How awesome would this series have been? Jack Black, Owen Wilson, Ron Silver, parodying terrible 80's action shows, as directed by Ben Stiller? Owen Wilson was the voice of the car. The stoned car. Tell me that's not brilliant. You can't! It is! It's inarguable!
Damn you, FOX. A million years of Married: With Children, Cops, and When Brutually Stupid Animals Attack, but you couldn't even air this pilot? I hate you.

He is arrogant, he's a jerk, and he won't take off the fucking hat, even when he's swimming, or making out with Amber. But I love him. I loooooooove him. Look at that smile! How could you not?

I have never seen the Ryan Seacrest show before. Oh my god, Ryan, take! Your! Meds!!!
He just leaped over a desk, tried to strangle his executive producer, then heard about John Travolta and began singing a medley from Grease while he thrust his crotch in the face of someone's dad. Poor someone's dad!
(I'm watching because April from America's Next Top Model is going to be on and give us all the inside scoop. Last night's episode was faaaabulous.)
Oh my god, Ryan. Your meds. Take them now.

The braintrust that brought us "metrosexual" (ie guys who don't mind looking nice) has now brought us "flexitarian." That would be "vegetarians who eat meat."
Now, look. I've been a vegetarian for like, ten years now or something, and every now and then I eat something that's meat. I did that sometimes in Japan, when I couldn't get decent vegetarian food. I've always believed that there's no vegetarian overlord who keeps watch and will kick you out if you eat a hamburger once in a while.
This flexitarian thing, though, is just about as silly as Jews for Jesus. It makes no sense. Either you eat meat or you don't. If you eat both, then you eat meat, by default. If you eat hamburgers and hotdogs and chicken, but sometimes you have a tofuburger, you're not a vegetarian. You're also not a flexitarian, because that word makes no sense. Stop polluting my language!
(This entry qualifies as pop culture 'cause I got it from VH1's Best Week Ever blog. And because I said so.)

"What's next, Michael, are you going to make dancing illegal? Is this the tiny town from Footloose all of a sudden?"
Arrested Development is fucking brilliant, and Jason Bateman is fucking hilarious. Unfortunately, it's the kind of brilliance you don't understand until you've seen a few episodes. It gets escallatingly brilliant every week. If nothing else, this show makes the best use of "Next Week On..." that I've ever seen.
Yes, every critic on earth already said this. Yes, it's undoubtedly going to be cancelled. But god damn, it's awesome.
