Cory Haim: 1980′s Tween Casanova
In recent years, eternally 15-year old pop star Justin Bieber and Twilight vampire/werewolf Robert Lautnerson have dominated the hearts and bedroom posters of tweenage girls. But who were tweens way back in 1989 pining for? Cory Haim of “the two Corys” fame, of course. Here is a video Haim made upon leaving his first rehab stint to ensure his middle school fan base that he was still ready to be their heartthrob throughout the 1990′s, surely. Assuming Jason Priestly and Luke Perry don’t come along, that is.
Adventures of the Pretentious Bum

Vagine Cuisine

Easter is coming. In other words, the most boring holiday of the year for adults is upon us. I remember the Easter egg hunt I went to as a kid featured a second hunt afterwards for adults. The eggs were filled with little liquor bottles. They seemed to have fun.

Well into its first season, Rob Michael Hugel‘s “I Hate Being Single” keeps getting better. Whether you’re single yourself or have something going but have wandering eyes and are looking for ways to remind you that being single sucks, you should be watching this.
Ted & Gracie: The Surprise
Jena Friedman & Co. are back with another episode of the seriously creepy, seriously funny (for serious) web series “Ted & Gracie.”
Romney To Travel Back In Time To Kill Liberal Versions Of Himself
With new polls out this week showing President Obama leading Mitt Romney by an average of nine points across the twelve major swing states, his campaign is starting to realize he needs a game changer. And as the old political saying goes…(from The Onion)
Downton Arby’s
In the stratified class structure of Edwardian England, there was “upstairs,” there was “downstairs,” and (though much less covered in the history books and miniseries) there was “across the street at Arby’s.” Join the lives of some of that era’s most privileged, and downtrodden, as they engage in romance, wage inheritance struggles, and try to make sure the curly fries always come out extra soggy.
The Muppets Take Wall Street
After the embarrassing tell-all New York Times op/ed from a disgruntled former Goldman Sachs middle manager last week, the ginormous investment bank has been fending off punches from every direction. But the biggest damage that the ex-executive director could have done was bring the muppets into this.
