Watch Tupac Shakur Make His First Appearance On Stage Since Dying Over Fifteen Years Ago
It was the Coachella closer to end all Coachella closers. Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Eminem, 50 Cent, Wiz Khalifa, Warren G, and Kurupt, all sharing the same stage at some point during the one-and-half-hour grand finale of Weekend One. But the set's true showstopper was none other than presumed-dead rap legend Tupac Shakur, who was resurrected for the concert by way of hologram. View »
Inside The Mind Of NBC's Pervy Cameraman: "BOOBS!"
NBC's Stanley Cup playoff coverage is fantastic; the product they air on TV is great, but the extra camera feeds they offer online add an additional degree of coverage for those truly passionate about hockey. It's clear at least one of NBC's camera operators is passionate about something else, though. View »

Justin Bieber's Chrome Fisker Isn't Just Tasteless, It's Illegal
Last month, Justin Bieber got this Fisker Karma as a $100,000-plus 18th-birthday gift on the Ellen Degeneres Show. Now he's given the car a chrome wrap and a few other modifications that should have him watching out for more than just the fashion police. View »

The Game of Thrones Playmobil recreation you never knew you wanted
One is a venerable line of permanently smiling German toys. The other is an epic fantasy series with plenty of evisceration and scenes of people putting appendages in other people's holes. The result? A Dothraki love-making scene with the power to annihilate your childhood. View »
Jennifer Lawrence's Archery Skills Are No Joke
Here's How Torchlight 2 Starts
The developers at Runic Games know you've been waiting. Their long-brewing RPG sequel was supposed to be out last year, to give even players a dose of hack-and-loot before the even longer-brewing Diablo III came out. Now, Blizzard's game will be hitting shelves before Torchlight 2. View »
Everything's Better in Slow Motion, Especially Things Being Destroyed for No Reason

Snow Leopards Are Far Too Adorable to Be Endangered
Goodness! That's a big stretch for such a little snow leopard cub. Whenever I hear a news story - see a Grey's Anatomy episode - about some strange, lonely person who kept a wild animal for a pet until one day it got big and hungry enough to maul said person, I think, "Well, that was clearly a mistake." Then a video like this comes along and I'm all, "But I want one," and, for a few enlightening seconds, I become a more empathetic person. View »

Michele Bachmann Accuses Obama of ‘Waving a Tar Baby in the Air,' Then Backpedals Like Hell
I'm starting to wonder if it's possible for Michele Bachmann to resist the opportunity to say normal things in the stupidest, most offensive way possible. In an interview yesterday, she managed to make a conversation about high gas prices into an awkwardly racist moment where she accused the President of "waving a tar baby in the air." She's really got the gift. View »
Skyrim's "Arrow in the Knee" Makes a Guest Appearance on NCIS
I used to think the CBS Naval Intelligence procedural NCIS was a show aimed squarely at the extremely mature crowd, until a recent episode took an arrow in the knee. View »
First "Franchise" Footage Shows Ozzie Guillen Getting Suspended
Showtime released a brief, two-and-half-minute video to tease the second season of "The Franchise." The 30-minute premiere airs Saturday at 9 p.m., and if this clip is any indication, Showtime might pull in a few more subscriptions as a result. There's all the drama of building a new stadium, playing PS3 with new teammates, posing with Muhammad Ali, comparing expensive art to baseball free agency, and learning you've been suspended five games for comments about that Castro fella.
