Onion Editor Relaunches Campaign to Take Over Late Night

With NBC's late-night schedule descending into chaos, the great minds of the entertainment business are at Spago and other Beverly Hills restaurants today debating this question: "Who will replace our boy Conan O'Brien?"

One man with the gumption, the comedy bona fides, and the knack for bizarre, not-ready-for-prime-time bits is nominating himself for consideration. That man is Joe Garden, the features editor of The Onion.

Garden has rejiggered his scrappy 2005 Internet campaign to support his candidacy to replace Conan O'Brien as host of "Late Night" -- a quest he ended when news broke that Jimmy Fallon had been given the gig instead. Now that Jay Leno is likely to retake the reins of "The Tonight Show," and with Conan almost certainly leaving NBC, the network may once again be looking for a new late-night talent.

Might Joe Garden be that talent? Keep reading to learn more about his plans to save television from its unfunny, chaotic self.

'The Book of Eli,' 'The Last Station,' 'The Lovely Bones' and More in New Movies

Required viewing from the week in movies.

"The Book of Eli" finds Denzel Washington battling roving gangs in a post-apocalyptic world, in order to protect a book that holds the key to humanity's survival. That book? Paul Reiser's "Babyhood," of course.

Also in theaters:
-- Poor Jackie Chan faces off against a group of unruly kids in "The Spy Next Door," a comedy so by-the-numbers even The Rock took a pass on it (to play a tooth fairy).
-- Christopher Plummer and Helen Mirren star in "The Last Station," an Oscar-bait period drama based on the life of Russian writer Leo Tolstoy. Just give Plummer the Oscar now. He already looks exactly like Tolstoy.
-- Peter Jackson's "The Lovely Bones" enters wide release after taking a serious critical drubbing during its brief Oscar-consideration run. Looks like Stanley Tucci went to all that trouble of growing a creepy mustache for nothing.

World's Tallest Man Meets World's Shortest Man (for Now)

It was a match made in Guinness. The world's tallest man, 8-foot-1-inch Sultan Kosen, met the world's shortest man, 2-foot-5-inch He Pingping, at an event to launch everybody's favorite book of world records' live road show.

The ceremony was held in Istanbul, Turkey, 27-year-old Kosen's home country. The massive farm laborer, who has a condition called pituitary gigantism, told reporters, "I've wanted to meet Pingping ever since I was awarded the title 'tallest man."'

Pingping, a 21-year-old from China, suffers from primordial dwarfism. He didn't say much, but did get to ride around on his new buddy's foot. In 2008, Pingping posed with Svetlana Pankratova, who has been recognized as world's leggiest female with gams over four feet long.

But Pingping probably shouldn't get too comfortable with his new found foot rides. 38-year-old Jordanian man Younis Edwan claims he is only 2-foot-1-inches tall and could be one official Guinness measurement away from stealing all of Pingping's pint-size glory.

Read on to see the handshake.

People Are Happier and Feel Healthier on the Weekend

Our happy hour fact to amaze your drinking buddies with.

Between Friday evening and Sunday afternoon people are in a better mood and experience fewer aches and pains.

A team of psychologists tracked 74 regularly employed men and women for three weeks, paging them three times a day to check in. With each page, the subjects answered questions pertaining to their feelings and general well-being. Not only do people feel better mentally and physically on the weekend, they feel more competent.

The study's authors found this "weekend effect" exists no matter what a person's job title is. They believe that it is due to the greater autonomy humans feel when they aren't tethered to the rules and structure of the workplace.

Of course this study likely doesn't apply to clowns, since they usually have to work weekends and always feel dead inside.

Boxee Box Brings the Web to Your Television

Hey, tech companies? Can we put a moratorium on stupid names for new gadgets?

Boxee initially started out as an open-source application that managed all of your media needs in one place on your computer. But with the Boxee Box -- which will be sold by D-Link -- it will serve all of your streaming needs: Just hook it up to your TV and use your local WiFi so that you can stream anything from your hard drive or anywhere online -- including subscription services like MLB games and Netflix. Plus Boxee's free software has a built-in BitTorrent client, so you can keep adding to your (absolutely legal) video collection.

We like the look -- it's won't clutter up your entertainment center and does the slanty-cube thing everyone loves. The Box should be available this summer for around $200.

We Refuse to Like the Topless Bikini From Victoria's Secret

Victoria's Secret proves once again that anything it does will capture the imaginations of a horny male public. Exhibit A: this ridiculous and unintentionally hilarious topless bikini, which takes the Borat/John Mayer–style mankini and ... well, basically just paints it black.

We're not going to fall for it for the following reasons:

1) The Victoria's Secret Web site lists this dainty monstrosity at a whopping $68, while indecency fines for going topless are almost twice that.

2) It isn't even really topless -- beneath that model's long locks are not only a pair of miniature ping-pong boobs, but a long string holding up this mankini -- oh, excuse me, bikini.

3) America's beaches are not prepared for topless sunbathing. While we're at it, can we also ban Speedos?

4) They tried this at the Jersey Shore last year, and no one fell for a designers' trap of trying to sell half the clothing item for double the price.

Sorry, Victoria's Secret, but you have to slip up once in a while. In 2009, you gave us Kylie Bisutti, so you get a free pass on creating anything sexually appealing in 2010. Meanwhile, we'll just keep on secretly praying you create a disappearing bikini line that has a shot of catching on.

A 'Bourne' Trilogy Box Set Goes to Our Best Marketing Wizard Commenters

Have you heard of the latest brainchild of the people at Universal Studios Home Entertainment yet? A "flipper DVD" is a DVD that contains the Blu-ray version of a movie on one side and the regular DVD version on the other. (Get it? "Flipper"?)

This new technology will allow a person to watch a movie on his or her Blu-ray player at home and still be able to watch it on-the-go in a laptop or portable DVD player. So we ask, what could be more ass-kicking to watch on Blu-ray than the "Bourne" series?

So, naturally, we at Asylum got our hands on a few of the box sets and now want to give them to you. Click ahead to see how you can win this mind-blowing giveaway.
