If someone said that something happened a decade ago, I still think it happened in the early 90s. I realize this is wrong and I’m getting old and while I should finally accept that it is TWENTY years ago –…

Foster The People. Pumped Up Kicks (Butch Clancy Remix). Truly Mesmerizing. Makes me ponder the 10,000 hour rule.

I’ve developed a massive crush on Amy Poehler in the past six or so months and am so utterly giddy that Parks and Recreation returns next week on Sept 22nd (8:30p/7:30c on NBC). Aside from the fact that she is…

I saw the Jeremy Piven “walking his Emmys” photo posted with all the “what a dick” commentary not far behind. Then this video popped up on my tumblr feed (FYI, popgurls tumblr here) with the explanation: So, my friend Eric…

We’re all just walking around her just trying to get a glimpse of Patricia Clarkson as Tammy One. I’m not even in any scenes with her, but I’m pretending that I am. Oh, flaily hands of glee! There’s a sneak…

There has been a lot of extremely deserved buzz around Adele’s performance of “Someone Like You” last night on the VMAs. I don’t really have much to add except that I keep replaying it and it really doesn’t matter if…

Whether you’re recovering from Hurricane Irene (I’m still waiting for the flooding to completely subside and roads to open up around here) or the 2011 MTV VMAs (hate to agree with Perez Hilton, but the bro-hug between Watch the Throne…

Matt Zarley keeps asking “WTF” in his new song and I am totally on board with that question. All I can say is that the Tumblr comment that called this “The Gay Rebecca Black” is spot-on — the song is…

No, seriously. And it couldn’t be cuter! To promote the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards this Sunday at 9pm – MTV.com is rolling out several memorable VMA moments… as reenacted by animals. The first one is up now, with Cher…

If you haven’t checked out Radiolab — either via your local National Public Radio station or podcast — I suggest that you add it to your to-do list for this week. I’m sure that there are big fancy ways to…

Continuing on from yesterday’s school nostalgia, I just came across this heartwarming tale for those of us who loved foil stickers and brightly colored unicorns on our school folders: Lisa FrankUCBcomedy.comWatch more comedy videos from the twisted minds of the…

You don’t take daily capybara breaks? Well, okay, neither do I — but after this, I’m so going to start. I’ve always found capybaras to be rather adorable (even if they were the inspiration for The Princess Bride’s Rodents of…

So, my Dirty Dancing Remake post from yesterday spurred this great question from PopGurls writer Mala: “How exactly is Penny going to get knocked up by Robbie the creep and have a back alley illegal abortion?!” Because we ALL know…

Kenny Ortega announced that he has signed on to do a remake of Dirty Dancing. Because Dirty Dancing needed to be remade? Couldn’t he have taken a page from his own book — dropping out of the Footloose remake –…

With the worst reputation. I just read that Annette Charles, who played the infamous ChaCha Digregorio passed away at the young age of 66. Cancer, sadly. This hasn’t been a good year for Grease cast — Jeff Conway, whose battle…

I love, love Better Off Dead beyond the telling of it. From the first time I saw in on HBO, I would watch it over and over — absolutely in love with the surreal absurdity. While Sixteen Candles is the…

It’s hot, it’s Thursday and it’s almost 5pm. At least, where I am. But I’m sure you don’t want to be doing anything taxing anymore than I do. This is what you need — Sesame Street takes on “Sure Shot,”…

A few days ago there was a this huge photo dump on Buzzfeed of oldskool *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys pics, which sent me into re-reading a lot of our *NSYNC Attic posts. I feel like I’ve been going back to…

My brother refuses to play Scrabble with me. It’s been a long standing issue in our relationship — whether it’s at a family gathering or we’re just sitting around bored, he just won’t play. He’s a smart guy and has…

My cousin just posted the words to “My Little Playmate” which reminded me that I recently asked my favorite 7 year old if kids still do those hand-clapping songs. She didn’t really know what i was talking about which made…
