ABC's Modern Family - This hilarious new comedy is one of the best on television since Arrested Development - high praise indeed.
Miranda Lambert - Our thanks go out to her for turning in the best country album of the year, her third record, Revolution.
Paranormal Activity - Looking like the scariest movie in a very long time, this low-budget flick banked a staggering $7 million from only 159 theaters this past weekend and will continue to expand nationwide in the coming weeks.
Britain's X-Factor - Hilarious, cheesy, over-the-top - and yet this U.K. talent show still knows where its heart is. High-quality clips of the show are available on YouTube.\nSaturday Night Live - Here's to hoping that Sarah Palin does something outrageous soon, so that Tina Fey can rescue this sinking season of dreary comedy. Seth Meyers needs a "Weekend Update" co-host, stat.
Michael Jackson - "This Is It" - The new song isn't terrible, but it's not awful either, leaving us more bored than anything else.
Pitbull - We would call him our new least favorite rapper, but calling him a "rapper" seems like an insult to the legit MCs in the business.
Couple's Retreat - If someone could stage a career intervention for Vince Vaughn before he goes the way of Will Ferrell, it would be much appreciated.
