It's another TVgasm Tuesday, and if you somehow don't know, the SAG awards happened. Check out the red carpet highlights here, and definitely make sure you watch the best acceptance speech of the night by (shocker) Tina Fey. I laughed. I cried. It was only a minute long, but it was an emotional roller coaster. 30 Rock airs its series finale this Thursday, so this was just a little taste of wha'ts to come. Don't be surprised if I'm an emotional wreck next Tuesday. It was formally announced that J.J. Abrams will be directing the new Star Wars movie, and the internet is PISSED. The "Jar Jar Abrams" jokes have already started, and I think it's safe to say that we're in for some pretty lewd gifs in the weeks to come. In unsurprising news, Frank Ocean wants to bring charges against Chris Brown after the "alleged" incident, officially making Chris Brown a [REDACTED] in the eyes of the public. Let's see what TVgasm has for us

This Week:

If you liked Tina Fey's Bossypants, get excited, because Amy Poehler has reportedly signed a book contract, herself. Now, I don't want to hyperbolize how excited I am, but I will be using this book as my new Bible when it's finally published. Click to read all the deets at TVgasm!

Well, if writing TVgasm has taught me anything, it's that for every piece of great work that is set to be created, there is an equally terrible thing that has been greenlit. It's Newton's third law of whatever or something. So when I heard about this terrible new talk show, I can't say I was surprised just deeply deeply disappointed. 

Have you been watching Top Chef? If you HAVE been watching, you probably know that there are a few people who could use some well-intentioned advice, or even some advice that is NOT well-intentioned. TVgasm is here to offer some (possibly not so) well-intentioned advice.

Remember: There's no shame in weeping openly at your own television.

Editor's Note: Today we launch a new weekly feature: Nerd News! Inspired by Answerly's resident nerd expert Kristina Horner and authored by our very own Nerdfighter, Brandon Dannenhoffer.

If you're like me, you try to keep track of all of the news in our little realm, but sometimes things go under the radar.  No worries, I got you covered! 

-Capcom has released gameplay footage of their newest game, Remember Me, and it looks badass.  From the looks of it, it takes the cinematic route a la Uncharted and mixes it with the combat and gadgetry of the Batman Arkham series.  My fingers are crossed, hoping they don't screw up this promising title. 

-Doctor Who is back with it's second episode of Series 7, Dinosaurs on a Spaceship.  The verdict?  It was great!  I know what your thinking.  Dinosaurs?  On a spaceship?  In Doctor Who?  Yes, yes.  But trust me, it works!  And, before you ask, that IS Mr. Weasley. 

-G4 is getting a makeover.  According to Variety, G4 is scheduled for a rebranding and is aiming for more of a posh-looking route and less geek.  With the death of Nintendo Power and now G4, it looks like video game journalism is going the way of the internet.  Let's just hope the new G4 can still hold on to it's nerdy roots.

And don't forget, today is the last day to order your New York Comic Con tickets and still get them mailed to you.  Who all is going?  I am!  Is there anything you would like for me to cover in our special NYCC edition of Nerd News?  Let me know in the comments.

For more nerdy nonsense and news (alliteration is fun!), follow me on twitter.

Welcome to TVgasm Tuesday! I hope you're ready for a whirlwind of celebrity doings because I have approximately a million things to write about today. You know it's spring time when new releases start popping up every other day, so it was nice to see teaser trailers for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and the second season of The Newsroom. It was also exciting to hear about BJ Novak's book deal. Did you know he starred on The Office while he was an executive producer for the show? Maybe his book will reveal how to be in nineteen places at once (evil twins? holograms? buy the book to find out!). 

If you didn't watch, the MTV Movie Awards took place on Sunday. Any excuse for an awards show, right? I'm not complaining (yes I am a little though actually). Rebel Wilson hosted, and the show had its fair share of awkward moments, namely the Aubrey Plaza/Will Ferrell stunt. Not to be outdone, Ke$ha and Snoop smoked some weed onstage, except Ke$ha looked like the evil queen from Snow White so it was a little bit disorienting for everyone. Let's see what TVgasm has

This Week:

Kim Kardashian is bugging out because she thinks she might have to talk about the parts of her show that might be fake for her upcoming divorce trial. This begs the question: will Kim have to talk about other…..parts……of her…….that are……..fake**.

There has been some drama happening on the Late Show with David Letterman of all places. First Lindsey showed up, so you know some shit went down. Then Charlie Sheen was on, talking about Lindsey behind her back. Weren't they just in a movie together?! XOXO Gossip Girl

There's something I've been wanting to ask for a while: Latoya Jackson, WHAT IS YOUR DEAL?! Who are you and what do you want from me?! TVgasm has the full investigation.

