Say goodbye to Joan Beamin and Barri Martin. After two seasons the genius programming execs at Oxygen have decided to cancel their best show (read: their only watchable show), Campus Ladies. In the latest season the always amusing Campus Ladies had hit its stride with tighter yet more complex narrative arcs, funnier set-ups, a beefed up role for the already strong supporting cast of Amir Talai, Derek Carter and Miranda Kent, and a constant slew...

Knute, the polar bear cub rescued from death at the Berlin Zoo after his mother rejected him, is the cutest thing I have ever seen in my entire life. He is adorable I could just watch him run around and play for hours. Right around 3:52 of this video I just want to die from a cute overload. Can you believe animal rights activists want to kill him and rob the world of this much...

Los Angeles' own multicultural alternative rock collective Ozomatli recently held a video contest inviting fans to create their own video for "City of Angels." The band offered live video footage and an MP3 of the song on their Web site, then basically told their fan base to go wild. The band selected their top three videos -- congrats to Matthew Johnston, Micaela Torrez and Richard Lopez -- and now it's up to fans to vote...

Today's 4:20 film is a double whammy, beginning with the intro from a sketch on the British version of Comic Relief. The bit features Matt Lucas of Little Britain playing his trashy teenybopper character, Vicky Pollard, and supermodel Kate Moss playing Vicky's slutty sister, Katie. (Embedding of the full clip was forbidden, but you can see it by clicking here.)...

"When I'm walking and he sees other dog he right away he jump on my vagina because he get so crazy." I have no idea if this is for real, but here's another animal-themed midnight movie for your viewing pleasure only this time, it's the dog owner who's acting bizarre....

This is what they mean when they talk about the glory of the animal kingdom, right? I can't believe I've watched this three times! Horny Odie The Wonder Dog - Click Here for more great videos and pictures!...

Back in January, SXSW launched a contest looking for the scariest, freakiest movie trailers. In honor of Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino's upcoming movie Grindhouse, amateur filmmakers were invited create their own grindhouse trailers. The best submissions were presented at the festival a couple of weeks ago by Rodriguez. Here's one that I like, Hobo with a Shotgun. Simple, direct and hilarious. Plus, it delivers what it promises....

Grindhouse The week kicks off with a pair of rarely screened gems of black 1970s cinema, Brotherhood of Death about a group of black Vietnam vets who fight back against the Ku Klux Klan, and Johnny Tough, a coming-of-age movie about a troublesome teenager. That's followed by a dose of Italian horror, Autopsy and Eyeball. Then it's a trio of bizarre wonders: Coonskin, a Ralph Bakshi-directed animated blaxploitation spoof about a trio of animals (Philip...

Thank goodness documentarian Ken Burns has shifted his focus away from serious (read: B-O-R-I-N-G) topics like the Civil War, baseball and jazz and shifted it towards topics of true national importance such as: who should Jim date on The Office? (Personally, I think the choice obvious. Pam is beige and spineless. She deserves that big, dumb loser ex-fiancee of hers. Not only is Karen 10 times hotter than Pam, Karen actually WANTS to be with...

In honor of SXSW, let today's 4:20 video serve as a warning about the dark side of rock and/or roll. There's shocking and dangerous new musical trend that's sweeping today's youth. The kids are calling it "emo"... but is emo too emotional for your teen????!!!!!! What you might think of as another harmless indie rock subculture with a penchant for maudlin lyrics and plaintive singing, is in actuality a dangerous new lifestyle complete with its...
