When I check a site every day, it must be doing something right. The Defamer is pretty new and god bless 'em for being the buzz. I love good celebrity and pop culture gossip.

Oh, pleeeeeease.



If they're so compromising, why are they on a laptop computer at a friend's house? And, more importantly, what is wrong with these people???? Why do they insist on documenting their sexual liaisons anyway, if they're not planning on having them turn up on a web site?



"Moore is reportedly devastated at the possibility that the raunchy pictures - which were saved on a laptop computer taken from the Hollywood home of Kutcher's friend Adam Goldberg - will appear on the Internet and cause an even bigger sensation than Hilton's sex video."

Sometimes commercials are just good.



Combining sly humor and incredibly realistic characters, Comcast addresses its reputation for poor customer support head on in this new flock of TV ads. The country's largest cable company wants the world to know that service isn't just improved, it's shockingly good. (AdAge.com)

Ah, more poor spelling.



Perhaps if they'd spelled the final word correctly, the memo wouldn't have been posted for PUBLIC consumption.

Not that I was a huge Andy Kaufman fan, but I think it would rock Hollywood if the guy actually showed up on Sunday.

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - Andy Kaufman had said if he were going to fake his own death, he would return 20 years later, to the day. That would be Sunday.



So, his pals have rented out the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood for that night in hopes he'll show up - along with paying fans, of course.

Even if Andy Kaufman doesn't show, there will be a night of comedy - with Rodney Dangerfield, Caroline Rhea, Bob Oedenkirk, Andy Dick, wrestler Jerry Lawler and Paul Rudd, who plays Phoebe's husband, Mike, on 'Friends,' and others.



Bob Zmuda as Tony Clifton provides the musical entertainment.

It's just so dang catchy.



And it's got Weebl's badger graphics. Fun!

Causing so much joy should almost be illegal.



I was going to blog a few gems from this week's b3ta.com newsletter, but it's so chumping chock-full of interweb brilliance that I couldn't even choose which ones to blog. They've outdone themselves.



If you don't trawl through their newsletter yourself, you're missing out on a hundred little slices of (geeky and sophomoric) paradise.



My favorite quote this week:

"Brian Blessed is like the living incarnation of bigness and shoutiness." (It's so true.)

Great concept cafe. Cool web site.

Any movie with Iggy Pop and Tom Waits talking to each other will see my ten dollar admission.



Nevermind that it's a Jim Jarmusch movie. And that Steven Wright and Roberto Benigni are also in a vignette together.



Everything beyond Iggy and Tom is just icing.

...'They don't know what to do -- the old people,' Sam says, returning with our caffeine. 'At funerals, you know.' So he came up with the idea of sending them down here -- to hang out with frolicking dead animals. Maybe human heaven will be just as much fun.



What do kids think of all this?, we ask. 'They love it!' Sam exclaims. 'Of course, kids...they don't like killing animals. I don't like killing animals.' Then how did all these dead animals end up here? 'Road kill,' Sam answers. 'And accidents.' Sam says that all the chipmunks came from local golf courses. 'Killed by golf balls.' "

Trendcentral.com | An art project/social experiment



Artist Andrew Van Hook's Urban Pioneer Project (UPP) is creating a place in history for modern city dwellers. The Web-based project is

essentially an archive of individuals' lives, complete with photos of

personal spaces, lists of refrigerator contents, and responses to a

series of questions that include 'Dream job' and 'Favorite restaurant,'

among many others. Urban Pioneers apply to join via the website and,

upon being accepted, are given a number and certificate and are then

expected to complete a profile that gives voyeurs a glimpse into their

lives. However, only other Urban Pioneers can view these slide

show-formatted profiles. Other perks to being a Pioneer include access

to Urban Pioneer parties, gallery openings, online content, and social

and professional networking opportunities.



While less selective networking sites, such as Friendster and MySpace, are growing to monster proportions, the application-necessary UPP illustrates the burgeoning demand for filtration, as well as a desire for online interaction that leads to in-person experiences. Van Hook does not want the project to grow infinitely and plans on putting a halt on the applicant pool when it gets too large.



While Van Hook first got the word out about the UPP through silhouette imaged stickers plastered all over New York City, the stickers are now making international appearances in cities such as Berlin, Buenos Aires, and London, and those in-the-know are signing up.

Elephants!



Plus some other fun ads.



Even if you don't speak the language, this delightful Spanish-language ad will have you humming about elephants all day. It is based on a much beloved Hispanic nursery rhyme about elephants dancing on a spider web. The spot's gag is a word play -- the driver misreads an invitation to a posh social affair as requiring 'elephant' clothes rather than 'elegant' clothes. No matter, he and his friends go into the ball floppy ears and all." (from adage.com)
