Give Me My Remote: News & Notes

Has Dave Chappelle lost his mind?
Did Dave Chappelle walked away from $50M because he needed more Vitamin Love? What the hell is that? I caught him on Oprah the other day and it was bizarre to watch. Sometimes he sounded like a level headed person who took himself out of a potentially “dangerous” position. But her times he sounded like someone who just wasn’t all quite there. Oprah didn’t quite no what to make of him either. It does sound like he might make it back to his show…if they’ll take him. Check out Zap2it for the fully story.

SNL in for a big change?
Lorne Michaels says that SNL is in the midst of transition. Expect to see a few different things from SNL in the near future. Hopefully this new blood will make the show watchable again. It’s the Chronic (what) ‘cles of Narnia. (Yahoo!)

Are you ready from some football…commercials?
In light of today’s Super Bowl (which seems so wrong without the Patriots), I thought I’d share an intersting article about the most important aspect of the game…the commercials. Find out what goes into these quick spots, as well as what you might be seeing today. (NY Times) If I’m going to mention football at all, I might as well use the opportunity to give you a little eye candy. We’ll miss you on that field today, Tom Brady.

The blowhard is back on Blow Out
Pompous jackhole Jonathan Antin will be back on Bravo in March for a whole new season on Blow Out. This show is such a guilty pleasure, I’ll be watching it. (The Futon Critic)

Sidenote: I remember during the first season when Jonathan did Kristen Bell’s (Veronica Mars) hair for the Golden Globes? I had no idea who she was at the time. Oh how things have changed. Did I mention that I’m going to visit the set of Veronica Mars? Well I am! And I will probably be mentioning it everyday until I leave three weeks from now. Just a warning.
