While You Were Sleeping, Cookie Monster Was Teaching Kids About Cookie Abstinence

The Simpsons theme park now has a Duff Beer factory, remains greasy

Back in June, we got an unexpectedly early first look at The Simpsons theme park at Universal Studios in Orlando; disappointingly, it was just a bunch of fast food shops. The site’s developers have continued with their grand plan of bringing Springfield to life as a glorified food court, and here’s the bouncy video to prove it. You can now grab Homer’s brew of choice on tap at the Duff Beer Garden or pick up an ‘Ice Cream Conan’ at the Lard Lad Doughnuts stand. Start planning your heart attack holiday now!

Cookie Monster did a cover of Icona Pop’s ‘I Love It’ about desperately wanting cookies but waiting, adults giggle inappropriately

A year or so after teaching children the value of sharing with his Carly Rae Jepsen cover ‘Share It Maybe’, Sesame Street‘s resident fiend Cookie Monster has a new lesson for the kiddies, set to the chart-topping strains of Icona Pop’s ‘I Love It’. It’s titled ‘Me Want It (But Me Wait)’, and aims to teach young’uns to maturely ignore those tingly unsatisfiable cravings that they regularly get deep in their loins. Also, something about cookies.

Of course, there are also dancing chickens.

The trailer for James Gandolfini’s final movie role will probably make you sad, even though it’s kinda funny

When Sopranos superstar James Gandolfini passed away so suddenly in June, he left behind an endlessly rewarding treasure trove of beloved roles. His last role looks like it’ll be another typically memorable addition to all those warm, tough guys.

Written and directed by Nicole Holofcener (Lovely & Amazing, Friends With Money), Enough Said follows a recent divorcee (Julia Louis Dreyfus) as she makes a romantic move on some kind-hearted dude she meets at a party (James Gandolfini), before finding out that he’s the ex-husband of her new best friend (Catherine Keener). Cue awkward old people dating shenanigans.

This would be a good date night option with your mum.

Lindsay Lohan should be a late night talk show host forever

According to reports, the endlessly troubled star did a pretty good job filling in for Chelsea Handler on last night’s episode of Chelsea Lately. We didn’t watch it ’cause Foxtel is for rich people, but this completely out-of-context gif from the episode totally convinces us:

Uh, what?
