• Chris Rock is going to host the Oscars. So super best ever.

(And while we're on the topic of shitty Colin Farrell vehicles, can we all agree that Alexander looks like the worst piece of high-camp schlock ever? I promise you: in ten years, Josh is going to be blogging about how he used the commemorative chalice found in the four disc uber-edition of Alexander to do a shot every time Colin makes out with a eunuch or kills an elephant.)

• Seriously people, what is up with all this Mary Cheney hand-wringing? She out, she's running her dad's campaign, and (as the final question in the debates proved) talking about family is fair game.

Them's the facts.
