We’re pretty sure Lena Dunham is the darling of the critics because the critics are past their midlife and think she must be what all the kids are into today. Because it’s starting to become glaringly obvious that even she thinks she’s far more clever than she actually is.

For this reason, we’ve always found her somewhat annoying. And before you go calling us haters, slow your roll -- we didn’t say we hate her. We can't deny her relevancy, but that doesn't mean we can't be annoyed by it, too.

But now there’s a new reason to find her grating: She’s gone all fanboi on Taylor Swift. So now you can knock out both of them with one roll of the eyes.

YOU: You're the ever-nerdy yet still desirable artsy/moody type we all love to take home to mother. Unlike the rest of us, you’re too good for mainstream entertainment so we don’t get to see you in a lot of shows or movies (except for that super hot voice of yours in every last animated ‘Madagascar’ incarnation). I like you even with all the product in your hair.

While the rest of us were toasting a happy new year, Sofia Vergara and her politician fiancé, Nick Loeb, were getting started on a scrappy new year by engaging in some kind of bar brawl in Miami.

We don’t like to tell people how to be (okay, that's kind of a lie), but it’s possible there were some unfortunate geographical choices made that brought the whole thing on.

We had some time to read the tabs while we were waiting in line to buy eggnog and aspirin this week and here’s what we learned from OK!, Globe, In Touch, Star and Life & Style.

Once more, avoiding the express line has its privileges.

After NRA vice-president Wayne LaPierre stood up in front of a bunch of news cameras on Friday and spewed the crap for which the organization is so well known, the Twittersphere lit up with 140-character opinions -- many of them funny -- about the whole thing.

Because sometimes if you don't laugh, you'll just break down in hysterical sobs of disbelief. And no one wants puffy eyes for holiday parties.

It’s been a while since there’s been a reason to be excited about the MTV Movie Awards -- really, how many movie award shows are we expected to sit through with enthusiasm -- but it looks like 2013 is the year that all changes.

In a very clever move indeed, producers have tapped the clearly unconventional (and very funny) Rebel Wilson to host what promises to be a rather inappropriate MTV Movie Awards show on Apr. 14.

If you had the chance to talk one-on-one with Santa Claus, would you use that opportunity to entangle him in your militant and utterly insane crusade against the phrase “happy holidays”?

Of course you would -- if you're one of the hosts of ‘Fox and Friends.'

On Friday, as we all reeled from the horrific Sandy Hook school shootings in Connecticut, we were torn about how to address them here. This isn't a hard news site, but at the same time, it seemed odd to ignore the situation completely.

Ultimately, we chose to carry on with business as usual and hope that maybe it provided a bit of a break from reality from those who so desperately needed it.

Then a vintage clip from 'Sesame Street' started making the rounds. And as always, our favorite children's program of yore eloquently taught us all a little something -- this time, about life and death.

When Amy Winehouse died in July of 2011 at the tender age of 27, few people were surprised when the autopsy revealed acute alcohol poisoning was responsible for her early demise. She partied hard, had her issues with various substances and just seemed like the kind of celeb to burn out rather than fade away.

So it's a bit of a shock to find out that that the cause of her death may have been misidentified by an unqualified coroner.
