M. Night Shyamalan to attend White House state dinner honoring Indian Prime Minister

Obviously no one in the White House Social Office has ever seen The Happening, or else they would have yanked that invitation real quick.

Governor Bobby Jindal and Kal Penn are also attending, which means that pretty much every famous Indian-American except the guy who plays Abed on Community will be there.

Jimmy Clausen sucker punched in the face outside of CJ's -- chicagotribune.com

marseeah:

Now I’m really hungry for a CJ’s burger. And I’m upset that Irish fans would do something like this.

This season isn’t really Jimmy’s fault, so I doubt that the puncher was mad about that.  I’m guessing this was a long overdue response to his haircut from 2 years ago.

marseeah: Joe Muto at the Opera. From the House of the Dead. Whoa… I was trying to look like a classy, cultured opera-goer, but that red-eye made me look like a freak.

From The Archives: Jimi Hendrix, in his earliest TV appearance, backs up Buddy & Stacey’s live performance of “Shotgun” with The Royal Company on WLAC-TV Channel 5’s Night Train, c. 1965.

Wow, good song.  I like how it looks like Jimi really wants to rock out and is struggling to restrain himself.

I do, however, disagree vehemently with the lead singers’ skin-tight, high-waisted pants and blousey tops.

“ They made a porn movie about Sarah Palin and the same actress, Lisa Ann, played me in the porn version of ‘30 Rock.’ Weirdly, of the three of us, Lisa Ann knows the most about foreign policy.

Tina Fey is hilarious.  And probably right.

(NY Post via Gawker)

UPDATE: Here’s the video.  Palin joke is at 3:20, but you really should watch the whole thing.  Lots of laffs.
