This is perhaps the funniest Gossip Girl related article I’ve read in a while.  Top to bottom just hilarious.

But now that the show is on DVD I’ve got to play a bit of catch up, as I missed the last half of the first season.  Even though Gossip Girl is Veronica Mars (now that would be a show I could get behind, her investigating with Wallace whom slept with whom, the date rapes, the affairs, the drug use, all the crazy shit that happens at an Upper West Side private high school, et cetera) I often think of her as really fat and unattractive.  I don’t know why, that just how I picture her.  Like some Frankenstein version of the cuteness we used to know as Veronica Mars.

Also, Contance Billard just like the high school I went to, except the exact opposite.  So I can relate.

Gossip Girl Season 2 begins Sept. 1 on CW.

We’re glad the kids will have someone cool to sing along with, even if the adults are all sick to death of Feist’s “1-2-3-4″ when the venerable PBS show debuts its 39th season this year. Leslie Feist will drop by to teach kids to count to four.

A salient point is to be made here. In the actual song, Feist herself has a hard time counting to 10. In fact, she doesn’t do it. Second, we’re a bit miffed that she doesn’t have a showdown with The Count. This would have been the way to go.

In the wake of Yo Gabba Gabba’s hipster credentials, is Sesame Street trying to do the same. They have Will Arnett, Heidi Klum and Jack Black making stops to the stoop made famous by Big Bird, Oscar and Grover.

It’s funny cause you don’t know what they’re saying and it’s sort of racist. What? No Hello Kitty? Still, Kristen Wiig needs to get her own sitcom cause she’s an SNL MVP. Also, it’s worth watching for the hilarious introduction by Ricky Gervais, which only confirms that the original is still the better of the two.
