Yup, it's that time again, when a man in a rented King Kong costume stumbles down to the creek for a leak, only to find himself filmed for the X-Files. Bigfoot captured on video.

I haven't blogged much in a few days due to something called “real life” interceding, but my bookmark folder is getting very backed up, so it's time to start spewing forth again. And i thought I'd start by raising the tone with this new South African ad for a fruit-flavored condom.

Another hundred trips to Vegas and Jellio can afford Howard's (driver's) stretch Escalade. See the eBay listing.

So Ariana Huffington's celebrity blog went live this week. It's a pretty interesting collection of commentary from a mix of celebs, writers, politicians, pundits and others. It's nice to see celebrities make typos when they post their blog entries. They're just like us!

And sources say Paula Abdul was supposed to play the Amy Poehler ("Paula") role in the American Idol skit on SNL, but the real Paula had a breakdown in rehearsal.
