They all look like winners to me

Out golden boy Matthew Mitcham is back in competition. No, not in the Winter Olympics (diving into a frozen pool is tough on the noggin), but in the second season of Rexona - Australia's Greatest Athlete.

Matt and seven other Aussie sports stars compete in various challenges each week, sort of like Battle of the Network Stars, but with hot guys in speedos instead of jiggly Charlene Tilton and hot-headed Robert Conrad. … continue reading

This week's Drag Ya Later with Jon & John takes its inspiration from last night's episode of RuPaul's Drag Race wherein the contestants first had to makeover a RuPaul doll. This one is for all you boys that liked to play with your sister's Barbie dolls. And for those that never got the chance, now you can do it vicariously in the privacy of your own home.

The boys also discuss what went down on what happened in last night's episode which included the amazing Dita Von Teese as a guest judge.

What did you think of the episode? Do you think the right girl get sent home? (I do!)

Will Little Red Riding Ho make it to safety? More importantly, what will happen when Roxy confronts Sin-derella?

Somehow I ended up with a lot of commercials for mid-season replacement shows today. Don't worry, I skipped the Jerry Seinfeld one, I'm not cruel. HBO has something called How To Make It In America, and it looks like all hot guys and the fashion industry. Oh, and I think they're all straight, so it must be the "fantasy genre."

NBC has a new game show called Minute To Win It that looks silly. Well, game shows other than Jeopardy are silly by definition, but this one is so low rent it uses toilet paper as a physical challenge. Classy.

Last night Jay Leno talked about the image rehab he did by appearing in the Super Bowl commercial for David Letterman's show. Jay is so decidedly nice that he's either a robot, or he eats nothing but puppies and kittens behind closed doors.

This week Kevin and Scotty from Brothers & Sisters take top honors in the Battle of the Network Gays contest. The Pasadena power couple haven't been major players in our weekly poll for some time, but last week's B&S episode was a return to form both for them and the show. Welcome back guys!

Congrats also to runners up Nicholas Rodriguez and Cameron from Modern Family.

Join us Friday when we present four new contenders for the throne!

As the American Idol hopefuls head to Hollywood this week, they'll encounter Idol's newest judge, Ellen DeGeneres. Speculating about what Ellen will add to Idol has been a hot topic for months, tonight we finally find out.

But first, The Spawning continues on today's One Life to Live. We'll continue to liveblog the action, so be sure to join us starting at 2PM Eastern! … continue reading

Because the Super Bowl isn’t really over until we’ve analyzed it to death, we’ve got about a week to go. But since I don’t care about the game itself, I’ll stick with pop culture. For example, here’s a detailed story of how the Leno/Oprah/Letterman commercial happened.

In other Super Bowl news, the broadcast was the most watched television program in the history of television programs. It even eclipsed the finale of M*A*S*H which had held the title since I was a kid, and the urban legend was that when it was over, the collective run to the bathroom caused flooding in some urban areas. It’s estimated that 106.5 million people tuned in.

There’s a really Lost-esque analysis of Willie Adama on Caprica over here. I’ve never paid close enough attention to any show to have noticed this stuff, but it’s logically consistent. I have gone out of my way to not explain it here, so if you go read it, no complaining about spoilers, and put spoiler warnings in any comments.

Presented with minimal comments, an Australian man has broken the world record by swallowing 18 swords at the same time. There’s video at the link. And does anybody have his number?

Bill Murray gave a rare interview in support of The Fantastic Mr. Fox, and I see why he doesn’t do interviews. He could be joking on the arrogant parts, but my gut says he’s not. The interesting part is that he says he’s told them he’ll come back for Ghostbusters III if they kill him off in the first reel and he gets to be a ghost. After reading the interview, I’ll kill him off now.

I don’t know why, but I love watching Christopher Lloyd onscreen. He does crazy really well, so the fact that he’s playing a therapist on Chuck later this year makes some sort of trippy sense. If you buy the oft-quoted wisdom that most shrinks are crazy. Or judge them all by Dr. Phil.

You know what makes me laugh? All this talk about Howard Stern replacing Simon Cowell on American Idol. It’s not the fact that he’d want $100 million a year, or that he has no music background. What’s funny is that anybody thinks Fox would put him on broadcast live, repeatedly, with that mouth of his. They’d run through seven-second delay guys like candy.

Uniformed staff at North West Ambulance Service in the UK have been banned from wearing novelty socks under threat of being sacked. I don’t know what’s more disturbing – that a supervisor would care about people wearing happy socks, or that there were enough people wearing novelty socks to be a problem.

Carrie Prejean is engaged to be opposite married to a quarterback. This will last until fans start heckling him on field like they did Tony Romo over Jessica Simpson. You have your assignment, homos. Make it happen!

Fresh on the news that the Captain America movie will have a musical aspect, we find out he’ll have a backing group of sorts. The Avengers don’t appear until a later movie, but Captain gets the Invaders covering his back for the second half of the movie as he battles Red Skull.

The Glee-ful podcast today reveals that Sandy, the predatory gay drug dealing, former show choir director, is coming back in episode 16. Naturally, we’re thrilled. See our smiles?

This week’s TV Guide Canada poll is about which soap star needs to release a sex tape. It’s an interesting mix of nominees that includes men and women, gay and straight character portrayals, and even Jeanne Cooper on The Young and the Restless, who’s 80 years old. Of particular interest here is the inclusion of Jake Silbermann (Noah, ATWT) and Brett Claywell (Kyle, OLTL). So go and vote for our boys so Jef doesn’t have to do it all by himself.

Today in Hollywood recycling, Gunsmoke is up for a movie treatment. Competing to step into the Marshall Matt Dillon role are heartthrobs from two generations – Brad Pitt and Ryan Reynolds. I’m torn here because I really think Ryan is too young for the part, but Brad has already done westerns, and the results weren’t always pretty. Anybody remember The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford? The name is two hours too long. … continue reading
