Wii Tennis: Conan vs. Serena
We've written before about how cool Wii in action can be, but this Conan O'Brien clip takes it to the next level by pitting amateur against professional -- and showing what happens when things like training, talent, strength, and speed don't really matter.
On this evened-out playing field, a Wii Sports match-up between Serena Williams and Conan is surprisingly close (we won't reveal the victor in order to preserve some pretense of suspense). The real winner, of course, is Nintendo, whose pursuit of world domination grows easier by the day. But a close runner-up is America -- after all, nothing is better than the pale lanky thighs of an Irishman. Especially when framed by the whitest of short-shorts and the blackest of socks.

America Ferrera Wins Golden Globe
After falling in love with America Ferrera for her breakout role in Real Women Have Curves, watching Ferrara accept the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Television Series (Comedy) makes us tear up with Ugly Bette's starlet.
Hopefully, the acceptance speech of the curvaceous, Honduran femme will send a message to Hollywood about celebrating diversity, both of body type and of ethnicity.
By beating out stick figures like Marcia Cross and Mary-Louise Parker, Ferrara's win makes the most powerful of statements about the triumph of a good spirit over superficiality. Plus, her winning means that we get to see more of her purple dress. And we really like her purple dress. It's pretty.
