Host with the Most: Academy Awards Edition

It's been almost a week since the Academy Awards and I think we've all pretty much forgotten about them. (At least, I have.) Instead of recapping my thoughts of the show or the movies from this past year in general (they were similar) (except for Scott Pilgrim, Kick Ass & MacGruber); I'm here to look to the future. 

Everyone's first choice for Oscar host is always Billy Crystal. Well folks, it's time to retire that idea. Don't you think every year, the Academy calls up Billy and says "Billy, isn't it about time you came back?" and Billy always says "You rush a miracle man, you get rotten miracles....No" Okay, so he probably doesn't quote The Princess Bride, but you get my point. He's done people, we have to let it go. We have to move on! And that's why I'm here, I present you with my top 5 contenders for next year's Academy Awards' Host:


5. Jon Hamm


Basis of Consideration: He's attractive, funny, respectable and totally capable. 

4. Joel McHale


Basis of Consideration:He's been hosting the Soup for years! He hosted this year's Independent Spirit Awards.

3. Neil Patrick Harris


Basis of Consideration: Quite possibly my favorite gay man ever, he can sing, dance and act. He's hosted The Emmys, The Tonys & the TV Land Awards.

2. Jimmy Fallon


Basis of Consideration: After this year's Emmys, there's no way you can tell me he couldn't handle it. Besides, he gets excited about everything & has chemistry with everyone. He'd be the greatest, I'm telling you. (Obviously, this clip also backs both Jon Hamm & Joel McHale)

1. The Fucking Muppets


Basis of Consideration: Who doesn't love the muppets??? They had their own show! They can do no wrong.

 


There you have it Academy, I'm handing you gold. I'm also for hire.

Honorable Mentions: Seth Meyers (via @JrodakaJrod), Paul Rudd (via bestweekever.tv)

(Ed. Note: It wasn't until I finished this post that I realized there were no women on this list. I'm sorry ladies, I'm just as bad as the men that run this country. I'll make it up to us! Girl Power!)

Happy Valentine's Day!

It's Valentine's Day and while, generally, I'm not very bitter today; I still thought it would be pretty fulfilling to compile a list of some great break-up/anti-love songs. Now, there are about 9,875,729,461 songs that could be applied to this particular topic, and I am only one person, so by all means leave some of your favorites in the comments! Also, these are only kind of in an order, but they're pretty interchangeable and like most top 10s, the only spot that really matters is #1.(side note: There is some swearing that occurs, so if you are watching these at work, you might wanna pop on those headphones.)

10.Blink 182 - Dammit





-It freaked me out, how young they are in this video.


9. Maroon 5 - Makes Me Wonder





-This might've been just an excuse to put Adam Levine in this countdown. But come on: "Really makes me wonder, if I ever gave a fuck about you" that's a pretty good line.


8. Kelly Clarkson - Since U Been Gone






- I don't know how it is for guys, but this is definitely a song that is screamed at the top of your lungs while driving down the road. Also, it's very Catchy.


7. Ben Folds - Song for the Dumped






- "Give me my money back, you bitch" - Perfect.


6. Pogues - Fairytale of New York






 -Yea, yea, it's a Christmas song, but it's great. She calls him a faggot, and he calls her a slut! What's not to like!?


5. Butch Walker - Best Thing That You Never Had






-There's no music video for this song, and this is an old performance because at his shows now, he doesn't even sing it. He turns the mic around, and the crowd sings the song in it's entirety. It's amazing, but not a great introduction if you've never heard the song.


4. Cake - I Will Survive






-Classic song, and Cake Nailed it.


3. OutKast - Hey Ya!






- This song might be the most dance-able anti-love song!



2. Justin Timberlake - Cry Me a River





-Man, I can just feel the attitude in this song. Don't cheat on Justin, because he's going to write a badass song about how dumb you are. *coughBritneycough*


1. Cee-Lo - Fuck You






-Like any other song could be #1. He says it all.


Some honorable mentions, that didn't quite make the top 10: Blondie - Heart of Glass, Nsync - Bye, Bye, Bye, Jazmine Sullivan - Bust Your Windows, Panic! at the Disco - I Write Sins Not Tragedies.

Like I said, there are 9,875,729,461 songs about breakups. Leave your favs in the comments & we'll jam them too!
