Last night I was driving home from an Emmylou Harris concert at Oregon Zoo (short review: Awesome venue, you’re right next to the elephants and before the show they released birds of prey into the audience! There is no way to put this into proper context. I never heard anything by Harris before last night [hence the lack of formal review] and was totally blown away. She’s amazing, emotionally resonant, great stage banter, she’s the real deal. I feel like I just discovered Klondike Bars as a seven-year-old.) and listening to Love Line with Dr. Drew.

Which I forgot how awesome that show is because it’s the only place you’ll get to hear a guy nonchalantly ask about his girlfriend possibly giving him chlamydia - dude she cheated on you! - and then have an 18-year-old girl call in and ask if masturbating with a dildo five to ten times a week is safe. Five to ten times! My god. It might be safe but holy crap that can’t be healthy. I mean I know she isn’t going to end up blind. The best part was during her entire call, Dr. Drew is trying to give her honest advice and help her through her problem and Seth Green is in the background munching on In-And-Out Burger and saying things like, “Yeah Matilda it’s all good! You’re just trying to find out how you like it” in this creepy pederass voice.

Funniest show on the radio.

What stopped me on the dial, oddly enough however, was Seth Green promoting Robot Chicken and talking about Family Guy and doing much of the interview in his voice he uses for Chris and imitating Soundwave from Transformers. I’m convinced that Hollywood is the least cool place on Earth. It’s basically a cesspool for all the theater dorks in high school only with more money, better makeup and fancier clothes. And before you jump all over me, I’m the least cool person I know I was both a band dork and a theater dork and several other doses of dorkitude in high school.

Anyway, the topic turned to Matthew McConaughey because Green also does the voice for McConaughey whenever he is on Family Guy. His impression was stellar and his insight into the life of McConaughey had me chortling uncontrollably.

So when I got home, of course I was flipping around YouTube for some clips of McConaughey on Family Guy, then I wanted to find the trailer for his new movie Surfer Dude, which in turn led to this clip below which just about made my night.

And yes, I realize that this might be the only post that scatologically jumps from Emmylou Harris to Dr. Drew to Seth Green to Matthew McConaughey to some surfer guy in California. Six degrees of fun!

Cate Blanchett is. She confirmed her pregnancy at the Sydney premiere of “Elizabeth: The Golden Age” when the Sydney Morning Herald asked her: “Yes, I am. You know more than me. It’s early days yet. It’s due in April.” At last! A star finally cops to being pregnant. On to more evasive celebs…

Christina Aguilera, after months of letting her belly do the talking, let the world in on her biggest “secret.” She is pregnant. Shocking, yes? When asked by Glamour what her New Year’s Resolution is, she replied, “That’ll be about the time I enter into mommyhood, so I’m hoping to have started a beautiful family with my husband!” Why did she hold off for so long? And then announce it on the pages of Glamour? At least a cover story with US Weekly would have satiated the masses.

Katie Holmes appeared in a flowing dress to one of the many premieres for husband Tom Cruise’s new film “Lions and Lambs”, which of course sparked the baby rumor mill. But her spokeperson told Us Weekly, “She is not pregnant.” Okaaaay. I guess that takes care of that.

Uhhh, yep. Still pregnant.

Matthew McConaughey is……not. But he did celebrate a bday yesterday (38)!
