Hockey belongs to Canada, not you commissioner Gary Bettman. American. Lawyer.
I LOVE the two kids in this spot. I want to quit my job, go to Canada, and play pond hockey with them and their friends for fucking 10 hours every day (as long as we have two goalies, NO trashcans).
Look for cameos by P.K. Subban, Alex Ovechkin, and Steven Stamkos.
Thank you, Nike.

Not convinced that the old man could actually get up like that.
Look at Chris Paul get up! Usually, Paul's the one throwing alley-oops to guys like Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, not the one finishing above the rim. And when Clippers guards do dunk, it's Willie Green or Eric Bledsoe.
Now, Chris Paul's son is one of the most famous kids in the NBA. And the thing about kids is that they believe in what they know. If daddy's normally feeding the dunkers and not dunking, when he actually does dunk, it might be a little hard to believe. Last night, after the Clippers wrapped up their win over the Hornets, CP3 tried to get a little shine from Little Chris. Apparently, he didn't have much luck. Via Kevin Arnovitz's Twitter:

The Appalachia-set reality show has drawn some controversy from a West Virginian senator . Here's an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the show.
MTV
Remember how much Gov. Chris Christie hated Jersey Shore? Sight unseen, that is how much Sen. Joe Manchin III, a Democrat from West Virginia, hates MTV's upcoming show Buckwild, which is set in his state. Earlier this month, Manchin wrote a letter to MTV asking the network to pull the show. "Instead of showcasing the beauty of our people and our state, you preyed on young people, coaxed them into displaying shameful behavior…" he wrote in part.
Shameful behavior? Where?! Count me in! In the wake of Manchin's criticism, MTV opted not to send out the premiere for journalists to watch. MTV did offer BuzzFeed this exclusive behind-the-scenes footage introducing the cast discussing their romantic yearnings. It's not Jane Austen. But it's (perhaps uncharacteristically) quite sedate here, and if Shain isn't the the breakout star, then I have never seen a reality show (and I've seen many):
With Jersey Shore coming to an end, MTV is certainly looking to replace that phenomenon, which along the way brought linguistic innovations, record ratings for the network that made broadcasters jealous, a baby for one cast member, and rehab for another. Buckwild is also the latest installment in the "redneck reality" trend that's taking over certain segments of cable television (Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, Duck Dynasty, and the like), which, interestingly for these times, is also steeped in guns and hunting culture. (There looks to be a shooting scene in the Appalachia-set Buckwild trailer, and one of what I'm told is a potato launcher.)
Jersey Shore meets its maker Thursday night; long live Jersey Shore in Buckwild? It debuts Jan. 3 at 10 p.m., airing two half-hour episodes for six weeks.
I didn't know Christmas erotica was a thing. Apparently, neither did the people who read A Very Naughty Christmas and these other very sexy Christmas ebooks.
The Plot: "Stewart brings his sexy new girlfriend home for Christmas, but his family doesn't approve."
The Dismayed Reviewer: "Just about sex."
Via: barnesandnoble.com
The Plot(s): "This spicy holiday anthology features five separate stories from some of the biggest names in erotic romance. Please enjoy, but sensitive readers beware, some of the content is so HOT you might get singed."
The Dismayed Reviewer: "Some of the stories in this book were a lot more sex and less story. I really preferred the stories with more character build up and the sex as apposed [sic] to the stories that were simply straight up, in your face sex."
Via: amazon.com
The Plot: "Pediatrician Joanna Weston's looking forward to caring for the infants at The Birth Place. But one of her first patients is a baby girl — not born at the birth center, but abandoned on the porch of the ranch next door. Joanna is outraged when she finds out her handsome neighbor is the child's deadbeat dad. Until she sees the tender concern he shows the daughter he didn't know he had."
The Dismayed Reviewer: "First of all, this is not really a Christmas book. Yes, they have a Christmas tree, presents, and Swedish cookies in the last chapter. (Ok, the tree does show up a little earlier.)"
Via: amazon.com
The Plot: "After four years, Lori Dayton is returning to Safford, Arizona to spend Christmas with her family and face her past. She has reservations about seeing Dean Wilcox again. But time hasn’t changed her. She still loves Dean more than ever. Time heals all things… Yeah right! Lori still heats Dean’s blood like no other woman. Even after all she’s done, he can’t resist the urge to take her in his arms, feel her body pressed to his. He wants her naked against him, just like before."
The Dismayed Reviewer: "I purchased this book based on a glowing review on Amazon but after reading it I am once again discouraged by the way many authors insist on using vulgar language to describe lovemaking."

She and her gay ex-husband turned their unique relationship into a sitcom. Now in its second season, Happily Divorced is a whole new showcase for the Nanny star.
Image by TV Land
It's been nearly 20 years since Fran Drescher made her debut as "the flashy girl from Flushing" on The Nanny. While the '90s sitcom lives on in reruns, Drescher has gone on to more work in both acting and activism. She now stars on Happily Divorced, a series she created alongside her ex-husband (and Nanny co-creator) Peter Marc Jacobson. Inspired by their lives, it's the story of a woman who learns her husband of 18 years is gay.
LP: Happily Divorced is a traditional sitcom in many ways, but it deals with less traditional subject matter.
FD: Yeah, I think that at this stage in my career, if I'm producing something, I'd like it to have some social value in addition to making people laugh.
LP: So many sitcoms now are single-camera -- what made you want to do another multi-camera show?
FD: You know, when you perform to a proscenium like a play, it's a completely different energy. You're working with a live audience. It's usually a much harder laugh. And that's my style of comedy. I like to strive toward big yuks and get an immediate audience reaction, and I'm used to working multi-cameras. I've worked single in film and done a little bit of TV with single, but I think that the tone of the single-camera comedy is completely different. I prefer the multi-cam, but I'm just happy that there's so many scripted comedies out there now. It's a nice change from all the reality.

LP: How is Fran the character different from you?
FD: I'm not as dependent on my ex-husband in the way that Fran is. We're very, very close, and we're like family, and I would certainly call him first if I needed anything or anyone. Our lives aren't intertwined in the way that theirs are. They really haven't experienced being single in the way Peter and I have been able to, and I think that that helps make me a more well rounded person. It's hard to see where the marriage ended and the divorce began with them, because they're still living together. She needs a little distance to help define her as an individual outside of that relationship, and I've really carved that path for myself for many years already, so I don't need to prove anything to me or to the world.
LP: How do you manage to find humor in the less funny aspects of life -- divorce, for example?
FD: I think that that's part of what I do. I wrote the New York Times Bestseller Cancer Schmancer, and that had a lot of humor in it. It took me four drafts to do it successfully, but I did. I think that it's a challenge that is really cathartic. Of course, my situation with Peter really wasn't exactly like the character in the show, because he came out after we divorced, and that wasn't really why we divorced, and he was very opposed to the divorce. So it made it painful to me to do something that I wanted for me, but because he was so against it -- whereas in this show, he was the one who dumped his orientation on her, 18 years into the marriage. She actually was the one that had no choice. So it's a little bit different. She had more to get past than I did.
This is how you do diplomacy.

Youtube artist Lance Ford , the man responsible for the Hobbit/Goonies mashup, has done it again. This time it's the audio from the “Django Unchained” trailer with visuals from “Blazing Saddles”. Is there anything better than a well-executed mashup? I think not.
