We at BestWeekEver may not be big on blatant shilling, but today, we’re talking PUPPIES. FOR ADOPTION. And quasi-famous ones at that! Today on Big Morning Buzz Live [VIDEO], some of the Puppy Bowl’s finest athletes stopped by, turning the VH1 headquarters into Squeetown, USA. Stop everything you’re doing and get some puppy goodness in your life.

It’s hard to believe it’s been almost five years since the always-goofy, ever-fabulous Anna Nicole Smith left this world. From busting on the scene as Playboy‘s 1993 Playmate of the Year to workin’ it in B&W as the Guess girl to her love of rich octogenarians to the hysterical Anna Nicole Show, the baby-voiced blonde didn’t live a dull moment.

Today would have been Anna’s 44th birthday, so take a moment (or several) to celebrate the Bombshell Supreme’s finer moments:

With the exception of his recent dramatic (in our opinion, brilliant) performance in 50/50, we’ve grown accustomed to seeing Joseph Gordon-Levitt participating in happy dance flash mobs and doing round-off back handsprings every chance he gets. In The Dark Knight Rises, JGL plays a hardened Gotham detective hired to catch Batman. While that may seem to be a stretch for this fun-loving hunk, these shots from the set have convinced us he and his furrowed brow are fully prepared for the role. Like we needed to be any more excited for this movie.

Dear readers, we’ve given you nearly two weeks to recover from The Ultimate Cats In Halloween Costumes GIF Wall. The time has come to present America’s other favorite domestic cuddle buddy in equally as hilarious and constraining get-ups. While cats tend to lose all coordination and dish out the death stares when squeezed in a costume, doggie reactions range from embarrassed to relentlessly obedient to full-on hamtown. Check out the Ultimate GIF Wall after the jump, and don’t think for a second we’d skimp on Bassets and Corgis.

In case you share our illness and can’t get enough dogs in costume, be sure to check out Michelle Collins’ interviews with the best & brightest pups at the 21st Annual Tompkins Square Park Dog Parade.

Because the Internet is full of masochists (ourselves not withstanding), the stills and video of Nancy Grace‘s nip slip on last night’s episode of Dancing With The Stars just weren’t torturous enough. For that very reason, today became “a day we’ll leave off the resume” at the BWE GIF Headquarters. Behold The Ultimate Nancy Grace Nip Slip GIF Wall. Send our apologies in advance to your eyeballs (and libido).

Seriously whaaaaat. Alec Baldwin has shed some weight, coiffed the hair, got a new ladyfriend, and is looking ahmmazing. Like, Beetlejuice amazing. What’s the cause of this weight loss? Could it be he’s planning the alltime handsomest run for office? Or is that he’s in love with his new 27-year-old girlfriend, yoga instructor Hilaria Thomas?

Whatever he’s doing, he’s got my vote!! Which is MichieCoco code for my “sexual consent.”

I may not be 27, and I may not be a yoga instructor, but I do blog… huh? Huuuh??? Alec? *silence*

More pics of 2011′s Hottest Baldwin ahead.

Here he is with his new girlfriend. She’s a regular Huma Weiner!

Even Ben Franklin hair can’t mask his musk…

Here he is before one of his infamous “Bedroom Games”:



A crotch that sweats THAT much clearly has a lot to offer:

35 years ago today, Alexander Johan Hjalmar Skarsgård was born a tiny, blond specimen in Stockholm, Sweden to actor Stellan Skarsgård and his “malm,” My Skarsgård. (Her actual name.) His first breakout role was in Sweden at the age of 13, in a television show called Hunden som log, which loosely translates into The Dog That Smiled. Which, if the title can be believed, is likely the best thing to ever come out of Sweden. OK, second best. Wait! Third. (Ikea.)

After moving to America, he spent the next 7 or so years simultaneously downing Orange Mocha Frappuccinos and doing sit-ups, before biting it big stateside as Eric Northman, a “1000-year-old Viking vampire sheriff” on the HBO show True Blood. He has also recently been inducted into the Ångstrom Håll Of Fåme (not a real place).

Also I shook his hand at Coachella and my hand turned into a slim jim due to his sheer strennnth and hotness.

Today marks the 35th year of his life. So, to celebrate the birth of this God amongst Svens, we present to you the Ultimate Alexander Skarsgard GIF Wall, courtesy of BWE’s official GIFographer Lauren Deiman.

