Colbert Won't Tell Us How to Get to Socialist Sesame Street
Last night Stephen Colbert took on Sesame Street, the "most insidious socialist brainwashing program in our nation's history," on its 40th anniversary. When not condemning SS for indoctrinating children with a love of learning and showing adorable clips, he calls out Grover for allowing kids to think marriage is just between two people and the legalization of Bert-and-Ernie marriages.
Kellan and Ashley Joke About Robert in SF, Aniston Hits the Stage in NYC, and Twilight Dominates People's Choice Noms!
Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene popped up to San Francisco yesterday for a fan event where they joked about shaving Robert Pattinson's head and what vampires smell like. They also have reason to celebrate — the Twilight saga dominated today's People's Choice Award nominations. Plus, we have video of Jennifer Aniston at last night's 24 Hour Plays in NYC and Spencer Pratt threatening to get a vasectomy.
Volturi Vampires, Plus the Daytime Emmys and Evan Rachel Wood on True Blood!
It's a vampire-filled episode for the PopSugar Rush weekend edition. It's not all about bloodsuckers, though — check out a preview of what to expect from the Daytime Emmys this weekend and a NYC hotel that's giving the outside quite a view. All that and a little bit of Edward Cullen to set your weekend off on the right foot.
Cute Alert: Child on Sesame Street Explains Marriage
Some kids are so cute I just want to run out and get preggers. I know it's a little more complicated than that, but this kid makes the choice seem easy. This little charmer is being asked by Grover what a marriage is.
Twin Peeps: Dr. Phil and Muppet Who Complained About a Fly in His Soup
For some reason I was watching this adorable Sesame Street episode about a guy who complains to Grover, the waiter, about a fly in his soup and I thought, he sure looks like Dr. Phil. And what do you know?
You Always Gotta Watch the Quiet Ones
I always knew that Ernie was the stabilizing force for Bert. He was the social one, the happy one, the one who always went, "Tee hee hee hee" while playing with rubber duckies. Just watch this video of Bert gone Travis Bickle, and you'll see why he never should've stopped being Ernie's roommate.
"If You Were Gay" with Burt and Ernie
You know you've thought about it before. What's up, you wondered, with those permanent bachelors Bert and Ernie? The Broadway musical Avenue Q, inspired by Sesame Street characters all grown up with adult troubles, has an awesome song Nicky (the Ernie-ish character) sings to Rod (the Burt character).
Sesame Street Spoofs CSI
When there's rhyme in the streets, it's time for RSI: Rhyme Scene Investigation. These folks need to head over to the nearest spoken word event, if you asked me. (I love the David Caruso Muppet, y'all, and he's just as smug as the original!)
Who Do You Consider a Media Hero? Collect and Trade Them!
If your Garbage Pail Kids cards are long forgotten (or Pokemon perhaps?) it might be time for a new set to collect and trade. Who might be better than a pack of media luminaries who've changed the tenor of discourse? The folks at Reclaim the Media know that it takes more than a .400 batting average to make a difference and wind up on a card — that's why they've created their own Media Heroes trading cards.
Did the Cookie Monster Say What I Think He Said?
This particular episode of Sesame Street was brought to us by the letter "F." In keeping with the theme of the program, the Cookie Monster was to use a word beginning with the letter "F" to describe the fabulously fantastic cookie in his hand. One of Jimmy Kimmel's censors, however, didn't approve of the Cookie Monster's word choice and gave him the *bleep*.
