I accidentally find out Ed Asner’s birthday’s today (80!), which is something of a funny coincidence as my brother and I went too see Up last Wednesday. For those who haven’t seen it yet: Asner’s the voice of grumpy gramps Carl Fredrickson.

My brother and I enjoyed Up; the animated dogs surely added to the gags, and it was very apparent from the beginning that Carl’s really a marshmellow.

DUG ROCKS - bwahahahaaa… (Check out the Dog Pack featurette here.) Russell’s the good kid, growing up under unfortunate circumstances, trying to do the right thing in order to get some of his dad’s attention. And rainbow colored bird Kevin? It could be a single mom or dad; I’m not sure whether it’s gender was revealed. Just the fact it has chicks

What does that cover say about Playboy’s reading audience?

I have to admit I had no idea who Nicole Eggert was, until I saw a couple of pictures. Apparently, she’s joining VH1’s latest offering of Celibrity Fit Club. Yes. Seriously. Check out the funny video here.

I think she looks fine carrying a little bitty extra weight. What do you think?

Wheee-heeeeeeeeee!

Dorothy Snarker managed to crack me up again:

Kate Winslet & Cate Blanchett

God, they totally look like a couple at gay prom.

And Serena Ryder did, too. Here she is entertaining us on Valentine’s Day - or should I say Valentine’s night, cos technically… Nevermind. In the second clip she does a pretty good impression of Duffy. Heh.

And here they are. It’s Kristen Johnston and Kathryn Hahn as Patsy and Edina on the set of the American slaughter of the British treasure Absolutely Fabulous.

Jennifer Saunders (who not only writes it, but plays Edina in the original Ab Fab) is involved and helps to translate Absolutely Fabulous for the American audience…

Things got a little steamy for Marge Simpson on last night’s episode of The Simpsons when she was seen enjoying a very passionate same-sex kiss with one of her female friends (the recurring character named Lindsay Neagle or “The Generic Female TV Executive”). It turns out that the Sapphic smooch was nothing more than the work of husband Homer Simpson’s over-active (and extremely hilarious) imagination:

Marge cast off her conservative image when she kissed a pal in last night’s episode. The blue-bouffanted matriach, voiced by Julie Kavner, plants a smacker on her attractive pal in the living room of her family home in Springfield while husband Homer looks on. But all is not what it seems - it transpires that the smooch is a figment of beer-swigging hubby Homer’s imagination. The lardy mid-lifer had been panicking about the disasters that could befall his family after his insurance expires but soon started day-dreaming about his wife locking lips with another woman. The episode (”How the test was won”) aired in the US last night … The show has been broaching lesbianism more over the last few years and revealed in 2005 that Marge’s disapproving older sister Patty was a closet lesbian, who consequently gets engaged to a female golf player Veronica.

This same-sex kiss wasn’t even the highlight:the episode ended with a dance sequence homage to Footloose. But, props to The Simpsons for continuing to bring the Homer-sexual fun to the series. I’m glad that Patty Bouvier isn’t the only lady in Springfield gettin’ the lesbian lovin’
Edit: AfterEllen wrote an article as well, and published it on March 5th. It also has some footage. Check it out *here*
