Comedian/actor T.J. Miller had a couple unsuccessful auditions for a role as a park ranger in the upcoming Warner Brothers live action version of the beloved children's cartoon Yogi Bear.

So T.J. Miller got, well, creative and put together this fairly incredible, pretty funny video of himself auditioning with a real, live, somewhat grumpy bear.

Needless to say, T.J. Miller landed a part in the film.

 The Onion, the only news satire website that should be made required reading in every school, has pulled off a major coup -- they've plucked a real reporter, Suzanne Sena, from Fox News and added her to their Onion News Network, according to Media Bistro. 

You can see Sena's first video here and judge for yourself how different news satire really is from the actual news.

Neil Patrick Harris is a self-deprecating legend. Sure, he started his career in a somewhat self-serious role as the titular character of the child genius-becomes doctor drama Doogie Howser MD, but Harris found a second wind in his career mocking Doogie Hoswer AND himself in Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle (and its sequel). Well, now the prince of self-mockery has taken the next logical step and joined Twitter. And the results are FANTASTIC!

Here are some sample tweets:

My first tweet, peeps. I apologize in advance for my slow learning curve. Nice to (sort of) meet you. It's amazing how quickly 140 charac

(The joke being that Twitter only allows 140 characters per "tweet" and Neil, in his amazement of that 140 character limit, ran out of characters and cut off himself mid-sentence).

(The joke there? What if a well-spoken, well-educated actor wrote like a 12-year-old girl texting away on her first cell phone?)

The popular (and profane) Twitter account Shit My Dad Says is now being turned into a CBS sitcom (and a book!), according to The Hollywood Reporter.

If you're not familiar with Justin Halpern's truly hilarious twitter account, you don't know what you're missing -- the 29-year-old (formerly) down-on-his-luck writer transcribes funny, crazy, weird and just plain wild stuff his 73-year-old father says and posts it onto his twitter account.

At 140 characters (or less), Halpern gives us glimpses of his cantankerous (but loving) father. His father's loving (but often biting) words to his son have proved resonant -- the account has over 700,000 followers and Halpern has a book and TV deal.

This is not unprecedented. The blog Stuff White People Like was turned into a best-selling book and its creator, Christian Lander, has appeared on TV several times.

My question for Shit My Dad Says is this -- what's the show's censor-friendly new title going to be?
