Would you really want to live in the Full House house?


So last week the blogosphere reported that the Tanner family abode featured in Full House was up for sale.

Babies of the 80s everywhere got excited that they could quit their jobs, break their current leases, and relocate to San Fran in order to live the dream of sleeping in the attic where Uncle Jesse once rested his head.

Sadly, it turns out, the Full House house isn't actually for sale. Some other house is, that hasn't been featured on TV.

Bummer, dude.

But for anyone who got overly excited about the prospect of buying the Tanner home, I've thought up five reasons why it probably wouldn't be so ideal to live there:

1. There's a car in the kitchen.

2. There's a douche with a woodchuck puppet who refuses to move out of the alcove.

3. Papouli's ghost is haunting it.

4. Two words: Kimmy. Gibbler.

5. the Beach Boys keep showing up for impromptu jam sessions.

Anyone have any other ideas?

Betty White sells me on Snickers


So the Super Bowl happened last night. I didn't watch.

To be honest, I don't even know how football works. I faked my way through it during grade nine gym class. And not very well. I seem to recall a healthy dose of anger directed at me when I would randomly throw the ball on the ground, pass to someone on the other team, and generally look confused.

All that to say, I think the best thing to come out of last night's Super Bowl is the above Snickers ad, featuring the incomparable Betty White.

I mean, I don't completely agree with the message of the ad. Because if someone called me Betty White, I'd totes take it as a compliment.

And guaranteed, she's a better football player than I am.

Monday deliciousness


Well holy damn, look at that.

Twilight star Kellan Lutz is all gorgeous and muscley and abtastic as the new model of Calvin Klein underwear.

I don't quite get the hunched over pose, but I'm not going to challenge it too much. I'm just going to thank whoever's responsible for making this shoot happen.

"I was walking around the whole stage not caring I was wearing anything but the underwear, because I felt comfortable in them," Lutz says in the delicious behind-the-scenes video below.

Um, of course you felt comfortable. You are nothing but muscle.

And while we're on the subject, how do I get a job as your official muscle water spritzer? It looks awful fun, and I've already got a spray bottle I can use.


"I had to step away from my candy, because I have a candy drawer," Lutz explains of his preparation for the shoot. "And I just wake up every morning, get the gummy bears; go to sleep, gummy bears. So yeah, I kind of had to be good and put those away."

I'd like to point out that I bought a huge 810g bag of gummy bears yesterday to eat while watching Dear John, and polished off almost the entire thing within two hours.

Needless to say I will not be modeling Calving Klein underwear publicly anytime soon.

So for now, enjoy all the deliciousness Kellan Lutz has to offer.

Happy Monday!


While we're talking deliciousness . . .


. . . I came across this promo photo of Scott Wolf for his TV series V the other day and literally stared it at for about five minutes.

After all these years, it's still so easy to get lost in Bailey Salinger's eyes.

Sure he's 41, married with child. But that just means we can act out more adult fantasies, right?

Quick hits, in case you missed it


So You Think You Can Dance will return to FOX as a summer show, with its seventh season premiering May 27th. That's all well and good, but personally I'm still waiting for a season six tour. I want Jakob Karr in my bedro -- er, city.

Nelly Furtado has been cast as a zealous hockey fan in a new movie musical called Score: A Hockey Musical. The film, shooting in Toronto, also stars Olivia Newton John. It's about damn time somebody made hockey gay enough for me to enjoy!

Rumour has it Joe Jonas will be cast as a young Tommy Walker for Brothers & Sisters upcoming two-part flashback episode. I disapprove so very much. But as long as Miley Cyrus isn't cast as a young Kitty Walker, I think I'll be able to breathe and accept it. [Update! Jonas is out due to scheduling conflict; random guy is in].

In a tragic case of "she's way too hot for you," Kristen Bell is engaged to marry Dax Shepard. Sit, reflect, weep.

MTV Canada's Whistler-based reality show Peak Season will premiere stateside on VH1 on February 14th. Perfect Valentine's Day activity for those couples who find morning beers romantic.

Look of the week: Pink


Pink brought equal parts glamour and rock and roll to her red carpet look for Sunday's Grammy Awards.

The Glitter In The Air singer donned a colour-blocked Tony Ward Haute Couture gown. Any mermaid-like resemblances were intentional, a tip of the hat to her splish-splashing performance later in the evening.

Pink accessorized with a Judith Leiber clutch and Neil Lane diamond jewelry.

And of course she had the best accessory of all on her arm -- that hot hot super hot husband of hers Carey Hart. Boy cleans up real nice!

Jennifer Aniston isn't desperate for attention. No, of course not.


It's official.

Jennifer Aniston will literally appear on any magazine cover that will have her.

This time around she takes the cover of March's Architectural Digest.

Because in addition to playing Rachel Green in every rom com she can line up, she's apparently got a lot to say about -- you guessed it! -- architecture.

In the mag's pages Aniston discusses her house, which went through a two and a half year renovation.

"I entertain for a living, and I entertain," she says. "The house has a rather glamorous, old-fashioned Hollywood quality. I can just imagine the Rat Pack stopping by; someone is playing the piano, and people are laughing in the next room."

Fascinating.

Next up: Look for Aniston on the cover of April's Canadian Pizza Magazine.

Hot mess of the week: Britney Spears


Britney Spears showed up at the last minute to Sunday's Grammy Awards, where her hit Womanizer was nominated for Best Dance Recording.

Unfortunately the paparazzi caught her arrival, in this unfortunate-looking getup.

Spears donned a see-through Dolce & Gabbana dress and bodysuit that, despite being skimpy, somehow made her look frumpy.

I'd also recommend a little more effort with the shampoo and comb next time she's planning to hit the red carpet.

Oh Britney Spears. You hot mess.

CTV pushes new CanCon post-Olympics


CTV hopes to jumpstart a number of new Canadian series by premiering them after the network's extensive Olympics coverage wraps.

The Bridge, a cop drama coproduced with CBS, will premiere on March 5, despite the fact that the American network has yet to set a premiere date.

The network has successfully drawn audiences to Flashpoint, even when airing out of simulcast with CBS.

Also debuting post-Games are Brent Butt's new sitcom Hiccups, and Dan For Mayor, starring Corner Gas' Fred Ewanuick. Both bow March 1.
