Frankie Muniz
is best known as Malcom from "Malcom In The Middle," but he’s not that gawky little boy any more. As you’ll recall if you read this blog regularly, the wacky dad from that show became the far more disturbed father on "Breaking Bad," but what’s Malcom up to?
Well, he’s less cute than he used to be, but he’s still getting plenty of work. Start with "My Sexiest Year" and "Parental Guidance Suggested," both of them raunchy comic films that could be designed to announce that Muniz is no longer a sweet-faced sitcom teen. 
He’s also become a race car driver, which seems completely improbable. Back in ‘05 he participated in a "pros and celebrities" driving event sponsored by Toyota, and won it. He enjoyed that enough to look into buying into a team, but they decided to hire him as a driver instead. Now he does the […]

Ready or not, China’s going to get a hell of a closeup with the Olympics. And despite all the "One World, One Olympics, One China" signs from the nationalists, Tibet is going to be a huge issue, right up there with Darfur and pollution. Everywhere the Olympic torch goes, protests are sure to follow.
Of course, my only interest in Chinese democracy is whether Axl Rose is going to release "Chinese Democracy" this year. But that’s because I’m a shallow, worthless shell of a human being.

A sneak peek inside an "Idol Gives Back" taping. (TV Squad)
Hi-larious interview with "30 Rock" naif Jack McBrayer, aka Kenneth the Page. No surprise that he was once employee of the month at Applebee’s. (NY Times)
Our favorite "The Office" fan waxes all speculative about the show’s return and what’s happening with Jim and Pam. (GMMR)

In fact, here’s a clip from Thursday’s return episode, "The Dinner Party":

A normal tennis injury would be a pulled muscle or a damaged elbow. But Mikhail Youzhny became famous for a self-inflicted wound. After hitting a ball into the net, the frustrated player whacked himself in the forehead with his racket a couple times, drawing blood and millions of internet viewers. After a quick break to stop the bleeding, he recovered his composure and returned to the court to win the game. Here’s the clip:

As soccer is to American football, MotoGP is to NASCAR: Mostly ignored in the US, but hugely popular everywhere else. As two-wheeled motorsports go, US audiences prefer dirt tracks and jumping. That doesn’t stop MotoGP from being the premiere motorcycle racing category, and it kicked off this weekend under the lights in Qatar. The Australian rider Casey Stoner, shown below with sparks flying from his knee-pucks, took the first race handily, riding an impossibly high-tech Italian machine (Yahoo UK has the rest of the results and video highlights).

Plus, his name is Stoner. How can you not like that?

Shocking, I know, but it seems that broadcasters don’t care as much about getting the shows out as they do about making sure that they get paid for it. That goes for football as much as it does for the scripted entertainment the WGA is fighting about right now.

Pretty soon I’m going to hire Chris Crocker to make a video for me in which he will beg the print, television, and web media to leave Miss Lennox alone with their goddamn 24-7 coverage of Britney’s every Taco Bell stop and hoo-ha flashing. I’m over Britney. I’m sick of nothing but Britney on every web page I view!!!
Thankfully the pretty and sane Anna Kournikova presented herself in a bikini top and form-fitting lounge pants this weekend, and I have a tiny Britney break and a nice piece of flesh to look at on-line. Plus, Anna’s not a Hollywood Bimbette. In fact, the only stupid thing she’s ever done was date and continue to date that douchebag Enrique Iglesias. I mean seriously, what do you see in a guy who friggin’ tells the news media that he needs extra-small condoms?!? Note, not “Small,” […]

Natalie Gulbis is a golfer. She’s a  smoking hot blond golfer that’s built like a brick shit house. For you non-southerners, that’s good. Apparently she’s actually pretty good at golf, as well as being the hottest golfer ever (apologies John Daly). I don’t know much about golf because golf is for rich fat guys who are red faced drunks. And well, I think we all know that I am a Latin sex panther.
More Natalie becuase I love my new Flickr plugin.
