What You Waiting For?
Gwen's new album hits today.
Get your ass to the store and buy it. And while you're there, pick up U2's new album too.
Can you tell that I'm so excited to see these two artists back in the spotlight? Finally, U2 can show all these young "rock" and "punk" bands what it truly means to be a rock band. And Gwen can show all these wannabe girl acts how it's done.
ETA: Great Spin article on why U2 is the Greatest Rock Band today. And further evidence that I need to move to NYC.

One. Two. Three. Fourteen!
Saturday Night Live -- Luke Wilson/U2
- Was Luke Wilson in this episode? Because I didn't notice. This episode was all about U2. First of all, they performed 3 songs. Second of all, Bono gave some woman in the front row a lap dance. Third, Bono totally embarrassed Poehler and sent the cast in fits. Fourth, they just kept playing.
- Poehler and Maya doing Anna Nicole Smith and Donna Ross in the American Trainwreck Awards sketch was awesome. How Maya didn't lose it when Poehler kept pulling the wig off is beyond me.
- I hate to admit it, but I totally ignore my cleaning lady when she comes into my office to take out the trash. I'm Poehler: Head down, looking at her out of the corner of my eye, and kindly saying "Thank you" as she leaves. I don't do it because I'm rude. I do it because I don't think she's comfortable with the fact that she's taking out my trash, and I don't feel comfortable that I'm 26 and someone takes out my trash.
- Did I mention U2?
** Fey and Poehler will be on Leno on November 30th.
NASCAR -- Ford 400
- Dudes. Kurt Busch finished 4th and clinched the Nextel Cup despite LOSING A WHEEL! His wheel came flying off. And he had a shitty pit stop. And I know I lost you all at "NASCAR".
Arrested Development
- Will Artest makes me laugh. Hard. "Cirsumvrent."
Desperate Housewives
- Haven't watched it, so stay tuned.
Alias Season 4 Promo
- I'm still smiling.

TWO HOURS!!!
J.J. Abrams: Turning Brawny Action Drama Into Sensitive Soap Opera
Dear J.J.,
We were meant to be. I know that. But sometimes, you do things that are so incomprehesible (Lauren Vaughn), so shocking (Todd Mulcahy) and so annoying (destroying Noel's character), that I hate you. I swear you off. I promise never to indulge your childish behavior.
And then you make a promo for Season 4 of Alias. And you air it during "Desperate Housewives". And you make it wonderful. And in that 30 seconds you remind me why I love you. And then you tell me that you're going to make the season premiere of Alias two hours long. And that is when it becomes crystal clear to me that I was, am, and forever will be, your bitch.
xoxoxoxo
Me.