I took the news like an alien getting punched in the face. How could the one Hollywood couple who actually appeared to be so much in love (not to mention BFFs with the only other super in love couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes) BREAK UP?

Well according to the Smith Camp, things are fine. So fine, in fact, that they’ve hired a legal team to get to the root of this split rumor. But no need to sue us, W&J, because we knew all along these break-up rumors were fake.

Here are 25 reasons why:

Ryan Gosling‘s charm has been on full blast lately. He’s been smirking all over town, winning hearts with his scruffy dog George and hoisting portly morning show hosts over his head while promoting Crazy, Stupid, Love. Unsurprisingly, that handsome mug of his inspired us to round-up Gosling’s most GIF-worthy moments, including a very restrained count of five from The Notebook.
Fun fact: before his “Photoshopped” abs and “Hey Girl” meme status, The Gos was an MMC heartthrob alongside Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears. We’ll warn you that this particular Ultimate GIF Wall is an unsettling combo of “Awww” and “OMFG.”

In this particular cosplay, The Cake Boss, portrayed by Tompkins’ hyper-absurd yet inexplicably accurate impression, faces the cruel reality that he’s not the only cake show in the reality cakescape. He reacts as only the Cake Boss can:

Also, if you aren’t listening to the Pod F. Tompkast and its many other inexplicable-yet-accurate voices contained within, you really should be. And if you’re still not, then I have no choice but to KIND OF HAVE TO DISAGREE WITH YOU.

I believe it was the great Cindy Adams who once said “Only In Bangkok!” while getting serviced by a gaggle of eager ladyboys. Well the same can be said for the above scenario, where a chimp named Do Do bottle feeds a baby tiger named Aorn. You can thank our friends at The Daily Mail for doing what they do best: Bringing us pics of two animals that would normally kill each other now raising each other.

Sorry Milo & Otis, but your ranks as the most adorable interspecies best friends are slowly falling thanks to wacky Eastern hemispherical scenarios like this one. (Don’t be down about it guys.)

Now, y’all know I love monkeys (chimps, whatever), and tigers remain to be one of the large giant cat species I’d gratefully let spoon me come life or death, but there is one small thing that actually makes this series of photographs even more enjoyable…

Can you guess what it is?

THIS CHIMP IS WEARING JEANS SHORTS.

What do you do about this other than collapse to the ground and reach up towards the sky screaming “take me now!”

You could keep scrolling of course.

Somewhere above, Michael Jackson is crackin’ open a can of Jesus Juice and just laughing the glorious day away.

Dodo sneaks a shot of milk when he thinks no one is looking, when really, we are all looking with the single eyeball that lives in our heart.

On second thought: After watching this video, I am now convinced this chimp is an animatron. WE’VE ALL BEEN DUPED.

Oh my god, look at the time! We are, like, 15 minutes overdue for a RICHARD SIMMONS WALKING GIF. Thankfully, Mr. Slimmy Slim Slimz was seen very much out and about while gallivanting in Beverly Hills in a tasteful petrie dish number. The glasses say “My vision isn’t perfect” while the gloves say “And I also might have a problem with germs.” We love the guy!

I mean, please, who PLANKS in BEVERLY HILLS if not RICHARD SIMMONS:

Neville Longbottom. The name brings to mind a few things… Aaron Neville’s mole, for example, or old women at the beach. But in the case of the Harry Potter franchise, Neville Longbottom is something entirely different. He’s a young, chubby, introverted boy with pure wizard blood, who started his life off as a nobody, a nothing, a horrible wizard and then grew into something entirely different: A hot guys who is amazing at wizardry. And major kudos to the casting team of the Harry Potter franchise, who somehow knew when they chose their chubby little Neville that within about 10 years he would grow up to be a new generation’s Clive Owen.

His name is Matthew Lewis. Or Matt, if you’re in a rush. He is left-handed and like Leeds United, two facts you should remember if you ever meet him. (“Can I have your autograph? Careful not to smudge it, left-hander… yes, if you could make it out to Leeds United… Hmm? What am I doing tonight? *winks to camera*” – Dialogue in my new made-for-TV-movie How To Get Asked Out By Matthew Lewis.)

