The annual White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in Washington D.C. can be one of the most bizarre and surreal events of the year. Where else are you going to be able to chat with Henry Kissinger and Heidi Montag in the same room?

Hulu, the premium YouTube
These days, there are hundreds of ways to watch videos online and sometimes it can be hard to weed out the crap from the good stuff. Sites like YouTube are polluted with poor quality videos or catch-them-while-they-last clips from your favorite TV shows. That’s where Hulu.com comes in.
Hulu could be awesome
By now I’m guessing a lot of you have heard about Hulu, the new video site which features network TV and full length movies. I posted a clip on here from Saturday Night Live with Jonah Hill that was up on Hulu. The site provides higher quality video and legit content (no user-created stuff) including some videos exclusive to Hulu.
Best of all, you can watch full episodes of some of the best TV shows, like, oh, say…30 Rock!!! The only downside is that you have to sit through about three commercials within each show.
While I doubt this will replace anyone’s TV or iTunes, it is certainly a great way to catch up on episodes or clips you might have missed. No more do you have to worry about embedding a YouTube clip on your blog only to find that the network has had it pulled from the site for copyright infringement and the video no longer plays.
I can see this being huge for bloggers like myself because I can embed the best sketches from SNL without having to upload them myself or risk dead links on YouTube.
Definitely check out Hulu.com and see for yourself… or just enjoy this FULL EPISODE of 30 Rock.

Entertainment Weekly lists 20 Most Appalling TV Shows Ever
I just had to jump on this one!
EW.com has published a list of the 20 worst TV shows of all time, including photos.
Making the list were some of Trashwire’s favorite trashy reality shows including Britney Spears’ home-made series Chaotic, the Paula Abdul mood-swing-a-thon Hey Paula!, trash classic The Anna Nicole Smith Show, the Fox plastic surgery give away The Swan, the delightfully infamous Kid Nation, the crap-tacular Cheaters, almost the entire family of Flavor Flav dating shows on VH1 as well as nearly ever program on MTV including the often ripped on My Super Sweet 16, my personal favorite reality show Big Brother, the series that made Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie household names (and made me wanna slit my wrists) The Simple Life, and of course the greatest trashy reality show of all time–something that made even us question the fate of the world–Fox’s one-time 2000 event, Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire?.
The list is dynamite, definitely check it out and click on the links above to see our coverage of some of these shows.
