Actor Kiefer Sutherland has been charged with assault following a late-night altercation at Manhattan nightclub on Monday. Sutherland surrendered to New York City police Thursday afternoon for questioning about a fashion designer’s claim that the actor head-butted him at a Manhattan nightclub.

So I have a few questions here.  Why does anybody mess with Kiefer after 2am (which is when the alleged headbutt occurred)? How is he able to muster the strength to go to a “gala” while he’s suffering from an incurable biochemical disease?

Lastly, what is Sutherland doing at a limp wristed Costume Institute Gala?  Doesn’t seem like his typical dive bar crowd. 

David Buckner, no relation to Bill, passed out in equally humilating fashion on the Glenn Beck show today.

Baaaaaaaaad Ass

Kanye West has always been all about himself.  Speaking in 3rd person has become common place for Kanye however after the bitch slap he received from SouthPark, Wednesday evening, Kanye has said he’s turning over a new leaf in his life.

West’s love of himself and his work has been almost as integral to his image as his music: Just last year, he told The Associated Press that he was the “voice of this generation.” Also recently, he was quoted as saying his greatest regret was not being able to see himself perform live. Yet, on his blog Thursday, West appeared chastened, and ready to turn over a new leaf.  In typical all-caps mode, he wrote: “SOUTH PARK MURDERED ME LAST NIGHT AND IT’S PRETTY FUNNY. IT HURTS MY FEELINGS BUT WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM SOUTH PARK! I ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON MY EGO THOUGH. HAVING THE CRAZY EGO IS PLAYED OUT IN MY LIFE AND CAREER.”  West said that he started stroking his ego long ago to build up his self esteem — but he now realizes he needs to “GET PAST MYSELF.”

Let’s see if this new self awareness lasts or if we find Kanye back to his old antics.  I don’t think you can shake this kind of crazy.  But that’s just me.

Reminisent of Joaquin Phoenix’s recent and odd interview with David Letterman. Billy Bob picked up right where Joaquin left off - heavy on the Crazy Pills.

In an interview, seen below, the host Jian Ghomeshi struggles getting Billy to respond to basic questions about his band, The Box Masters (cool name), and the interview suffers to the point of hilarity.

UCSD makes a classic gaffe indicative of the socially inept culture of its student body. USCD accidentally sent out acceptance letters to 29k plus applicants who had been rejected for admission.  Attending SDSU I had the distinctive privilege of being in the company of many UCSD Students who hated their school for its sad state of social affairs.  Only at UCSD could band geeks from your High School find their niche as cool kids amongst the throngs of lab nerds who roam the campus like diseased zombies.

Example A

“On Tuesday, the school’s communications office said an e-mail was sent Monday afternoon to all 46,377 students who applied for admission — including the 29,000 rejects — welcoming them to the campus.  A half-hour later, school officials said, they realized their mistake. Almost two hours after the first note went out, a second e-mail was sent, apologizing to 28,889 freshmen applicants for the mistake.” Trust me don’t feel bad they did you a favor.  Stay at your local JC, City, or State College and transfer to a real university and for god sakes enjoy your College years.

Snuggie mania, for better or for much much worse, is here.  The Elmo of this years Holiday season is now being celebrated for the same reasons we all laughed when we first saw the commercials and then contemplated getting one for Mom.  Snuggie Pub Crawls have popped up in New York, Chicago, San Diego, Nashville and now here in San Francisco (I’m sure other cities have also had equally cool Snuggie Crawls).  “Blankets are OK, but they can slip and slide/ and when you need to reach for something, (like a beer) your hands are trapped inside.”

Here’s some pic’s from the NYC Snuggie Crawl.  If you crave more visit www.snuggiepubcrawls.com.

The San Francisco Snuggie pub crawl is the brainchild of Oakland resident Keith Charles F. (he preferred to not give his last name or his occupation - Too many jokes to insert here), 25, and Patricia Prislin, 24, of San Francisco. About a month ago, the pair, who met on Yelp, got to chatting about a similar pub crawl earlier this year in Chicago. (Snuggie pub crawls are a national phenomenon, with forthcoming events in Des Moines, Iowa; Scranton, Pa.; and Burlington, Vt., to name a few, according to Snuggiepubcrawls.com.)

No longer will the Snuggies be relegated to the live at home, Star Wars dorks still trying to bend a spoon with the force.

Just back from vacation…here’s a HIlarious South Park clip. Enjoy.

“Acting legend Clint Eastwood , 79, apparently believes that political correctness has rendered modern society humourless, for he accuses younger generations of spending too much time trying to avoid being offensive. The Dirty Harry star insists that he should be able to tell harmless jokes about nationality without fearing that people may brand him “a racist”. “People have lost their sense of humour. In former times we constantly made jokes about different races. You can only tell them today with one hand over your mouth or you will be insulted as a racist,” the Daily Express quoted him as saying.”

“You know what does bother me?  You know what makes me really sick to my stomach? Is watching you stuff your face with those hotdogs.  Nobody, I mean, nobody puts ketchup on a hotdog.”

Chalk my infatuation up to the absolute hilarity of this show.
