Clarissa Explains Her Son’s Nursery

Today brings you the latest entry into the “And Not a Single F— Was Given” Hall of Fame.

Clarissa Melissa Joan Hart introduces the world to her son’s nursery.

Ferguson would not be impressed.

Ferguson would not be impressed.

To be fair, it’s really nice as far as baby rooms go.

It's like Andy Warhol and Walt Disney mated.

It’s like Andy Warhol and Walt Disney mated.

Let’s call a spade a spade . . . I am actually just jealous of her 10-month-old son Tucker who gets to spend his days here, while my room has cobwebs under the bed that I am too lazy to sweep.

Also jealous of Melissa’s foxy husband. Who the f— would have thought Sabrina  Melissa could get him? She must have cast a spell!

You get yours girl!

You get yours girl!

Candy of the Kid Haters

Halloween’s a few months away, but I love candy so, you know, it’s on my mind now.

My fantasy

My fantasy

All of the above candies would be super cool to get, even the sugar-free gum! If someone gave me frigging After Eight Thin Mints, I would donate my kidney to them if they had renal failure.

HOWEVER, if I got certain candy I would severely doubt the giver’s commitment to Halloween. For example, what kid actually likes a Good & Plenty? More like Bad & Scant.

Two deceptive candies are Mounds and Almond Joys.

Looks like chocolate!

Looks like chocolate!

They look so delicious! One of them has nuts! Yum!

But they have f—ing coconut in them. What person under 48 likes coconut? Mounds and Almond Joys are the candy bar equivalent of an oatmeal raisin cookie. They look tasty and then you bite into one and cry tears of sadness.

Sometimes I DO feel like a nut. But never cocoNUT.

Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series: The Sophie’s Choice of Emmys

Oh my God, today all of the Emmy nominations were announced. Since I love TV more than I love bread and water, I am SO EXCITED.

Yahoooooo!

Yahoooooo!

And, let’s be honest, stressed. Because there are so many talented people nominated and only one can win. Yikes!

Perhaps the category that causes me the most anxiety is the aforementioned “Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.” Let’s discuss the nominees.

  • Bobby Cannavale as Gyp Rosetti, Boardwalk Empire
  • Jonathan Banks as Mike Ehrmantraut, Breaking Bad
  • Aaron Paul as Jesse Pinkman, Breaking Bad
  • Jim Carter as Mr. Carson, Downton Abbey
  • Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister, Game Of Thrones
  • Mandy Patinkin as Saul Berenson, Homeland

All of these men are f—ing awesome! I don’t even watch Homeland (no Showtime. Sorry folks, can only afford one premium cable channel and it’s HBO) and I didn’t finish season 3 of Boardwalk, but hello. Inigo Montoya.

Don't kill his father if you know what's good for you.

Don’t kill his father if you know what’s good for you.

Truth be told I want Carson to win because his eyebrows will save you if there is ever a flood. Just grab one and you will fly away!

Talk to me.

So serious and British!

If not him, then maybe Jonathan Banks because he might kill me otherwise (I’m only mid way through Breaking Bad season 4, no spoilers please!).

That's him totally making a call ordering a hit on me.

That’s him totally making a call ordering a hit on me.

So who do YOU want to win???

What the World Needs Now is Dan Cortese, Sweet Dan Cortese

Do you ever look around the room and go, “Where did it go? WHERE DID IT GO???” And you’re not talking about all your money, or your dignity, or your clothes. You’re talking about Dan Cortese’s career.

What a great hodge podge of styles the mid '90s brought!

What a great hodge podge of styles the mid ’90s brought!

I loved him back in the day because he was SO HANDSOME and silly and fun! Just like a male version of Jenny McCarthy!

But while Jenny McCarthy has by SOME God forsaken way managed to stay relevant–Dan Cortese has floated off to the mythical world of C-List celebrities, joined by Max Casella, Kellie Martin, and the original Becky on Roseanne.

