Play 'Law and Order: SVU' Bingo!

Posted: 03 May 2011 10:44 AM PDT

Seen one sex crime, seen it all. At least that’s how it can seem your fifth consecutive Sunday watching a Law and Order SVU marathon. As you begin to watch Olivia’s hair morph and Elliot’s face age, you realize it might be time to start watching another show obsessively (or, you know, leave the house). But wait! Just because you can rattle off the plot of an episode after seeing the first minute doesn’t mean they can’t stay fresh and new! Just try adding a game of SVU bingo!

  • Thinly Veiled Faux Titles
  • Olivia's Date is Canceled on Account of Crime
  • Munch Ends a Sentence with My Ex-Wives
  • Shirtless Stabler

The show’s been off the air for more than a year, but people are still getting LOST tattoos! And some of them are pretty epic in their nuttiness. We miss the show too, but man, not enough to say it in ink.

  • We would like Sayid's face on our body as well. But just not in *this* way.
  • This is actually kinda cool.
  • Dharma Initiative tat #1
  • Desmond's face. What, no
  • Dharma Initiative tat #2
  • Crying Shannon, you guys!
  • In case John Locke's face wasn't clear enought.
  • How often does he push that button?
  • John Locke FTW
  • Dharma Initiative tat #3
  • This is the greatest thing.
  • Dharma Initiative tat #4
  • Oh, how depressing!
  • Everything all at once.

Video: Comedian Neal Brennan Talks Meeting the Obamas

Neal Brennan on WhoSay

We’ve been raving about Seth Meyersterrific monologue at Saturday’s White House Correspondent’s Dinner left and right. The success of the event is a testament to Seth’s crew of super-stellar comedy writers,* one of whom is Chappelle’s Show co-creator Neal Brennan. Neal posted this video about getting to meet the Obamas at a cocktail reception (he greeted our President with a “Hey Man,” and now he’s on the No-Fly List) — and goodness is Barack Obama ever an awesome guy. Watch through to the end for a hilarious Jon Hamm-related payoff.

*We’re especially impressed with the female writers… juuust kidding, there weren’t any.

Don’t you think all the names of the states would be way better if they had celebrity names? Pleated Jeans has put together a map that does just that. To be honest, this could be a good strategy the next time the government is short on cash – it’s like how corporations get to put their names on stadiums!

Video: Listen to Anne Hathaway's English Accent in 'One Day'

Posted: 03 May 2011 09:52 AM PDT

Maybe we’re just feeling kind of emotional today, but this One Day trailer totally choked us up. It’s from the director of the awesome An Education (who should maybe hire a more creative movie title come-up-with-er), so we expect good things. Plus, we’re totally buying Anne Hathaway‘s accent.

'90210' By the Numbers: Catch Me, I'm Falling

Posted: 03 May 2011 09:34 AM PDT

Naomi and Max have gone public with their star-crossed romance, but their future is in jeopardy since they’re months away from college, and the acceptance letters start rolling in. Naomi finally gets into CU, what she’s been working toward since last season, but Max’s dream school is MIT, across the country. Navid and Dixon team up to get Silver help for what is obviously a manic-depressive episode, despite her enraged protests otherwise; Annie convinces Marla to attend a screening of one of her movies from the ’60s; and Jen returns to be in Jack’s life. Here’s your “Women on the Verge” tally!

Geek-chic couples that crop up thanks to Naomi/Max: at least 1

Annie’s sad-kitten faces: 4

Ex- or current boyfriends that Silver eats lunch with: 3

People who turn out for Marla’s screening: hundreds

Reasons that Teddy has to believe that Marco is cheating on him: 4 (not answering phone calls, canceling plans, lying about a soccer game, telling Teddy he lives in a mansion)

Number of times Adrianna shows up in this episode: 1 (to drive Navid home after Silver gets locked up at the psych ward)

Parents that baby Jack will have: 3 (Jen, Ryan, and Debbie)

Drinks that Navid has: enough to get sloshed and let Ade snuggle up to him

Minutes before the end of the episode when I knew Marla was going to kill herself: 4

Most unrealistic element of this episode: Even when Silver has been taken to the hospital, the doctor doesn’t notice that there’s no sign of her meds in her bloodstream. That, and Max turning down MIT to go to CalTech and be near Naomi for college. And Annie not recognizing what it meant when Marla gave her her special Academy Awards necklace.