Because let’s face it: His transformation from young chubbster to handsome oldster has turned him into a bona fide WILF, or Wizard I’d Like To F*ck. It is so dramatic, in fact, we’ve decided to take a closer look at how, exactly, this happened.

WHAT.

Here is Matt Lewis aka Neville Longbottom at the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 premiere in London. I mean… whatttt? He grew a couple of inches, lost a couple of pounds, put a flipper on and bought a pocketwatch. At 22, his life story has gone from “kid who eats all the cupcakes at the birthday party” to “I should probably go to pilates today to look my best on the off-chance that in my lifetime I might walk past this man.”

The lesson here? That if you’re the star of a multi-billion dollar movie franchise, you should probably end on a high, incredibly sizzling hot note. Keep that in mind the next time you find yourself in this situation, while I doodle “Mrs. Matt Lewis” all over my Leeds United notebook. pps He also does an amazing American accent!

It’s the Fourth of July! You know what that means, don’t you? Dozens of your closest friends and richest business associates will come over to your multi-million dollar loft apartment that sports the most killer view of the skyline of [INSERT YOUR CITY HERE] that anyone has ever dreamed of. Clearly, in addition to being rich and powerful, you’re also a wise and fair boss, which means you will have given your personal chef time off for the weekend so you can man the barbeque and grill up some Kobe beef burgers and 100% kosher Hebrew Nationals, which you’ll naturally pair with beluga and Cris for the phalanx of influencers and mavens that have come over to your lair. And when it’s time for the fireworks sponsored by [INSERT YOUR LOCAL DEPARTMENT STORE HERE] to light up the night, you’ll draw your curtains closed and fire up the latest episode of Gabe & Max Like The Internet instead. Because, naturally, that’s what true blue patriots like George Washington would have done, had the internet existed in 1776. Carpe diem, friends (which, as you’ll see in this video, roughly translates as “Seize the carp”)!

Meet Mewdini:

Mewdini’s real name is Ksyusha (thanks again Daily Mail), which is a Japanese word for “Face Pressed Against Glass.”

But this little kitty isn’t stuck! According to his owner “She likes hiding in different places and is full of character.” It should be known the owner is not a native English speaker. And judging by these photos… he doesn’t look terrified at all!!!!!

Especially when he thinks he’s about to be washed in the G.D. washing machine.

But guys, we’ve saved the best story for last… because little Mewdini has a daughter… WHO ALSO LIKES TO HIDE IN JARS:

Somebody get me a jar so that I can snatch this kitten up for myself thank youuuuu:

Can you imagine waking up every day to this??????

No, really, were these cats in Nam?

So how does one honor their dear Father? With a tie? A book? Some meat? Nah, your Dad already has all of that stuff. But you know what your Dad probably doesn’t have and would really love? A list of 51 Animals Celebrating Father’s Day. And the best part? It’s totally free! All you have to do is e-mail it. To your Dad! Or whoever! It’s that simple. What better way to say “Happy Father’s Day” then with a giant list of animals dressed up like Dad? The answer is no better way. Enjoy and Happy Father’s Day!

Here is British actor Bill Nighy — whom most Americans probably remember from Love Actually — chatting up a young man in a banana suit handing out flyers for, well, bananas? Smoothies? Something. Really just posting this photo to remind y’all to have a FABULOUS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKENDDD! Eat a lot of bananas!

Then he’s like “OK I’m coming down!”

Then he’s like WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE–

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

The end.

Then this happened:

There’s Only One Thing To Say

A goatee? And Judge Judy hair??? EWAN????????

What happened to this???

Or this??

Or even this?!

Full beard it if you must, but unless you’re growing the goatee for an upcoming part — Creepy guy at bar, Fedora salesman, etc. — shave that sh*t off.

Let it be known that if he were to even look at me, with or without goatee and Judge Judy hair, I would still faint from joy.

These photos were taken of Ewan McGregor arriving at the Late Show with David Letterman yesterday. Here’s video of him telling a story about barfing in an airplane:

OK. He’s still #1.

When McBride says “Tallyho” and then throws a garbage can through a bodega window, that’s when my heart goes aflutter and I just want election day to be NOW and pencil his name onto the presidential ballot. All the celebrity bells ‘n whistles aside (and I love celebrities AND bells ‘n whistles), this is a GREAT effing song. Beastie Boys for Vice Presidents!

