Coachella's 2013 All-Hologram Lineup

Since Tupac's hologram one-upped the Nat "King" Cole duets of the early 1990s and hit the stage this past weekend at Coachella, naturally the web has given rise to a spoof poster detailing an imagined all-hologram lineup. more ›

SNL Pokes Fun at Us: 'The Californians' Are White Wine-Guzzling, Dizzy Blondes Obsessed With Directions

Last night SNL took aim at Los Angeles with its soap opera spoof "The Californians." It poked light fun at the stereotypical vain, dizzy blondes who guzzle white wine, invite guests to sit in Mexican country-style chairs and won't stop talking about how to avoid traffic or which Coffee Bean offers validation. more ›

Of Course: Angelina Jolie's Right Leg Gets Its Own Twitter Account [UPDATED]

Of Course: Angelina Jolie's Right Leg Gets Its Own Twitter Account [UPDATED]

It was everywhere last night, and people can't seem to stop talking about it. No, not Jennifer Lopez's possible nip-slip. We're talking about Angelina Jolie's right leg, sticking right out of that made-for-it slit in her gown as she posed on the red carpet and stood onstage at Sunday's 84th Annual Academy Awards. more ›

Bieber Baby Backlash: "(It's Not My) Baby" Spoof

Bieber Baby Backlash: "(It's Not My) Baby" Spoof

Is Justin Bieber really a fan's baby daddy? Mariah Yeater says yes, and the Biebs says... well, he'd rather focus on music and not the gossip. Okay, fine. So it's no wonder Jimmy Fallon took a musical approach to the Bieber Baby Mama Drama last night, and came up with this spoof song "(It's Not My) Baby." more ›

Local Ladies Spoof 'Real Housewives' to Raise Money

Local Ladies Spoof 'Real Housewives' to Raise Money

We all know that the Real Housewives franchise is very serious business. But even epic, nation-changing conflict can sometimes be fodder for humor. The Huffington Post reports that six ladies from Westchester, CA put together a video called "Real Housewives of Westchester" (get it?), which spoofs the real "Real Housewives." more ›

We Love Oprah Like Oprah's Audience Loves Free Things

We Love Oprah Like Oprah's Audience Loves Free Things

At 3 p.m. local time today, the last hour of a 25-year-journey begins, as Oprah Winfrey ends her self-titled afternoon talk show. While this super special last season has pulled out all the stops and is playing every schmaltzy, tear-duct activating card in the producers' hands, some of the best memories of Oprah's show are the ones that evoke smiles, and, more importantly laughter. more ›

"(Ching, Chong) It Means I Love You"

"(Ching, Chong) It Means I Love You"

The name Alexandra Wallace has become synonymous with a number of things in the past couple of weeks: "racists rants," "cleavage shot," "fame whore," and "the power of viral media," among them. The now-former UCLA Poli-Sci major has inspired not just discussion, though, but also response in the same medium she used to share her...thoughts...on multiculturalism in the academic environment: Video. more ›

Oh, No... Not "Friday." Don't Worry, Tomorrow is Saturday!

Oh, No... Not "Friday." Don't Worry, Tomorrow is Saturday!

There's a lot of valuable, current information to be learned from "singer" Rebecca Black, who is either a brilliantly masterminded spoof of the YouTube Bieber fame machine, or a sadly deluded young lady with a copy of Garage Band. For example, guys, she is absolutely right: Yesterday was Thursday, today is Friday, tomorrow is Saturday, and after that comes Sunday. Damn, girl...you are at the top of the class you are cruising towards in that sweet ride with your friends. more ›

Video: Whatever You Need, You'll Find it in Canoga Park

Your stolen car (or just its parts), friendly bums to chat with at bus stops, all kinds of adult entertainment, drugs, and a school whose mascot is toting a gun--you'll find it in the San Fernando Valley community of Canoga Park. more ›

Midnight Movie: Perez's Hiltoon is Funny or...?

They hang out at House of Pies, tend to celebs (as in finding paparazzi to snap Rumer Willis at Starbucks or serve dog penis to Tom Cruise and "family" at the Ivy), and gobble vitamin concoctions made with questionable chemicals. It's episode 2 of a Perez Hilton production (queue eye roll?) of a cartoon by Michael Mouris of milkfat.com called "Assisted Living." While some of the jokes seem tailor-made for locals only, it's more a question of if the jokes seem tailor-made for, well...laughter. It's campy and colorful and might go over better if you've been hitting the bong or the bottle. But it's the middle of the night, so chances are... more ›

Video: Garcetti Goes Nutty, and You Can Too!

'A-ma-zing!' Huell Howser Plays Himself on Last Night's <em>Simpsons</em>

'A-ma-zing!' Huell Howser Plays Himself on Last Night's Simpsons

Beloved California public broadcasting icon Huell Howser played--and spoofed--himself on last night's The Simpsons. The easily awed Midwestern transplant is seen on a TV show about the making of candy, which at first delights, then disgusts Homer and Lisa. While we can't say that no one outside of California knows who Howser is, it's likely the cameo will only tickle locals who have seen Howser marvel over all manner of landmark, machine, or quirky Californian on his various PBS shows. Of course, if you want to see Huell Howser in a whole other light, there is of course this video... more ›

University of California to Launch $0 Tuition Program, Says Spoofed Press Release

A press release from the University of California today announced a new revolutionary program wherein tuition will be free. Pretty cool, right? Too bad it's a fake press release from a fake website mocking University President Mark G. Yudof and the Regents. Here's a fun little sample: more ›

Video of the Day:  OctoMom Giving Birth

Video of the Day: OctoMom Giving Birth

Oh, please...like we'd actually have (and show) the real video of Whittier's Nadya Suleman, aka OctoMom, giving birth to her eight babies. But she is looking for a buyer for her labor room video (hey, girl's gotta eat...and feed her 14 children) for the tidy sum of $1 million. Since they don't have the real thing (phew!) Jimmy Kimmel instead offers his version of Suleman's delivery in this quick and silly clip. more ›

The Neighborhood Project: Critter Country

The Neighborhood Project: Critter Country

Critter Country is a breath of fresh county air in the hectic, fast-paced park life. Unfortunately, bucolic is sometimes mistaken for backwards. Many people consider Critter Country to be a "hillbilly" neighborhood inhabited by evil foxes and bears with droopy drawers. The boundaries between Frontierland and Critter Country are somewhat blurry, and Critter Country is often considered the red-headed step-child of Frontierland. The influx of a younger, hipper crowd in recent years from The Hundred Acre Wood has contributed to gentrification in the once-sleepy country berg. more ›
