Earlier this week on Late Night, Jimmy Fallon challenged Stephen Merchant and Joseph Gordon-Levitt to "a lip-sync battle for the ages." JGL takes it with his version of Nicki Minaj's "Super Bass," but Merchant definitely comes close with Beyonce's "Single Ladies."



Also worth watching is this previous battle between Fallon and John Krasinski, who wins it with the Boyz II Men classic "I'll Make Love to You."

The [Empire State Building] LED tower light show, created by world-famous lighting design artist Marc Brickman, was designed and choreographed to the music curated by Usher for the fireworks.

In case you missed it!

The image above appears to be four photographs put together into one mosaic, but it's actually a single photograph! Don't believe it?

The deceptive work of art was created by photographer Bela Borsodi for VLP's "Terrain" album cover.

Watch the video below to see how the optical illusion was achieved.

Here's your excuse to listen to this song. One. More. Time.

Bruno Mars was both the host and musical guest on "Saturday Night Live" this week, proving that he's not only talented but that the show can sometimes still be funny. The pop star showed off his ability to impersonate various famous musicians in a skit featuring him as a Pandora intern named Devin. His performance of Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" (at 5:35) is THE highlight.

(Note: I realize now that if Pandora happens to crash in reality, it would be a struggle to make it through a work day. It's hard enough having to wait through the intermittent ads and time outs. #FirstWorldProblems)

"Oh my goodness, oh my DAYUM!" Hide yo' ketchup, hide yo' fries — The Gregory Brothers have done it again. (And I'm not even a Five Guys gal, however this video is 5-star.)



Here's the original video that inspired this work of genius.

PBS is going all out to celebrate Julia Child's 100th Birthday because, in their words, "Julia Child was a beloved American icon who pioneered an entire genre of cooking shows and taught a generation of food lovers that cooking can be easy and enjoyable."

The best part of their #CookForJulia celebration may just be this "Keep On Cooking" remix, from the same folks who brought us Bob Ross "Happy Little Clouds."

Warning: Do not watch while under the influence of hunger. 

I believe, Bob! I believe!

With the amount this is playing, this should be our national anthem.

No lie.

This, alternating with this, have been permanently playing in my head for at least 2 weeks. Please. Someone. Turn them off.

It's like a "Beauty and the Beast" meets "Friday" mash-up.

Special guest appearance at 4:04. Weeeeell, ooooobviously.

Jimmy Fallon, master of impressions, nails it again!

I remember the outrage when it was announced that Nickelback would perform during halftime at last year's Detroit Lions' Thanksgiving game.


Those folks need to write thank you notes to Boise Weekly's Josh Gross.

The king of YouTube informational videos CPGrey is back with an explanation of Groundhog Day. Will Punxsutawney Phil see his shadow on Feb. 2? Will we have six more weeks of winter, or will spring come early this year? We shall see.

I do know one thing — if your alarm clock awakes you with "I Got You, Babe" on Thursday, go back to sleep.

Remember when Ice Cube had a good day? And he didn't even have to use his A.K.

But exactly when, on what date, was this amazing time in the gangsta rapper's life?

The clues:

• "Yo MTV Raps" was on air
• It was a clear and smogless day
• Beepers were commercially sold
• The Lakers beat the SuperSonics
• Ice Cube had no events to attend

All of this adds up to... JANUARY 20, 1992!

And there you have it. Mystery solved.
