We here at TMR usually pride ourselves on the ability to wade through the internet’s digital morass of celebrity nonsense, gadget fetishism, and vacuous top-10 lists, to bring you something unique and substantive every day. Today I’m going to have to temporarily surrender.

You see, a certain unnamed former sexpot and pop-star died today. Therefore, there is no other news.

I want you Meppers to know that this video was incredibly difficult to find. HBO has been on a censorship rampage in trying to shield Buck from the humiliation of having his first talk show railroaded by the longtime Howard Stern co-host.

This was amazing to see live. You could tell that Lange was at least half in the bag, and that Buck had neither the charm, nor skill to stop him. To be fair, Buck was a particularly useless talk show host. He isn’t witty, engaging, or even particularly interesting. He has a job because he inherited his father’s pipes. That’s about it. I don’t think we’ll be seeing him in Bob Costas’ seat again.

Last night, Jimmy Fallon and his Brat Pack tried out a prototype version of Project Natal, Xbox 360s answer to Wii controllers…

And now, the world premiere of a new Mep trailer…

Everyone needs to be loved, even evil alien superbeings and cyber constructs. The following short is a tale of a love so powerful, it crossed movie trilogies, genders, and even parallel universes to come true.

This is the tale of Smith & Zod.

Feel free to  Digg this video.

This ad man’s ballad is almost as touching as the original.

This confrontation between Sacha Cohen’s Bruno, and homophobic caricature, Eminem seems totally genuine. I mean, obviously, Cohen was rigged to land on Mr. Mathers, but having seen 8-mile, I doubt the rapper could conjure up a batch of fake indignation.

To any confused conservatives out there, this is what is meant by ‘teabagging.’

Okay, so its not true…but doesn’t she totally look like her?  I guess after you’ve been married for 28 years and had seven kids, its time to divorce and have a love-child with a Russian musician.

So, I’ve checked her out and this Oksana is onto something.  She had a son with Timothy Dalton three years after he got out of a 14 year relationship with Vanessa Redgrave.  She’s brilliant!  Find old guys who just get out of long-term relationships, have their baby and then sit pretty in your child-support funded castle in the sky.

Seth Green is strangely tolerable in this piece.

A Cracked contributor really let Carlos Mencia have it in this in-depth analysis of Mecia’s Twittering habits…

Poor guy. No one wants to mock his unjustified celebrity anymore. What did he ever do to deserve this? I mean, other than riding on the coattalis of his famous mother, and stealing other comics’ material…
