In case you didn’t catch it yesterday, in one of live television’s more uncomfortable moments, on the mid-morning edition of “The Today Show,” noted drunkard Kathie Lee Gifford asked Martin Short how his wife is and then proceeded to talk about what a wonderful marriage they have. The problem? Martin Short’s wife died of ovarian cancer two years ago. Credit Short, however, for not making it an issue. The awkwardness arrives around 3:15 on the above video. Gifford apologized after the show.

“James Franco Finally Weighs In On ‘Girls’”
Jesus, FINALLY! I was wondering how long it was going to take for James Franco to express his opinion about Girls. I feared never! Will the world explode? Will it? WILL IT??
As much as I dig HBO’s “Girls,”
Let it be known that henceforth your arguments are invalid, sir.
The proper response here is “you like the worst things, Dustin.”
Girls is awesome. The completely unsubstantiated hate towards it has been amusing as hell.
It’s made me laugh like, maybe twice. Number of times I’ve cringed, innumerable.
I’d say that the unsubstantiated hate it’s received has made me glad I haven’t been back since the first three episodes. From everything I’ve read, the characters have only become more aggravating.
Mere words cannot express how much I love that Street Fighter gif.
That whole gallery was fabulous.
I wanted to see Marnie naked then realized she is the daughter of Brian Williams. Of NBC. Show still owes me for seeing Peter Scolari’s full monty last episode. *Shudders*
Brian Williams is fucking awesome. I would be honored to be his son-in-law.
Wait, wasn’t Charlize Theron one spot behind Kristen Stewart on that Maxim thing? Or maybe that wasn’t the “official” list, because it was fan voted or w/e.
They ranked her higher as viral marketing for Snow White. Fairest in the land and all that
“as much as James Franco annoys the ever-living piss out of me”
Not a fan of getting dicknosed huh?
Martin Short is just great. Also, I don’t understand the Coldplay hate. It made sense when they were huge and “Clocks” was ubiquitous, but they’re not at that level anymore, so the hate seems passé.
That Franco piece was bullshit. She’s gotten jobs. The show is about her navigating that shitty aimless period. The whole point of it is her being hard on herself, it bugs me that everyones hate seems to stem from the overt criticisms of herself she’s already making. Also, Louis CK likes Girls as much as I do and you can all suck my dick if you don’t like Louis CK.
Liking Louis doesn’t obligate me to like everything Louis likes. But I do like Girls anyway, despite my dislike of Hannah and Jessa.
