Some kind soul has placed this trashy masterpiece on YouTube in its entirety.
Shut Up Already, Damn.
All the feelings.
This is perfect in every way. So long, Stefon. Our hearts will go on.
I have no words. Totally speechless.
The song playing during this dance routine, which was used to fill time while voting was being tabulated at the first semifinal of Eurovision, was composed by Kleerup. It is pretty fantastic.
If you happen to be in and around Cincinnati, and enjoy drinking and spelling, then I encourage you to come to this tomorrow night. I’m one of the hosts and it will be a great time.
It’s $5 to compete and you get a shot before each round you stay in the game. Winner gets fabulous prizes and free entry into our big championship tournament next month.

I love Eurovision because of shit like this. Here are two dudes from Montenegro rapping in astronaut costumes, while a chick wearing alien (?) fairy wings sings with them. Also, dubstep.
Eurovison Song Contest 2013 Preview
I put together a little preview of this year’s Eurovision Song contest. Get familiar with this year’s participants before the first semifinal begins tomorrow.
#GPOY. Julia Ormond on last night’s Mad Men.
CHICAGO! Go to this! I will be there and I’m really excited about it. I would go to both shows if that wouldn’t come off as weird and creepy.
CHICAGO!
If you can believe it, because I can’t, I have NEVER performed in your lovely city. I had something scheduled somewhere years ago but had to cancel due to someone else’s illness. (Aren’t people a drag?)
Anyway - more than any other city, I hear from you guys, “COME TO CHICAGO!” Well, I am coming.
TO THE COMEDY HIDEOUT SATURDAY MAY 4th at 7pm & 10pm
But it’s just for ONE night on my book tour! I am doing stand-up, most of it will be new to you. And the great Book Cellar people are selling books before and after the 7pm show and before the 10pm show. I am signing each and every book after ever show, giving hugs, taking pictures, etc.
The shows are at the very intimate COMEDY HIDEOUT. I heard it’s awesome from lots of other comedians and due to my full time writing job, I can’t take a billion weekends off a year to do 5 nights at clubs.
So, certain cities like Chicago, where I know I have a groovy little following, I figured you guys could come out and support me at a more intimate, “alt” venue.
The first show is ALMOST sold out. So don’t delay. The second show could use some help. Now if I can’t find 150 people for each show in a comedy town that always begs me to come - like Chicago, I give up.
This isn’t meant to sound pathetic - instead motivating! It’s so hard to promote on Twitter, FB and Tumblr because you feel as though you are DRIVING EVERYONE CRAZY and then as my plane leaves Chicago on Sunday, I know I will get a tweet that says, “Will you ever come to Chicago?”
So, show up folks. I am not coming back again until next year. So do this. For America. And yes, if you’ve heard me on podcasts but aren’t sure if you will like my stand-up, you will love me live. I promise. I can say that because what else am I going to say? I suck? I don’t. I love doing stand-up and it’s always a fun, fun show, very different than anything I am ever allowed to do on TV. It’s more personal.
So get your tickets, gang. The are only $15. I’m like a saint over here, making sure you can afford to get in.
After listening to this song several times since it was first released, I’ve decided this is her “Controversy.”
This is my official fight song. I think it always has been.
I just finished reading Jen Kirkman’s wonderful book, I Can Barely Take Care of Myself: Tales from a Happy Life Without Kids (go buy it now). I have decided that I might have to buy multiple copies of it to hand out to people who ask me why I don’t want to have kids. Maybe I can take a stack with me when I see Jen at the Hideout in Chicago next weekend and ask her to sign them, “Leave Kelly the fuck alone.”
Bill Pullman’s hair in Spaceballs is really pretty, you guys.
