Gavin Rossdale is going to be on Criminal Minds tonight, whatever that is. It could be anything. It's probably a show for children about the magic of reading. Criminal Minds Rainbow. Anyway, Gavin (I call him Gavin) plays some kind of...goth...vampire...rock star...who might also be a goth vampire murderer? Perfect. It sounds like Gavin's The Wrestler. All his life has been leading up to this one perfect role on a show for children about the magic of reading. And based on these preview clips, it looks like he's going to do fine! Phew! Whenever I see someone like Gavin Rossdale from Glycerine doing a cameo in a movie or a TV show, I always feel like I'm watching a friend who had no prior interest in acting doing a cameo in a movie or a TV show. Like, I get really nervous for them, and then when they do a completely serviceable job reading the three stupid lines they have to read ("The last time I saw her was in the elevator, is she OK?") I'm so proud of them. Not that Gavin Rossdale has any lines in these clips. Criminal Minds isn't stupid! (I don't think! There is no way to know whether or not Criminal Minds is stupid. Not until we figure out what Criminal Minds IS!) Anyway, good luck, Gavin Rossdale! It looks like you're going to be very well-not-good-and-not-even-very-believable-but-at-least-not-embarrassing! So proud!
After the jump, you can be proud of Gavin Rossdale, too!
Here's A Thing With Tommy Wiseau In It• Here is a 10-minute long episode of a web series? Or something? I don't know what this is, but I do know that Tommy Wiseau is in it. You know, for the superfans.
(Please know that this hurts me more than it hurts you.) How did he do it:
(A) He cheated
(B) He's lucky
(C) He's a genius
(D) It is written
(E) None of the above
(F) Because obviously this was a painfully easy question with all of the lifelines at his disposal, because ultimately this is about giving money to charity and making celebrities look good and getting some star power behind this ailing, unwanted show, not about actual knowledge, isn't that right, Patricia Heaton?
G) BLUNTZ
Also, LOL when:
Regis Philbin: You play trivia much? Snoop Dogg: Yeah, yeah.
Snoop Dogg, one of the world's premiere Trivia Heads. He plays trivia MUCH. So much. It's nuts how much trivia Snoop Dogg plays. He was going to call himself Trivia Dogg, but then he didn't, but he still wishes sometimes that he did. On those dark lonely nights of the soul plane. (WOOF.) (You can't fire me, I quit!)

Look, regardless of where you fall on the Family Guy divide, whether you think that its endless, redundant, 3rd-grade pastiche of self-referential fart jokes and unclever non-sequiturs is terrible, or whether you think ahahah me like put this show in my face, there is one thing that I think we can all agree on: no one fucking cares about the politics of Family Guy. If there is one arena of the public discourse in which Family Guy need not even pretend to be competing, it is laughter politics. So will someone please tell that to Seth MacFarlane? From the Guardian UK:
American right-wing talk-show host Rush Limbaugh and former president George Bush's strategist Karl Rove are to play themselves in a forthcoming episode of Fox's animation Family Guy.
In the episode being produced for next season, Brian, the liberal dog of the cartoon's central family, the Griffins, gets bored and frustrated because he feels he no longer has anything to complain about with Barack Obama in the White House, so he becomes a Republican and starts listening to Limbaugh.
Hold on. That part is fine. Family Guy can have whatever type of slime-faced thumb head it wants on there. Have them all! I don't care. But, come on, Seth MacFarlane, with this explanation:
Speaking of dancing, and moving on to genuinely bad ideas, Katie Holmes, whoever that is, appeared on So You Think You Can Dance last night and performed Judy Garland's "Get Happy." You probably missed it because you fell asleep during her pre-dance interview.
Carrie Prejean turned the video camera off, put on some clothes, and stepped out of her house. It was a beautiful day outside. The air smelled like apples, and the late morning light hit the world in just such a...
After watching Death Sentence, a terrible movie starring Kevin Bacon as a father in search of vigilante justice directed by Saw's James Wan, Gabe embarked on The Hunt For The Worst Movie of All Time. This is his sad journey.
If you are a sassy and sarcastic young man in an American sitcom who represents the sitcom writer's desire that a nerdy Jewish teenager can somehow be the desirable romantic hero in this world, then eventually you will get a...
I shouldn't even be here right now. I SHOULD BE GETTING INTO MY COSTUME! If I don't hurry, my facepaint won't be dry before I get to the MOONVIE theater, and everyone will be like "hahah, you look like you're...
Blogging about TV and movies isn't all fun and videogames. Every week, Lindsay or Gabe will be presented with a physical or mental challenge that tests their bravery,patience, and taste.
The Challenge: I had to go on a 3.5 hour bus tour of totally random TV and film locations in New York City. Alone, and wearing a specific ridiculous tshirt. And I had to find someone to take my picture...
Uh. OK. Well, first let's address what this movie did well, like the disappointed parents we are (or at least that I am), recognizing that the negative feedback won't be useful or constructive if it isn't preceded by something positive....
