- BONUS TRACK: David Letterman recently aired this clip of Bill Hicks doing standup on the Late Show in 1993 that he originally refused to broadcast. It’s way more awesome than the notorious unaired 1994 Gallagher/Leno clip that I made up. (Milk and Cookies, via Gorillamask)

While You Were No Longer Dancing Your Ass Off
- I’ve always adored Simon Pegg, but his recent radio attack on fellow British comedian Ricky Gervais is totally and completely… forgivable. This is like England’s version of a rap war, folks! So please, forgive the lameness of the following sentiment: TEAM PEGG.
- SPOILER ALERTTT: In a shocking elimination, Kim Kardashian was the third person voted off of Dancing with the Stars. Proving once and for all that Americans have no idea who the hell she is or why she is famous.
- David Letterman grilled actress Anne Hathaway on her relationship with now-in-jail Italian con man Rafaello Follieri on last night’s show. And call us crazy, but we think she handles it fairly well under the circumstances.
- MORNING QUOTE BREAK: “The movie portrays blind people as monsters, and I believe it to be a lie.” says Marc Maurer, President of the Baltimore-based National Federation of the Blind, regarding the upcoming Julianne Moore film Blindness. Maurer, along with other blind folks, plans on protesting the movie with signs that say “I’m not an actor. But I play a blind person in real life.” I fully support the effort and all, but could someone please read to Mr. Maurer the following critique? “Work on your slogans.”
- NSFW: This music video mash-up of a little girl and some puppets baking a cake would be totally unwatchable… if it wasn’t for a Lil (Jon) surprise about halfway through. Best 1:14 seconds you’ll have today, I swear.
- Reports are surfacing that Will Smith has converted to Scientology. Meaning that now, along with Tom Cruise, two of Hollywood’s most famous and nicest celebrities as part of their Church, hence there’s no way I could possibly turn down those friend Subway station e-meter testers now, is there?
- Mary-Kate Olsen appeared on David Letterman last night, doing a fairly excellent impression of one of our favorite movie characters ever… Bernie. Also, she seems deplorable.
- Little man Verne Troyer is plenty pissed that his sex tape leaked this week, and is sueing TMZ.com to show that he means business. Adorable, baby-like, mini-tongued, cute-as-sin business.
- The real-life and actually scary Dr. Hibbard has had his license suspended. (Insert jovial chuckle.)
- Actress Uma Thurman is engaged! Meaning that in just a few months, Quentin Tarantino’s foot fetish may or may not forever hold his peace in church.
