Who does the better Timpression? Project Runway contestants Michael Knight and Jeffrey Sebelia go head to head to see who does the best Tim Gunn impersonation… so who’s better?

THE CURRENT TALLY: 38 of you give it to Jeffrey, 16 of you say Michael, and the rest won’t have any of it, giving it to either Santino or the real thing. But we’re still counting! We’ll post the winner of the challenge in a few days, so for now, watch and vote!

We’ve all seen the trailer for Mel Gibson’s Apocalypto, and we’re not quite sold on it. We think it would have been a lot better off if it had that famous Zach Braff touch… like this.

• With Mark Foley adding his name to list of Famous Foleys, we found ourselves loving the hit new gameshow Get Your Foleys Straight.
• Our brief love affair with Cocaine may be coming to an end. We’re probably better off.
• We learned that George Michael Bluth has something in common with George Michael. And no, we’re not talking about a criminal record.
• Who knew that the inspiration for Zoolander and Hansel was actually Ashton Kutcher and Josh Duhamel??
• And out of nowhere, this Dueling Album Cover video came along and made us forget all about Little Superstar. Well… not entirely. He’s still in our nightmares.

And don’t forget, our very own Paul F. Tompkins hit up the Wired NextFest this week. Tune into Best Week Ever tonight at 11 to find out what the future’s gonna be like. If you’re in the mood to knock back a few while watching, play the BWE drinking game and drink every time there’s some sort of violence. Slapping, kicking, hitting, even threats of violence. Enjoy the show!

If there’s one thing douchebag Republican Congressman pedophile Mark Foley has taught us, it’s the importance of having the correct information, lest an innocent person (or an entire political party) have their reputation soiled by a scandal in which they actually played no part. So to clarify this confusing realm of politicians turned cybersex offenders, we’ve created the fun new game: Get Your Foleys Straight!

Take a look at Best Week Ever’s resident technology expert Paul F. Tompkins, as he meets n’ greets the kabillionaires of tomorrow at the 2006 Wired NextFest. You can catch more footage of this and more on Friday’s new episode of Best Week Ever at 11 pm ET!

Take a sneak peak at a clip from tonight’s brand new episode of Best Week Ever, which sheds some additional light onto the mystery of Terrell Owens‘ suicide attempt… could it be soda related? And don’t forget to watch Best Week Ever tonight at 11 pm ET!

Best Week Ever’s “Most Nattily Dressed Man”, Paul F. Tompkins, made an appearance on MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olberman last night, do discuss — what else — the Screech Sex Tape. While the two avoided making any mentions to they “rhymes with Flirty Fanchez”, Tompkins makes an excellent point: “If you’re with Screech, holding a threeway together is not easy. This girl’s starting to sober up, this girl’s passed out…” Those poor, poor things. Watch the entire video here!

What did we learn this week kids? Well, we learned that:

• Will Ferrell may not have the most beautiful singing voice in the world, but dammit does the guy know how to sell something.
• A new limited-edition TMX Elmo is released… and he might have epilepsy.
• It is now officially cool to openly be in love with Weird Al Yankovic, unless you’re in the military, and then keep it to yourself.
• It is still fency though as to whether or not Clay Aiken can even join the military.
• When Lindsay Lohan injures her wrist, you aren’t somebody unless you get your Hancock on it.
• Finally, Willie Nelson would like to wish you a Happy Rosh Hash-anah.

Make sure to tune into Vh1 tonight at 11 pm for an all new episode of Best Week Ever! Tonight’s drinking game is: “Things Children Like.” So whenever you see something a child likes, honor that spark in a younguns eye by taking a sip of straight vodka and passing out on your blankie.

BWE’s Christian Finnegan has been blogging like a madman lately, tackling everything from his dad to weight loss to Willie Nelson. Check it out.

Listen, I have something to say to all of the kids out there: don’t do drugs. No matter what you’re friends tell you, getting involved with drugs will absolutely not make you look cool.

Unless you’re a 73 year old musical legend! Try and tell me that Willie Nelson is not the greatest human being on the face of the earth. Nope, you can’t do it. What’s more lovable than the image of a bunch of elderly dudes tooling around the country in a tour bus fueled by french fry grease, sitting around jamming and getting baked? I’ll tell you what: those same elderly dudes on that same tour bus, blitzed out of their minds on ’shrooms.

After 101 episodes, thousands of segments, dozens of comedians and at least 3 or 4 solid laughs, Best Week Ever has finally gotten the recognition it deserves. An Emmy nod? Nope, f-that. We’re nominated for a Pot Head Award!!!

