Geeky Guilty Pleasure

There are many things in life with which we have love/hate relationships. But rarely do two of those things come together in one. So behold closeted Trekkies and Ke$ha fans/haters alike, because this video might just top the list of awesomely bad things in life.



I never watched a whole lot of "Star Trek" (practically none in fact), but I never realized how much drinking there was on that show. Nor did I notice the bromance between Kirk and Spock. But they do help make that song bearable. Brilliant.

Thanks to Jen Wilson for the link!

LIVEBLOG: The 64th Annual Tony Awards

How did these sneak up on me again? That's right, folks, the 64th Annual Tony Awards are tonight and I'll be bringing you the play-by-play (no bad pun intended). I'll be doing the Live Blog thing again as we watch Broadway starlettes and vets duke it out for the coveted Tony Awards.

There are a handful of interesting nominations this year -- particularly "American Idiot," a jukebox rock musical based on the popular Green Day album of the same name, nominated for Best Musical -- as well as the hosting choice: Sean Hayes. Hayes is nominated for his role in the critically-condemned revival of "Promises, Promises," and although the show itself was not praised, many critics said Hayes was one of the production's redeeming qualities.

That said, this year's award ceremony is sure to be an interesting one. So join me at 8 o'clock to follow along with the good, the bad and the ugly for this year's Tonys.
