- Joseph Gordon-Leavitt can do backflips off walls.
- Dave Matthews does a mean Ozzy Osbourne impression.
- Reba McEntire is really a black man with a red wig?
Press play to watch Kenan Thompson and Andy Samberg in one of the most random - and possibly controversial - digital shorts in some time.

Keith Urban is astonished by how much his life changed when wife Nicole Kidman gave birth to their first child, daughter Sunday Rose, 17 months ago.
When asked how life changed when he became a father, the country artist said: “I think, as Nicole has said, it’s just the stretching of the heart. It is an indescribable feeling. It was much like the first time Sunday cried, when she came into the world. There are certain things in life you have to experience, otherwise, it’s just a vague concept of what it would be like. It’s had such a big impact on my life.”
The 42-year-old singer has even altered his musical career so he can spend more time with his family. “I structured the tour so I would do three shows in a row, then take about three or four days off. Now we have Sunday, it is about enjoying the simple pleasures - just being able to say ‘Goodnight’ to my girls and not be on the phone doing it,” he added. “It’s the real normal things like that that have brought such a grounding to my life. It’s a wonderful experience.”

“I’ll never forget this moment because in this moment everything that I have ever wanted has just happened to me.”
Should Taylor Swift start packing her bags and call it a career? One week after wowing critics with her humor on Saturday Night Live, the 19-year-old reached a professional high when she perfected a clean sweep at last night’s CMA Awards.
After collecting wins for Female Vocalist of the Year, Music Video of the Year (“Love Story”) and Album of the Year, she ended the evening with the event’s biggest award: Entertainer of the Year. Swift is now the youngest person to ever win that prize and the first solo woman since Shania Twain in 1999 to do so.
You can see a full list of winners after the jump.

VIDEO: Taylor Swift Looks Back at Being Fifteen
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music Videos, Country,
The only person who can clearly remember what it was like to be 15, is someone who’s only 19.
In “Fifteen,” the fourth song from Taylor Swift‘s album Fearless, the country star sings about her friend Abigail (who appears in this video) and a painful breakup she experienced a few years ago.
“‘Cause when you’re fifteen and somebody tells you they love you/ You’re gonna believe them/ When you’re fifteen and your first kiss/ Makes your head spin ‘round/ But in your life you’ll do things greater than/ Dating the boy on the football team/ But I didn’t know it at fifteen.”
Honey—just wait until you’re eighteen and a Jonas Brother dumps you for Camilla Belle. Fifteen will seem like nothing.
