Hey, did you hit the club last weekend? When you drank that Cirroc, did you think of Diddy? When you drank that 1800 Tequila, did you imagine you were Michael Imperioli? Do you sometimes drink whiskey and whisper to yourself, "It's Suntory time," like Bill Murray did in Lost In Translation? Then this one's for you:

Harry Shearer turns his eye for satire on celebrity alcohol endorsements with a song aptly-titled "Celebrity Booze Endorser." It's from his new album, Can't Take A Hint, and features Fountains of Wayne singing backup!

Harry's newest album features tons of guest stars like Dr. John and Jane Lynch-- yes, Jane Lynch from the television show Glee, whom Harry knew from working together on the Christopher Guest films For Your Consideration and A Mighty Wind.

Watch the video, get the album, or preview more songs from Can't Take A Hint via these videos now. And if your name is Diddy or Daddy or Puffy, you'd better watch out: Harry Shearer's coming for you.

Harry Shearer is back with a brand-new album called Can't Take A Hint. The album is set for release on Monday, August 27th, but you can preview some of it right here with music videos for:

Bridge To Nowhere (Guess who inspired that one?)
Deaf Boys (A Gregorian chant-inspired song about a continuing priestly scandal...)
Touch My Junk (What every airport traveler should remember when going through security.)

Harry said the album's title refers to the fact that he continues to make music despite his last album not being nominated for a Grammy, but maybe Harry will have more luck this time around since he's loaded the album with a bunch of big names like Dr. John, Jamie Cullum and Jane Lynch.

We'll have a new video from the album on Monday called "Celebrity Booze Endorser," which features Harry taking aim at the growing number of stars who use their popularity to push alcohol... with guest vocals from Fountains of Wayne!

Look, I understand that Beth's the host of My Damn Channel LIVE and generally speaking a totally awesome person.  And it's great that you're a fan!

But seriously, don't get all weird about it like THIS GUY.  Even if you really really like club soda.

OK, actually this guy is only PRETENDING to be weird and creepy.  His name is John F. O'Donnell and he's a very funny comedian, and this is a funny video so...

WATCH IT!

SO. MANY. BIRTHDAYS.

Seriously guys, couldn't you have spread out a few days so we could wish you happy birthday individually?  

I guess we'll just have to settle with giving you this instead. 

So here's to you Mandell Maughan, John Green, and Dave Chappelle.  Happy Birthday from MyDamnChannel!

Dear Diary,

So. Hung. Over.  

Haha, OMG, last night was one of the best, craziest nights of my life!  I didn't just win one Golden Globe, I won two!  How amazing is that?

So the night started pretty much like you'd expect.  A little blow in the limo just to get the feeling right; I only do that kind of thing before big awards shows nowadays, unless of course I'm hanging out with Damon.  They don't call him "China White" for nothing.

The red carpet is always the same.  I hate it.  I know I'm an actor and I should be used to the attention but I don't, I just don't.  Too many eyes on me.  I get uncomfortable.  I sweat.  I have dark thoughts.  Thank god I have Jenny with me.  I don't think I could have bared the prying eyes any longer if not for my beautiful angel protecting me on that red carpet.  I love you, baby.

But once I'm inside the hotel, I come alive!  All my friends are there, the Mike's Hard Lemonade is flowing, and I'm feeling groovy!  Not worried about winning or losing at this point, just looking to have a good time and catch up with friends I haven't seen in a long time.  I mean, how often do I get to make fun of Anne Hathaway with Jennifer Lawrence?  Hathaway's mouth is freakin' huge, LOL!

And then the ceremony starts and Tina and Amy totally are killing it and next thing you know Jodie's speech is totally confusing me and I'm hoisting a best director statue!  So thrilling.  Like, of course I said that winning doesn't mean as much as being mentioned in the same breath as the other directors nominated but we all know that's a load of bullshit.  You play to win the game, simple as that.  Maybe DeNiro will start taking my calls now that I've finally won a globe.  

More Mike's Hard and kisses with Jenny and then Argo wins best picture.  The best.  Night.  Ever.  Standing onstage with all of those talented people looking at all of the drunk A-listers applauding me is like standing atop Mount Olympus as Zeus bathes you in the golden tear drops of Helen of Troy.  Boner city, LOL.

After that we went to the after party and I don't even think I can even write down an account of the debauchery that transpired.  Let me just say Clooney doesn't always get naked, but when he does, you KNOW it's a good night.  And then let me say John Goodman doesn't always get naked, but when he does you know we're heading to White Castle sooner than later.  I know, so Hollywood, right? ;)

Okay I need to take some Advil and get in the hot tob with my Golden Globes.  It's been so amazing.  I love the me that I am.  I love Jenny.  I love movies!!!!  Haha, ok, ok, bye for now diary.

Yours,

Ben

PS - Arkin's head isn't the only thing that's bald :-p

What do My Damn Channel and the CW have in common?  Felicia Day and Sandeep Parikh, that's what! Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog is having its television premiere on the CW tonight. 

How are we all connected? Well, Felicia Day stars in Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog. Felicia Day also writes and stars in The Guild. Sandeep Parikh plays "Zaboo" in The Guild. Sandeep writes and acts in Save the Supers, which is on My Damn Channel! Not only that, but Felicia Day also makes an appearance in Save the Supers as Panthera!  So, you see, it's like we're all one big dysfunctional family. 

In celebration of Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog's big day, we're making today comic book themed! We'll be having Sandeep Parikh and Mickey Hawtrey with us for My Damn Channel: LIVE as well as Lorraine Cink, host of Marvel's web series "The Watcher."

You should definitely join us!

How I Met Your Mother premieres tonight. Who's the mother? WE STILL DON'T KNOW! But my friend and I have some theories because we are nerdy like that. He thinks Ted will marry Barney's sister (who we've never met). I think it'll be Felicia Day cause she was all up in Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog with NPH, so, like, why not? She's also in Save the Supers, which has it's series finale this Wednesday, so I mean… she's got a pretty impressive resume under her belt; she could just play herself on the show and win Ted's heart.
