Last night were the infamous Golden Globe Awards hosted by non other than Ricky Gervais. Although I didn’t totally get the beer glass thing (could have been because I stopped watching half way through, then came back to it at the end), I thought he did a pretty good job.

Well, that’s what happened to me this weekend when I got the tickle in the back fo my throat, but being the model employee guy that I am, I decided to stay in all weekend and kill it before I missed any work.
So how would one go about doing this? I More >

The most famous naked man in Hollywood
Good morning everyone. I’m assuming everyone watched, or at the very least acknowledged the fact that the Oscars were on TV last night. I’m not going to come out and be all Gawker about it and pretend that this is your best and only source of good info, so read the following with the intention of reading another review from a credible source.
Okay, the good:
Ahem… Honestly, Wolverine did a pretty nice job. He brought a lot of Tony’isms with him to the show, but really brought that movie star quality host back from the More >
