George Glass
Poor Jan. So desperate. So underwhelming. Especially when compared to Marcia.
George Glass
Not to be confused with Jan Brady's fake beau, George Glass, Kristin Wiig uses the same name when she needs to make Jon Hamm jealous. Not that we blame her.
Male for hire
In The Wedding Date, Debra Messing gets herself a male escort to serve as a date to her sister's wedding. It's not a terrible idea, actually.

5 Reasons TV Prequels Are Better Than TV Reboots
With The Carrie Diaries and upcoming series like Bates Motel and Hannibal , TV is embracing the prequel. Here's why that beats the alternative.
1. Prequels fill in the gaps, while reboots mess with the plot.
AnnaSophia Robb plays Carrie Bradshaw in The Carrie Diaries.

We never learned that much about Carrie's backstory on Sex and the City — and that was OK. But the appeal of The Carrie Diaries is that it takes a story we already know and fills in the details we never got. Instead of scrubbing clean the Sex and the City we know and love (that is, the series and not the films that came after), the new show just enhances it by letting us know what happened before.

A fresh take is nice, but there's no need to mess with the original. Prequels leave the timelines intact (a few inconsistencies aside), and we don't have to deal with some whole new version of a favorite. The shows become completely separate entities that work as different parts of the same story, instead of overlapping one another. We don't need a fully reinvented Carrie Bradshaw. Speaking of...

Watch Manti Te'o Answer A Question About His Girlfriend After He Supposedly Knew It Was A Hoax
The Notre Dame athletic director says they were informed of the possibly hoax by Te'o on December 26. In January 3rd press conference Te'o responded to a question about his girlfriend.
Te'o's response focuses on the support system he has around him and how the sport helped him take his mind off things. The generic answer leaves the question open about whether he was speaking about dealing with the hoax or with the supposed death of his girlfriend at the time
TRANSCRIPT: "I think whenever you're in football, it takes your mind off a lot of things. You know, this team is very special to me, and the guys on it have always been there for me, through the good times and the bad times. I rarely have a quiet time to myself because I always have somebody calling me, asking, do you want to go to the movies. Coach is always calling me asking me, "Are you okay? Do you need anything?" I have three roommates, Zeke, Carlo and Robby Toma, who are always yelling at each other, who's going to play Call of Duty. I'm rarely by myself, and that's how I like it. I'm always around my guys, always around my family."

Detective Munch From "Law & Order" Is TV's Kevin Bacon
The characters from nearly all of your favorite TV shows, from The Simpsons to Lost to Seinfeld , can be traced back to Detective Munch of Law & Order: SVU . He knows everyone .
If you've been watching cop dramas over the past 20 years, then you've run into Detective John Munch at some point, played by Richard Belzer.
Source: en.wikipedia.org
The character started his law enforcement career on "Homicide: Life On The Street" back in 1993, and currently appears on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit", but he's shown up on a LOT of other shows as well.

From "Arrested Development" to "The X-Files" to friggin' "Sesame Street", Munch is the thread that ties a multitude of worlds together.
Which means all of your favorite characters know a guy who dated a girl who worked with a guy who met a girl who worked a bar that once served some people who know him. And other, far stranger connectons...

10 Terrible Gym Ads
Hate gyms and resolutions? Here you go. One ad — the worst one — is NSFW-ish.
NOW THAT WE'VE GOT YOUR ATTENTION, YOU BULLETHEAD MOOKS...
For Underground Fitness in Roswell, Georgia. Ad agency: Ogilvy Atlanta.
This is truly unbelievable (nipples have been airbrushed out).
Try our workout. You'll be reborn!—complete with umbilical chord. Push it, girl! No pain no gain, baby! Ad agency Road, Barcelona.
Hernia or Orgasm?
Not a terrible concept, but I wanted to get at least one male-focused ad in here.
The O-face or _____-face idea is so tired, though.
Ad agency: Mortierbrigade, Brussels.
Not a gym ad, obviously, but close enough.
It was part of a campaign for Men's Health in Germany.
Get the double meaning of the headline?
The magazine is all about men, and the only reason women workout is "all about men." There were two more executions with very similar visuals.

How Could Sergeant Brody Return To Homeland?
Damian Lewis is officially confirmed for Season 3. So, how exactly are they going to show him in the episodes?!
The third season of Homeland premieres Sept. 29 and guess who's coming back?! Even though it seems impossible, POW-turned-terrorist-turned-Congressman Nicholas Brody will return.
Here's how the writers might handle the plot line.
Realistically, they'll show Brody on the run.
Well, "run" is a strong word. Maybe some nice person who doesn't have access to a TV/phone/Internet will give the handsome would-be terrorist a ride.
Or maybe he'll escape into the woods and live there for a while.
These woods will have colorful animals, plant life and dancing.
That is, if they don't show him immediately captured and sent to jail.
There will be dancing there, too.

Two People Joked About The Manti Te'o Fake Girlfriend Hoax Over A Month Ago On Twitter
Well this is odd.
Starting back in early December, a twitter user named jay.R tweeted about his knowledge of the Manti Te'o "Lennay Kekua" fake girlfriend hoax. First he claimed that it was inspired by the movie and TV show "Catfish."
Source: @jayRahz
He then said that he knew who it was. He claimed that it was someone whose dad had a church. (Titus Tuiasosopo, the father of Ronaiah, who Deadspin pointed to as the perpetrator of the hoax, is a pastor.)
Source: @jayRahz
Jay then had a back and forth with someone who goes by the name C.Tuiotimariner where they acknowledged the hoax.

A few weeks later, still almost 10 days before it was revealed, jay.R again joked about the hoax.
