...Of The Day

Tune in to VH1 tonight at 11 for an all-new Best Week Ever with Paul F. Tompkins! This week’s special monster-themed episode features creatures big and small, from The Octomom to the Lost Smoke Monster to Idol’s Tatiana to Joaquin Phoenix (SHUDDER). Can you think of a better way to get ready for Valentine’s Day? Answer: You cannot.

Meanwhile, the week on the ‘net:

• Dare I say, this week’s Raven-Symone Blingee Challenge was easily the best one to date, as well as the most Raven.

• And finally, we were extremely disappointed to learn that Olde timey porn is waaay less entertaining than olde timey everything else.
