Video: Just What is a Hufflepuff, Anyway?
Gryffindors are brave; Slytherins are ambitious; Ravenclaws are smart; and Hufflepuffs are… Wait, does anyone actually know what Hufflepuffs are? Is Hufflepuff just some sort of repository House for the kids Hogwarts doesn’t know quite what to do with? The questions need answering! The public has a right to know!

Video: Adam Savage Sings ‘I Will Survive’ in the Voice of Gollum
Author Neil Gaiman recently appeared on the Minnesota Public Radio show Wits, during which he recounted a memory of Mythbuster Adam Savage singing “I Will Survive” in the voice of Gollum. So what’s a radio show host to do? Why, call up Adam Savage and ask for an encore, of course! Much hilarity ensues. Laugh heartily, my friends.

Video: An ‘Inception’ Reception
Ever since Inception came out, it’s been a trend to Inception-ize the most common, everyday things: Cats, My Little Ponies… and now wedding receptions. The Mary Sue recommends that you watch this video at least until the 1:30 mark. They are absolutely correct. And before you ask, yes, this IS from someones ACTUAL WEDDING RECEPTION. Furthermore, they did, in fact, arrive by helicopter. Just make sure to keep an eye on that spinning top.

Tony Awards: Behind-the-Scenes Sneak Peek Video!
Guess what? It’s Tony Awards Night, so break out the song-and-dance! Crushable Associate Editor Natalie Zutter and I will be covering the event for you all tonight; the telecast airs on CBS at 8pm. In the meantime, though, let’s start getting psyched up for it, shall we? Earlier this week, host Neil Patrick Harris gave CBS Early Show co-anchor Chris Wragge a backstage preview of the show, and guess what again? You can watch it on video here! I’m not entirely sure why Wragge seems so obsessed with the fact that this year’s venue, the Beacon Theatre, is a more “intimate” space than the show’s usual venue of Radio City Music Hall (count how many times he says it. I dare you. I DOUBLE dare you), but if this video is anything to go by, there’s going to be some fun stuff to look forward to this year. Now’s your time to get a sneak peek at a few moments in rehearsal, including a bit from the all-star production of Company (featuring NPH, Stephen Colbert, Jon Cryer, Christina Hendricks… the list goes on), a tidbit from Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, and a quick look at Best Musical and Best Revival of a Musical nominees Catch Me If You Can, Sister Act, How to Succeed, and The Book of Mormon.

Video: A Zombie Musical Love Story
While we’re on the subjects of both zombies and musicals: Has it ever occurred to you that maybe the undead deserve a musical of their very own? If it hasn’t, it should; but in any event, it occurred to SOMEBODY, and the result of that piece of epic wondering is this: Rigamortis: A Zombie Love Story. And it’s AWESOME. More »
Video: Darth Vader Goes to Disneyland
Although Star Tours: The Adventure Continues opened in Disney World on May 20, Californians had to wait an additional two weeks before enjoying its Disneyland counterpart. But today, on this day of days, Disneyland’s spiffed-up Star Tours opened to much fanfare, and who else should be the one to knock down the “Opening Soon” sign but the mighty Sith Lord himself? He does, however, take a spin on the Teacups first. Classic. More »

Video: Reasons I Love George Takei
There are many reasons to love George Takei. He was Sulu on Star Trek: The Original Series. He was Hiro’s dad on Heroes. He took anti-gay Arkansas school board member Clint McCance to task for being a douchebag. He submitted the best audition ever for Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. And now, he’s speaking out against the Tennessee “Don’t Say Gay” law. His solution to the so-called problem? Well, fine; if you don’t want to say “gay,” substitute “Takei” instead! I don’t know about you, but I love the idea of a Takei Pride Parade. It’s okay to be Takei! More »

Would You Take Sex Advice from MTV’s Teen Moms?
Tonight, MTV is airing a special called 10 Most Outrageous Sex Myths. The special features celebrities and MTV stars talking about and debunking sex myths like “You can’t get pregnant if a guy pulls out.” Since the special hasn’t aired yet, the jury is out on whether it’ll be a surprisingly-well-done episode like the Markai Durham abortion special or something horrible and ham-fisted like the Teen Mom 2 reunion.

‘Dancing with the Stars’: Kendra’s Boobs Attack and Ralph and Karina Take a Tumble
This season on Dancing with the Stars, every single week has been a theme week. I’m okay with occasional theme weeks on the show if they push people outside of their comfort zones – classical week was great because people couldn’t rely on the lyrics to help them keep their timing, and it ended up upping everyone’s game – but when you have one every single week it just starts to look gimmicky. But Dancing with the Stars is nothing if not gimmicky, so here we go. More »
Video: ‘Jersey Shore’ Gone (Oscar) Wilde!
Oscar Wilde once said, “Whatever harsh criticism may be passed on the construction of their sentences, they at least possess that one touch of vulgarity that makes the whole world kin.” Or, the cast of Jersey Shore may be insufferable human beings, but boy, aren’t they fun to watch! You know what makes them even MORE fun to watch? Their direct quotes being delivered by the cast of the current Broadway revival of Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest, of course. More »

Video: Kid Fails at Michael Jackson Song, Rages at Karaoke Competition
It’s not clear if the moderators actually put in the wrong track — Michael Jackson‘s “Black or White” has the same opening guitar riff as Foreigner‘s “Hot Blooded” — or if he got started too late and was trying to cover up. Either way, this video of a college karaoke competition makes us want to give him a hug. More »
