Bratt, who vacated the mothership a decade ago, will shoot his one-episode comeback next month. I’m told the actor will figure heavily in a story involving S. Epatha Merkerson’s Van Buren.

whatevernevermind:
The videos are amazing to watch.
I would watch these, but there’s something that really squicks me out about giving Nirvana-related pageviews to a site with features like “That’s A Serious Butt” and “Hair Bra Side Boob.” YMMV, of course!

You should read Alex’s whole post, because it talks about how most peoples’ hands aren’t clean when it comes to taking freebies, despite codes of ethics proclaiming lily-whiteness. But I really think his kicker is important (fear of class and journalism talk!)

Gossip Cop is fucking ridiculous. “(Gossip mill) says (famous person) did something embarrassing! Well, we asked (famous person’s) PR person and they said it’s not true! SO THERE, YOU LYING LIAR! SCORE ONE FOR GOSSIP COP!” Even better is when they credit an anonymous source for debunking an anonymous source. Obviously I wouldn’t give a shit if not for my rumor-mongering job, but...

So a restaurant in Chicago has opened… called Pitchfork. Yes, really. I decided to have a little fun with this, because within 10 seconds of hearing this news I knew that the jokes were going to come fast and furious. So! Anyone who sends an @-reply to Idolator with their best Pitchfork Restaurant-related joke is entered in a CONTEST. The five best 140-character-ers (as determined by me and...

If I actually charged people for that stuff, I’m not sure I could sleep at night.
No. You are right. And ethical! I just bristle when I see people who aren’t qualified (cough) loftily throwing around dumb titles… and other people who are less in the know falling for it.

A certain Technicolor-haired Internet scourge has blocked me on Twitter, despite me a) not following him and b) never @-ing him in my life. LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE GOT A LITTLE HURT BY THE TRUTH BEING THROWN DOWN ON HIM IN THE GUARDIAN

Instead of sitting tight while Criminal Intent writers transition Jeff Goldblum’s ivory-tickling, ethnic food loving, matinee-catching detective (and whichever actor they recast as his straight partner) as the program’s top bananas, Goren/Eames fans are banding together.
