Did you watch Rock of Love 2 this year? Of course you did. Pathetic. I did, too. The show is over, and there’ll probably be a third season. So did you pull for Ambre? Daisy? Destiney? A different contestant? It matters not. What matters is the cat fight that took place during Sunday’s reunion show (Heather assaulted Daisy), and while we unfortunately have neither the time nor patience to work up a good Venn diagram to better categorize our contestants for your educated wager, we do still wish to open the books and place our bets on who would’ve won that fight, had it run its course. We’re talking real Jerry Springer stripper fisticuff action here. You can read all about the bout here if you missed the program, but really, you probably need only turn on VH1 at any given time in the next couple of weeks in order to catch a rebroadcast (hint: it’s on right now). Incidentally, the VH1 blog links beneath this poll are priceless if you watched any portion of the show whatsoever. Do give them a look.

We would not have seen this coming in a million - scratch that! bajillion - years, but the Pipettes - you remember them, right? Three young girls… polka dots… the color pink… cheeky, British, 60s schtick… bad Greased Lightning acid flashback… Any of this ringing a bell? … No?… - The Pipettes have announced a major change in lineup on their myspace blog and official site. (Note: Announcement is rickroll-inclusive.) Apparently, two out of the three Pipettes are now gone and have already been replaced! RiotBecki and Rosay are out; Ani and Anna are in. (Again: RiotBecki and Rosay are out; Ani and Anna are in.) Pipettes! Alas! It seems only yesterday we saw them at South by Southwest 2007, mere moments before Pete Townshend took to the stage. It seems only yesterday I wailed, “Dammit Victor I can’t believe you actually wanted to see this bullshit.” It seems only yesterday agent Steve Ferguson was advising the world of the group’s potential longevity:

Some might dismiss the group as a novelty. Paradigm’s Steve Ferguson, the band’s agent, said anyone who’s quick to write The Pipettes off should think again.

Gary Busey may have had no role to support at the Kodak Theatre last night, but he had no problem securing an inordinate amount of press this morning thanks in no small part to an awkward, yet Buseyly sincere, double-kiss to Jennifer Garner’s (admittedly kiss-fetching) neck on the red carpet. Did you miss the clip? It’s here in all its cringe-inducing glory, or you can just read about it in results 1 - 10 of about 14,300 for gary busey red carpet (0.74 seconds) and/or results 1 - 10 of about 33,700 for gary busey jennifer garner (0.17 seconds).

The question is begged.

Love, hate or have no feelings whatsoever about something you’ve seen on Operacion Repo? Believe it or not, you’re not alone. Take your concerns straight to the comment section on this page where Sonia herself (aka DEMON AZAZEL) will respond to your love, hatred or general ambivalence in record time.

This not a full recap like our Season 3 finale piece, but just some collected moments from the episode, unedited and jotted down in real time. –Ed.

–Hurley has a vision of Charlie while in a police interrogation room. Without going into all the details, Charlie’s hand has written on it, “They Need You.” This is a particularly problematic vision as it contains imagery that Hurley did not personally witness and (I think) marks the first vision where the action is pure fantasy and physically impossible to stage. (As opposed to merely planting a horse on the island or the appearance of someone resembling a dead loved one.) More on this below.

–Jack is drinking, but, hey, who doesn’t start the day off with a screwdriver or two? On the plus side, he has upgraded from Dharma brand vodka though. He does not have the bushman beard of the Season 3 finale yet, so that suggests this flash-forward predates the season 3 flash-forward. So this flash-forward would in fact be a flash-back if we were in the previous flash-forward timeline. Got that?

Anyone (not) catch the multiple instances of Apple product placement on last night’s new episode of House M.D.? A new high–or low, depending on your take–was reached. But lest you think it gratuitous, the props in question–an iPhone, a MacBook Pro and a MacBook (Or were they older Powerbook and iBook models?–Help me out here, Engadget or Gizmodo)–were woven into the plot fairly deftly: House steals James’s iPhone (James being the obvious character choice for iPhone ownership) and wraps it as a gift to himself, which he opens in front of his team with an aim to get the to raise the stakes of their Secret Santa; the team breaks into the patient’s home and brings back her and daughter’s Macs to scour their hard drives for personal history and diagnostic clues.

