Veronica Mars Great Casting News

Guess who's going to be on Veronica Mars later this season, according to this exhaustive TWOP interview with Rob Thomas?

Seriously. Guess. 

I'll give you a couple of hints. First, it's going to be awesome, because this guy is hilarious. Second, here is Rob's description of the character he plays:

"…it's going to be such a perfect role for him. He's gonna do it in a British accent, and play the singer/co-songwriter of a band that was big in the mid-'90s, and now he's out on the road solo, and sort of self-loathing."

(No, it is not the wee hobbit from Lost.) 

Also, he starred in a classic teen comedy of the mid-90s, and is pretty much the only person who's done that and managed to redeem himself later. 

For your final hint… um… once, in a movie, he broke up with a girl by saying "You taste like a burger. I don't like you anymore."

Is that too many hints?

The More You Know: Ikea edition

It's between the Lack and the Oppli.  Any thoughts? 

  • Rosie's taking on American Idol, saying the show's gone too far with their mean-spirited opening episodes.  And she calls out Paula as a big drunkie.
  • Lauren Ambrose, Claire from Six Feet Under, had a baby!  How weird is that? 
  • Fallout from Isaiah Washington's behavior continues.  Neil Patrick Harris wags his finger.  GLAAD wants to have a heart-to-heart
  • MSNBC gives Medium way too much credit
  • Like commercials in front of movies and the current president, Rachael Ray is something we're just going to have to learn to live with
  • Judge Tom on Top Chef says he wanted to disqualify all of the contestants except Marcel after their behavior on the last episode.  Shut up, Judge Tom.  He's so grumpy all the time.

Make other people make your content!

Hey!  I just found a fun Web site called SuperDeluxe.com that has some actually funny video clips on it.  Made by (and for?) professional comedians.  My girlfriend Maria Bamford has some stuff up there as does Brad Neely, the genius behind the George Washington music video.

Here's a really funny short by a favorite comedian of mine, Chelsea Peretti.  Expect more clips from this site as I continue to have a lack of sassy quips to make about Grey's Anatomy.
