I don’t know if it’s just me, but I found this video to be one of the funniest I’ve seen in a while. Perhaps it’s just the sexiness that Hugh Jackman exudes that just put me over the edge.

In the following College Humor video (that also acts as a promo for Harlem Village Academies), Jackman auditions for his toughest role yet – a teacher. Only he doesn’t get it. He doesn’t know how to audition and can’t clue in to the fact that it’s an interview, not an audition. I seriously laughed out loud and certain moments throughout the video, but I won’t spoil them for you. The audition/interview is complete with a monologue, song, and… pushups.

Enjoy the video below and be reminded why we all love the hunk that is Hugh Jackman so much.

Okay. This is going to be one of the most challenging book reviews to write as I don’t even know if I can technically review the book itself, or more the endless sexual content that is rife throughout the pages of E L James’ trilogy, beginning with the first book in the series, Fifty Shades of Grey. Out of the gate, I’ll admit my first mistake was due to my unspoken rule that I don’t read the cover or inside story prior to reading a book. I like the complete story to be a surprise from start to finish, no expectations.

I picked up Fifty Shades of Grey on my latest trip down to LA as I finished the current book I was reading, When God Was a Rabbit (which I also reviewed) and foolishly forgot to pack a second one. A quick search on a few different book sites and I noticed that the Fifty Shades trilogy was taking every single book list by storm, holding strong at the number one spot for several weeks. I figured, if that many people were reading it I should probably see what it’s all about.

Holy crap.

I Had. No. Idea. What. Was. About. To. Happen.

So this new Funny or Die video, a guy named Kyle goes and talks to his dad (Dave Foley) about his relationship with his girlfriend Rachel. They’re at the stage where they are just starting to get intimate and Kyle doesn’t want to “finish” too quickly, so he thinks of calming images… in that process, he starts thinking of his dad. Unfortunately that has the opposite affect. “I’ve thought about you several times since then and I’ve cum every time.” O.M.G.

Apparently, this has been a problem that his father has been dealing with his whole life. Men, woman, and animals all find him beyond sexy. ” I’m sexy, I’m very sexy. My extreme sexiness has been a curse my whole life”. Foley then says to him, “I’ve been down this road maybe a billion times. If you wanna be free, you’re gonna have to f*ck me.” My jaw drops, as does Kyle’s. “But I don’t want to,” he responds. Then Foley says, “Don’t you…”

You’ll have to watch this twisted and hilarious video for yourself to see what happens. Enjoy it below!

Just riding my bike home yesterday through a few different neighborhoods, as my route takes me, I noticed a common thread in the newly summerish air no matter what part of town I was in. Barbecue (or barbaquoi as Chloe Sevigny would say)! That’s right. It’s the time of year where whether beached or patio’d, you bust out the grill for your favourite hunk of meat or fish and give your meal that smokey goodness that weather like this screams for.

Depending on whether you’re grilling a white fish and want a white, or whether you’re used to your big chewy Cabernet for that prime rib, we all have our favourites for this time. Maybe though, just maybe, you’re missing out on your new favourite big red for said cuisine, and you just don’t know it. That grape could be Bonarda.

On Tuesday, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts announced that Emmy-winning talk show, activist and JC Penny spokeswoman Ellen Degeneres would be honored with the 2012 Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. The prize is set in place to honor people who make a big impact on American society just as Mark Twain himself did. Ellen isn’t the first comedian to receive the honor. She joins the likes of Bill Cosby, Tina Fey and Will Ferrell. Ellen will receive her award at a special ceremony in Washington, D.C. on October 22. Honestly, it’s about time.

Ellen is definitely a pioneer of our generation. Her dedication to equality has definitely been felt nationwide and what I love about Ellen most is her willingness to make an impact – in a big way. Whether it’s donating to the latest charity or helping out those in need, she always has a way to make you smile on a daily basis. If anyone was deserving of this award, it was Ellen. To celebrate her honor, I decided to share with you one of my favorite Ellen Show montages of her scaring her guests. Seriously, it makes me tear up from laughter every time. Watch it below.

Last week, Mike O’Brien had Olivia Wilde in the closet for “7 Minutes In Heaven“. This week, we’ve got Jeff Goldblum in the closet and it’s a good one.

O’Brien doesn’t hesitate to discuss Jurassic Park and Independence Day, some of Goldblum’s most popular films. Of course what O’Brien asks Goldblum about those films is totally awkward and ridiculous. During the interview, O’Brien (who is in the process of growing a gross mustache) calls his mom to discuss her concerns with young Hollywood. She sounds so cute!

The closet theatre scene in this segment is probably one of the best ones in terms of acting – Goldblum was really good! Lastly, there’s the kiss at the end. You’ll have to watch to find out how it goes down. Enjoy!

Hey Saved By The Bell fans – this post is for you. I recently came across an interview courtesy of The Yo Show which host and comedian Michael Yo where he interviewed the famous Lisa Turtle – cough – I mean Lark Voorhies. It’s hard to believe but, it’s almost been two decades since the show went off the air.

So, where is Lark hanging her hat these days? In the interview, Lark chats with Michael Yo about her production company and the new film she just executive produced, wrote, directed and starred in titled “Hope For Pandora’s Box.” But quickly, Yo sends the conversation in the direction we all know her from.

Michael takes Lisa back to the early days of “Saved By The Bell” and asks her about it’s early beginnings with the Disney Channel before NBC quickly bought the rights in the quick rise to popularity. They talk favorite episodes and address the rumors that she was dating/dated co-star Mark-Paul Gosselaar. One thing you will notice in the interview right way is that Lark Voorhies appearance has drastically changed. Wearing a lipstick that I can only describe as matching her hair color, Lark has come a long way from being the fresh-faced Lisa Turtle well knew and loved. However, her personality hasn’t changed a bit and she even hints a little bit that a “Saved By The Bell” reunion could be in the works. Oh god, I really hope so!

I recently wrapped up reading a book that I have been encouraging every reader I know to pick it up since I’ve finished. That book is When God Was a Rabbit by Sarah Winman. I picked the book up myself on a whim as my local (and favorite) bookstore, The Book Warehouse, was having its store-closing sale. I had seen the book amongst the recommended reads section for a while and decided I should give it a chance now that I could get it dirt-cheap. I’ll be frank; it’s worth picking this book up at full price!

To put this book succinctly, it is THE best book of the year. I find it difficult to think that I’ll come across one that’s better, and regardless, this will be the book that gets unwrapped by all my family and friends as their birthdays and holidays roll around. When God Was a Rabbit now holds a very dear place in my heart, and an even more special place next to my all-time favorite reads on my bookshelf.
