Peace The Spork Out, ‘MadTV’
After 14 seasons and 326 episodes, MadTV the little sketch comedy show that could is bidding adieu and going off the air after this coming Saturday night’s series finale ep:

From the press release: Fred Willard returns to bid a final farewell by hosting “MADtv Gives Back.” Alumni Alex Borstein, Mo Collins, Will Sasso and Debra Wilson Skelton return to recreate their notable MADtv characters as the show takes a look back at the fan-favorite sketches that put this side-splitting sketch comedy series on the map on the series finale episode of MADtv airing Saturday, May 16 (11:00 PM-Midnight ET/PT) on FOX.
Basically running in competition with the long-running Saturday Night Live (picking up where In Living Color left off), there was many a weekend that I felt that MadTV came out on top in terms of hilarity. The show managed to put together THE FUNNIEST music video parodies that I have ever seen (my fave is their video Britney Spears, Me Against Madonna). It will be sad to say goodbye to the show after all these years. After the jump, check out a short video of the cast saying thanks and goodbye to all the fans …

Chris Pine Is A Sexy Nerd
Chris Pine, who is featured as the new younger version of James T. Kirk in JJ Abrams’s new version of Star Trek, was spotted enjoying some alonetime in Silverlake, CA yesterday and was lookin’ mighty fine in the process. Wearing a plain white t and a pair of nerdy, thick black glasses, Chris was deffo lookin’ the poster child for sexy nerd chic:

Oh yes, I approve. Not only can nerds love Chris Pine for his awesome portrayal of Kirk in Trek but even the non-fans can appreciate what he has to offer just by looking at him. He is deffo a hottie. I look forward to many more Chris Pine sightings this Summer … mebbe he can lose the shirt next time?

Kanye West’s New Ladyfriend Shares Her Photos On Twitter
Amber Rose, the shaved headed model who has been seen in the exclusive company of Kanye West in recent weeks, posted a few photos on her official Twitter profile from inside The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala last week where she was lucky enough to party with Madonna, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel. Here are a couple of her fun Twitpics of the gang having fun:

It’s a pose often favoured by inebriated students – a hand grasping a fellow reveller’s behind. But at 50-years of age Madonna should know better. The mother-of-three was pictured striking the unusual pose with fellow guests Amber Rose, the model girlfriend of Kanye West. That were at the star-studded Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Ball earlier this month. Of course, Madonna may have thought the photo would never be viewed by the general public. But Amber Rose was so pleased with it that she posted it on her Twitter page – sharing it with the world. Yesterday Amber’s boyfriend Kanye, also in the Madonna picture, made it clear that he doesn’t share his girlfriend’s passion for the social networking page. In a rant on his blog the rapper chastised those pretending to be him. ‘WHY WOULD I USE TWITTER???’ he wrote ‘I’M TOO BUSY ACTUALLY BUSY BEING CREATIVE MOST OF THE TIME AND IF I’M NOT AND I’M JUST LAYING ON A BEACH I WOULDN’T TELL THE WORLD. EVERYTHING THAT TWITTER OFFERS I NEED LESS OF.’ Perhaps he should share his views with his girlfriend.
Hahaha … meh, who cares if Kanye doesn’t use Twitter, at least his ladyfriend does and she can be the one to share the deets when he chooses not to. I’m surprised that this accompanying report didn’t quote Kanye’s best line from his recent Twitter rant:
HEY TWITTER, TAKE THE SO CALLED KANYE WEST TWITTER DOWN NOW …. WHY? … BECAUSE MY CAPS LOCK KEY IS LOUD!!!!!!!!!
I love it. I may have to start following Amber Rose just in case she shares any more pics like this. It would be funny as hell if she posted a photo of Kanye West lying on the beach … clothed of course.
The Full Set Of Tori Amos Visualettes Has Been Released
Tori Amos’s new album Abnormally Attracted to Sin will not be released here in the US until next Tuesday but the disc is released down under in Australia tomorrow … and in celebration, SameSame.co.au has released the FULL SET of visualette videos that accompany each song on the album. Previously, we’ve been able to see a few of the visualettes HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE on the blog but now we can watch the entire set in full (16 total). Here are a few screencaps from some of the visualettes that can be seen for the first time at the Same Same site:

Tori fans around the world are eagerly awaiting the release of her latest album Abnormally Attracted To Sin. To whet your appetites, Tori’s created a series of short films to accompany each track from the album, with the help of director Christian Lamb. The footage, captured during Amos’ American Doll Posse tour, actually inspired the songs that would become Abnormally Attracted To Sin. In a Same Same exclusive, here they all are in full.
The visualettes for That Guy, Welcome to England, Strong Black Vine and Ophelia can be seen HERE. The visualettes for Fast Horse, Fire to your Plain, Curtain Call and Not Dying Today can be seen HERE. The visualettes for Maybe California, Give, Police Me and Starling can be seen HERE. And the visualettes for 500 Miles, Flavor, Lady in Blue and Abnormally Attracted to Sin can be seen HERE. I am COMPLETELY unable to wait until my copy of the album + DVD arrives so I have watched all of the visualettes and I am so excited by this new music. The songs weave into one another and having accompanying videos with each song really ties the whole thing together. I will deffo need to spend time with Abnormally Attracted to Sin and my headphones once my disc arrives but I am loving what I’m seeing and hearing already. Some of you may be able to hold off and wait on watching these visualettes but I simply could not. For those of you Tori fans like me, enjoy!!
UPDATE: It looks like the site took down all of the visualettes save for two (Welcome to England and Maybe California). I guess they weren’t authorized to post the full set after all. Hope those of you interested were able to watch them before they were taken down.

Levi Alves Meets The Ocean
Here are a few supercute pictures of daddy Matthew McConaughey giving his baby boy Levi Alves his first introduction to the Pacific Ocean at a beach in Malibu, CA yesterday. As you can see, Levi didn’t appear to be too excited to be venturing into the water but his daddy was there to hold his hand:

And as you can see in the second photo, Matthew was also there to almost pull the little guy’s arms out of their sockets … ouch! While I’m sure Matthew thinks swinging around his son by his arms might be fun, I believe it’s actually harmful for the baby’s developing arm joints. In any event, the guys do look like they’re having fun. We know that Matthew is a big fan of water sports (er, surfing, that is) so I’m sure he’s anxious for his son to learn an affinity for the water as well. Baby steps is the way to go … I bet we’ll be seeing these two surfing side-by-side in no time.

Robert Pattinson Celebrates His 23rd Birthday
Robert Pattinson, everyone’s fave vampire that sparkles, gathered up a few of his castmates from The Twilight Saga: New Moon (including Kristen Stewart, Ashley Greene and more) which is currently in production in Vancouver, BC Canada for an impromptu 23rd birthday celebration last night. I understand the crew spent a long 12-hour day filming scenes for the film before meeting up at Global Grill and Satay Bar for the par-tay. Here are a few pics of R. Pattz making his exit from the event after the soiree ended at around 1AM:

While Rob has been working furiously on this new Twilight sequel, he still has a lot of work ahead of him. He just signed on to appear with Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz in a new movie titled Unbound Captives to be directed by first time director and actress Madeline Stowe. Then, of course, there’s the matter of the other Twilight sequel, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, which will go into production at some point later on this year since it is scheduled for a June 2010 release. Bizzy, bizzy, bizzy. I hope Rob had himself a great birthday party with his friends … his downtime looks like it’s gonna be severely limited for a long time to come. He’s smart, tho. Striking while the iron is hot is the only way to stay alive and relevant in Hollywood. He’s only 23, he’s got the rest of his life to sleep. Happy Birthday, Rob!!
