So, yes, Britney Spears avoided the fake cameras long enough to act in front of legitimate TV cameras in a special hyped guest appearance on Monday night’s episode of the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother. The CBS team wisely gave her multiple scenes but kept each scene mercifully …
Does a hot tub automatically make any interview funnier? Apparently so. And I’m not the only one to think so. Super Deluxe is the latest to co-opt the concept with the debut today of Bathing with Bierko, with Craig Bierko in the tub talking up John Malkovich. This may not …
Anyone else watch 60 Minutes last night and realize the immense and intense power of sleep? Anyone not get a good night sleep last night and forget about that? Just checking. I can recall that this past weekend’s edition of Saturday Night Live, however, was perhaps the best of the …
