My daughter is painfully cute. Sure, every dad thinks this, but I happen to have empirical evidence on my side. And since I also live in L.A., my wife and I get questioned regularly about when we’re going to get an agent for her and start her on the road to child stardom. Answer: not in [...]
The special guest line-up for this past weekend's Big Apple Comic Con read a lot like a wish list for VH1's The Surreal Life: classic TV-show refugees (Different Strokes' Todd Bridges, Sil...
To: Jon and Kate Gosselin, tiresome fake celebrities From: Mitch Berg, blissfully above it all. Re: The Lowered Bar Dear Mr. and Mrs. Gosselin, I’ve never watched Jon And Kate Plus Eight, because I think you are a couple of whores - or worse, pimps, whoring out your children to the pathetic, toothless johns that are our celebrity-stricken, illiterate, [...]
On a cold, dreary, wet weekend the folks at Wizard Universe got their geek love on in NYC by hosting their annual Big Apple Comic-Con event at the Pier 92/94 convention center. I dragged myself out of bed and overcame my fear of driving to NY (not so much the drive, it’s the parking nightmare)) [...]
Award season is rapidly approaching, and Nice Price or Crack Pipe wants you to arrive at the red carpet shouting oh, what a feeling! Given that yesterday's tasty Lambo garnered a healthy 80% Nice Price vote (and for the record, that was a nice price) it looks like all is forgiven for Tuesday's Chevette Diesel debacle. Let's say you are participating in a VH1 reality program. Based on your cutting...

If Obamacare passes and I have to go to the hospital, I’d have to wait until 2258 to finally see my doctor.* Dude, if I was a doctor under Obamacare, I’d shoot myself.* If we’d have had Obamacare when I was younger, today, I would be Todd Bridges.
So we're hearing there's something called Lollapalooza this weekend...and with a goofy name like that it's hard to imagine anything like that ever being successful. That's why we're getting our Stormtrooper gear all shined up to head out to the Chicago Comic Con this weekend in Rosemont. The usual gaggle of ex-wrestlers, comic book artists and sci-fi D-listers are going to be out there, of course,...
I get it, put Gary Coleman on anything and you'll get eyeballs to look. Poor Todd Bridges doesn't have the same "Cabbage Patch" warm and fuzzy 80s appeal. I'm sure the cast of Happy Days, Webster or Corey Haim might have the same effect (ok, maybe not Corey). Heck, most anniversaries are artificial signposts anyway. Why not have the excuse to do some crazy nostalgic work? This campaign from...
You may not want to run up to legendary American TV actor Todd Bridges and yell “What’choo talkin’ bout, Willis'” (in case you were born in the 90’s, Bridges played Gary Coleman’s older brother Willis on the historic TV series “Diff’rent Strokes” — the molestation episode is classic!) For the past few years, Bridges [...]
