While Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried were in San Francisco, they made an appearance at Macy’s. I took some footage with my Mino and thought I would make a little video using my broadcast media skills (please note the lower case “b” in “broadcast”).

Here’s what I came up with:

My friend said that my commentary sounded like I hated everyone – and I kinda had the tone of Dwight Schrute.

I don’t know if I should take that as an insult or a compliment.

* This week’s episode of Glee offends the disabled…

* …but Defying Gravity still happily plays on repeat in my head.

* Mad Men had its super-poignant and orgasmically emotional season finale. Now my Sundays are empty and lonely.

* Luckily, January Jones will be hosting SNL tomorrow in an attempt to fill that void.

*Carrie Prejean digs herself into a bigger moron hole not once…

* …but twice!

* Minnie Driver is set to join the cast of Modern Family – the best show you probably aren’t watching.

* The latest protest fad in San Francisco: Hotel workers.

* 50-cent promotes his fragrance at Macy’s in SF. So that’s where he’s been all this time!

* Liu Wen becomes the first Asian Victoria’s Secret model. It’s about damn time.

* Emanuel Ungaro calls Lindsay Lohan’s collection a disaster. Is he just now realizing this?

* Speaking of disaster, Ashlee Simpson thinks she can be fashion designer.

* Meanwhile, in the world of real fashion designers, Jason Wu is set to design a capsule collection for TSE.

* First thing on my Christmas wishlist: Martin Margiela Chunky Jumper

* One word to describe Esquire’s augmented reality issue: Awesome.

* Madonna is the new face for Dolce & Gabbana because she needs to earn more money somehow.