The nominees for the High Times Stony Awards were announced today, and BWE was nominated for Best TV Show alongside other stoner favorites Chappelle’s Show, Entourage, Family Guy, Saturday Night Live, and (obviously) Weeds. Entourage bested all TV shows with 4 nominations, while the ‘hit’ film Grandma’s Boy earned a Stony-topping 6 nods. And who ever said pot heads don’t know what they’re doing?

The Stonys will be handed out on October 24th by Redman and Doug “Marijuana-logues” Benson (I smell fix!) here in NY. We’re hoping for a statue, but honestly, if we don’t win it won’t be the end of the world. We’ve always considered ourselves more of a show for lushes and drunks anyway.

Tonight is the season premiere of Best Week Ever — so make sure to tune in at 11 pm and the rest of the weekend for your fix. Regarding your alcohol fix: The theme for the show’s “Drinking Game” this week is… “game shows.” So take a sip any and every time a reference to game shows is made!

• Lonelygirl15 fesses up that she’s not the troubled, imprisoned, vulnerable hot teen everyone thought she was, and the world immediately loses interest. Except for Leno, of course. At least DesertedChick22 is keeping it real with us.
• Meredith Viera begins at the Today Show, and in her first week, manages to get the creepy “How’s Your Father” from Willard Scott and Gene Shalit. And Lauer is already threatening revenge.
• And let’s not forget that The Tyra Banks Show also debuted its new season this week, and featured 2 shrivel-faced, rexic-in-some-way young ladies and a literal footrace.
• The President of Kazakhstan wants to talk to President Bush about all the harm Borat is causing to his country’s image. Borat, meanwhile, will totally add you as a friend.
• Lindsay Lohan lets her caged vagina sing. TWICE.

It’s the BWE Tuesday Afternoon Movie for September 12th! Every Tuesday, we’ll post a short film from our panelists, friends, and user submissions. Want to submit a movie? Send your short films and sketches to films@bwe.tv.

This week, sketch group A Week of Kindness shows us an offer we really can’t refuse. Enjoy!

Last night the good people at Virgin Mobile (who previously allowed us to bear witness to K-Fed’s penny panhandling) invited us to their big VMA After-Party at Gotham Hall, promising free booze and a performance by The Rapture. Armed with press passes, low-end cameras and our own lacking photography skills, this is all we managed to show for an entire evening of suffereing through the antics of the pseudo-famous and those who love them. Behold our cell phone’s photographic documentation of the misery you missed, then go to Gawker to see the same event through the lense of a photographer who didn’t spend the majority of the evening at the open bar, drowning their discomfort in free hooch.

Thank god there was at least one relevant “real celebrity” on hand, otherwise the waiting around and general douchebaggery would have all been for nothing.

We are total awards show whores. The Emmy Awards are no exception. There we were last night, bedecked in diamonds and swathed in tafetta, reclining on our beds, eating chicken wings while wearing elbow-length white gloves… it doesn’t get any better. While we found the Emmys to be a bit of a bore — who knew you could give 47 awards away to something as tiny as a mini-series — it still delivered some spectacular moments. Now, we would like to present The Evvy Awards: Best Week Ever’s favorite moments from last night’s Emmy Awards.

• Evvy for Best Opening Sequence: We loved last night’s opening montage, featuring Conan O’Brien spoofing nearly 37 of our favorite things, including South Park and Dateline’s To Catch a Predator. In fact, we didn’t even tie in the similarities between the Lost plane crash footage to the Kentucky disaster that happened that morning, until Matt Drudge told us it was something we should care about. Look — no one seemed offended that Project Runway was nommed…
• Favorite Sutherland: TIE: Donald Sutherland and Keifer Sutherland.
• Least Favorite Sutherland: Half-sister Queefer Sutherland.
• Most in Need of a Face Shammy: Steve Carell. While Carell held it together in prime loser fashion during winner The Guy From Wings‘ speech — side note: WHAT THE EFF? — his sweet eyes and sly smile could not betray the 48 ounces of flop sweat beading down his brow/lip.

Leave it to Hollywood to turn our lazy summer days into one crazy-filled week. Here’s what happened:

• When Paramount decided to terminate its 14-year partnership with Tom Cruise, both parties started pointing fingers in the press, resulting in one very frightening memo to Tom from Viacom CEO Sumner Redstone.
• We discovered a site called 10,000 Reasons Civilization Is Doomed and had a good chuckle about it. But after also discovering Paris’ album, Dane Cook’s idea of comedy, a Lohan Family Circus comic, a Snakes on a Plane tattoo, and celebrity scales, we’re starting to worry that the site wasn’t a joke.
• After failing to impress even the most musical-taste-challenged teenyboppers at the Teen Choice Awards, K-Fed stops bragging about his MC skills and starts bragging about his GED skills.
• Team Firecrotch decided their battles would be better fought by moving Moron Headquarters from Hyde Nightclub directly to Paris Hilton’s house, where Brandon Davis also now resides.
• Seeing as neither could avoid the necessity of promoting themselves to their target demographic at the Teen Choice Awards, Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson’s inevitable crossing of paths turned out to be one really awkward encounter.
• Troubled pop princess Britney Spears has been making pretty premature plans for her own burial, saying she wants to be buried with her dog Lucky. As the average human lives upwards of 70 years and dogs only for about 10, this means she’s either planning to keep Lucky’s corpse on ice for six decades, or she’s really trying tell us something.

