LONDON () -- Burn the bills and pass the bullion: We're going to Harrods. More on BAC There was a time when hoarding gold bars was a pastime left to the moneyed gentry, tinfoil-hat-wearing conspiracy-minded cabin dweller and Y2K shelter suppliers. When the global economy melted down faster than Ed McMahon's retirement watch in a Cash4Gold blast furnace (too soon'), good ol' AU became a shimmering...

... do different things that will be shared virally. Cash4Gold's Superbowl ad featuring MC Hammer and Ed McMahon had them both sending themselves up and was brilliantly funny: The likes of Christopher Walken and Eric Cartman are maybe a bit edgy, especially the latter, but I'd love to see more of this sort of thing from brands. My own personal wish would be for a version by John and Edward or...

If things don't work out for Project Runway winner Christian Soriano in the fashion biz, he might want to consider a full-time gig as a talk show diva. As the number one guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show today, Christian was fierce, fun and oh-so-comfy that at times I thought Ms. O had her own little Ed McMahon or Andy Richter... but with a lot more style. Oprah devoted the show to reality TV...

... prize money in my speeches? Was I supposed to get a check back in 2005 when I won the first time? Ed McMahon’s dead, so now what? Unbelievable!) Remember, vote for your mayor on Tuesday. Vote “Yes!” And speaking of Yes, this week’s bootleg is an audio rip of the band’s 9012Live concert film (1985), directed by Steven Soderbergh four years before he made his first feature film, Sex, Lies,...

Carnac would hold the sealed envelope to his outrageously decorated turban and...

... not shy to call someone out on the lazy choice to use Photoshop in lieu of an actual drawing. When Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, and Billy Mays died back in June, Matt whipped up a parody of the tired and lazy celebrity-at-the-pearly-gates trope , which turned out to be a sad premonition of things to come .
