Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
But sometimes it's not. And sometimes a cigarette can't measure up to a cigar, so ad men have to go out of their way to make sure they drive their point home. Make the jump and see if you can pick up on the subtle innuendo of this cigarette ad...
A twentysomething named Matt Smith will be taking over David Tennent's role in the long-running BBC sci-fi series starting in 2010.
Steven Moffat, who takes over from Russell T. Davies as executive producer after the special episodes are concluded, was full of praise for the young actor. "The Doctor is a very special part, and it takes a very special actor to play him. You need to be old and young at the same time, a boffin and an action hero, a cheeky schoolboy and the wise old man of the universe. As soon as Matt walked through the door, and blew us away with a bold and brand new take on the Time Lord, we knew we had our man."
The pilot episode of The United States of Tara, Showtime's new comedy starring Toni Collette as a mother with multiple personalities, is available online for free viewing. I had my reservations about this show, mainly due to its being written and produced by Diablo Cody. Yet it's surprisingly sensitive with its subject matter, features a young gay character, and perhaps most importantly, isn't Juno.
This is... I mean... I can't... Were the 80s really this bad? I didn't think so, but maybe I blocked it from my memory. It's a music video... with Chippendales dancers... and Judy Landers... and the hair... oh, God, the hair... he's not even trying to lip synch... and the cucumber? Why? That's just wrong... The whole thing is like a train wreck. A wonderful, wonderful train wreck. Just... I can't even... it's just... I mean, wow. Just wow.

It's almost time for New Year's Eve, with the parties and the drinking and the ball dropping and the whatever else the alcohol makes you do. If you can remember any of it the next morning, that is! This guy looks like he's having a swell time, doesn't he? Yeah, not so much. That's because of what he's drinking.
I've had me a long, lazy vacation. So what better way to wake up from holiday reverie than with a giant ugly baby.
Sculptor Ron Mueck got his start designing models and puppets, including those in the movie Labyrinth. Since then, he's created a series of hyper-realistic human figures that manage to be both disturbing and beautiful.

Christmas is almost upon us, and regardless of how you celebrate, there's one thing you can be sure of: It's expensive. So how in the world do you intend to pay for all those presents you bought for everyone? Well, this unusually attired couple has the answer. And no, don't worry -- their freakish appearance has nothing to do with what they're selling. Well, not really. It's just creepy to get your attention. Make the jump if it worked!
Who are these guyz? Well, technically, they're Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone, who along with Andy Samberg, have created some of those memorable SNL digital shorts. But before that, they were just two guyz... and they were having a good time.

It's a quick one for you this week. Are you all done with your Christmas shopping? Judging by this photo, it looks like this lucky hubby got his wife one doozy of a present. I mean, just look how happy she looks. Like she's more in love with the gift she found under the tree than the man who gave it to her.
Whatever could this miracle Christmas present be? Make the jump and find out if it'll go on your shopping list this year!
I'm generally not a great fan of most of the programming found on Logo, but one of the more interesting shows they've aired in recent years is Coming Out Stories. Maybe it's the cathartic, often uplifting nature of coming out, or maybe I just have a weakness for complex moments with conservative Asian mothers.
Showtime is developing their own coming-out reality show entitled Way Out, which sounds like it may focus more on the closeted life of individuals in addition to their eventual coming out. This coincides with the development of another gay-themed Showtime series, except that one will probably have more capes in it.
