    My favorite thing about John and Edward (besides that they are the worst things ever) are that Britain basically tuned out on Sanjaya and in doing so rewarded Simon Cowell for it by allowing him to live through the horrifying event again twice over. I think this is absolutely appropriate as well as being sadistic on a national level and I support the errant behavior of the British voting public. #brangelina

    I realize I'm the only person in history ever to have this thought, but for some reason I think Bai Ling can do no wrong, while Bjork is just flat-out embarrassing.

    I know; I don't know what's become of me either. And it's even worse than you think: I also root openly for the Hipster Grifter. #brangelina

    @skahammer: ..That's because you haven't yet had Bjork explain to you how a TV set operates! Draw your chair close to the crackling fire, for "it is Christmas time in Iceland.."

    @snugbug: I don't know, that video looks like it was made a while ago. Is that Bjork just being eccentric, or was that actually informative for Icelanders at the time? #brangelina

    @snugbug: If you put some jazzy piano behind that video, it's like Bjork is taking a Mister Rogers' Neighborhood-style tour of the inner workings of a TV (which makes sense, because Bjork lives in the Land of Make-Believe). Not nearly as informative, though. #brangelina

    @goetz: But her mind works on a poetic, not logical, level! I love that she approaches ordinary inanimate objects with such.. curiosity.

    What I love even more is that we're collectively ignoring Brangelina and Madonna & focusing on Bjork and Bai Ling. Good job, @all. #brangelina

    @Caius: You make a very compelling argument for non sequiturs. But Newt Gingrich doesn't actually eat pizza with a spoon.

    And @snugbug: Dear God, that TV clip is nine kinds of fermented awesome. I may have been wrong about Bjork after all.

    @just assign me a random number: Iceland is a highly developed country with a 100 percent literacy rate. Pretty sure Icelanders were familiar with television by the late '80s, when this video was shot. #brangelina

    David Beckham's so worried that his children will be America-fied that he makes them watch BBC. Isn't that child abuse?

    No, it is not child abuse. I'd rather be watching the likes of Doctor Who, Being Human, or Merlin than Cougar Town, Everybody Hates Chris, or Melrose Place.

    That second item confused me until I realized you were talking about my dear friend WILLIAM Joel. I'm terribly sad to hear that he's upset, but he should know that Europeans are, in fact, far superior to Americans. Now, if you'll please excuse me, I have a chicken to cook.

    @LittleSecrets: The graveyards of Europe are littered with the bodies of those who thought Europeans are superior to Americans.

    Truth is, most of the Europeans with the desire and talent to make a better world for themselves and their children are Americans now.

    @Swifter: I was making fun of Gwyneth Paltrow, but apparently I struck a nerve. For the record, I'm not one to posit any kind of ethnic supremacy, and even if I were, I doubt I'd do it in the comments of a gossip round-up.

    She exudes all sorts of creepiness. I liked her better before they removed her thetans or whatever.

    Also, thanks for bowing to an audience of no one. I hate when pre-taped segments try to get away with that.

    Katie Holmes did not dance -- when she wasn't standing still, she just struck a series of poses. Maybe it did get Tom Cruise excited, but then wouldn't he have more likely used it on one of guys who did the real dancing in that number?

    If Mr. Butler is afraid of losing his abs, perhaps he should contact the guys who CGI'd them onto him in the first place for "300". It's like the least painful cosmetic surgery ever.
