It’s Arrested Development Day. Well, the Day Before Arrested Development Day, technically, but shut up. All I can think about is Arrested Development, it being Day Before Arrested Development Day and all, and how in only a few short hours, we’ll soon be enjoying the company of Franklin and George Michael and Lindsay all over again.

That being said, here is a quilt Frank Zappa made out of women’s underwear.

Hear Prince’s Slinky Cover Of Pearl Jam’s ‘Even Flow’

Few musicians have covered as many great songs as Prince has. A brief sampling: “A Case of You” by Joni Mitchell, “Born in the USA” by Bruce Springsteen, “Just a Little Lovin” by Dusty Springfield, “Guess? Who” by Doug E. Fresh, “Crosstown Traffic” by Jimi Hendrix, “Creep” by Radiohead, “Everything Is Everything” by Lauryn Hill, “All Along the Watchtower” by Bob Dylan, probably, because everyone ever has covered “All Along the Watchtower.”

Point is, the Purple One’s wonderfully all over the place, and now he’s added a wailing snippet of Pearl Jam’s “Even Flow” to his repertoire. Hear it BEEEEElllloooowwww (Eddie Vedder impressions don’t translate to the page).

Kurt Cobain’s Daughter Criticized A Kardashian Sister For Tweeting About How Tough Life Is

Technically, a Kardashian half sister, but they all come from the same unfiltered, dirty-leaves ridden gene pool, so no difference. Anyway, Frances Bean Cobain, who’s 20 years old and now you feel ancient, tore into 17-year-old Kendall Jenner after she whined on Twitter, “Just wish things could be easier sometimes mann.”

I wouldn’t have felt bad, were it not for that extra “n.” Now I pity the English language.

Watching Real Lesbians React To Lesbian Porn Reveals Many Truths

05.25.13 Written by Josh Kurp

Truth #1: Long fake fingernails, a bit of a no-no when you’re sticking your entire hand, y’know.

Truth #2: Speaking of, yeah, that many fingers? Probably not.

Truth #3: Putting a stiletto shoe inside someone’s body? THAT’S A DEALBREAKER, LADIES.

It’s a bombardment of truth bombs. Thank you to “Davey Wavey” for clearing up these shameful misconceptions. Your tireless work will one day result in an adult video that depicts an honest lesbian relationship, assuming the distributor can get the rights to use Melissa Etheridge’s “I’m the Only One.”

Guess Which Late Night Host Bought A Painting Of Bea Arthur Naked For $1.9 Million

Earlier this month, a 1991 painting of The Golden Girls star Bea Arthur, by artist John Currin, sold for $1.9 million at an auction. Why so much money, when she’s not even depicted wearing her Mos Eisley Cantina wardrobe from The Star Wars Holiday Special? Because Arthur’s wearing nothing at all, nothing at all, nothing at all. At first, the identity of the Mona Maude bidder was unknown, but yesterday, word broke that a certain late night host dropped nearly $2 million for something I see every night in my dreams for free. But which one was it?

Will Smith, DJ Jazzy Jeff, And Alfonso Ribiero Reunited To Do The ‘Carlton Dance’

05.25.13 Written by Josh Kurp

The gimmick of Will Smith rapping The Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme should have long since worn off. Not only because he’s done it so many times, but because he’s now the kind of guy who turns down playing a “supporting” character in Django Unchained for a leading role in an M. Night Shyamalan movie. And yet every time he does it, it’s a delight, even when his wiener son Jaden, and his Eraserhead hairdo, is around.

Last night on The Graham Norton Show, Smith was joined by DJ Jazzy Jeff and Alfonso “Carlton” Ribiero to perform “The Fresh Prince” and the infamous “Carlton Dance,” set to the sweet sounds of the Sugarhill Gang’s “Apache (Jump On It).” Please take note of Heather Graham in the background, still dancing like she’s on roller skates.

Watch Jimmy Fallon’s Magnificent ‘Game Of Thrones’ Parody, ‘Game Of Desks’

05.25.13 Written by Josh Kurp

Bummed about the lack of Game of Thrones tomorrow, especially because the next episode is episode nine and episode nine is when good (read: bad) things happen, like “Baelor” and “Blackwater”? Yeah, me too, but Jimmy Fallon’s Game of Desks is the next big thing. Actually, having a dragon butler is the next best thing on the Next Best Things Power Rankings, but Game of Desks is up there, somewhere between winning a lifetime supply of red velvet cake and “Slack Motherf*cker” replacing “The Star-Spangled Banner” as our National Anthem.

But I digress. Game of Desks is a spot-on parody of HBO’s Game of Thrones, with Rockefell as Winterfell, an Iron Throne made out of old cell phones, and Fallon playing many of the show’s characters, including Ned Stark and Khaleesi, while the Roots help out as members of the Night’s Watch (they’re wearing the black? DAS RAYCESS.)

Jay of Leno also makes an appearance, though not as Walder Frey, his GoT spirit animal.

The Guy Who Asked Kate Upton To The Prom Is Going With Model Nina Agdal Instead

05.24.13 Written by Josh Kurp

Back in March, we told you about Jake Davidson, the cocky high school student who asked Kate Upton to the prom. She graciously denied his advances, and most logical people would taken the hint and dropped the “inquiring whether a gorgeous model would attend a high school dance with you” stunt. Teenage boys aren’t logical, though, and Davidson switched his attention from Upton to Nina Agdal…who laughed and threw a martini in his face.
