In case you didn’t catch that, I coined the term “Gagyonce” in reference to the new body rolling collabo of “Video Phone” between the current queens of pop video and O.D. radioplay, Beyonce and Lady Gaga.
Yes, Gagyonce sounds like some sort of version of acid reflux, but I want you to spread it around like [...]

Even though I need to be up at 6:30 a.m., there’s a reason why I am still up past 1 a.m. on a Monday night. It’s a valid reason. A very valid reason. It’s this little bitch of a movie called Paranormal Activity.
I have been putting this movie at the bottom of my list since [...]

We got models, little computer savvy girls, awkward community college dudes and a few others this week…
Danny Pudi plays the vacantly endearing Abed in NBC’s Community
Danny Pudi as Abed in Community. He’s probably one of the few things that is funny on that show.
The little Asian girl in those Windows commercials. Yeah, she’s cute…and kinda [...]

When I did my interview with Margaret Cho for Hyphen Magazine (yes, this is a shameless name drop) I asked her about the state of Asian Americans in entertainment and she answered…
There’s a great crop of (Asian American) talent. There are a couple of more Asian faces here and there – that is great. The [...]

This is the true story…of a ghost, vampire and werewolf…picked to live in a flat…and start getting real…

Okay. This is not a true story; therefore it is not “real.” I am referring to the new BBC America show, Being Human.
Take a look:
BBC has really outdone themselves this time. They [...]

True Blood is the best thing about Sundays – and this show is getting good. Real good.
Jessica and Hoyt lose their “innocence” – isn’t that swell?
Here are my top 10 highlights (in no particular order) from tonight’s episode:

A word of advice: if you are a fair-weathered Harry Potter fan like me, do a scan of the past five movies.
I say this because as soon as I saw the opening scene and heard that catchy music box theme, I was a bit confused. I totally forgot what happened in The Order of [...]

Having just recently jumped on the True Blood bandwagon, I must say…this show is like a pornographic Twilight deep-fried with debauchery and dusted with Southern charm. And don’t even get me started on the characters of Lafayette and Tara (played by Nelsan Ellis and Rutina Wesley respectively). Oooh child – they are my absolute FAVES. [...]

Janet: i finally got my hair cut
Janet: i look like the beast from beauty and the beast the tv series w/ linda hamilton
Dino: OH FUCK
Dino: [...]
