Brett Favre's "Pants on the Ground" testing captions Following their Sunday night win, Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings' spirits were high and their pants were on the ground. Not literally of course, but in the celebratory sense. After the men in purple knocked Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys out of contention for the Super Bowl, quarterback Favre led his team in a version of General Larry Platt's "American Idol" viral hit "Pants on the Ground" in the locker room. The song was caught on camera and has now become a viral hit of its own. Favre, the 40-year-old comeback kid, even turned his hat sideways when the song required it.

'LOST' cast dishes on the future
 testing captions ABC held its Television Critics Association Tour last week in Pasadena, California. It paraded a number of talent around to promote its upcoming and current shows, but no one seemed to take any interest in anything ABC was serving up except for the show that has a cult following. I'm talking about "LOST." The final season of "LOST" kicks off next month and ends in May. And for the months that it's been off the air fans have gone into overdrive trying to figure out the motives and mysteries of "LOST." So when I learned that I would be interviewing a few of the actors of "LOST" - Emile de Ravin, Josh Holloway, Evangine Lilly, Jorge Garcia, Michael Emerson, Daniel Dae Kim and Terry O'Quinn - I thought I would try and get LOTS of questions answered.

Golden Globes: a little for everyone, a lot for 'Avatar'No one dominated the 67th annual Golden Globe Awards: no film or TV show won more than two trophies, as the 25 honors went to 20 different films, shows, and TV movies. But if there was a big winner, it had to be "Avatar," which received Best Motion Picture – Drama, and Best Director for James Cameron. The "king of the world" was a bit more humble this time, saying he had "the best job in the world," and even singling out fellow nominee Kathryn Bigelow – one of his four ex-wives – saying he had expected her to win, and "she richly deserved it." Bigelow and "The Hurt Locker" did beat out Cameron and "Avatar" at Friday night's Critics' Choice Awards, but with "Avatar" topping the box office for a fifth straight weekend, closing in on $500 million in domestic ticket sales (third all-time, behind "Titanic" and "The Dark Knight") and more than $1.6 billion worldwide (behind only "Titanic"), I'd say Cameron still had a pretty good weekend.