Remember: If you have to go to an awards show, but don't have any outfit ideas, go with your least favorite Disney villain! You can't miss!

**Her boobs. I was talking about her boobs specifically if you didn't get it.

It's TVgasm Tuesday! Did you watch the Oscars on Sunday night? No? That's fine because I did and here's everything you need to know: First and foremost you should know that almost everyone was offended by Seth MacFarlane, even though he charmed the pants off me (granted I wasn't wearing pants to begin with, but here we are). Anne Hathaway's nipples were probably the best-dressed stars on the red carpet, and their appearance reignited everyone's hatred of Anne Hathaway. Specifically our editor's. Kristin Chenoweth is a tiny elf. The internet is shitting its pants about Jennifer Lawrence. All pretty standard.

Here's some other non-Oscars stuff you should know: We have some more information about the new season of Arrested Devlopment, Maya Rudolph could possibly be hosting a new variety show (why has a big deal not been made about this?!), and Aubrey Plaza talks about food! Let's see what TVgasm has for us...

This Week:

I can't be the only one who can't keep all the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills straight, right? Which one is the blonde one with giant boobs again? Don't fear, TVgasm has the definitive RHOBH study guide!

Click to find out which Jersey Shore star (well, "star" is a bit of a stretch) sold her car on eBay! Here's a hint: she's orange and yells a lot and will probably get leopard print tattooed onto her skin at some point in the future.

I've always said that Michelle Obama can do no wrong, and I was finally proven absolutely right when she released this video with Jimmy Fallon! Click to watch FLOTUS outshine every other world leader's wife on national TV.

Remember: If you ever run into Anne Hathaway's nipples, they're more afraid of you than you are of them.

Welcome once again to TVgasm Tuesday. Did you enjoy the long weekend? Well, I hope you're rested because there is a lot of TV news and you need to know all of it so you can finally have something to say to those pesky "friends" of yours. For example you could tell your friends how Alec Baldwin had a few choice no-no words for some paparazzi. We can all laugh about this, "oh ha ha Alec Baldwin in crazy hardy har har" but the bottom line is please don't beat me up, Alec Baldwin.

Also, did you know Fergie is pregnant? My predictions are as follows: the baby will be more photogenic than any of us, the baby's name will have at least four and, at most, six consecutive consonants in it, and there will be a surge of "My Humps" jokes on twitter [ed. note: It's already happening]. Speaking of babies, Blue Ivy was featured in the Beyoncé documentary, and you should go read about it and then cry at Beyoncé's adorable offspring. Let's see what TVgasm has for us...

This Week:

Apparently, Khloe Kardashian's lack of expertise and talent has caught up to her, click here to see how. If it weren't for the alliteration in her name and her crazy eyes, I'm pretty sure America would have NO time for Khloe.

And, here's to you, Amanda Bynes! You're just a fun-loving twenty-something trying to figure it all out! You're like a slightly intoxicated Zooey Deschanel without bangs or charm or any likable quality that Zooey Deschanel has! Keep being newsworthy, girl!

Remember: We can't ALL be Zooey Deschanel, but we CAN all try. 

People keep telling me about some sort of Mars landing, and how the Olympics are so great (apparently there was some sort of Call Me Maybe lip dub video, I don't know), but I can't even be bothered with that stuff, because, guys, have you seen what's going on in the world of reality TV?! I don't have time for any scientific discoveries when Honey Boo Boo is coming out on TLC. We need to prepare people, this is not a drill. 

This Week:

TVgasm has the official scoop on the sixth season of the Jersey Shore, and the second season of the Snooki and JWoww show (which apparently is a thing). Really though, it's good that Snooki has this show to fall back on... you know, if her career as a chemical engineer falls through.

Snoop Dogg changed his name to Snoop Lion, supposedly after a spiritual experience in Jamaica. TVgasm has some more info, but what I'm wondering is if Snoop will become Mountain Lion in a few months, and charge an extra 20 bucks for every show he does.

I wasn't kidding when i said that Honey Boo Boo is coming to TLC. The new trailer is out, TVgasm is all over it, and I could not be more excited/horrified about this show. On some level I just hope it's scripted so that I can know that there aren't humans who actually act like this.

TVgasm has another episode of Mornin' Time, starring a really, really gay chicken who will not be silenced. C'mon, Chick-Fil-A: just stop bullying this chicken, and let us eat him (her?). Whatever, let us eat this genderless chicken.

Remember: Just because TV watching isn't an Olympic event that doesn't mean you're not a winner.
