YOUTUBE: Handsome Man's Club

Late-night host and comedian Jimmy Kimmel had a sketch on his show earlier this month in which he poked fun as himself with the help of some of music, movie, and television's hottest stars. The Handsome Man's Club is a secret organization where celebrities like actors Matthew McConaughey, Ethan Hawke, Patrick Dempsey, Rob Lowe, Taye Diggs, and Josh Hartnett; football player Tony Romo; and musicians Lenny Kravitz, Keith Urban, and Sting, amoung several others "handsomes." Its fun to keep watching just to see who else is going to pop up.

Any sketch making fun of "Twilight," spanks, Romo's ears, and red-haired beards, borders on pure genius. I would have loved to have been there during the filming of this bit just to see how much was ad-libbed and what, no doubt, went on that ened up on the cutting room floor, despite its hilarity. Plus, watching Kravitz call Kimmel a "punk-ass bitch" live would have been epic. Make sure you watch it all the way to the end for one last special guest star.

YOUTUBE: Twilight (What Have You Done To My Wife?)

As Twilight-mania seems to be currently overcome by blue space aliens, real world shaping events like the Haitian earthquake, or just general boredom, I'm sure it will only be short-lived. Another book or subsequent movie is right around the corner and at the very least, someone else will attempt to knock-off the genre and get a few bucks out of it.

In the mean time, the band Shallow Day has made a video for a song capturing their frustrations. "Twilight (What Have You Done To My Wife)" begs the question of how a "pale skinned Cullin who's ass-shaped" can steal the hearts of some many normally-levelheaded women?

The video is low-budget but has evidence of a Dracula-sized castle full of creativity. I love the werewolf posse the band acquires as they walk down the street. Ironic, as the lyrics hint, that a book and movie franchise about vampires and werewolves can turn people to zombies!
