Afternoon Links: The Grammy Gossip and Pope Jokes Never End
Buuuuuuurn. Patrick Carney of The Black Keys dissed Grammy-snubbed Justin Bieber, saying that “he’s making a lot of money. He should be happy.” You know what’s better than a million dollars? A billion dollars. You know what’s better than a billion dollars? A billion dollars and a Grammy. You know what’s better than a billion dollars and a Grammy? The artistic freedom to Instagram pictures of yourself all sweat-drippy in a lace bra, otherwise known as being Madonna. In other Grammy drama news, here is Adele disapproving of Chris Brown.

- Why am I not surprised that one of the stars of Buckwild “cower[ed] in a shed” while police confiscated all of her hillbilly heroin? I guess it would have been buckwilder to ride an ATV over the officers while shooting a paint gun, but you gotta save something for Season 2.

- Will somebody please place insanity blockers on my DVR so I can’t record the next season of Celebrity Apprentice? I’m weak. I’m so fucking weak.

- A scent supreme: Eau de Pizza Hut.
- In case you missed it, because I did, here are some FCC complaints filed against SNL. There are a trillion of them, and each is a delight (“not a prude, just a grandparent”; “Sarah Palin is amazing!”; “SNL is what I call SEX NUDITY LAID”).
