This commercial is wrong on so many levels. Not the least of which is the unruly-spiders-for-eye-hair that Claire is now sporting.
More to come.

Top Chef DC: John Somerville will be played by Jeff Goldblum
Top Chef DC sanely asked John "Rasta Goldblum" Somerville to pack his knives and go. In his own words, "I barely had a chance to pull a knife out of my bag." I take that as a threat.
He also tries to mind-snuggle us with "women really love my pastries" and "I'm a really likable kind of a guy." Kind of.
Also, his "toenails grow at a rate that you can't even believe." Oh, that kind of likable.
Hear him say those words and others that will make you never want to eat again:

Hear him say those words and others that will make you never want to eat again:
When he tries to slash Eric Ripert's obscenely beautiful francoface after sneaking back on-set, his sad little toenail-clipping-strewn life story will be made into a movie. And he will be played by Jeff Goldblum wearing several aged and tranquilized llamas on his head.

The Amazing Kreskin Knows You're Reading This
Children of the 70s will surely remember having their collective minds blown by The Amazing Kreskin. He lets you know right up front that he's amazing.
Did you also know that his ENTIRE WORLD is amazing? You and your pot-addled / bored / empty / nostalgic mind can be amazed once again as you enter The Amazing World of Kreskin on Hulu.
The show answers the question: What if John "Crossing Over" Edwards had a touch of aspergers and paid a visit to the set of Joker's Wild?
Kreskin not only freaks out the audience by knowing that they know someone with a letter J name, he also graciously hosts a series of poorly-lit celebrities, most of whom have an allergy to natural fibers and regular skin care.
Dame Sybil Leek anyone? How about a hot cup of James Coco?

Baked Kale Chips from Top Chef Masters
If you were intrigued by Chef Jody Adams' Lisa Simpson-inspired plate of vegetarian goodness, which included baked kale chips, then we have at least that in common.
I made them tonight, and they really are addictive. The taste reminds me of roasted broccoli, the texture like roasted seaweed snacks.
I made them tonight, and they really are addictive. The taste reminds me of roasted broccoli, the texture like roasted seaweed snacks.
Here's the method I tried, based on both Chef Adams' recipe from the Top Chef website, and Lucy Del Rey's recipe on AllRecipes.com.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Take 1 bundle of organic curly kale, and tear the leaves off of the central stem.
- Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Wash and dry them thoroughly.
- Spread them on a cookie sheet, and toss with about 1/2 Tbsp. of olive oil. Alternately, spray them with olive oil or canola oil.
- Bake in preheated oven until the ends begin to turn brown and crispy. Both recipes note this as 10 minutes, although both of my batches took closer to 15 minutes.
- Sprinkle with sea salt and any other flavorings you want.
Jummy!
The kale chips keep surprisingly well, so bake a big batch to make healthy snacking easier.

Marc Maron Stops Being "Defensive Ass": WTF?
On Monday, I had the pleasure of interviewing Marc Maron about his extremely successful podcast, WTF. The podcast is the perfect combination of monologue and conversation with his comic peers.
Maron talks about keeping the podcast free, bringing out the unexpected in his guests, and why his days of being a defensive ass have run their course.
Also, if you are anywhere near San Francisco on May 10-12, go see Marc Maron at The Purple Onion in North Beach. His live performances are always fresh, brilliant, and definitely not predictable. See a comic genius at work on the same stage on which Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor once performed.

Creepy Puppets: Love Is a Stranger by Eurythmics
This video used to scare the hell out of me because of the 1.5 seconds of ventriloquist dummy used therein.
Eurythmics: Love is a Stranger. A fantastic song that no longer makes me wet myself.

I AM WOMAN?
Did they really, honestly play "I Am Women" for Katheryn Bigelow's Best Director Oscar win tonight?
Why yes. Yes they did.
Congratulations, Helen Reddy. My condolences to anyone else in the 21st century who thought we were in the 21st century.

The Daily Show: Bank of America has some nice dresses for you, Karen
Absolute brilliance ensues at the :50 second mark of this clip.


John Stewart encapsulates how credit card companies find more creative ways to screw their customers than Xaviera Hollander. *rimjob*/*rimshot*
Then Wyatt Cenac talks with a former Bank of America employee to discuss how B of A is worse than the mafia.
Really.
He talks to a former mafia loan shark. Turns out the Bank of America has some beautiful Dior dresses for you, just around the corner. Go ahead.