Next week: In “The Prom Before the Storm,” every guy has done something wrong at the big dance. And have people always called Beverly Hills “the zip”?

Conspiracy Theory: Brad Womack and Emily Maynard Aren't Allowed to Announce Their Breakup

Posted: 03 May 2011 08:50 AM PDT

According to a tabloid report, Brad Womack and Emily Maynard had dinner together last night in Austin, Texas. Although it has been reported that the couple broke up and their engagement is off, the fact that they were in the same city at the same time is supposed to indicate that they’re back on. To be honest, even if they got married tomorrow I still wouldn’t believe in the deepness of their love or whatever. My theory is that The Bachelor has something in its contract about remaining a couple for a certain amount of time, and that Brad and Emily are bound to that. (Ironically, the contract for Bachelors and final rose recipients was said to have become more strict after Brad’s initial “I choose me” Bachelor moment.) Considering neither Brad nor Emily has given a gushy interview to Life and Style magazine lately, I suspect that they’re still off, but they’re just not allowed to say so on the record. (Brad’s disappearing Twitter account lends credence to that theory.) Once Ashley Hebert‘s new season of The Bachelorette kicks off and the bulk of the attention is on her, Brad and Emily will probably be allowed to break up officially. That is, unless Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez actually get married on TV, in which case ABC is going to want to pack the stands with the few remaining happy Bachelor and Bachelorette couples.

Sorry, Brad and Emily. I know this must suck for you. Breakups are never fun, and I’m sure they’re even less fun in the glow of the spotlight. But next time you might want to read the fine print on those contracts.

Check Out Crushable on the 'Hunger Games' Fireside Chat Episode 5

Posted: 03 May 2011 08:57 AM PDT

In case you missed it, here’s the link to last night’s Fireside Chat podcast on Picktainment. In addition to the bevy of casting decisions that came down last week, we discussed how the bloodthirsty world of The Hunger Games — there are some spoilers for Mockingjay, so watch out — reflects Americans publicly celebrating Osama bin Laden‘s death.

The show’s guests were a great intersection of fandom and the professional world of books: Earlier in the show we chatted with Southern Utah University graphic design major Kim Shelby, who for her final project conceived of and shot several Hunger Games trailers. We rounded out the night by hearing from Betsy Bird, a children’s librarian from the New York Public Library; she discussed how the Internet and social media have helped series like Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief and Twilight create such engaged fan followings.

I’ll be popping in on Fireside Chat in the next few weeks, but make sure you tune in each Monday night at 10 p.m. EST.

The Daily WTF: Katy Perry's a Geek, or Something

Posted: 03 May 2011 08:18 AM PDT

Katy Perry, you’re not a lesbian and you’re not a geek! But in her album image for her song “Last Friday Night,” she certainly adopted the super geek look. She’s All That sequel, anyone?

Snap This: Andrew Garfield Is Rocking the Peter Parker Glasses

Posted: 03 May 2011 11:12 AM PDT

Remember how in 2002′s Spider-Man Tobey Maguire looked a bit awkward as a high-school senior? Andrew Garfield, currently shooting The Amazing Spider-Man in New York, doesn’t have that problem. It’s unclear if the movie focuses on Peter Parker in high school or college, but Garfield — with glasses, backpack, and skateboard — looks appropriately studious and geeky. But we’ll have to wait over a year to judge how well Garfield brings Spider-Man back to life: The movie comes out July 2012.
