Did you see ... ?: June 2008 Archives

Our hearty chuckle of the day — here's an appearance by Cookie Monster on Thursday's episode of "The Colbert Report," setting the record straight about his new, healthy-food, non-cookie agenda, and dishing about those "crazy" years in the ’70s and ’80s when he was "the Robert Downey Jr. of cookies."


A promo for the half-season finale "Revelations."

So Sci Fi's "Battlestar Galactica" concluded the first half of its final season with a bit of a shocker. Was it worth it? What will happen in the final episodes?

Spoilers after the jump...

John Cusack this morning on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" show.

Evanston native John Cusack appeared on MSNBC this morning to chat about his new MoveOn.org ads — in which he makes the argument that it's difficult to tell the policies of George W. Bush and John McCain apart — as well as his new Iraq war-related movie. He takes a hearty swipe at cable talk fiend Bill O'Reilly in the process.

Cusack returns to MSNBC tonight, on "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" at 7 p.m.

Like the stoners they play in the upcoming ‘‘Pineapple Express,’’ Seth Rogen and James Franco stumbled unkowingly into trouble Sunday at the MTV Movie Awards.

And of course, the weed was someone else’s.

Early on in the show, Rogen and Franco took the podium to present the award for best summer movie so far, joking that MTV chose them because only ‘‘two potheads like us’’ would be willing to announce such a strange category. Then they pulled out a bag of ‘‘fake weed’’ and a ‘‘huge fatty joint’’ — and proceeded to light it.
