A man has broken the world record for fist pumping buy pumping for 17 hours. My god what an achievement, but we are overlooking how raw his penis must be. The President of Yahoo has been forced to resign because he made an inflated claim on his resume. Meanwhile, in other news, Barak Obama ate dog. Robert Pattinson is 27 going on 17, good for you RSchmuck, I mean RPutz. Are Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer an item again? Is Jessica Simpson's body still a wonderland? Yes, it's just we are wondering why her territory doubled in size. Is Jay-Z acting like a wild bachelor on the prowl? With a name like Jay-Z I don't think any of us really care. Drake is romancing two cougars? Man, dude's a zookeeper. Does Casper Smart enjoy his five minutes of fame? Is that all he lasts for? Lightweight. Rihanna was recently hospitalized for too much partying. It's ok though, let's keep the focus on Lindsay Lohan, she's white after all. Christina Aguilera is quitting The Voice. John Travolta is not gay, he just like's dudes.
Mariah and Nick renew their vows in Paris? I bet he showed her the Eiffel Tower. Truth be told, it might have been more like the leaning tower of Pisa. Gwyneth Paltrow has post partum depression. Me too, but it has been quite a while since I was in the womb. Kim K and Lindsay Lohan will attend the White House Correspondent's Dinner. I guess they wanted to see who has the best lines, and I'm not talking about comedy. Jessica Simpson has a baby shower? What is it like 2 feet tall and a tiny water head? Weirdo. Ellen DeGeneres is a Vegan? I thought she ate meat every night! Jenny McCarthy loves Botox. She loves silicon too. Richard Simmons has flammable shorts. Molly Ringwald drinks Kristen Stewart's blood. But alas it's not that time of the month yet. Want to see Taylor Lautner pics? Then go see Breaking Dawn Part 2. Lisa Rinna does advertisements for adult diapers. That's a coincidence because the first time I saw her naked I shit my pants!
Katy Perry dyes her hair purple. That's quite a change from the pink it was last week. Kelsey Grammar has proven you are never too old to get a tattoo or a Viagra prescription. Nicole Kidman does not mind being naked. Trust me when I tell you we don't mind either. Ashton Kutcher is having "intercourse" with Mila Kunis. One more time for those of you from Port Saint Lucie Florida, that's "intercourse". Who's is bigger Angelina's or Jennifer's? What are we talking about? Just ask Brad Pitt, he'll tell you! Seal has a new girlfriend and her name is whatshernameIdon'tcare. Will Pippa Middleton face arrest? Will switching to Progressive really give you better discounts? Taylor Armstrong is "so not ready to date yet". Wait, I don't speak moron, does that mean she wants to date or not? Bow Wow is no longer a wanted man but that doesn't answer the question who let the dogs out?
J-Lo bought Casper Smart a truck for his birthday. Hey, we already know where he likes to park it! Lamar Odom you are fired! Thanks for playing, next time leave the 500lb gorilla at home. Yeah, we are talking to you Kardashian. NBC's Rock Center has coverage more lopsided than Brian Williams' face. Miley Cyrus is not anorexic, she just eats lots of laxatives, get it? LOL? Ann Hathaway's hair is so short she looks like Jerry Seinfeld and there is nothing funny about that. Jennifer Hudson will appear at a murder trial. As a witness or as a defendant? Ah who keeps up with the Kardashians anyway. Khloe Kardashian says Lamar Odom deserved better from the Mavericks. Khloe, try running your fat ass up a basketball court and then you can talk. Is Lindsay Lohan guilty of assault? Only because she attacked my heart. Awwwww. Mila Kunis or Kate Upton? It depends, which one did Justin Timberlake already date? After being arrested for a DUI Amanda Bynes went back to her hotel bar. Maybe it's time she went back to acting because she sure plays a dumbass great in real life.

Mixing comedy with misery can be a nice recipe for healing. 50/50 really moved me at times. Joseph Gordon-Levitt has a significant regular guy appeal that we can all relate to. Meanwhile, his counterpart Seth Rogen is heartfelt and hilarious (a combo that he demonstrated in Funny People) which makes the story flow and the emotions convey at the precise moments they need to. With a nice and rather inoffensive supporting cast, 50/50 is a wonderful film. Laughing in the face of morbidity is the only way I would have it personally. Take is from someone that has been through some harrowing physical injuries, the best medicine, and perhaps the only relief at times is laughter. Thank you Seth and Joseph.
Adam (Gordon-Levitt) is 27 and he has a malignant mass developing in his back between L2-L5. After suffering considerable discomfort and back pain he seeks a doctor's opinion and the outlook is grim (he has a 50/50 chance of survival provided the tumor does not metastasize), at least according to a generic Google search. Fortunately this shocking and surprising news comes on the heels of his burgeoning relationship with Rachael (Bryce Dallas Howard) and his best friend Kyle's (Rogen) success.
Unfortunately, Rachael is at all times aloof and uninvolved while Kyle is dialed in and supportive in the most comical way imaginable. Kyle uses his friend's cancer to play the sympathy card with women while Rachael is unsupportive and promiscuous. No matter what the scenario, Kyle never abandons his friend while Rachael doesn't even hold her boyfriend's hand while he is vomiting from the chemotherapy. At the hospital Adam develops a wonderful rapport with two fellow chemo patients (Matt Frewer and Phillip Baker Hall) with a taste for adventure. His designated hospital psychiatrist (Anna Kendrick) is a doctoral student that is completely clueless about how to comfort the afflicted. There is of course his loving and terrified mother Diane (Anjelica Houston). Everyone in his support group is wonderful save his wishy-washy girlfriend.
The most touching moments are also the most hilarious. Three cancer patients of varying ages sharing pot macaroons, Adam shaving his beautiful head of hair with Kyle's electric asshole razor, and Kyle's intervention after Rachael swaps bodily fluids with artistic Jesus are my three favorites. The best part of 50/50 is that while it takes this deadly disease that impacts millions of Americans (including my mother who is now cancer free thank God), it does not present an ever-grim outlook. Writer Will Reiser and Director Jonathan Levine are human in that they present an honest portrait of grief and misery by combing and contrasting it with humor and friendship. 50/50 is a really great movie that any audience would be lucky to watch. Should 50/50 have been nominated for an Oscar? Absolutely not as it is more enjoyable and real than any film nominated by the wizards of condescension known as The Academy.
