Defamer
We take a breather from all things Oscar to celebrate another star-filled reacharound: The premiere of "I'm Fucking Ben Affleck" on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night. It was, of course, the response song to "I'm Fucking Matt Damon," Sarah Silverman's danceable, genre-hopping paean to cuckoldry, delivered as a Valentine to her sweetie on the 5th anniversary of his show.
We take a breather from all things Oscar to celebrate another star-filled reacharound: The premiere of "I'm Fucking And what "IFBA" lacks in the element of surprise, it makes up for in sheer sweep, as not since Northern Lights took to the studio for "Tears Are Not Enough" has such a dazzling constellation of entertainment superstars come together in song for such a worthy cause. We defy you to watch Cameron Diaz deliver that extremely obscene hand gesture, and not feel even a little bit compelled to pick up a phone and pledge your support, that our children will never see a world in which Kimmel isn't steadily giving the big one to Ben Affleck. (Or vice versa. Despite that title, Kimmel seems the bitch in this arrangement.)

Despite everything (not a big Kimmel or Silverman fan), I thought is was hysterical.
OMFG!! LOL!!
Kimmel completely one-up'd Silverman... when Josh Groban came on... OMG. Genius.
Loved it. Thanks for the Monday morning laughs!
Proof positive that delivery boys are teh hawtness.
OMG! So expected better! Meh! Thanks!
What is Meh and why is Meh happening? We need a new Meh.
This made my day. Maybe my week.
@TryThisAtHome: Buzzfeed. They're all over the Meh lately.
Holy shit that was the Magnum Opus of "I'm Fucking ____" videos.
Also manages to dwarf everything "A Mad Mad Mad Mad World" accomplished.
I don't think this hurts Ben's plans to someday run for office - as long as he moves to Idaho and runs as a Republican.
I was stone faced until Josh Groban. Well played.
I guess I'll have to get that t-shirt too. [tcritic.com]
Seth, I had the "We Are The World" complete LP -- complete with throwaway Pointer Sisters track and "4 The Tears In Ur Eyes" ("plus many, many more") -- but had forgotten all about Northern Lights. Surprising, since I once performed it for my parents in our living room back in '85-- holding giant headphones to my ear, just like the pros. It was shortly after that incident that I was forced to join Little League.
After these videos have surfaced, where they revealed that they are having sex with other people, you just know that they'll get back together soon and have the hottest make up sex EVAH!!!!
(Yes, I certainly am talking about Matt and Ben.)
@OldTowneTavern: I so agree. I wanted to hate it and be as meh on it as I was on the SS/MD version (tho I love Matt!), but I couldn't after they went all We Are The World on me. Also, I might have to appreciate Josh Groban now...scary!
Kudos to Jimmy on having Brad Pitt as the FedEx guy. That is my fantasy come true.
Damn, too bad he can't get any of those people to actually appear on his show.
It's funneier than the SS/MD vid cos that was completely unfunny. This is 2-3 mins too long tho.
Josh Groban...yes! I love it!
@Little Mintz Sunshine:
You have a cold, cold heart.
Hmm. Quite a change from the prolonged constipation that was Jimmy's ragging on Brokeback Mountain two years ago. Guess one-upping the girlfriend trumps gay panic in the mind (?) of Kimmel.
