Remember Alex Blagg? I'm sure most of you do. For those who don't, here's a rundown. A few years ago, Blagg was a San Francisco brochure writer who spent his days at work making sardonic remarks about politics and pop culture in the comment section of SNN. Today, he's still making sardonic remarks about politics and pop culture, but he does it as a handsomely paid, full-time blogger for VH1's wildly popular Best Week Ever blog.

We find it hard to believe that Blagg once wrote guest columns for SNN, though his column about How to Be a Cool and Tough Fraternity Guy still ranks as one of the funniest things published on the internet. In baseball, this kind of rise would be analogous to a guy going from backup third baseman for the Applebee's squad in the Bartlett, Tennessee city softball league to batting cleanup for The New York Mets.

If you're interested in Blagg's latest work -- or you take any pleasure in the misery and missteps of celebrities -- you should check out The Best Week Ever blog. I've included a few of Alex's best phrases from his April posts.

1. Calling a 38 year-old man who still wears Hot Topic goth make-up and leather cat suits leftover from Janet Jackson’s “Rythym Nation” tour an idiot is certainly stating the obvious, but we’ll risk doing just that for Marilyn Manson, a walking collection of ridiculous cliches who hasn’t been relevant - even among his core fan base of high school kids with low self esteem - in about 5 years. from SIZZLER: Marilyn Manson Apparently Thinks He Looks Like A Misguided 19 Year-Old Blonde Girl, April 17, 2007

2. KFC is desperately trying to get Sanjaya to give his hair a bowl-cut in order to promote the fast food giant’s “KFC Bowls”. Sanjaya is the perfect spokesmodel because, like the bowls, he’s a mediocre mound of blandness that still somehow makes you feel kind of good. – from While You Were Getting Al Sharpton All Fired Up, April 10, 2007

3. Scientists have finally linked obesity back to a gene. I always just thought it was linked to “husky” jeans. from In Odder News: Husky Jeans, April 16, 2007

4. A new study determining people’s knowledge levels by the source of their news has shown that viewers of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report ranked #1 in intelligence and smug liberal self-satisfaction. from In Odder News: Husky Jeans, April 16, 2007

5. On the movie Perfect Stranger: I love the parts of this movie where Balky and Larry end up in close-quartered situations that force them to confront their underlying sexual feelings for one another - $11.5 million. from In Cinema’s Golden Age: Are We Bored Yet?

6. Are Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams planning on getting married? And if so, will they do it in the rain, while crying, as an epic soundtrack swells in the background, signifying the Most Important Romance of Our Time? - from While You Were J. Loving Sanjaya, April 11, 2007

7. As an adult, the more I think about the premise and plot of this movie, the more that I worry that I might have been certifiably insane when I was a child. I mean, a good portion of entire generation had their worldview at least partially shaped by four sewer-dwelling nuclear-powered turtles who love pizza. It’s no wonder we’re all ADD - $9.2 million – from Cinema’s Golden Age, What Wacky Profession Will Ferrell Squeeze Money Out of Next

8. Guess what, fans of good music!?! Just as you’re emerging from the cocoon of sadness you were plunged into upon viewing the video of the American Idols turning Modest Mouse hit into a Kids Incorporated-inspired commercial jingle for Ford Mustangs, we have another tidbit of music news that is sure to up your daily dosage of anti-depressants. According to NME, Ashlee Simpson is teaming up with The Cure frontman Robert Smith to ruin your childhood: from Today in Spirit Crushing Music News, April 3, 2007

9. CONTRADICTION: Ivanka Trump says she only wants to date smart people (who are dumb enough to date her). – from Of the Day, April 3, 2007

10. The Great Blackberry Blackout of ‘07 has thrust the entire world into chaos and confusion, forcing people to communicate in ways that do not involve moving their thumb around and looking like an ***hole.
