Best Thing Ever: New Moon's Werewolf Bar Mitzvah

BuzzSugar — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 10:30:12 -0700

If the words "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah" mean nothing to you, then I am about to rock your world in the best way possible. Here at Sugar HQ, the term has been tossed around one more than once as New Moon approaches, referencing the "novelty party song" that earned Tracy Jordan a gold record on 30 Rock. Quite literally, New Moon is Jacob Black's werewolf bar mitzvah (translation: boys becoming men, men becoming wolves!) - and my dear friend Molly found the perfect way to set Jacob's moment in time to music in this amazing mash up.

Announcing the 2009 Emmy Winners!

BuzzSugar — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 23:32:15 -0700

Well, the Emmys are over, and we have our full list of winners. Were you guys surprised by this year's picks? (Check out all my Emmy polls here.) I thought the show started out pretty unexpectedly when underdogs Kristin Chenoweth and Toni Collete took home trophies, and there were a few other surprises along the way. Towards the end, though, the big wins seemed pretty predictable with Mad Men for drama, 30 Rock for comedy - no surprises there.

I had a lot of favorite moments of the night - more on those later - but mainly, I just enjoyed seeing Neil Patrick Harris as host. I loved everything from his opening to Dr. Horrible, and most of you thought his opening number was pretty great, too.
