Pics and Clips of K-Fed On C.S.I. by amit

Guess who’s off the couch, cleaned up, and on TV? C&V’s got exclusive pics and a video of none other than the talent-less Spears leech, K-Fed, on one of CBS’ several versions of the C.S.I. series. According to the network, “Kevin Federline guest stars as Cole Tritt, an arrogant teenager who harasses Nick and Warrick at a crime scene.” Watch K-Fed masterfully act African-American then get rocked by an agent. The hilarious episode airs next Thursday (10/12).

Homeless Pimp My Ride by amit

You’ve seen MTV’s “Pimp My Ride” where show winners receive a completely useless makeover for their dilapidated vehicle. Who knows why “pimping” equals sinking $20,000 to put an aquarium and a flat screen into a car that’s got 253,752 miles, but it is. Regardless, take a look at short, 50 second clip of the homeless version of the popular show.

Dane Cook Bombs on “SNL” by amit

Comedian Dane Cook opened “Saturday Night Live’s” 32nd season with yet another of his sub-par monologues. Cook jumped right in with a joke similar to the “Debbie Downer” skit starring former cast member and resident ugly, Rachel Dratch. He commented that there’s “negative people” out there trying to put down his elating moments with phrases like “I have cancer of the lip” or “Oh yeah, Tommy, he’s got herpes.” Why is the supposedly edgy sketch series using Cook as a “Momma bird” and regurgitating jokes down our throats? I guess the Tina Fey-less writers wanted to give Dane a hand with his spinach fresh material. After the “Downer” joke he segued into a routine about the differences in identifying male and female liars. Moderate laugher and uncovered coughs ensued. Then he went into a bit that’s fast becoming this decade’s “What’s the deal with airports/planes/plane food?” YouTube. Dane’s attempted witticism on the popular video site had him dancing and singing the lyrics “A, colon, F6″ in an effort to imitate a kid performing said song. Crickets were quickly audible. I can’t understand why a comedy show (”SNL”) from a last placed network (~~“PAX”~~ “NBC”) decided to reuse Dane Cook as a host. Tonight’s episode needed to break out of the gates bucking and snorting with pure comedic flare and end with a metaphorical rodeo clown being impaled by the horns of originality. Instead audiences got a recycled stand-up comedian and a case of chronic boredom (the only cure is heroin). At least “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip” shows some level of hope, and hopefully even “30 Rock.” Actually, all three shows should merge into one comedic conglomerate. Well, maybe not. Rachel Dratch could end up as the face of the company.

A Stroll Through South Park by amit

In all of recorded history there has never been an animated show as witty, cutting-edge, and astute to current events and pop culture as “South Park.” Starting its tenth season next week, “South Park” has made millions laugh and think about everything from race, religion, sexuality, talking towels, sexuality of pets, and the Mormons. In addition to the six Emmy nominations and recent George Foster Peabody award, co-creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker wanted to commemorate this crowning achievement in television with a first volume of memorable episodes. “People always ask us, ‘What’s your favorite episode?’ And I say, ‘It’s so hard. It’s like choosing between your children.’ But then I would have no problem choosing between my children. It would be the tall, smart one,” say Matt Stone and Trey Parker. Join Matt and Trey as they take a stroll through the first volume of ten classic episodes that made the world stand still, then puke on the girl they like.
