This is why I love Community

I’ve been a fan for a while of the NBC sitcom Community. I’ve been a fan of Dan Hartman’s for far longer (www channel101.com for some learnin about the man). But this show features two gorgeous women (Gillian Jacobs and Alison Brie) and moments like this. I left the subtitles on to show how tremendous the writing is.

Sad news for Jamie Kennedy

It seems that he and Jennifer Love Hewitt split up.  Yes, they were dating.  I guess he’ll be missing that vagazzled vajajay.  Hopefully his next girlfriend has a high pain threshold for his bedazzler.

But the good news is, now we get to find out if the old adage about going back to white men is true.

Everyone doesn’t love Raymond’s brother

From IMDB:

The leader of an Arab Anti-Discrimination group has offered to educate Brad Garrett on different cultures after the actor allegedly made “racial slurs” at a paparazzo.

The Everybody Loves Raymond star was caught on tape shouting at a photographer during a heated argument on Tuesday.

Garrett is apparently unable to understand the snapper, and shouts out that he should be addressed “in English!”

He then begins to point at his head, and is heard instructing the man to “Wear the turban! Wear the turban!”

Now the director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee has called for Garrett to take the time to learn about various ethnicities.

Nawar W. Shora tells RadarOnline.com, “We’d be happy to reach out to Mr Garrett and his crew to help educate him about the Arab/Muslim/Sikh communities. Sinking down to racial and ethnic slurs is very disappointing and highlights the need for a greater understanding.

“There’s so many stereotypes there and we’re at a time and place now where we should be past that.”

Wow. They reject Bin Laden but the Arab/Muslim/Sikh communities are actually claiming the Paparazi as their own.  Huh.

Katie Holme’s brother in law found dead

From IMDB:

Actress Katie Holmes is in mourning following the tragic death of her brother-in-law, according to a new report.Joseph Jeffrey Fretti, the husband of Holmes’ eldest sister Tamera, was found dead on 12 April in his mother Shirley’s home in Sarasota, Florida. He was 48.

A cause of death has yet to be determined but medical examiner Russell Vega tells RadarOnline.com that foul play or suicide are unlikely.

Fretti, the owner of a funeral home in Toledo, Ohio, had taken his two children to visit their grandmother.

Tamera did not accompany her husband on the trip but has since flown to Florida to bring the kids back to the family home in Ohio.

Holmes is expected to attend a funeral for Fretti in Toledo’s Gesu Church on 20 April.

Abort, abort. I repeat, Abort. We’ve lost too many trying to get her back from the Scientologists. Hug your kids, kiss your loved ones, and go into hiding. We’ll meet again when the time is right.

Dear Fox

To FOX: FOX – Fuck-Off-Xenophobes. Or, a better one: Fuck-Off-XOXOHTH.

To Joss, you are around people who love you. You don’t need FOX. You’re better than them. You know it’s going to happen again. I know that they said they wouldn’t hurt you again. They said it was a mistake. But for fuck’s sake if you go back to them you literally are ASKING FOR IT.

Ron Silver passes at 62

This is sad news for me and the film world.  I remember him best from that crappy TimeCop movie, but mostly from his excellent portrayal of himself in Heat Vision and Jack.  If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s a failed pilot directed by Ben Stiller and stars Ron Silver, Jack Black, Owen Wilson, and Christine Taylor. It was written by those two glorious geniuses Rob Shrab and Dan Harmon.  Go torrent it.  Any description I can give won’t do it justice.  And it’s ok to torrent it since it isn’t available any other way.

Ron Silver died in his sleep after battling with esophageal cancer.  He will be missed.