The lovely Melissa Rauch from TV’s Best Week Ever (maybe you’ve heard of it) didn’t always lead the life of glitz and glamour that the BWE comedians are accustomed to. She too started out as an intern. Don’t believe me? Just check out this music video and see for yourself.

To see more of Melissa, click here.

BWE’s Paul Scheer was one of X amount of people (X= $15.2m/avg ticket price) who saw Snakes On A Plane over the weekend. And like X people, he left with a lot more knowledge about snakes, planes, and snakes on planes than those of us who missed it.

• Snakes are not indigenous to Hawaii.
• Don’t leave your can of Red Bull at a crime scene.
• Snakes can not get into 1st class.
• Always pack a bow and arrow in luggage just in case the hero of your flight needs a weapon while he/she is in the cargo hold.
• Rich British people are assholes.
• The snake guy who lives in the desert is probably up to no good.
• Snakes are attracted to breasts, specifically hot girl’s nipples.

To read what else Paul learned, click here!

So what went on during the week of BWE’s 100th episode?

• Well, we had a party and Veronica Corningstone was there.
• Kevin & Angela from The Office taught us what was SFW and NSFW.
• We celebrated our five favorite subjects from the first 100 episodes: Paris Hilton, TomKat, Lindsay Lohan, Brangelina and Britney Spears.
• We learned that James Blunt is more annoying than Heat Rash.
• OK Go released the single coolest music video EVER. And I mean EVER.
• And finally, MEL GIBSON. Ahh, Mel Gibson. From Random Facts About Jews to Rob Schneider’s reaction, this week BWE.tv broke the record for most posts about a single human being. And guess what. It was damn worth it.

Make sure to tune into Best Week Ever tonight at 11 for anything we may have missed. And if you’re one of those people who enjoy knocking back a drink or 6 during the show, play the BWE drinking game. Tonight, every time you hear a reference to the show being our 100th episode, take a drink. Mel played along during last week’s show and well… yeah, you saw how that turned out for him.

Have a great weekend!

Have we mentioned that tonight’s episode of Best Week Ever also happens to be its 100th? Also, have we mentioned that Mel Gibson got a DUI and said a bunch of stuff about hating Jews that has destroyed his credibility and possibly his career? If you missed these memos, check out this clip of BWE panelists Christian Finnegan, Sherrod Small and Jessica St. Clair rapping about Mel with Matt Lauer on the Today Show to promote tonight’s special episode, which you will tune into on Vh1 tonight at 11pm.

Best Week Ever airs its monumental 100th episode tonight at 11 on VH1. All week long we’ve been sharing 100 seconds of our five favorite subjects from the first 100. Today we’ve finally arrive at Number 1. But In Case You Missed It, here’s the list thus far:
5. Paris Hilton
4. TomKat
3. Lindsay Lohan
2. Brangelina
What a line-up. But now it’s time for #1. Here she is… our favorite celebrity of the first 100 episodes. The one and only Miss Britney Spears.

Wednesday night the whole gang here at Best Week Ever celebrated our show’s 100th episode (airs tonight at 11pm) alongside celebrities, wannabe celebrities, wannabe wannabe celebrities and a whole bunch of other awesome people at Marquee Night Club here in Manhattan (we heard Lohan goes there sometimes). If you’re jealous that you too didn’t get to spend a free booze-filled evening watching Christina Applegate and Chloe Sevigny get themselves photographed while trying to avoid all the junior publicist-types who like to drunkenly inform them of “how awesome” they are, you’ll be so very delighted that photographers were on the scene to capture the magical irony of celebrating our 100th episode with the same kinds of people we spent the first 99 making fun of. Some of our favorite pics, along with captions fondly remembering the fun, are available for your viewing pleasure after the jump. More thumbnails can be seen here and here, or check out some video at TMZ.

In honor of our 100th episode, all week long we’ve been sharing 100 seconds of our favorite celebrities. We started with Paris Hilton at Number 5, then Tomkat at Number 4. Lindsay Lohan clocked in at Number 3, and now we’ve arrived at Number 2. So who’s our second favorite topic of conversation? Well, it’s Brangelina, of course.

Who’s #1? Make sure you come back tomorrow to find out.
