So last night’s episode of 30 Rock, “Hard Ball” was comedy night done right. (TV Squad concurs) Suck it, backlashers. Too bad about The Office, though. Peeeee U, that show is beginning to stink, new or not. Fingers crossed for Andy Barker, PI.

• The sexiest, toughest, motorcycle-ridingest, backyard-bar-b-q’ingest, Limoncello-shootin’est, real-man’s-manin’est man in America (according to People) George Clooney has a little work done. Because he’s also a delicate, wilting flower.

• Mischa Barton smoking pot, pot, pot! A hand-rolled ciggy, you say?! Take a good look at her pulling on that hog. Now look again. And one more time.

• Saw Albert Maysles’ 1975 documentary on the Bouvier-Beale ladies of East Hampton Grey Gardens over the weekend. Like American Movie, it’s haunting, and hysterical, and strangely inspiring.

• Tea Brids: Looking for oodles of pictures of beautiful girls and women sipping Oolong and Darjeeling Tea? Look no further! Or, tea not your cup of tea? Try Women With Wine! (via kottke)

• Suyane Moreira: Dark? yep. Exotic? yep. A little mannish? um, kinda.
