When the Grandmother of American television has a problem with reality programming, maybe it's time to reflect about how truly terrible some shows actually are. In other words, don't expect to see Keepin' It Real with Betty White anytime soon.

Did you watch last night's season three premiere of True Blood, HBO's soupy (and soapy) Southern gothic sex series? It picked up immediately where season two left off, meaning we had lots of character business to deal with. Too much.

New York Senator Chuck Schumer is calling attention to the fact that retinyl palmitate, an ingredient in most sunscreens, was shown to accellerate cancer in lab animals. If sitting under an umbrella kills you, too, then summer is totally ruined.

We have another Alabama candidate making insane campaign commercials. This one is Rick Barber, the Tea Party favorite in a looming congressional runoff, and he's trying to convince several exhumed Founding Fathers to revolt against the United States of America!

According to real estate website Redfin, a luxury property hit the D.C. market this weekend: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, "for sale by owner" for $10,000,000. They've since removed the listing, but we saved the charmingly bizarre mistaken one.

South Asian gossip blogs have been a buzz recently over a racy Indian-themed New York Lotto commercial filmed over a decade ago.

Coffee science! Radiation danger! Sunscreen cancer! Nasty Kit Kats! Lap band death! And Gwyneth Paltrow's Paltry Workout for Palsy Patients! It's your health-filled Health Watch, where we watch your health—as Milo of Croton watched his!

It's true. The spawn of Will.i.am.legend Smith has chop-sockeyed his way past the 1980s' most grizzled and proficient band of van-driving mercenaries. How did this happen? Apparently some '80s nostalgia is more powerful than others.

The Today Show's Queen of verbal diarrhea truly outdid herself this morning. While discussing a news item in which a schoolteacher was fired for having sex before marriage, she let the world know her feelings about getting down and dirty.

Summer is here and it's getting hot. How does one cope with the oppressive heat while still being office appropriate? Watch and learn.

He's constantly making fun of her and her looks, but she's afraid to complain. This actor ruins interviews for reporters by being a jerk, and this actress ruins them by being stoned. Sounds like they'd make interesting copy to us!

What could be weird about some Polish guy going all Siegfried and Roy with a lion cub? Maybe its the way they play fetch, or maybe its how they almost make out. But without subtitles, we really have no idea.

"Math," one of the subjects Americans do not learn in high school, tells us that the value of a college degree is now negative. Nevertheless, kids are now rushing to pay more to attend colleges. Fake colleges.

This creative and probably psychotic kid had the idea to pull out a loose tooth by tying it to a rocket and then launching the thing. It worked. Wonder what his next great idea will be.
