Apparently in the 60s, Canada had a show called Skippy, about a kangaroo who was sort of a hopped-up version of Lassie.  Also, he plays the drums.  You just got served, Marmaduke. [via OhHaveYouSeenThis]

Sorry I don’t have a prize to give away this week, folks. You’ll just have to settle for a picture of this awesome puppy. Anyway, read on for last week’s best comments. As always, nominate for next week in the comments section below.

I’m putting the winner at the end, but let’s start with a close runner up.

[From first pic from new Harry Potter] Morton Salt says: In my day, a “ginny weasley” was when you took a ginger kid, pulled out a clump of their god-forsaken hair, shoved it in their mouth and then punched them in the stomach.

America, I am disappoint.

Not only has Entourage been picked up for a sixth season, it seems they’re planning two more and then an Entourage movie.  That’s right, an Entourage movie.  I wonder if Turtle will shop for shoes lol!

At the “Lovely Bones” premiere last night in New York, Wahlberg told me that there are two seasons left of “Entourage” on TV. And then? “We’ll see, there could be more. But then, a movie.” [THR] [see also WarmingGlow]

So, that’s two seasons of Entourage, then an Entourage movie.  Then locusts, then pestilence, dogs living with cats, etc.  And as if to put the dinglecherry on this sh-t sundae, the news came from none other than Roger Friedman.

While we were talking in the Oak Room at the Plaza Hotel after the movie — in a party so full that it would have welcomed Washington’s Salahi’s  [*rimshot*] — Wahlberg must have greeted two dozen friends. The nice thing was, there was no nuttiness. He is the epitome of down to earth and accessible. There was no “entourage.”

“Are they friends from Boston?” I asked.

Wahlberg shook his head. “All my friends from Boston are either dead or in jail,” he replied. He’s said it before, so I asked: “They can’t still be in jail after all this time?”

Wahlberg didn’t hesitate. “The stuff they did, you don’t get out of jail.”

Wow, that’s deep, bro, and could you pass the paté?  I got dry toast points over here.

Here I was all set to rip on Marley & Me (based on the book), starring Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston, but then I watch the teaser and it’s just 50 seconds of slow motion lab puppy running along the beach. If you can watch this and think anything other than Awwwww you’re probably dead on the inside. Seriously, does anyone else have the sudden urge to cuddle? And why do I smell fabric softener?  God I’m lonely.

Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson are set to star in a film adaptation of Marley & Me, a book about a couple that get a lab puppy to prepare themselves for parenthood.  Scott Frank (Minority Report, Out of Sight) is working on the script, with David Frankel (The Devil Wears Prada) on to direct.

See, I always thought the Hollywood thing to do was to adopt a third world ethnic-type baby to prepare for parenthood. That way if you fuck it up, you can just yell, "Yeah? Well he’d be sitting on a dirt floor eating flies if it weren’t for me!  And now he’s got an iPod!  AN IPOD!"

You hear that kind of stuff coming from the Jolie-Pitt house all the time.  The More You Know: Adopting an ethnic child is a great way to prepare for having a real baby.

HOLY CRAP, LOOK HOW CUTE THAT LAB PUPPY IS!!  (runs off during momentary distraction)
