Proving that NBC hates viewers of anything that has a script, they've chosen to move the date of the Emmy Awards, which they get to host in 2010, into August so they don't lose out on any football broadcasts. I guess if they figure they won't even be producing scripted programming at that point, why bother honoring those who are? 

The never ending Twilight media blitz continues tomorrow, with Robert Pattinson appearing on Ellen in a segment that was pre-taped. Supposedly he offhandedly asked a girl at a signing to get naked, and she started stripping, causing security to drag her away. Personally, I think he's actually a vampire and glamored her. I mean look at his hair - if he could see himself in a mirror, would he really leave the house looking like that?

Over at io9.com, they've got a huge collection of video from the construction of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios in Orlando. They appear to be building everything, from the castle, to the town to rides and everything else, and got Draco Malfoy to supervise, or something.

People who have never heard of the Darwin Awards have equipped a Ford F650 pickup truck with a 7,000 HP GE jet engine, enabling the street legal package to reach speeds of over 200mph. It's available for hire, if you can figure out why you'd want it or where you'd be able to fire it up.

For little boys who never grew up, the latest Los Angeles fashion accessory is putting a geodesic dome in a tree to watch nature, or just hang up a sign that says "No girls allowed" in their $20,000 treehouse.

In Glee news, we've got a pair of interviews from the stars. First up, we have Cory Monteith talking to TVAddict, and spilling that Ryan Murphy wasn't sure the show would make it past the original 13-episode order, so cliffhangers like the pregnancy were wrapped up, which gives them a lot more freedom for the second half of the season.  Meanwhile Jenna Ushkowitz tells the NYPost she wants Tina to join Cheerios! Oh, and a last minute addition from the EW Spurf Michael Ausiello says the Madonna episode of Glee will have Rachel singing five different songs.

In Levi Johnston news, Playgirl didn't release any new photos today, instead allowing both The Insider and Entertainment Tonight to film part of the photoshoots and air them. Trent has some screengrabs from Entertainment Tonight, along with some shaky video of him rolling around naked in a bed. Down in Video Meme, we'll have a preview video from his shower scenes.

Over at Twirlit, which appears to be a site for straight women, they have a list called "You Can Look, But You Can't Touch: 7 Hot (Openly) Gay Actors" which is a pretty decent mainstream list. If you're observant, you notice in the URL itself refers to eight actors. Which is how many were listed when I first saw it. It looks like lawyers phoned.

I really, truly didn't think I'd ever forgive the Daily Mail over in the U.K. over Jan Moir, but now I realize they're to be taken no more seriously than supermarket tabloids in the U.S. that write about Batboy.  Monday they had an article that chemicals in plastics are "feminising boys' so they play like little girls.

Evidently a mainstream political candidate for attorney general in Texas thinks a poorly worded constitutional amendment outlawing gay marriage actually nullified all marriages in the state. While this would amuse me to no end, I can't imagine a judge agreeing with her.

In the story that just won't die, but probably should, The Huffington Post has "An Open Letter to Adam Lambert - From the Gay Thought Police" and it's pretty harsh - on Aaron Hicklin over at Out. Nobody in journalism is on the dude's side. Not here, not anywhere.

Over at CampusMen, which bills itself as a way for hot guys to promote themselves to hot coeds (Ha!) there's a short video on the taking of a single artistic nude photo, guerilla style, outdoors. The video nor the page has any actual nudity beyond what we'd show in a Briefs post, but it may be NSFW. I'd never thought about the "how" of pictures like this.

The suspect arrested in the brutal murder in Puerto Rico has had a bond hearing, and bail has been set at $4 million, which is higher than any bail bondsman in Puerto Rico is certified to post. I don't think his gay panic defense is going to help him.

In my ongoing efforts around your holiday shopping, American Family Association has responded to yesterday's Gap ad that used "Christmas" along with "Kwanzaa" "Hanukkha" and "Solstice" on equal footing. Instead of thanking Gap for being inclusive and respectful, they've decided that Gap is supporting witchcraft. You guys may be getting tired of this, but I think it's hysterical.

And in today's Gift Ideas, we're going to suggest two possibilities. The first is Bacon Pop, which is bacon-flavored popcorn. Because everything is better with bacon. And the second, which sadly I could use, is The Boyfriend Pillow, for those of us that just need a cuddle but don't have any way of getting one.

As promised, we'll start with the preview from The Insider showing Levi Johnston taking a shower and dripping wet. I apologize that it also teases Sarah Palin news and Jon Gosselin, but it's what they made available.

I can't believe I'm going to say this, but we next have the first of three clips from Conan O'Brien, who I'm not a fan of, but he's having a good week. He interviews Jane Lynch of Glee here, and is obviously a big fan. That Jane is such a great interview helps, and her having a history with sidekick Andy Richter was a major plus.

Next up, we have his attempt at humor, hiring a vampire assistant named Cody Devereaux (Eric Callero), who has sidekicks of a vampire and a mummy. Mostly it falls flat, but the beefcake is good, and the final punchline at the end caught me by surprise.

In my favorite piece, he shows a clip from New Moon that lasts a few seconds longer than the versions everyone else has show, and says everything we've all been thinking about those waxed, abtastic Wolf Pack boys.

And finally, in my ongoing efforts to show you your job isn't as bad as some, we have a guy messing with his driving instructor. Fortunately, they beep out the bad words.
