for your consideration for awesomenessnessness…

Dan Castellaneta as Aaron Spelling

sadly, the two ‘unauthorized’ movies starring him on Lifetime, weren’t so awesome, cause they have about as much drama as an episode of Hey Dude

When Aaron Spelling Ruled Television: An Oral History of Entertainment’s Prolific, Populist Producer

WAIT, JOE E TATA (aka Nat from 90210’s The Peach Pit) was on TV’s BATMAN!??!?!?!?!

YES!

The actor came face-to-face with Batman (Adam West) and his sidekick Robin (Burt Ward) for the first time in the two-part episode ‘The Ring of Wax’ and ‘Give ‘em The Axe,’ starring Frank Gorshin as the Riddler. There is a scene in which the Riddler and one of his henchmen, Tallow (Tata), steal the Batmobile. The director was surprised when the car kept going even after he yelled, ‘Cut!’ Tata and Gorshin never left the studio lot but they had fun just the same [more]

juss like the first UK group!

– Blind man marries Tori Spelling. Somewhere David Silver breathes a sigh of relief and Screech Powers is contemplating suicide.

– This is where the world’s finest vaginas go.

– Is this guy the Lenny Bruce of Winnebagos? [Link via Posh & Beckser]

– May be old news, but it was just brought to my attention that picking your nose and eating it may make you healthier. With this and french fries being considered a fresh veggie, its only a matter of months before Norman Chad’s Tour de Couch becomes a reality. [Link via Senor Gombergos]

– Who knew that David Koresh was such bad-a$$? [Link via RayKwan the Chef vs Meth vs Chef Boyardee]

– Jacky White dropped by TheWhiteStripes.net for a lil Q & A. Word is that they may head back into the studio this summer, he’s never gonna repair his mangled hand, there’ll be a CD release of all their B-sides, Fritz Lang rocks, the jihad on the documentarian is still in effect, Peru may be in the cards, and Rene Zellweger puckers her lips too dang much. Read the whole transcript here.

– Related to Genghis Khan? Then you can get yerself some free eats!! And if yer related to Chaka Khan, you can get, er, um, uh, ah, nothing!

– Fish can be so heteroflexible sometimes.

– Go ahead, Rate My Implants. [NSFW Link via Tim “Fudger” Altie]

– One of the most umcredible/hands-on museums in the world, The American Museum of the Moving Image has assembled quite an impressive backlog of Presidential campaign commercials. Boy do the ones wees got today suck asthma. I mean, czech out this Nixon anti-Hubert Humphrey spot… it looks like an episode of The Prisoner. F-in mint.

– Fattyboy Slim Jim’s Palookaville drops Doc October 5th. I already know the collaboration with Damon Albarn is going to be more money than The Money Train.

– Fellow Jew Yorkers, enter to win passes to The Bourne Supremacy or some movie that might as well be called JuJu Bees.

– Finally, what’s going to be the worst date movie since my friend Joel took a gal to see Kevin Bacon molest kids in Sleepers? This one.
