Video: Yvonne Strahovski appears in College Humor's "Three Pop Stars, One Song"



"I'm from the year 3000. I'm here to eat your penis."

Chuck's Yvonne Strahovski gets her very own College Humor showcase, in this spoof music video where she takes on the guises of Katy Perry, Ke$ha and Lady Gaga. It's the not-entirely-funny "Three Pop Stars, One Song" music video! But it's worth watching just to see Yvonne wearing a cream-spurting bra and (to a much lesser extent) blowing chunks into a toilet bowl. It's fun seeing her doing something outside of Chuck, anyway.

Advert: 'Virgin Media' (Dan Black's "Symphonies")


Virgin Media have a brand new advert, which you can watch above. It's pretty good, certainly more intriguing and stylish than Sky's commercials, if still very unfocused on telling people what the advantages of Virgin are over their satellite rival! And why are there no adverts for the excellent, cutting-edge TiVo box they have on the market? Crazy.

But anyway, what grabbed my attention about this advert was the beautiful music, which samples the theme from John Carpenter's 1984 sci-fi road movie Starman. It's called "Symphonies" and it's by an artist called Dan Black.

You can hear the full "Starman" theme below, together with other versions:

Pretty great, no? But I wonder if Virgin are happy we're discussing the choice of music over their own cable offerings? Oh well, at least we're discussing the advert in some form. Time to rent Starman again, too.