Best

Neil Patrick Harris–please reboot your BFF’s career FAST!

Until now. Apparently Dan Cortese IS on TV as the host of Guinness World Records Gone Wild, no relation to Joe Francis. At least, that’s what it’s called on Wikipedia. TruTV refers to it as Guinness World Records Unleashed on their website.

The show concluded it’s first season in March, but it looks like ten more eps were ordered. THANK GOD. Because we all need more Dan Cortese in our life.

Happy to oblige.

Happy to oblige.

Sure, Dan looks like a man who still has a summer share at the Jersey Shore, but at least that means he’s probably really good at Skee ball , and God knows I need a new Slinky this year.

So thank you truTV for not being about reality and fulfilling my dreams instead!

Eye Will Save You!

Oh my God guys. REALLY bad news. The whole entire world is FLOODING. Total f—ing bummer. The cars are all ruined. The helicopters and planes and even HOT AIR BALLOONS have been confiscated by the same rich dicks who didn’t let the poor people go on the rafts when the Titanic sank.

The bitche let go!

Jack-she DOES let go.

What are we going to do???

Wait . . . who is that? An army of people who will rescue us from impending doom? But how? Can they fly? Are they mermaids/men who can transfer their special powers to us?

Um, no. Neither of those things.

They have big, beautiful, bushy EYEBROWS. And if we each grab one we can sail into safety.

So kidz-I present to you the people who you want to be with during a water-filled apocalypse. A REAL live league of extraordinary gentlemen/women.

Andy Rooney

Weeeee!

Weeeee!

America’s favorite curmudgeon may be dead, but those eyebrows have been deemed a national landmark.

J.R. Ewing

oil

His eyebrows are sharper than all of my kitchen knives.

Unfortunately, another set of brows that have entered the great beyond. HOWEVER, if you tell him you have relatives in Saudi Arabia who own like 2 zillion barrels of oil, he’ll probably fly back down from heaven, or sideways from Purgatory, or up from Hell (depends which Ewing you ask) so that he can create a Southfork Ranch of the Middle East.

Mr. Carson

Talk to me.

He’s got the stiff upper lip, but I’m more interested in those eyebrows!

Downton Abbey’s resident butler will keep order and class in this time of chaos. While we Americans will be fighting over cans of franks and beans, Carson will instill British traditions for refugees and order Mrs. Patmore to make delicious mincemeat pies. Just grab your most proper coat and you’ll be okay.

Frida Kahlo

So colorful!

So colorful!

In these dour times, we certainly need some artistic flair.

Bert

unibrow

Yes those stripes make you look thin.

You’d think Ernie would be more interesting company, but he has no eyebrows. Bert would keep us in line and force us to focus on the mundane, like collecting bottle caps and paper clips. We’d almost forget that our former home-Earth-is ruined!

Brooke Shields

Hair

Her hair is perfect EVERYWHERE.

As long as nothing gets in between Brooke and her Calvins, it’s perfectly okay to hitch a ride to one of those strong eyebrows.

Jennifer Connelly

Yesss

Yesss

Let’s hope she also saves David Bowie so that they can reenact scenes from Labyrinth.

Zachary Quinto

Tick and strong, just the way I like my eyebrows!

Thick and strong, just the way I like my eyebrows!

We need a handsome gay to keep us all afloat, style-wise. Plus he played Spock so maybe he remembers how to build a ship to get to Vulcan, his home planet?

So everyone–please print this list out and keep it in a safe place so that you know what to do in a flood!

Let’s Go Free Willy!

No, Free Willy is not my campaign to unleash the beast from Jon Hamm’s pants, though I can understand your confusion.

It may look like a dangerous anaconda, but it is actually quite friendly!

It may look like a dangerous anaconda, but it is actually quite friendly!

Free Willy, of course, is a motion picture about a kid and a killer whale. At one point it jumps over the boy.

