Madonna Crashes And Burns At BRIT Awards Ceremony
Tonight in London, Madonna put her love to the test at the BRIT Awards. Her love failed, or at least her legs did. Call it a wardrobe failure if you must, but this is Madonna eating it in the least graceful of ways....
J.K. Simmons Uses Oscar Win To Promote Calling Your Parents
As expected, J.K. Simmons took home the Supporting Actor Academy Award for his performance in Whiplash. Simmons's acceptance speech was simple and yet memorable, simply because he told a worldwide audience to call—"Don't text, don't email, call"—a parent, if they have any living ones remaining. ...

Kanye Invades Stage Again In Beyoncé's Honor; Watch Her Reaction
A strangely self-aware Kanye West rushed the stage tonight after the announcement of Beck's win over Beyoncé in the Best Album category, a replay of the 2009 VMAs when the rap artist interrupted Taylor Swift with "I'mma let you finish." West "thought better of it" this time, but watch the angle th...
Iso-Cam On Paul McCartney & Beyoncé Reveal Why They're Music Royalty
Tonight's Grammys performance by "Jeff Lynne's ELO" (which is basically Jeff Lynne backed by the English pop group Take That) didn't get much of a rise from the audience at Staples Center. Two spectators who did manage to stand for the medley of "Evil Woman" and "Mr. Blue Sky"? Paul McCartney and Be...
The NBA Pulled Some Silly Shit With Its Player Of The Month Award
Ordinarily, the NBA's Player of the Month awards aren't worth talking or writing about, even among people who talk and write about NBA stuff. Oh no—Player X didn't win Western Conference Player of the Month for November, even though his PER was a smidge higher than some other dude's! Winning one p...

Here Is The All-Time "Albert Achievement Awards" Blooper Reel
Veteran announcer Marv Albert has been running blooper reels as a guest on David Letterman's program for decades. In his 126 appearances on either Late Night With David Letterman or Late Show, the "Albert Achievement Awards" (set, always, to that ragtime vamp) have established the canon of sports ...
Clayton Kershaw Picks Up MVP Too, Mike Trout Finally Snags One
Clayton Kershaw followed-up his NL Cy Young win by taking home the NL MVP trophy too, becoming the first person to sweep those awards since Bob Gibson did so while playing for the Cardinals in 1968. The Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton—whose candidacy might have been sunk when he took a fastball...

Beyoncé's VMAs Performance, With Her Vocals Isolated
When we put up the isolated vocal track from Taylor Swift's MTV Video Music Awards performance last night, skeptics protested that "you could do that with any performer and it would sound just as bad." In response, here's Beyoncé's full 16-minute, show-ending mini-set, using just the unaltered audio...
Taylor Swift's VMAs Performance, With Her Vocals Isolated
Taylor Swift performed her new single, "Shake It Off," at tonight's MTV Video Music Awards. It's a song about all her "haters," many of whom say the pop-country star can't sing live. So here's her isolated vocal track....
Doc Emrick Calls Play-By-Play For NHLers Playing Bubble Hockey Games
On the less-unhinged side of the NHL Awards, here we have Doc Emrick lending his play-by-play skills to a bubble hockey game between NHL Stars. One of the matchups included dueling goaltenders: Tampa Bay's Ben Bishop and the Bruins' Tuukka Rask. ...
Cuba Gooding Jr. Is Making Everyone Uncomfortable At The NHL Awards
Cuba Gooding, Jr. was a presenter at the NHL Awards tonight and he might have been overserved. Either that or he's the weirdest dude on the planet. I don't know how else to explain the slapping and talking about ass-grabbing and making a reverse Oreo with Mark Messier and Adam Graves. ...
Who Was The Best Oscars Host Of The Past 25 Years?
11. James Franco and Anne Hathaway (2011). Always beware of courting the "young," particularly two young people who are basically 50-year-olds in grownup clothing. Franco, stripped of all self-referential schtick, turned into an empty suit with nowhere to hide, and Hathaway's desperate attempts to p...
NFL All-Non-Playoff Team: The Best Players Not In The Postseason
In the NFL, where many believe that winning supersedes stats, many outstanding players don't get the accolades or attention they deserve, just because the rest of their team was shit. We think that's dumb, so we've gathered up the best players out of the league who didn't make the playoffs this seas...
Which Dead TV Person Got The Most (And Least) Applause At The Emmys?
The "In Memoriam" segment is an awards-show staple. Every year, we're provided a montage of those who died in the previous year; last night's Emmy Awards, though, provided a handful of dead luminaries their own, separate mini-eulogies. Of those who weren't given that honor, which one got the most a...
