Beck, looking oddly like David Spade, played a not-so-secret show last night at the Echoplex. (Or should I say Beck-o-plex?)

A lucky crowd of about 700 people crammed into the club and were treated to a set comprised of mostly greatest hits......

One of the nice things about having so many tv channels is there is so much selection. There once was a time when there was only one late-night talk show option: Johnny. Then there was Letterman and Leno. Now there's also Craig Ferguson, Conan of course, and Jimmy Kimmel. There's so much selection that there's even an audience for Carson Daly's terrible mess of a show. In order to keep up with the O'Brien's,......

Do you remember anything so amazing that it was worth remaking the same exact movie about twenty-eight years later? Do you have any idea......
