And just like that, a new internet thingy is born. They lip sync Hall & Oates' (Oates and Hall's?) masterpiece "You Make My Dreams" backwards. That dwarf from Twin Peaks would be so proud.

Was today National Divorce Day or something? (No, April 16 is.) It sort of seemed like it was, though. Beyoncé's mom served her dad with divorce papers today. Ivana Trump filed to divorce Rossano Rubicondi this afternoon. LeAnn Rimes' husband served the country singer. And Jon and Kate Gosselin's divorce was finalized today, too.

It's been twenty wonderful years (some more wonderful than others) that The Simpsons have been caricatures of the American dream. What better way to celebrate than in song? Here are the greatest Simpsons musical numbers from the show's auspicious run.

This video is further evidence that puppies can do just about anything and still be considered cute. The loose translation of the anchors on-air discussion is "Man that's smelly, happy holidays."

Jimmy has already won us over as a funny, unapologetic late night host. But when He dons 10 scarves and teams up with Norah Jones to do a the viral 12 Days of Christmas? We love him even more.
