This Just In: Glee Outgays Project Runway

Glee, my friends, continues to be one of the best shows on tv right now. Last night's episode did not disappoint, as it not only included an AMAZING version of "Somebody to Love" that made me tear up a little, and this little nugget that we call "Puck in a towel":

But featured the goddess that is Kristin Chenoweth. I am so glad they had her guest star on this show. It's like she was made for Glee. Btch is FIERCE. Revered in the theater world, she is also know to lay people as the girl from The West Wing and more recently, her Emmy award winning role on Pushing Daises. But like I said, in our theater world, she is the ULTIMATE Broadway diva. In a recent interview with Chris Colfer, the kid who plays the FABULOUS Kurt on Glee, said "Working with Kristin is what I can imagine what a Priest would go through if they worked with Jesus." That being said, here's an excerpt from one of my favorite blogs, bestweekever.tv, recapping the scene with Cheno and Lea Michele singing 'Maybe This Time' from Cabaret.

Now, the highlight of the show. Ms. Rhodes is wheeled into the room on a gurney and introduced to the rest of the club, who is shocked by her age and emotionless forehead. To prove her worth, she has the pianist “Tinkles” cue up Cabaret’s "Maybe This Time", which she duets with Rachel. It was here that the Earth physically shook, as gay men and their lady hags jumped off of their couches to cheer on a scene that could only be appreciated by this oft-forgotten group of Americans. This scene was almost too good for TV, and looked like something directed by Chicago’s Rob Marshall.

Geez, that line is so true it's disgusting. Here's the clip! Enjoy nerds!

Where's Waldo: IRL

So apparently, there's this artist guy in Beijing, Liu Bolin, who spends hours making himself a piece of his own art. It can take up to 10 hours to paint himself as part of the environment around him, and the result is amazing. Here are a few of his pieces, the rest are at the source.

Mad Men Mania

I loves me some Mad Men. The secrets, the adultery, the random offing of appendages. More importantly, I loves me some Jon Hamm. So when they say 'imitation is the highest form of flattery,' take that into account when watching these videos.

Like night and day, these two Mad Men parodies are clearly for two different demographics, but still cater to the common denominator, which is Mad Men fans like myself, and possibly you, the IAYN reader.

The first is a tame, kid friendly version featured on Sesame Street. I heard about this a while ago, and couldn't figure out how they were going to pull off the show sans sex, smoking, drinking, and adult themes. But alas, Big Bird pulled it off, and here we have Mad Men: Sesame Street style.

Now in COMPLETE contrast, here is a parody done by funnyordie.com, featuring NKOTB's Joey Mac with a Massachusetts twist on it. God I miss Boston. Here's MA Men.

The Cow in the Meadow Goes Moo...

Nothing makes me happier than seeing former TV show stars reunite and recreate a piece of their own television history. Ok that was a lie. Things that make me happier than said activity: sitcom bloopers, the Backstreet Boys, Christmas Eve, and the hope that one day Lauren Graham and John Krasinski will do a movie together.

ANYWAYS, like I was saying, TV cast members reuniting outside of the show, to make it look like they're actually friends IRL is a good thing. At last night's Rock a Little Feed A Lot charity concert, Lisa Kudrow and Courteney Cox Arquette went on stage, and this is what happened. Also, Kudos to the guy in the audience with the balls to suggest it.

Not Yo Mamma's Meatloaf

Things I Will Do For Love: Checklist
Yes	No
Run right into hell and back	That
Be there 'till the final act
Take the vow
Seal a pact
Raise you up
Help you down
Get you right out of this god-forsaken town
Make it all a little less cold
Hold you sacred
Hold you tight
Colorize your life
Make it all a little less old
Make you some magic with my own two hands
Build an emerald city with these grains of sand
Give you something you can take home
Cater to every fantasy you've got
Hose you down with holy water if you get too hot
Take you places you've never known

If This Is Work, Sign Me Up

Found some pictures of the inside of Pixar studios. I really wish I went to work five days a week in this office. Hell, I'd be happy if I even had an office to go to. WAH WAH.

Subliminal Messaging

Remember in that one episode of Saved By the Bell when Zack used subliminal messaging on a new cassette tape for a hit song to convince Mr. Belding he 'was the son he never had' and to get Kelly to go to the dance with him? That's what I thought of when I saw this article. Here are some popular logos with hidden symbols and messages in them that represent the company. I can never look at a FedEx logo the same again.

At first glance, this logo looks simply like the initials for Baskin Robins but if you take a second look, you will see the number 31 in the acronym (highlighted in a pink color). This stems from the idea that Baskin Robbins sells 31 types of ice cream, one for each day of the month.

The hidden rightward-pointing arrow in the negative space between the letter E and X conveys the speed and precision of the company’s delivery service.