MTV

“The time-travel drama is becoming a hot theme for TV and films, but its content and the exaggerated performance style are questionable. Many stories are totally made-up and are made to strain for an effect of novelty. The producers and writers are treating the serious history in a frivolous way, which should by no means be encouraged anymore.”

How convenient! I think the real issue is that China is obsessed with Sad Keanu and they want him to be even sadder by denying billions of people seeing B&T3, his triumphant comeback. They also must have a personal vendetta against Alex Winter. What that would be I haven’t quite figured out yet. But I will. Oh, I will-OMG. I might have found the actual reason why. It might be because of this episode of Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventures cartoon series. This is the description of the episode entitled, “One Sweet and Sour Chinese Adventure to Go” (eeeegs):

Bill and Ted accidentally break Missy’s… I mean, Mrs. Preston’s Antique Chinese vase and must go on a most superdacious adventure back to Antique China to get her a new one before she returns home.

And this is a still from it:

Fair enough, China. Fair enough.

The way that this, and the rest of the videos, are done, with cheeky/ironic music and handsome male celebrities doing menial tasks terribly, implies that real men are bad at comically easy things, but good at not buying child sex? Not to nitpick, but I bet child sex traffickers aren’t so good at making meals or doing laundry or shaving either. Or maybe they are! I wouldn’t know, because there is no connection between the two! Maybe nothing is sacred in comedy, but these aren’t comedy shorts being edgy with a theme of child sex trafficking, these are child sex trafficking PSA’s trying to be funny. You see how it doesn’t work both ways? Also, maybe it’s not the best forum for Eva Longoria to do sexy voice.

Acutally, this Youtube comment probably says it best:

“I know these are aimed at a younger generation, but I’m 19 and just don’t get them…”

Exactly.

Well, looks like they nailed their demographic of fat slobs who are rude and bad at their jobs that seem to exist in an 80′s movie! But wait. Fargginary’s press release is all classy like:

bacōn is a passion project mirrored after one of the 20th Century’s greatest legends. The Legend of Fargginay began in 1920 when quite by accident John Fargginay, a Parisian butcher discovered the ability to dramatically elevate his customers’ mood with a secret recipe blending herbs & essential oils with the essence of…bacon. As the story goes, film stars & heads of state would frequent his shop to procure the magical elixir.

So confusing. They take us one way and then another. Am I to believe that bacōn’s target customer is a reject actor from a local beer commercial or a Parisian film star and/or head of state? However, I forgive bacōn for all its sins because “frequent his shop to procure the magical elixir” is my favorite phrase ever.

Huffington Post

This seems as good a time as any to pitch the reality show Michelle Collins and I are shopping around, entitled New York Giants. It follows two tall gals (us) as they navigate their way through the Big City and Long Hemlines. I know I speak for Michelle when I say we will do tasteful(ish) nudity.

Moving on.

You, yes YOU, could live a REAL LIFE AVATAR FANTASY WEDDING!!! FLY, don’t walk, to Wu Lingyuan, southern China, which inspired the landscape for Avatar, and have your wedding photo look like THIS:

I think the appropriate emoticon here is :(

Those poor dudes. They’re all, “Listen, a job’s a job. Until my pilot gets picked up, most people would kill for this gig.”*

Oh, this was for charity. Stephen raised more money than Alex so he made him wear this HILARIOUS shirt. These shirts anger me because TAKE OFF YOUR SHIRTS WHY ARE YOU WEARING SHIRTS. And stop with the stupid faces. Smolder! Smolder, I say! More stupid shirts and stupidly attractive stupid faces after the jump.

GAH. We all remember the fashion show that Christina Applegate puts on at the end of Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead, yes? It’s here if you want to bone up. I think the designers at Victoria’s Secret, if one were to ask them, would cite that as their main influence for this, the ugliest collection of outfits I have ever seen. Lacrosse??? A giant soccer ball shrug?? WTF, Vicky’s? I know you flaunt your trashy side proudly, but this is beyond. As long as you were going balls out (tranny model next year maybe?), you should have hired the hot dog truck and called it a day, at least to ground this disconnected circus in some actual reference. There are some obvious differences between the two shows, for one, the Victoria’s Secret Show did not take place in Sue Ellen’s backyard and Sue Ellen did not feature a cadre of male dancers/gymnasts. But I feel as though they share the same soul, just with different budgets.
