Look, we can sit here all day talking about how the properties of "feminine wash" and the properties of shampoo are not actually that different, because industrialized hygiene products are all variations on the same combination of perfumed oils and synthetic fats. We can sit here all day and use our college brains to talk about how it is ridiculous to be grossed out by any kind of soap just because of its intended use since it is still just soap! It's not like they pre-test the feminine wash on an actual vagina before bottling it and sending it out to stores. We could sit here all day and tell ourselves that in reality this is just not that good of a prank because it seems incredibly childish and we're adults now and adults don't have time for childish things. Or we could just admit that Wesley got burnt. YA BURNT, WES! (Via BuzzFeed.)
[Ed. note: it is with great excitement and enthusiasm that I introduce to you the newest member to the Videogum family, Mary H.K. Choi. She is the founder and former Editor-in-Chief of Missbehave magazine and currently writes for TheAwl. She will be bringing her love of superhero comic books and action movies to bear on things that are neither superhero comics nor action movies. Say hi, monsters.]
In this, the hotly anticipated A&E season premiere of The Five Lives of Criss Angel Mindfreak, Christopher Nicholas Sarantakos aka Criss Angel, a master illusionist and escapologist hailing from Long Island, New York, will attempt a transposition. Basically he'll disappear from one spot and before any of us can feel a hint of relief that this time he's really gone will show up in another, indicating his reappearance from a parallel universe of rampant awesomeness by yelling at us triumphantly *fist pump, fist pump* to yell at him fawningly.
FINALLY! Jeff Goldblum has made countless appearances on late night talk shows since a series of fan-created slowed-down videos of his Mac commercials and other gigs became famous as the "Drunk Goldblum" internet meme, yet no host has ever bothered to ask him about it until now. In the second half of Jeff's interview with Jimmy Fallon on Friday, Fallon mentioned the meme, showed one of the most famous videos (a Mac ad) and showed Goldblum a new "Drunk Goldblum" video the show had created from a skit he did earlier on the show. Jeff seems to be a good sport about it, though it would have been a little more fun if he had confessed to absolutely loving the meme or something. But it's still a major addition to Fallon's cred as "the late night host who knows what an 'internet' is."
Watching idiots get tased is no longer enough entertainment: now we need idiots getting tased after inhaling helium, so they sound even more like scared pussies. I'm starting to think there might be some kind of central, organized thinktank tasked with coming up with stupid, potentially dangerous pranks for a certain kind of white male between the ages of 15 and 23 for the purpose of putting them on YouTube so the rest of us can feel like we're at least doing something slightly better with the short time we have here on earth, and I think I'm uniquely qualified to make suggestions for future stupid-shit mashups like the one above, like, can they do one that combines helium, tasing, salvia, AND syrup of ipecac? Thank you. (Also, I guess that "thinktank" was called "Jackass.)
Last night, Late Night With Jimmy Fallon got a lot further in their quest to reunite the cast of Saved By The Bell when Mark-Paul Gosselaar appeared in character as "Zack Morris" and updated Jimmy on his fabulous life in Hollywood, where he moved after school to be an actor with his two best friends and high school principal: "I had to change my name to Mark-Paul Gosselaar because there was already a Zack Morris in SAG." Zack, as Mark-Paul, now stars on the show Raising The Bar, which he managed to fully promote without ever dropping character. Oh, also? Turns out Zack and Kelly Kapowski were married, but "Things got pretty rough after we split up. Kelly moved to a different zip code." Zack even plays a Zack Attack song backed up by The Roots. Who knew Mark-Paul Gosselaar was a such a good sport/funny guy?
So 35 minutes ago Sarah Palin twittered "Getting ready to tape shout-out for our awesome US troops serving overseas! Will be on 'Colbert Report' next month, broadcast from Iraq..." So that is going to happen. Let's assume the "..." at the end means "in bed."
Update: wait a second, isn't Stephen's trip location still SECRET and just "the Persian Gulf"? Unless Stephen's announced that it's going to be Iraq already, Sarah Palin might have just blown his cover! Developing...
Update 2: Two sources confirm that Stephen Colbert's trip is, so far, officially to "The Persian Gulf," though there are hints from outside sources that it's Iraq (also, duh, it's definitely Iraq). But Sarah Palin still blew his cover, and she was almost Vice President. That's So Sarah!
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.

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....
