conan o’brien hangs onto Rebecca Black’s coattails

this clip had me choking in laughter since i first caught sight of this at teamcoco.com. i have been a follower of conan o’brien for years now (just in case you haven’t caught on yet) and i’m no stranger to his ingenious digs at various celebrities and other absurdities, but this is priceless!

rebecca black’s sudden online notoriety was literally begging for a “Conan” treatment, and TV-dom’s ginger-haired funnyman doesn’t disappoint. just check out his outrageous take (a song titled Thursday) on rebecca black’s infamous music video Friday.

and to illustrate this in a more succinct statement, let us use the following equation:

Autotune + Monotone Delivery + Mind-Numbingly Inane Lyrics = Priceless Hit

so what set this off? well, just in case you’ve been living under a rock these past few days, here’s the original music video featuring the unfortunate ms. rebecca black.

incidentally, the online consensus is that “Friday” could very well be the Worst Music Video ever produced — yes, even worse than Kim Kardashian’s widely panned “Jam”. Naturally, Conan aired his views on that one, too. you really didn’t think he’d take a rain check on that one, did you?

a snippet from Glee

nope, ‘m not a regular Glee viewer (so far, i’ve only managed to watch a single entire episode, which was “The Substitute”). tons of news, promos and products have already come out of this popular hit show and made stars out of its cast, eliciting a range of reactions from its legion of fans. and it looks like the movement hasn’t lost its steam yet.

the terms “Glee” and “Gleeks” have long becomewell-known by-words in mainstream pop, and although this popular phenomenon hasn’t entirely made a believer out of me, this video clip of Gwyneth Paltrow belting out a sanitized version of Cee Loo’s catchy “Forget You” has really grown on me.

Gwyneth Paltrow’s well-timed Glee cameo — after her amazing CMA performance that earned her a standing ovation from country stars and fans — has once again highlighted her vocal pipes, which aren’t that bad by the way. We already knew she could sing (remember “Cruisin’”, her duet with Huey Lewis in Duets and her nightclub act in Infamous?).

here, though, she really looks like she’s enjoying herself.

anne hathaway as katie holmes on SNL

i rarely watch Saturday Night Live (SNL), and i haven’t able to watch any of anne hathaway’s movies lately (duh! i’m barely aware of what gets shown in local theaters these days) but her short skit on SNL cracked me up!

in this particular episode, anne hathaway made several hilarious celebrity sketches (including Kate Middleton, Prince William’s fiancee), but her take on katie holmes was so spot on (take note of her lopsided facial antics). and the girl who plays miley cyrus is a hoot. this one’s definitely a hit 

yowzah!

how ’bout this, manny…?

with all the hoopla surrounding manny  pacquiao’s latest triumph (over the unfortunate antonio margarito) in Dallas, TX, here’s another clip that should tickle your funny bone heheheh….

oops… it looks like i.Ph does not support this tool yet (a pity), so i’m leaving a link here instead — “Sometimes When I Punch“ (also tagged as manny’s latest theme).

this is in reference to pacman’s incessant multi-tasking tendencies.. which aren’t much of a secret. enjoy

it’s a doggone world

here are a few interesting snaps at the recently concluded 2010 DFS Crufts Dog Show (an annual event held in Birmingham, UK), which is incidentally the world’s largest dog show.

doggone tired and all tuckered out.

three of a kind — a girl flanked by two great pyrenees

any text to embellish this scene would only end up sounding superfluous, so i’m going to leave it up to you to make your caption.

and since TPS is a dyed-in-the-wool fan of westies (west highland white terrier), i’m putting one in, too (although this one was not taken during the competition). enjoy.
