TV Buzz NBC debuted a promotional spot called “The Brotherhood of Man” over the weekend and while it was cool to see Ron Swanson, Jack Donaghy, Andy Bernard, and Brian Williams performing a musical ditty together, it also caused many rolled eyes and raised eyebrows. Not to worry, internet! TV networks have been churning out these silly ads — in which all of the network's biggest stars put on a song and dance in one long extended commercial — for decades.
Music Buzz Tumblr user Synecdoche wrote a perfect opening scene for Fred Durst’s new sitcom. The real show is currently in development for CBS’ fall lineup.
TV Buzz Late-night wars come and go, but grudges last forever. Renowned Jay Leno-hater Howard Stern joined David Letterman on tonight's “Late Show” to congratulate Letterman on his 30 years in late-night TV. And since Letterman hates Leno just as much as Stern does, what better way to celebrate than by spending five minutes talking smack about him!
TV Buzz The 2012 presidential election would already be over if politics was more like like American Idol and high school. (via cbs.com)
Tech Buzz Anonymous attacked CBS.com Sunday afternoon, deleting all its files except for a single index page. CBS, outspoken for its support of SOPA and PIPA legislation, is currently back up and running. UniversalMusic.com, also pro-SOPA and -PIPA, was also reportedly taken down for a brief period of time.
TV Buzz This morning marked the very last episode of the “CBS Early Show.” Come Monday morning, you'll be tuning into “CBS This Morning” instead.
Politics Buzz Rick Perry laughs away the pain on the Late Show.
On Sunday's Face the Nation, Herman Cain defended his wacky campaign ad that has his chief of staff Mark Block smoking a cig. “Let Mark be Mark,” Cain said. “Let people be people.” That's when host Bob Schieffer nailed him for running an irresponsible ad, and the GOP candidate started singing a different tune.

Politics Buzz Here is Hilary Clinton's reaction to the unconfirmed capture of Gaddafi. She seems fairly unfazed, but this was before there were reports of his death. (via newsweek.tumblr.com)
Chicago's CBS affiliate interviewed a 4-year-old black boy after a violent attack in his neighborhood. The kid said he was going to have a gun when he grows up… Because he's going to be a police officer. Guess which part the news left out. Ah racism… (via gawker.com)
Culture Buzz James Whittemore, a 22-year-old actor alternately described by media outlets as “jobless” and “failed,” got drunk on Saturday night and smashed his way into the Ed Sullivan Theater (after being caught urinating on the doors by surveillance cameras). He proceeded to cause $5,000 worth of damage to the lobby and box office. Hopefully he takes this act on the road and trashes Leno's theater.
Music Buzz Last night, BuzzFeed editor Peggy Wang became the first BuzzFeed editor to play Letterman!!! Yay, Peggy!!! Peggy's band, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, played “Heart In Your Heartbreak” off their sophomore album Belong.
Celebrity Buzz In the last 48 hours at least. Last year, Buzzfeed dulled the crazy of Mel Gibson with kittens. Well Charlie Sheen is no Mel, so he only needs bunnies to even out the insanity.
TV Buzz After the success of $#*! My Dad Says, CBS is looking into acquiring more Internet hits to fill out their fall lineup. Finally! I was worried that Antoine Dodson wasn't getting enough exposure.
A commercial for Mancrunch, a new gay dating website, will not be aired during the Superbowl, which would be less weird if CBS hadn't given the OK to a pro-life commercial featuring Tim Tebow. To be fair, babies are cute. Two dudes kissing? Not so much, says CBS.
Okay, so I lied. This is what women REALLY want for Christmas.
CBS is going to run an ad in Entertainment Weekly that will feature an embedded video player that starts automatically when the page is turned. Next we'll be eating whole meals packed into pills and our robot butlers will make our beds for us.

Don Hewitt, the CBS newsman who created “60 Minutes” and produced the popular newsmagazine for 36 years, died Wednesday. He was 86.
Bunny bathtime is the new hot thing. All the bunnies are doing it…
Though, to be honest, is there anything as crushing as being…
