Back to Work
After a nice weekend at home, Craig Ferguson is gearing up for another week of all-new episodes of the Late Late Show this week including the hunky Mark Harmon, the also hunky Kenneth Branagh and one of the true kings of geeky hunkiness, “Weird Al” Yankovic.  And speaking of hunkiness, we’re told that there was some sort of sporting event going on over the weekend.  Judging by the Twitter traffic, it must have somehow involved David Beckham and underwear.  We hope everyone had a chance to enjoy that.  You too, ladies.

Craig was watching the big game, or at least the halftime show:

I have to admit the halftime show was pretty good. That cheeky cockney has still got all the moves. #butslower

Earlier in the day, upcoming guest Thomas Lennon tweeted:

Can we all agree on ONE snarky comment that we’re going to make when we see Madonna’s arms today? #armsuggestions

And Craig responded:

@thomaslennon How about “wow, that English dude has sick pythons” #armsuggestions

Research
Craig’s sister Lynn Ferguson tweeted Sunday about a friend’s book:

My pal has written a sexy book http://www.amazon.com/Tennis-Dates-Colette-Freedman/dp/1432726706 . Am gonna read it – for research 🙂

Mark Harmon and NCIS

The Toronto Star interviews Mark Harmon on the eve of the 200th episode of NCIS.



Halftime With Al
The New York Daily News says it’s about time that “Weird Al” Yankovic gets the chance to be the halftime act at the Super Bowl.  We agree.

Branagh on the Carpet

The New York Times interviewed Kenneth Branagh at last week’s Screen Actors Guild Awards.



Ad Bowl
There are silly ads, sappy ads and downright bizarre ads during the big game each year but we tend to be partial to the classy ads. Runners up for best ad included the Best Buy ad with the inventors of various smartphone technologies and a very sexy teleflora ad with Adriana Lima. But these are our favorite three: The classic Budweiser ad with cinematic pictures, great music and of course, the horses:

Next, Toyota’s reminder that they’ve been around for a while:

And our favorite of the year, Budweiser’s great idea to give the guys who just play for a fun a chance to feel like they’re in the big time:
