Buttercake Bakery
Ever since we watched SNL's Andy Samberg and Chris Parnell mack on some cupcakes in Lazy Sunday, it seems that the whole country has gone cupcake crazy. The sugary fad has been going strong for a few years now. Here in LA, loads of cupcake establishments continue offering the happy little cakes. Many will debate whether Sprinkles, Toast, Joan's on Third, Dainties or Leda's have the best cupcakes. Lately it seems like everytime I...

The Hills Have Ewwwwwwws
6:51 - Some chick and some dude from The Hills grace us with their presence. Why are they here? Oh right, they're on a show that's on MTV. Notice the cross-promotion.

Daily Blarrrgh: YouTube Kicks Off Sketchies Contest
Andy Samberg has to be one of the luckiest guys alive. Look at that goofball. Between trysting with starlets like Natalie Portman and Kirsten Dunst, his day job includes making shorts like "Lazy Sunday" at Saturday Night Live. And it all started with video sketches Samberg and his Lonely Island cohorts posted on the Web. (The other two guys got writing gigs on SNL.) So it’s fitting that Samberg is helping kick off YouTube Sketchies,...

Lazy Sunday
Okay, so now that The Chronic (what?!) -cles of Narnia Rap has jumped the shark and even your crazy uncle joe knows that Google Maps is the best (true that double true) and your kid sister is walking around in her Crazy Delicious tee and has skinned her myspace page with Andy Samberg pics (even though she really crushes on Chris Parnell but, ohmigod, none of her friends are going to understand) and you've got the free download on your ipod but haven't watched it not even once, it is time to assert your LA hipster kung-fu skills by going retro and obscure on folks.
