Leading off the Entertainment Link-Off this week is Lizzy Caplan. She recently appeared in the film Hot Tub Time Machine. That film is hilarious and is filled with some quite memorable one-liners. If you haven’t seen it, you should definitely go check it out.
After the jump, Roger Ebert hates 3D movies, a new Save Chuck campaign, a few tidbits on upcoming films and the Muppets released their commentary on the hit viral video Bohemian Rhapsody. Continue reading
In honour of last night’s Lowdown radio show that covered summer movie blockbusters, here’s Scarlett Johansson. While we’re here, don’t forget to check out our new Facebook page.
The gang over at LDU are helping out the Ontario education system. They’ve got 7 sex myths that you’ll never learn in school and probably wouldn’t learn until it’s too late. (Probably NSFW) (Lion’s Den U)
Apple is by no means bitter about losing their iPhone 4G prototype and having it turn up in Gizmodo’s hands. That’s why they dispatched the San Mateo PD to layeth the smacketh down on editor Jason Chen. (Gizmodo)
Ever want to throw an octopus on the ice at a playoff game, here’s the how to guide on Detroit’s greatest tradition. (Puck Daddy)
After the jump, scads of baseball links, another legendary Biden speech, and The Beatles meet The Zombies. Continue reading
Because I link to a podcast with her in this edition of the SLO, here’s Olivia Munn. Jackie tells me I’m obligated to mention that she’s in Iron Man 2.
I have to lead with this. The biggest news of the last month (not just week) is that copyright claims are being fired off to YouTube and ending our fun with the Hitler “Downfall” parodies. It’s a sad day for humour. (Mashable)
NBA and NHL fans got some bad news this week. The NFL draft had more viewers than either league’s playoffs. The solution for the NHL is easy, though. (Sparty & Friends)
Though part of the NHL’s problem might be player image. It’s not that they’re toothless thugs. It’s that they’re hipsters. (Watch The Gap)
After the jump, the Sarah Silverman disaster, Leonard Nimoy beams back to Vulcan, and rain delay awesomeness. Continue reading
Kicking off this entry is something from Jessica Alba’s latest photoshoot for Total Film. I haven’t heard much about her lately, but she’ll be appearing in Robert Rodriguez’s Machete which is slated to hit theatres on September 3rd!
After the jump Hitler parody videos are in danger, the return of Wikus van der Merwe and William Shatner does a duet with Taiwan sensation Lin Yu Chun! Continue reading
For the return of the WLO, nobody expected me to lead with Hayden Panettiere.
A collection of the 20 greatest Monty Python sketches of all time. It’s definitely not an ex-list. (GNews)
If you thought that KFC’s Double Down was the worst thing in the world that you could eat, you find out that it’s not so bad. Crunch the numbers and its not that bad. (FiveThirtyEight)
Ex-Globe and Mail columnist Bill Houston is a bitter old man. He doesn’t really understand this whole blogging thing. Especially the part where people are upset that he would bash a reporter for using an anonymous source when he’s pulled the same trick before. Things kinda escalated from there with hilarious consequences. (Pension Plan Puppets)
After the jump, Taiwanese CGI bathroom sex, the Ben Roethlisberger timeline, and Jon Miller as Vin Scully. Continue reading
Yeah, I missed this week’s WLO because I was unbelievably busy. Hopefully that won’t happen again but to make up for it, here’s Arianny Celeste.
When the Stanley Cup Playoffs end for the Penguins (one way or another), it’s the end of the road for the Mellon Arena. But never fear, Pens fans. Their new place ain’t too shabby and doesn’t have obstructed views like so many new stadiums. (Mondesi’s House)
Phil Mickelson’s got this whole big win thing wrong. It’s supposed to be “I’m going to Disney World!” not “I’m going to Krispy Kreme!” (Devil Ball Golf)
If you were to ask David Stern, the biggest problem facing the NBA may be gambling. (He’s looking at you Tim Donaghy.) Turns out that the competitive gaming world of Starcraft in South Korea is also in rough shape thanks to underworld dealings. (Kotaku)
After the jump, more hockey links, DJ Steve Porter greatness, and an expert debate. Continue reading
Kicking off this edition of the Entertainment Link-Off is Scarlett Johansson. She’ll be appearing in the upcoming Iron Man sequel, which is a film I intend on seeing on opening day.
After the jump, a bunch of superhero related links and a random Youtube music recommendation from me! Continue reading
Making her first appearance on the blog, here’s former tennis player (definitely not tennis star) Anna Kournikova.
Here’s a cool CIS story. Some of the football players at the University of Montreal will be making an appearance in next year’s Madden game. Thing is you won’t actually see them in the game. (CIS Blog)
In other CIS news, did you know that the OUA’s scholarship rules include a gender balance rule? I don’t think seven Ontario schools knew. (CBC)
In case you didn’t notice, Tiger Woods is playing golf this weekend. Heading into today’s action, he was four strokes off the lead. His chase won’t be helped by some messages being sent from above. (Sports By Brooks)
After the jump, some baseball links, some football links, and hockey quasi-revenge. Continue reading
It’s time for another edition of the Entertainment Link-Off. This weekend marks the release of Date Night starring Tina Fey and Steve Carrell. The newly single Leighton Meester also has a role as the babysitter for the main characters’ kids in the movie, so it might be worth checking out.
After the jump a Modern Family dilemma, Tron sequel talks, more discussion about 3D movies, an amazing short film by Carl Erik Rinsch and Megan Fox makes a hot teacher. Continue reading
Seeing as just about every woman who was ever in the continental United States was rumoured to be one of Tiger’s hoes, I’m surprised that Cintia Dicker kept her name out of the scandal.
I don’t know if you’ve heard but Tiger Woods is back. His PR team didn’t do such a good job of handling the whole ho scandal but they didn’t have this handy scandal playbook. (With Leather)
And now you can not only divert scandal like Tiger but leave messages like him too with the Tiger Woods Soundboard. (Slate) Sadly, it’s no Gus Johnson Soundboard.
Need a proper exam tip for this April. The gang at LDU have you covered. (Lion’s Den U) Cheap plug: We’ve got exam tips on the next show. Hoping to finalize details to get that on LDU.
After the jump, KFC’s newest sandwich, the economics of sports, and One Shining Moment. Continue reading
