That’s So Fetch – A Pop Culture Blog

If you’re like me, you love watching episodes of your favorite TV shows for free on Hulu. The quality is better than YouTube, and it’s great for those of us who don’t have can’t afford DVR. The only downside is that ABC shows are unavailable…until now.

Popular streaming video website Hulu has teamed up with Disney to provide full-lenth episodes from ABC, SoapNet, and ABC Family. Some of the shows to be added include Lost, Scrubs, Ugly Betty, and Grey’s Anatomy. Select Disney movies will also be available.

“(The Disney-Hulu deal) is not good news for YouTube,” said James McQuivey, an analyst at Forrester Research. “Any hope of creating a professional-content business has probably disappeared.” A YouTube spokesman issued this positive-spin statement: “More content coming online in more places is a win for consumers and provides further validation of the growth of the online video market.”

This is great news. If it wasn’t for Hulu, I probably would never see an episode of The Office – and I sure as hell ain’t paying $30 for the DVDs. Those days are over.

Have you guys tried to rent a DVD recently? It’s awful. Drive there, hope they have it. You have to return it. Long story short, I don’t rent the hard copy of anything. Apple TV is where it’s at.

Lady GaGa shows a sense of humor and claims that her mother refers to her as “GaGa”. She’s crazy, but we love it. Must-see interview below.

She was on some British show hosted by some dude named Paul O’Brady, and I must say that this might be the best live performance I’ve seen her do. She’s on top of her game.

I honestly could watch this video without audio and it would almost have the same effect. She’s just interesting to watch – but in a train wreck kind of way. But not an actual train wreck, that’s too degrading and sounds insulting…maybe like a miniature train wreck. You know those small trains on tracks that nerds have in their parents’ basement. I make fun of others to feel better about myself.

Twitter has changed everything from a celebrity/normal people interaction standpoint. I just recently started following Paris Hilton, and I must say that she single-handedly makes it worth having an account.

She twitters literally ever hour or so, and not that I care what Paris Hilton is doing 24/7, but she posts a lot of pictures (top) – and as TSF readers know, I have an inexplicable crush on the heiress. I don’t even like tall blonde chicks, yet T Swift and P Hilton are high on my list.

The other is Shaquille O’Neal. He does a lot of updates from the road and offers free tickets to fans by telling them where he’s located, “The first to find me at [random store] gets two free tickets to tonight’s game”.

I took this picture on the subway Tuesday morning. This businessman on his Blackberry doesn’t want to catch The Swine Flu on the New York City public transit. Nice surgical mask, ass.

I can’t decide if he’s retarded or a genius. I just don’t touch shit on the subways regardless, Swine Flu or not.

I need a good caption for this picture…any ideas?

STREET SWEEPER SOCIAL CLUB

Tom Morello made a name for himself as the guitarist for Rage Against The Machine, a rap/rock band who set the bar for a genre and is still to this day one of the most respected bands of this generation. He has been named to multiple Top 10 guitarists lists for his unique style and groundbreaking technique.

After Rage’s breakup in 2000, Morello and his band mates, sans lead singer Zack de la Rocha, formed Audioslave with Chris Cornell, and released 3 critically-acclaimed studio albums in the process. Since then, Morello has released a couple of solo albums – none of which people have cared about.

His latest project, Street Sweeper Social Club, carries some intrigue. Morello has teamed up with former The Coup rapper Boots Riley to release a rock/rap record set for release in June.

“It’s revolutionary party jams,” Morello said in a press release posted on the band’s MySpace. “It’s got huge steamroller riffs combined with depth, charge, funk, while Boots unloads clip after clip of incendiary rhymes rich with satire and venom.”

Yes, Tom Morello is a nerd, hence his political science degree from Harvard … but he’s still a badass.

Take a list to their first single,”Fight! Smash! Win!”, below:

This project looks good on paper, but it just doesn’t work and has been executed poorly. Sounds like they need the help of a seasoned producer.

Real Life Twitter video … hilarity ensues.

Green Day has announced the dates and cities for their 2009 tour.

Gossip Girl stars Chace Crawford and Ed Westwick might be breaking up.

Hollywood Tuna just realized that Mean Girls star Lacey Chabert is hot…about 5 years late, dudes. (TSF’s #1 hottest former child star)

I hate to admit it, but I recognize all of the VIDEO GAME CHARACTERS on this Top 10 Sexiest World of Warcraft Characters list. I had two 70s. Don’t tell my friends. Wait, I have no friends.

So I got invited to Sirius Radio last week to make a guest appearance on the radio show “Cocktails With Patrick” on Cosmo radio, which is channel 111 on Sirius and is the official station of Cosmopolitan Magazine.

It’s basically a show where chicks call in to this dude named Patrick, and can ask him (a straight guy) questions about relationships or other general inquiries.

I got to wear clothes that were too nice for me and pretend I’m a lot cooler than I am in a super nice building in midtown Manhattan. We talked a lot about TSF, which was nice.

They invited me on to talk about “Murses” a.k.a. Man Purses and relationships. I honestly don’t know why they let me in the door – your guess is as good as mine. I’ve officially sold out.

His show is very entertaining, so if you have Sirius/XM, listen to it at 5-8pm EST on channel 111.
