File under: BUZZKILL!

News broke today that celeb couple Jane Kaczmarek and Bradley Whitford are divorcing after 16 years of marriage.

Jane Kaczmarek & Bradley Whitford

You’ll recognize Kaczmarek from her starring role on Malcolm in the Middle and Whitford from The West Wing.  The couple - who seem perfect for each other, might add! - were married in 1992 and have three children

A real shame, no?  16 years is an eternity for a Hollywood pair.

Obama and His Entourage Hug It Out

Ridonk!  Following President Barack Obama’s admission that he looooooves HBO’s Entourage, the fine folks over at Landline TV decided to cast Barry in a presidential version of his very favorite TV show.

Feast your eyes on the pilot episode of Obamtourage:

Lawlz!  I’ve gotta admit, I’m pretty into the Hillary Clinton character, and I wish that Joe Biden had more lines. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, on the other hand, could’ve been better.  He’s WAY cuter in real life, after all.

FUN FACT: Entourage’s Ari Gold is based on real-life talent agent Ari Emanuel, brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, one of the dudes spoofed in this vid.

FUN FACT #2: Character Josh Lyman on The West Wing is supposedly based on Rahm.  So basically a spoof of a spoofed person is the brother of a guy who’s also been spoofed in one of the same spoofs.  Wait, did I get that right?

But I digress.  Back to Obamtourage!  Definitely a job well done, no?  Definitely one of the less cringe-worthy spoofs I’ve seen in a long, long time.  Kudos to Landline TV!

Bret Michaels in… A Letter From Death Row!

Hey-oohhhh!  Did everyone watch the Rock of Love Bus reunion special last night?  Could everyone see the regret in Bret Michaels’s eyes?  Holler at me, Team Mindy!  Taya ain’t nothin’ but a pair of squiggly eyebrows, if you ask me.

Now I know what you’re thinking: WHERE will I find something to watch next Sunday that’ll combine both Bret Michaels and bad acting?

I got your answer right here.  Find yourself a copy of psychological thriller A Letter From Death Row, written by (WHAM!), directed by (BAM!), and starring (SHAZAM!) Bret Michaels!  Oh, and no big deal, he soundtracked it, too.

Check out this trailer:

Bret’s acting is reminiscent of a young Joey Lawrence, no?  SO GOOD.  He plays convicted killer Michael Raine.  OOooOOooh!

And YES, that’s Martin Sheen!  Before he was dreamy President Barlet on The West Wing (step aside, Barack!), he starred as Bret’s papa in A Letter From Death Row.  And HELLO! They threw in a Charlie Sheen cameo as a bonus!

As for the plot, it’s basically Silence of the Lambs meets The Fugitive, except way better.

YOU’RE WELCOME!

Can You Smell What Barack Is Cooking?

While you were all watching 8 hours of Lost last night, I was doing something useful with my time, namely, EDUCATING MYSELF!

Look at what I learned about politics!  A Japanese company has created an amazing Barack Obama action figure.  WOW!  You know how I feel about action figures, people!

Have you ever seen anything better than this?:

Barack Obama Action Figure

Darth Vader, what are YOU doing here?!

You really need to look at each and every posed shot on the site.  Por ejemplo, what’s this all about?:

Barack Obama Action Figure

Déjeuner sur le concrete!  Snoozin’ on the job already, Barack?  Ha ha hee hee ha!  Or maybe he’s doing sit-ups, using oranges to weigh his legs down.

Man, all these pics of the Barack Lobster with weaponry make me feel like America’s cool new pres is Jack Bauer from 24, if Jack Bauer weren’t creepy and helluv Republican.  Acsh, this doll makes me feel as if 24 married The West Wing and made Barack Obama presidency babies.

I wish that made sense. Thanks to Jenni at BuzzFeed for the tip!
