Entertainment Link-Off: Cheers Conan

I know the post is about Conan O’Brien (mostly), but let’s start with the drop dead gorgeous ex-Friday Night Lights starlet Adrienne Palicki.

Let’s start with a recap of the final Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien (Kansas City Star)

Conan has to stay off TV for the next seven months but what if he never came back? He could make a huge impact on the interweb. (New York Times)

Did you know that Artie Lange (of talking about Joe Buck sucking cock fame) predicted that the whole Conan mess would happen? (The Comic’s Comic)

After the jump, lots more on Conan, slightly NSFW sports stuff, and some Simpsons just because. Continue reading →

Wednesday Link-Off: It’s A Fight

The Golden Globes were last weekend. Speaking of golden globes, here’s Christina Hendricks.

People visit emergency rooms for such random reasons. God help America. (Deadspin)

Jim Nantz and CBS are bringing you the latest from disaster riddled Haitia. (The Sporting Blog)

The Irish love to fight. They don’t even have to be drunk to have a proper brawl in the middle of a field. Wait, it was a soccer game? Did they think they were hockey players? (Unprofessional Foul)

After the jump, hockey fights in Canada, rickrolling God, and Brett Favre forgot his belt so his pants hit the ground. Continue reading →

Sunday Link-Off: Hate The Game

Let’s kick off this SLO with an old favourite. Here’s Megan Fox.

Don Cherry quite politely (but quite rightly) tells a reporter to fuck off. Give him hell, Grapes! (Deadspin)

If Michael Jackson’s death didn’t prove it, then the Tiger Woods scandal did. TMZ is beating mainstream media at their own game. (Orlando Sentinel)

What do you do when your school’s coach bolts for a better gig? Burn everything to the ground. (You Been Blinded)

After the jump, general soccer hooliganism, Hedo Turkoglu thinks cell phone cameras will steal his soul, and Keith Olbermann for the win. Continue reading →

Entertainment Link-Off: The Replacements

Jackie’s out and I’m in. The ELO is probably going to be a little different until Jackie gets back so settle in for a wild ride. Anyway, let’s kick things off with Blake Lively. If you check out my linkdumps regularly, you would see her fairly often.

Here’s an example of how things are different. Would Jackie link to a picture of a 5-year-old hitting a beer bong? The better question is who would let a 5-year-old hit a beer bong? (Lion’s Den U)

Maybe I’ll make up for that with the usual. Liam Neeson, maybe? How ’bout Rampage Jackson? Yes, it’s The A-Team trailer. (/Film)

And it’s time for your token Avatar is racist and anti-American essay. (New York Times)

After the jump, some sports/entertainment stuff, Leno vs. Conan, and the Taco Bell commercial girl. Continue reading →

Wednesday Link-Off

Ashley Greene’s SI photoshoot may be an ad for SoBe but it put her on my radar for the SI swimsuit cover.

First the Americans are accused of borrowing the Canadian style of play and now the Russians are doing the same. After all, line brawls are a Canadian thing. (Fanhouse)

It’s a look at the 11 most painfully obvious newspaper stories. And you wonder why newspapers are dying. It should be obvious. (11 Points)

A Star Wars burlesque show? Now I’ve seen it all. Or I will when I go see it. (LA Weekly)

After the jump, Conan farts in NBC’s general direction, Mike Tyson hosts Monday Night Raw, and the LT style electric glide. Continue reading →

Sunday Link-Off: It Came From YouTube

Here’s Amanda Bynes. And the world is a better place for this.

Our buddies over at The Lion’s Den University have done it again. It’s the whole Bro Code in one easy to handle post. (Lion’s Den U)

How often do you see a sporting event in a movie and thing it would be great to watch in person? Well, here’s 10 that we know you want to see live. (FunnyCrave) Personally, I would have included the Junior Goodwill Games Hockey final from D2: The Mighty Ducks. Quack!

FREAK OUT! The best celebrity freak outs that the interweb has to offer. (Urlesque)

After the jump, more embedded YouTube fun, how not to pull of a Gatorade shower, and you play to win the game. Continue reading →

Entertainment Link-Off: Be A Nerd, Join the Herd

This weekend marks the return of one of the best shows on network TV right now. Chuck premieres tomorrow night with 2 back to back new episodes followed by another new episode in its regular timeslot on Monday at 8 pm on NBC (CityTV in Canada). To celebrate this special occasion, here’s Yvonne Strahovski.

This post also marks my last Entertainment Link-Off before going on a 2 month hiatus. I can only assume that Steve is taking over, so he’ll keep you company for a little while.

After the jump Jay Leno’s in trouble at NBC, some more Avatar links, my own list of top 10 films of 2009 and Michael Cera shows some ‘range’ in his acting. Continue reading →

Wednesday Link-Off: Still In The Woods

America may have won the battle last night, but Kim Cloutier proves that we’ve won the war.

We have to come up with a new name for athletes whose popularity transcends sports. The entertainment media is just all over some of these folks. For example, Elin Nordegren is being followed by the paparazzi in France. The good news for her is that she’s doing quite well for herself spending Tiger’s money. (People)

In an example of “opposites attract” a heavyweight boxing champion is dating a very short actress who is most famous for playing a character that gets beat up rather than doing the beating. (The Big Lead) (I haven’t seen Heroes for about two seasons now and I don’t care if anything’s changed.)

Naturally, a celebthletes (does that work?) intro would have to include Tiger Woods. Fortunately, legendary writer Buzz Bissinger has a piece looking inside the head and life of Tiger. (Vanity Fair)

After the jump, even more Tiger Woods, Silvio’s up to similar tricks, and this year’s awesome New Year’s stunt. Continue reading →

Sunday Link-Off: Sporting Brouhaha

For the first SLO of a new year, here’s a new face for the blog, Bar Refaeli.

A look at athlete “transgressions” from an inside perspective. (New York Times)

Suppose somebody was to make a movie about Tiger Woods’ transgressions. Who would you put in that movie? Well, somebody’s already fantasy cast a Tiger Wood’s biopic. (Fanhouse)

Basketball is such a civil sport. Players will fight with fans, sleep with other players’ fiancés and even draw guns on each other. Even weirder, it was teammates drawing guns on each other. (Deadspin) And you thought the NFL had a culture problem…

After the jump, the return of wrestling’s Monday night wars, even more decade and year retrospectives, and the interstellar A-Team. Continue reading →

Entertainment Link-Off: The New Year Is Here!

Happy New Year!!! Welcome to the first edition of the Entertainment Link-Off in 2010. Let’s kick off the new year with Isabel Lucas. She can be seen in the upcoming vampire flick Daybreakers, which is out next week.

After the jump a brief look back into 2009, Ricky Gervais and Elmo reunite and another James Cameron/Avatar related video. I sent Steve the link to the ‘making of the bootleg’ video and he poached it and put it in his Wednesday Link-Off. Bastard. Continue reading →
