George Lopez
Brian Wilson: Watch His Silly George Lopez Interview [VIDEO]
By Steven Hoffer - AOL News"You've got to be a little bit crazy." Those are the wise words of San Francisco Giants pitcher Brian Wilson, whose wacky appearance on George Lopez last night -- complete with "Finding Nemo" socks and Thailand massage parlor references -- has hit the viral Internet waves like a hundred mile an hour fastball. The World Series-winning closer, already known for being a wild child of sorts, appeared on "Lopez Tonight" dressed in a sea captain outfit complete with gray beard and pipe to promote his short films for the MLB 2K11 video game on XBox, but much of the conversation featured Wilson and ...
The Dugout: Brian Wilson Is a Funny Sea Captain on Television For Laughs
By Brandon Stroud - AOL NewsQuick, name the worst thing that happened to me this week. Was it the stress of looking for a writing job? No, that's expected. Was it the time I slammed my knee into the side of my coffee table? That sucked, but the pain went away. Was it finding out that everyone I had ever loved is dead, and that I'll never get to see them again? Well, that would've been the worst thing that happened to me this week, but I ended up watching about six minutes of Brian Wilson dressed as a facetious sea captain while George Lopez snickered at him. At this point I'd be HAPPY to never see the people I love ...
Backstreet Boy A.J. McLean Checks Into Rehab; Friends, Fans React [VIDEOS]
By Mary Phillips-Sandy - AOL NewsSad news for Backstreet Boys fans. Singer A.J. McLean is checking himself into rehab for the third time in an effort to beat his addiction to drugs and alcohol. The announcement comes as the Boys -- who formed in 1993 -- are preparing for a nostalgia-filled summer tour with boy-band statesmen New Kids on the Block. In a statement released to People, McLean said that his treatment would not impact the NKOTBSB tour. "With 2011 being a busy year for Backstreet, I want to be healthy and perform and sing for people at my very best and happiest," he wrote. "None of this will affect our current ...
Antoine Dodson, the 'Bed Intruder' Guy, Now Has a 'Chimney Intruder' Song
By Steven Hoffer - AOL NewsWe thought this guy's 15 minutes were up. It's been almost five months since Antoine Dodson's lively interview about a would-be rapist he chased from his sister's room got auto-tuned into the "Bed Intruder Song." The catchy clip became one of the biggest Internet memes of the year. Now, compliments of comedian George Lopez and his show "Lopez Tonight," Dodson is back with another hit, this time for the holiday season. (Yet something tells Surge Desk it probably won't make it into your Christmas carol lineup.) So hide your cookies and your presents, because nobody, including Santa the ...
The Dugout Offseason: Very Funny
By Brandon Stroud - AOL NewsThis is the way the offseason begins: not with a bang, but with Brian Wilson making an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and managing to look like George Carlin by being within five feet of Jay Leno. If you are unfamiliar with The Dugout and have not liked us on Facebook, the creative flow works opposite to the seasons. When the season is going on, it's hard for me to write about it because I love baseball and just want to watch and enjoy it. When the season is over and absolutely nothing of interest is happening, that's when I get to fill up Back Porch with multi-part story arcs ...
Obamas' Glitzy State Dinner Honors Mexico President Calderón (No Crashers!)
By Lynn Sweet - Politics DailyThere were no crashers at the glamorous state dinner that President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, hosted for President Felipe Calderón of Mexico and his wife, Margarita Zavala, on Wednesday night. Beyoncé sang and after a day focused on contentious immigration issues, the presidents toasted the close cross-border relationship. "Tonight we share the bonds we share as neighbors and as friends," Obama said. "We celebrate all that Mexican-Americans contribute to the United States." The dinner, the coming out for the new social secretary, Julianna Smoot, included 200 guests feasting on a ...
Donald Trump's 'Fabulous World of Golf' To Debut Monday on Golf Channel
By Matt Romanoski - AOL NewsGood or bad -- and let's face it, it's been mostly bad -- the Tiger Woods saga has turned the spotlight on the sport of golf like never before, and leave it to Donald Trump, the ultimate capitalist, to capitalize on the interest. The Golf Channel Monday night at 9 p.m. EDT will air the first edition of Donald J. Trump's Fabulous World of Golf, a takeoff on the old "Shell's Wonderful World of Golf"' program that aired for more than 20 years and can still be seen in reruns on the Golf Channel. What makes the new one fabulous and the old one merely wonderful? "It's Trump,'' The Donald said. "I ...
Current WWE Champion Challenges Former Champ on TV
By Brian Fritz - AOL NewsWWE superstars are making appearances just about everywhere this week to promote this weekend's WrestleMania 26. The latest was Tuesday night on the TBS show Lopez Tonight. David Arquette was a guest on the show and it was pointed out that he is a huge wrestling fan. Years ago, Arquette was -- believe it or not -- the WCW World Heavyweight Champion for two weeks.Well, current World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho then appeared to say that Arquette as a champion was a façade and he had been waiting 10 years to erase him from the record books. Jericho then threw down a challenge which ...
Kobe Bryant, George Lopez Share Stage at Nike Event

In this video, Kobe talks about the Lakers' championship run, his favorite game-winning shot, and what he likes best about his new shoe. Meanwhile, Lopez has plenty of funny things to say about Phil Jackson, playing Kobe one-on-one and more. Check out ...
Tiger to Return at Accenture ... Maybe
By Ryan Wilson - AOL NewsSome 24 hours after Tiger Woods' wife, Elin, gave birth to Charley Axel, the couple's second child, the world's best golfer had his swing coach on the phone. Apparently, Tiger's really close to making his triumphant return to the PGA Tour. And let me just say: hurry. Yes, Camilo Villegas has played well, but Anthony Kim and Phil Mickelson have not. And while it's nice to see young guys like Nick Watney win big events, it's no substitute for Eldrick. Obviously.The question then, of course, is when, exactly, Woods will tee it up.The answer comes from the unlikeliest of sources: Champions Tour ...
