Movie Reviews and Previews Pippy to present; Shelfy + Spittle? Remember when Pippy went to the Oscars with NSync to sing Music of My Heart? They should replay that clip while introducing him this year. Can you imagine how he’d react? He would f-cking lose it. (I couldn’t find the video online.

Movie Reviews and Previews Leo’s full face Yesterday in this article about Hayden Christensen, I posited that when men get full faces, they don’t ever get their faces back – a rare female advantage.
