Andy Samberg Might Be On Top of the World.

There’s so much I love about Saturday Night Live. Maybe you know that already. It’s not like I’ve posted about it that much. Or ever. I watched the season finale knowing it could be the end for Kristen Wiig, Andy Samberg and Jason Sudekis and started misting up with Kristen between Bill Hader and Lorne … Continue reading

Avengers, Assembled

I went to see the Avengers without a ton of knowledge about the movie. I haven’t seen a good chunk of the movies about the individual superheroes involved, and I haven’t read the comic books or graphic novels. I saw the movie for a few reasons. It looked good, I like the cast and I … Continue reading

Belushi: The Man, The Myth, The Legend

This might sound morbid, but a lot of the books I read are about dead celebrities and politicians. After all is said and done, I think it’s interesting to say who says what about which situations. A book I just finished reading that falls neatly under this category is Belushi. Written by Judith Belushi Pisano … Continue reading

Shonda Rhimes is Slowly Ruining My Life

Before I even begin: SPOILER ALERT. I sometimes forget that Grey’s Anatomy hasn’t been in my life that long. I picked it up the summer after my freshman year of college, when I was on campus taking summer classes. I watched the first three seasons on DVD from the library and found the rest online. … Continue reading

There is Nothing I Hate More than TV Finale Season

I have loved television my entire life. I love watching it, making it, whatever it is, I enjoy it. I watch a wide variety of shows: written, reality, medical, dramedy, you name it. I love the weeks from mid-September to early-November that shows premiere, and the few weeks during January and March that signal in … Continue reading

The Many Concerns of Mindy Kaling and the Rest of the Female Population

Mindy Kaling is a woman of many hats, both literal and metaphorical: television writer and producer, shopaholic, doughnut connoisseur, Twitter icon. With her first book, the autobiographical Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns), she adds another few hats, among them being author and child pageant star with the fictitious Androgynous Kids and … Continue reading

Adam Yauch (MCA) August 5 1964- May 4 2012: The Coldplay Tribute

I’ve always liked the Beastie Boys. One of the first films I wanted to see at the Sundance Film Festival in 2011 was Fight For Your Right… Revisited. Now, a year and a half later, the writer and director of the project, Adam Yauch (MCA) has lost a difficult battle with cancer. The Beastie Boys … Continue reading

Michael Ian Black Does Not Believe He’s Doing It Right

Michael Ian Black, of I Love The… fame, released his first book, My Custom Van, the summer between my junior and senior years of high school. One day before driver’s ed, I dragged my mother to the Waldenbooks the next town over (remember bookstores?) and bought it, planning to start it as soon as I … Continue reading

Stefano: I’m On A Roll

When Stefano Langone was last seen on American Idol’s tenth season (he placed seventh), he declared, like most other contestants, that America had not seen the last of him yet. A year after being eliminated, Stefano, who has since dropped his last name, is back on the music scene after the release of his first … Continue reading

Tina Fey Is My Spirit Animal; Or Why Bossypants Should Be Required Reading For Teenage Girls

If there was any book I wish had been around during my teenage years, it would be Tina Fey’s Bossypants. When the book was announced, I was psyched because Tina Fey has always kind of gotten it. Not many people who fall outside the 13-25 age bracket really understands how to relate to teenagers in … Continue reading
