power in this thing: John Krasinski, Patrick Dempsey, Gilles Marini, Josh Hartnett, Sting, Rob Lowe, Ted Danson (via AIM), Ethan Hawke, Keith Urban, Matthew McConaughey, Ben Affleck, Tony Romo, Taye Diggs, Lenny Kravitz, Matt Damon, and a girl...Jennifer Garner.

Now I'm not all that surprised by the good showing of ABC dudes (Patrick, Gilles, Rob, Taye), but what about  the other guys? How does something like this get pulled off? No, really. I want to know.

Here are a couple teaser-shots. You get the video after the jump.

"You're my big handsome."

One of the top moments of Oscar night, for me, was a promo for "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" that played as a follow up to his "F-ing Ben Affleck" video from a while back. It features Affleck in bed with Kimmel AND Jennifer Garner, because "everyone wants to got to bed with Jimmy." I love celebrities who don't take themselves too seriously! I also got a kick out of Ben and Jimmy wearing matching pajamas, and I'm pretty sure "Big Handsome" is my new favorite term of endearment. Future luvahs take note.

I've got the video for you after the jump.

Kathy Griffin & Levi Johnston, Together Again

Kathy Griffin was in Alaska last week. Let me repeat, Kathy Griffin was in ALASKA last week. I love how she's become besties with Levi Johnston. She spent the day with him in Wasilla (she tweeted about it), and he even escorted her onstage for her show at the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts.

I have his "Playgirl" magazine, did I tell you? I made my friend Shauna buy it for me because I was too embarrassed to do it myself. Barnes & Noble had it in the "women's interest" section of the magazine stand, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that nothing in that magazine was done with the interests of women in mind. I especially liked the photo spread of "NYC's Hottest Bartenders," because the first guy up is totally a gay porn star (referring to the type of work he does - I'm not sure of his actual sexuality). In fairness, the copy did say that he had done some "modeling" -- their quotes -- prior to the "Playgirl" shoot, but still. [The "bartender" -- my quotes -- goes by David Taylor. I'm not gonna link to anything, but if you want to take a look, just add "porn" and do a Google search.] I'm just impressed that a Levi Johnston photo shoot got the magazine back into print after the magazine went web-only in early 2009 (here's an article about the transition from the NY Times). I read somewhere that Ronnie from the first season of "Make Me A Supermodel" might be posing for an upcoming issue. If there's a way to pre-order that magazine, let me know.

I just got really, really off course. Back to Kathy in Alaska. So she was there to shoot some stuff for the next season of "My Life on the D List" and she also made time for a book signing. As soon as I heard the news, I asked my little sister to get her autograph for me (um, and buy the book), and she totally did it. At least I think she did. She sent me a text that said "Mission Accomplished" with a blurry photo of Kathy in a bookstore. What a great little sister, huh? I can totally imagine this exchange between my sister and one of her friends: Friend - "So what are you doing this Friday?" My Sister - "Getting Kathy Griffin's autograph for my gay big brother." [awkward silence all around]

I'll let you know if I actually get the book. It'll go in the trunk where I keep my autographed copy of Barbara Walters's book.

So I've got some video of her show in Alaska (God bless The Huffington Post). I wish I could here her whole set, but I'll take what I get can. This video, which was taken from the audience, is about five minutes of her going at Sarah Palin. LOVE IT. Kathy calls her the "Britney Spears of politics." Again, LOVE IT.

Kathy Ireland as Red Carpet Host

So I'm watching ABC's Red Carpet coverage and I can't get over Kathy Ireland. The way her arms moved, she seriously looked like a robot. Okay, like an audioanimatronic. And I'm not alone in thinking that something just didn't look right:

The funny thing is -- I didn't edit the order of the above tweets. A little while later, Andy Cohen had more to say:

Mile High Video Roundup

For anyone who, like me, has ever choreographed a plane ride, Kate Nash's sky high new video for "Do Wah Doo" brings that fantasy to life. Love the song. Love the video. Love that Kate fixes her hat on the way up from being jolted to the floor...

...And Goldfrapp takes off in the inspired psychedelics of her new video, "Rocket." That chick has style to spare.

Ryan Raz Didn't Have to Douche Today

The best part about this tweet -- he's not joking. Not one bit.

Looks like our boy Ryan (and by "our boy" I mean "person I've never met, but to whose work I often masturbate") will be appearing in an upcoming episode of "The Good Wife," which is actually one of my favorite shows. According to an earlier tweet, his role is one half of a mixed-gender "kissing couple". Good for him!

I remember him tweeting a while back about working as an extra on "Ugly Betty". I wonder what other TV work he's done... Can I start a campaign to get him into the If I Can Dream house? Someone needs to make this kid a porn Hollywood star!

She's lookin' at YOU, Mr. Raz.

Justin Gaston

We got to know him as Miley Cyrus's kinda cradle-robbin' boyfriend. Now she's just an ex, and he's part of the inaugural bunch of Dreamers living in the "If I Can Dream" house.