Not three full days into the new year, yet it is already time to vote on a pressing topic! David Letterman, Conan O’Brien, Jimmy Kimmel, Jay Leno and Craig Ferguson returned to live television last night, although the WGA strike is not over. Dave and Craig had writers; Jay, Jimmy and Conan did not. Dave and Conan had beards; Jay, Jimmy and Craig did not, though it should probably be noted that Craig wore and later removed a phony beard as part of his opening skit. (Refer to our rudimentary yet informative venn diagram of beard and writer sets after the jump if you are confused.)

Let us not discuss monologues, guests, WGA strike rules, writing or the painful lack thereof but focus instead on the most important aspect of last night’s television selections: magnificently groomed ’80s beards. Who had the best?

6:47pm. November 17, 2007. DF prowls the streets of Echo Park on a brisk Saturday eve. This time, however, my goal is not to find a bodega that sells my favorite brand of imported Oaxacan mescal, but something even more exotic and forbidden. I take a quick left off Temple, and - oh, glorious! - dead ahead lies The Doll Factory, the steaming, teeming site that will house tonite’s contest involving the fierce yet somehow also adorable ladies of the L.A. Derby Dolls.

6:50pm. Outside the venue, a helpful gentleman security professional reminds us that guns, knives, or other implements of violence are prohibited inside. Dang. I return to my vehicle, dump off assorted assault weapons, and retrace my steps, feeling far less safe. When will the lefty-loon gun control commies learn? Guns don’t kill hard-hitting rollerchicks; bullets do.

Michael Ian Black brings his national tour, “I Am A Wonderful Man,” named so after his new CD, to the Ivar Theater for 2 performances this Saturday, October 13. There are 7 pm and 10 pm performances. I am guessing the 10 pm is the “blue” show. Fellow Stella trouper Michael Showalter will be the “special guest” at these shows. So that’s some serious Michael-Michael value for your dollar.

We will now offer you a chance to win tickets to see this show:

Contest closed — Thanks to all who entered.

(WARNING: Plot points revealed in the following post.)

I’m not a movie critic. I’m a scientist. But the Transformers movie raised a lot of questions that trouble my scientific mind. (I will say that the special effects were mind-boggling even to Prof. Losanjealous—and that’s coming from someone who once installed two flux capacitors in a T.A.R.D.I.S. and made perfect flan.)

Starting with the chronology. Prof. Losanjealous seems to recall that the toys came first, then the cartoon, then the comic book, then the movie starring Orson Welles and Judd Nelson (who rumor has it feuded throughout production). Then a few years later there came some vector graphics nonsense where Optimus Prime was an ape and Megatron was like a wine rack. I think that brings us up to date.

So the following are just some notes based on a single viewing of the recent studio release:

Not to be outdone in the marketing blitz department, Los Angeles hogs the 7-Eleven-turned- Kwik-E-Mart concept with two stores — one in Burbank (shown here), the other on the Westside. Poor Middle America. Poor Springfields of the world. They won’t be able to breeze past Marge Simpson and Comic Book Guy on their way to buy a 6-pack of “Buzz Cola” for $3.99. They will have to use the powers of their own imagination to see the freezer geezer on their way to buy ice. They’ll never know the true taste of a real, live, three-dimensional Squishee (tastes cartoony) — and they’ll never have an Indian gentleman at the cash register warn them against brain freeze at the purchase of said Squishee. Yes, that really happened.

Now they’ll never see the movie.

To promote “The Simpsons Movie,” 7-Eleven is turning 12 of its stores into Kwik-E-Marts. This is the Burbank installment at 1611 W. Olive Ave. More photos after the jump.

So, what are you doing tonight? Well my friend, you need to cancel it. You need to cancel it and head down to the Mayan Theater on Hill Street to see if the box office still has a few tickets left for tonight or tomorrow night’s LUCHA VA VOOM. You already missed the opening show last night, with the historic birth of the MINI CHICKEN. But there’s still time to see the Mini Chicken wrestle Los Coyotes and to see asstastic burlesque dancers like MICHELLE L’AMOUR.

Which Italian is the better stallion–local eatery Vito’s Pizza or diminutive actor Danny DeVito? A question plaguing scholars for ages. Until now. Until Losanjudgment.

With the death knoll for Westwood’s National movie house sadly sounding this week, we come across this marquee to be reminded of those little charming quirks that small, single screen art house theaters can still provide. Evidence this tongue-in-cheek movie bill at the Landmark’s Regent theater, around the corner from the National. Let’s see an overpriced ArcLight or AMC mondoplex layout the stars’ names for the new Aqua Teen flick on their marquees. That is, if they are even showing this movie in the first place.
