THIS ARTICLE HAS EVERYTHING: EW breaks down the details of every single one of New York's Hottest Clubs according to Stefon. Geeks, sherpas, a Jamaican nurse wearing a shower cap, room after room of broken mirrors, pugs, geezers, doo-wop groups, a wise old turtle that looks like Quincy Jones, kiwis, Spud Webb, the Cleo Awards, some guy’s mom, a special showing of the African holiday classic A Fish Called Kwaanza, a shake for breakfast, a shake for lunch, a sensible dinner, those shoes that nurses wear — and you can dance the night away to the sounds of Donald Duck having a Vietnam nightmare ...

WITH MORGAN FREEMAN AS THE THIRD LEAD?  You can now enjoy the first trailer for Last Vegas [The Hangover x Space Cowboys], which poses a serious challenge to the Kevin Kline Mustache Principle since, for once, he's gone full beard.

Related: a really nice Michael Douglas profile by Lynn Hirschberg, with one of the more striking ledes I've seen lately: "The only thing that worried Michael Douglas about playing Liberace, the flamboyant Las Vegas superstar, was the fourteen-inch penis."

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU CAME:  Last night's Office finale was, in some sense, the funhouse mirror version of Seinfeld's -- subtext was elevated to text, only instead of using it to undermine the show and rub the audience's noses in the awful behavior we been rewarding for years, last night went self-congratulatory and overt on the whole isn't-it-great-that-we-spent-so-much-time-in-such-a-mundane-place-celebrating-life's-small-successes thing. And then, of course (does this need to go below the fold? Well, to be safe ...)

TO BOLDLY SPLIT INFINITIVES: I haven't yet seen Star Trek Into Darkness, but I wanted to talk a little bit about its marketing.  To get there requires a spoiler, but it's one that's been pretty much made public already--nonetheless, the further discussion is after the break.  (For the comments, let's keep to the spoiler talked about in the post below and not any further spoilers.)

YOU AIN'T EATEN STEAK UNTIL YOU'VE EATEN IT UNDER A CHANDELIER!  Looks like the versatile Fred Armisen is leaving SNL as well. Too much to ask for one last Prince, one last David Paterson? (Maybe Ferecito too.)

Added:  Tara Ariano ranks Armisen's, Hader's, and Sudeikis' recurring characters by how much she'll miss them. [Unfortunate note: omits "Vance," Sudeikis' track-suit wearing dancer on What's Up With That?]

AS THE EXPRESSION GOES, WE SPEND OUR YOUTH ATTAINING WEALTH, AND OUR WEALTH ATTAINING YOUTH:  A guest post by Amy Watts, noted librarian:

I expected to find a lot to mock in Buzzfeed's "65 Books You Need to Read in Your 20s," (NOT a slideshow, single page even) but it's actually a really good mix of interesting and well regarded books that doesn't skew too literary or too pop. There are 50 books written or co-written by men and 27 written or co-written by women. (It adds up to more than 65 because one "book" listed actually featured two books by the same author, or three in the case of the Pullman and Davies trilogies, and some books were co-authored.) There are 12 people of color represented and countries from around the world. Not only are gay and lesbian writers represented, books ABOUT gays and lesbians are on the list, too. The list is also a healthy mix of novels, memoirs, non-fictions, and even poetry. And one graphic novel!

You could quibble with the fact that there's nothing published earlier than 1900 on it, but, you know what? There's a lot of lists that are going to cover the canonical works pre-1900.

They also did a good job of choosing titles specifically geared to the "in your 20s" part of the title.

Thoughts on individual titles and an all-important Doodle poll, below the fold:

DID I STUTTER?  As suggested by a reader, my arbitrary and incomplete ranking of The Office's supporting characters in order of comedic slugging percentage, from top to bottom:

• Mose
• Stanley
• Meredith
• Creed
• Darryl
• Kevin (low OBP once they made him too dumb, but high SLG)
• Phyllis (singles and doubles, all day long)
• Angela
• Oscar
• Toby
• Bob Vance
• Nellie
• Gabe
