YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT GLEE
On the hunt for a new TV show to get addicted to, I stumbled upon Glee, the newest comedy from Fox centered around a high school musical choir. Unlike the played out Disney High School Musical series, Glee is actually entertaining with great music and an adult sense of humor. Although appealing to and most likely aimed at high school students, it’s a show that adults can thoroughly enjoy as well.
The pilot is availablefor free on Hulu, and is an enjoyable way to spend 43 minutes of your free time. It’s witty and inspired – a John Hughes movie meets Mean Girls kind of vibe. Think Cady Herron and Regina George in a show choir. The music is fun and it’s a great deviation from shitty reality shows and unscripted content the major networks are spewing out these days.

Glee premieres September 16 on Fox, but you can catch the pilot on Hulu:
TSF THOUGHTS OF THE DAY
I’ve never really done a “Thoughts of the Day” post per say, but I wanted to talk about a few things that I have been discussing on my Twitter today. I will most likely start doing “Thoughts of the Day” on a regular basis, but join the discussion on Twitter before it makes it to the site.
EMMA WATSON IS HOT?
Emma Watson is the 19-year-old actress known for her role as Hermione in the Harry Potter series of films. I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t give two shits about Harry Potter or any of those long-ass books, but since this chick just turned nineteen, I don’t feel too bad about not realizing her hotness sooner. She’s aging extremely well, and TSF will be actively monitoring her hotness for future posts. Maybe it’s the accent?
Video evidence:
ED HARDY SHIRTS ARE ATROCIOUS
Look at that disgusting shirt. We’ve all seen them, and now Jon Gosselin (of Jon & Kate Plus 8) wears them on a daily basis and is actually hanging out with Ed Hardy clothing designer Christian Audigier. These shirts and every piece of clothing in this line is absolutely hideous, and I want to add it to my Top 10 Chick Repellents list. Ever thought about buying one of these shirts? Don’t. It’s my job to tell you when something is fugly, and you’d look like an assclown with one on. Trust me.
Jon Gosselin (right) is rumored to be designing a line of children’s clothing for Audigier. Because the estranged adulterer father of 8 children with no background in clothing design is the best option line launch. The tone of my writing doesn’t translate through the internet, but I am being facetious.

YOUR DAILY LINKS
Model Marisa Miller did a spread for GQ and the full picture is too racy just to plaster on the front page of a family-friendly website. That’s just something I don’t do. It’s the kind of picture you print off and cry yourself asleep to on a nightly basis. Click here to see the full-sized image.
If you’ve ever wanted to see Lady GaGa’s ass, here’s your chance – or if you if you’ve ever wondered what girls think about Lady Gaga vs. Katy Perry, here’s some thoughts.
I am linking to this mainly so I could say this: ESPN sideline reporter Erin Andrews took balls to the chin, a baseball that is.
Scarlett Johansson in provocative clothing for an ad campaign. Nothing to get excited about, but something to look at none-the-less.
The best commercial of the year, and it’s not even close:

NEW SONGS FOR YOUR iPOD (07.14.09)
LUPE FIASCO
“SHINING DOWN”
“Shining Down” is the latest track from Chicago-based rapper Lupe Fiasco. A song that further solidifies him as one of the best rappers in the game right now. Get it and add it to your summer mix and play it for your friends. They’ll think you’re cool. I promise.
THE AVETT BROTHERS
“I AND LOVE AND YOU”
The Avett Brothers are the best folk band of the 21st century and it’s a shame that you aren’t listening to them. Saying that you are missing out would be an understatement. “I and Love and You” is from their July 7th EP release of the same name. I could only find a live version for this post, but do yourself a favor and download the studio version. If you enjoy folk music at all, this song should be on your iPod.
A more polished sound doesn’t distract from the raw talent of this North Carolina-based trio. This is definitely one of the better songs they’ve recorded. Discover more about The Avett Brothers on TSF here.

NEW ARCTIC MONKEYS SINGLE, U.S. TOUR
British foursome Arctic Monkeys have released the first single for their highly-anticipated third album, Humbug. Although grossly under-appreciated in the states, the Monkeys set records in the UK with their 2006 release, Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not, which is the fastest selling debut album in British history and went on to sell over 4 million copies in the UK alone.
Often referred to as the “21st Century Beatles” by That’s So Fetch, Arctic Monkeys have set the bar for Y-generation rock ‘n roll. TSF named Whatever People Say as the 3rd best album of the 21st century, and their sophomore title, Favourite Worst Nightmare, isn’t far behind.
With their reputation preceding them, the Monkeys have now released “Crying Lightning”, the first single from Humbug, co-produced by Josh Homme of Queens of the Stoneage fame.
Over two years since their last LP release, “Crying Lightning” is a major deviation and a maturation for Alex Turner and crew. It’s a calm-downed version of Arctic Monkeys, and a preview of a more psychedelic record attributed to the band’s heightened interest in Jimi Hendrix at the time of recording.
Listen to the song below. Also available for download on iTunes.
In conjunction with the release of the new single, Arctic Monkeys have announced a September-October U.S. tour:

MEGAN FOX NEW MOVIE TRAILER, BOOBS
The trailer has been released for Jennifer’s Body, the latest movie in Megan Fox’s attempt to try and prove to us all that she can be the lead in a major motion picture. While she may be as hot as Angelina, she ain’t got the acting chops to be an Angelina Jolie. Call me crazy.
Jennifer’s Body stars Fox, Amanda Seyfried (Mean Girls), Adam Brody (The O.C.), and Amy Sedaris. It’s the sophomore effort from screenwriter Diablo Cody who brought you bundles of annoyance in the teen-girl-gets-pregnant indie hit Juno in 2007.
“A newly possessed cheerleader (Fox) turns into a killer who specializes in offing her male classmates. Can her best friend put an end to the horror?” A plot that will lead me to maybe catch this on a premium cable channel or the edited version on TBS when I’m bored on a Tuesday night two years from now.
Jennifer’s Body hits theaters September 18. Check out the trailer below (NSFW):
