Ups and Downs
If I have to hear Chris Berman say one more annoying thing on ESPN, I'm going to hit the roof. People don't say "hit the roof" a lot anymore, but if someone actually took the time to climb the house and hit the roof, you'd know they were upset. Admit it.

Ok, so they are doing the Lilith Fair again, and the good news is that Cat Power will be there and she is hot as could be. Did you get that?

Look, if the Chinese were going to rename parts of their natural landscape after a movie, they could have picked something more worthy than "Avatar." Something like "Pooty Tang" or "Sophie's Choice." Comments [3]

Holy hell, could the Golden Globes have sucked any worse? "Avatar"? Really, "Avatar"?? Someone needs to be fired; or at the very least kicked really hard.
