Well friends I may be a little partial due to my infatuation with both Cookie Monster and Tom Waits but the following mashup of the two to Waits’ great “God’s Away On Business” is the greatest I’ve seen in the genre. It’s hilarious, haunting, moving and entertaining all at the same time. Hell I’d go as far to say that the mercurial Waits would love it. This is an incredible must see work of pop art.

Are Kasey Kahl and Vienna Girardi still together?

The driving force of ABC’s Bachelor Pad is the relationship between Vienna Girardi (who famously won Jake Pavelka’s season of The Bachelor, then had a blow-out break-up on television) and Kasey Kahl (who got a tattoo to convince Ali Fedotwosky that he would “guard and protect her heart,” but freaked her out so much that she left him on a glacier.)

Vienna and Kasey appear to go through so much during the filming of Bachelor Pad, that it looks like they might not make it as a couple. Sooo, the question begs: Are Kasey and Vienna still together?