TOTALLY looks real.

Let’s be honest, this is the only part that anyone remembers from the movie.

And today, Free Willy celebrates its 20th birthday–it was released in the US on July 16, 1993.

As you can expect, I saw it in the theater at least once, possibly two times. It’s not that I had a crush on the star Jason James Richter . . . .

Mullets were never my thing.

Mullets were never my thing, except on David Faustino.

It’s just that I was 13 and not a girl, but not yet a woman, and as such I wasn’t allowed to see a ton of Rated R movies like Cliffhanger and In the Line of Fire. So Free F—ing Willy it was.

Though you bet your ass if they re-released Free Willy in the theaters as they did that other https://thedvrfiles.com/2013/06/11/jurassic-park-is-20-today/ I’d totally be there, in case anyone is wondering.

Happy Birthday Corey Feldman!

Want to feel old? Corey Feldman turns 42 today.

His style, however, is ageless.

His style, however, is ageless.

While Feldman has become a bit of a joke the past decade or so, homeboy showed a ton of promise back in the day. He starred in a slew of great movies, including ones WITHOUT the other Corey (Haim, may he rest in peace).

My top pick from Feldman’s body of work is Stand By Me, which is my second favorite movie of all time behind only Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. By the way, can anyone tell me what kind of animal Goofy is?

His other career-making role, of course, is Mouth from The Goonies.

If after reading this brilliant blog post you want to keep on celebrating Corey’s birthday, turn on Teen Nick at 4pm EST today because they are airing Gremlins!

Whatever you do, just DON’T get him a Mogwai for his birthday–he’s got enough of those already.

No, R.I.P.D. is NOT about the Rhode Island Police Department

The other day I was walking through the subway station to catch my train and saw THIS amazing poster.

Cropped (2)OH MY GOD. I screamed. Quick, someone feed me a stuffed quahog because otherwise I am going to pass out and you’ll need a coffee cabinet to revive me.

Why, you ask? Ummmmm . . . because God has answered my prayers and He is FINALLY making a movie about the Rhode Island Police Department starring the DUDE no less.

And then I noticed the fine print.

Rest In PEACE Department??? What the flying f— is that??? How can you expect me to do anything in peace after you have teased me like this?

So you can guess where I WON’T be this Friday night.

Anyone want to head over to Rocky Point instead? Oh sh–, it closed 18 years ago. That’s about the time that Little Rhody native James Woods’ girlfriend was born!

F— it. Let’s just grab an Awful Awful at Newport Creamery.

Burger Bundles, the Original Sliders

Hey all!

It’s lunch-time, depending where you live. Yum! What are you going to eat? Are you going to patronize one of those fancy gastropubs where you can order overpriced items like truffle mac and cheese, caviar flavored water (knowing this world, it’s probably a thing), and rose petal-infused chicken sandwiches?

These are their version of nachos. Where's the chil???

These are their version of nachos. Where’s the chili???

Or maybe you’re cheap like me, and you just REALLY want a miniburger, and not any of those sliders I keep hearing about?

How about a Burger Bundle from Burger King?

Oh, this is definitely MY way.

Oh, this is definitely MY way.

This would be awesome, and so exciting–there is a BK near my apartment!

But bad news–I’ll need a time machine too because they were only on the menu in the late ’80s. WTF.

I’ll just imagine a better world for now where you could get three lil burgers for less than $2.

This Is Why I Want Kids

Kids are really useful sometimes. You can take them with you to the Boston Children’s Museum so you don’t look creepy. You can pretend you have one and order a Happy Meal without anyone giving you the side eye. You can use their sunscreen because it works better than adult sunscreen.

Best Happy Meal Toys EVER.

Best Happy Meal Toys EVER.

Another reason that kids are awesome is sometimes they say the most ADORABLE things ever. Who can forget the super cute cherub who back in 2006 told us that a certain man was injured . . . injured bad.

Squeal!
