Dinner Party Talk – Beatles on iTunes

From across the pond to your computer.

After several years of negotiation and red tape, The Beatles have arrived on iTunes. You could say Apple met Apple yesterday, since The Beatles record label is called Apple Records. Apple made a huge deal about the release, calling it a day you’ll never forget. I’m [...]

Gossip! – Gwyneth Paltrow does Glee

Gwyn guest stars on Tuesday’s Glee when she fills in as a sub for Mr. Schuester.

Gwyneth Paltrow doing Cee Lo’s “Forget You” this week on Glee is, as NY Mag puts it, “undeniably great.” After last week’s awesome all-guy rendition of “Teenage Dream” (which is now a huuuuge You Tube sensation-over 1.5 million [...]

American Fun – Snow White remix

Fresh, unique and as the DailyWhat says, a “Feast For The Senses.” Do your day a favor and listen to the magic of dice-master Pogo. He slices, dices and creates a menu of visual and auditory deliciousness. His latest, “Wishery,” chops up Disney’s Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs into whimsical delight. I’m a [...]

Gossip! – Katy Perry on December Harper’s Bazaar

Katy Perry on the upcoming holiday issue of Harper’s Bazaar

Between releasing a hit album chock full of songs that are constantly stuck in everybody’s heads, causing hoopla on Sesame Street and marrying Russell Brand in India, Katy Perry’s been a busy girl. Luckily, though, she had time to pop by Harper’s Bazaar for [...]

Talented Kids – 7-year-old covers Ke$ha

Who lets their kid play on train tracks?!

If you feel like your Wednesday is missing a little something, check out this 7-year-old covering Ke$sha’s “We R Who We R“. (Here’s Ke$ha’s original, for comparison purposes.) It’s the perfect balance of cuteness and talent, and just annoying enough to make you want to put [...]

Gossip! – Glee Does Rocky Horror

Finn, also known as Brad, for Glee’s Rocky Horror episode

After Glee’s so-called “mid-season break” (i.e. this week Fox re-ran “Hairography”, a season one episode), the cast will come back strong next week with their Rocky Horror Picture Show episode. Let’s see if the cast can take on Tim Curry. Rumor has it that [...]

American Pets – IKEA 100 Cats

Kitties sit pretty for their TV debut

What happens when a herd of 100 cats are let loose inside of a furniture store? A new IKEA commercial, of course. The stunt was tagged as an “experiment”, but the results were so full of feel-good furriness and cuddles, a new commercial was born. The kitties [...]

Pop Culture Pop-Up – Happy Days

It seems to be the week of the death of our TV parents. First, Mrs. Cleaver now Mr. Cunningham. (Florence Henderson please call your doctor!) I spent many a Tuesday night of my childhood watching Happy Days, followed by Laverne & Shirley, and was sad to hear that Howard “Mr. C”. Cunningham (Tom Bosley) [...]

Life 101 – Part of Your World

In my continuing efforts to bring a huge happy smile to your face, here’s “Part of Your World” shot underwater (and brilliantly lip synched) by a real life Mermaid playing Ariel! Created by brother and sister team Or and Shir Parag, the video took 6 months of planning and 2 days of shooting to [...]

American Fun – Wonder Woman returns

She’s flying back to TV in her invisible jet.

I loved Wonder Woman as a kid. I practiced her spin on a daily basis, hoping each time I too might magically transform into a superhero with a well-equipped costume. I repeated the act this morning in my New York City living room. Still just [...]
