Morning Meme:Snooki Banished To New Jersey, NPH and David Burtka Baby Pictures, and Graham Norton Beheads Daniel Radcliffe

Toy Story 3 ruled the U.S. box office for 2010. In fact, of the Top 10 movies, four were animated, and seven were arguably targeted at kids. And one was targeted at people who would rather read about romance that actually experience it. I’m looking at you, Team Edward.

Chris Hardwick explains why we seem so fascinated with anal probing by aliens. Now if someone would just explain why the religious right is so fascinated by …

Of course it could be because conservatives have a larger amygdalas, the part of the brain that experiences fear.

Tucker Carlson was afraid no one was paying attention to him, so he advocated the death penalty for Michael Vick over dog fighting. Don’t get me wrong, as far as I’m concerned Vick should still be in jail, and he certainly shouldn’t be playing football or a hero to kids. But calling for the death penalty here is patently silly, especially months after his release and years after the crime.

Don’t look at these repurposed religious paintings on a full stomach. Jesus-Reagan cradling little lamb Beck cost me a keyboard.

With all the talk about parenting lately, how do we feel about the world’s oldest dad, age 94, who just had a child with his 52-year-old wife?

I’ve got such a man crush on Jeremy Renner. So anything he does, I’ll watch, except MI:4 with Tom Cruise. So I’m thrilled his version of Hawkeye is getting a cameo in Thor.

It turns out MTV didn’t get permission to drop Snooki in a giant hamster ball for New Year’s Eve in Times Square. So they’ll do it on the Jersey Shore instead. Consider this a warning New Jersey to be on the look out for a Wild Snooki New Year’s Eve.

Someone who presumably has a math degree and no friends took all the fun out of Venn diagrams online.

In the wake of Richard Chamberlain advising gay actors to stay closeted, Bilerico asks where the GLBT outrage is at the Hollywood machine that promotes this kind of homophobia. Have they read this site?

You may have heard that the BBC brought on a pastor who advocated killing homosexuals in Africa to comment on Sir Elton and David becoming dads. How very Fox News of them. Naturally, he was against it.  Here’s how you can complain if you live in Britain.

David Mixner wants to be sure that we don’t forget about our gay elders, those who started and lived the gay rights movement. We lose more and more of them every year.

Remember how Chris Colfer said he wanted Julie Andrews to play his grandmother, and Anne Hathaway said she wanted to play his lesbian aunt? Unsubstantiated rumors say plans are underway for that.

If you recall, Armond White is the contrarian movie critic. He was the only major critic to hate Toy Story 3. So now there’s a roundup of the best reviewed films of 2010, and what he thought of them, plus his undying love of Jonah Hex, which no one liked but him. And that includes the actors who were in the movie.

A new ruling on the Janet Jackson Nipplegate (yes, it’s still in the courts after all these years) says that because broadcasters use the public airwaves, they give up some of their First Amendment rights. I do get that concept, as the licenses are generally said to be “held in the public trust” from years ago, but that’s scary. Does that mean they could stretch it to silence investigative news reports the government doesn’t like?

Brett Favre got fined $50k for allegedly sending pictures of his peen to Jenn Sterger. I’ve seen the pictures, and I’m guessing they didn’t fine by the inch, or he could have paid with pennies.
