Go ahead - beat me up and take my lunch money, but the new Star Trek trailer looks pretty cool and I’ve got a lot of faith in J.J. Abrams. Plus, Simon Pegg makes everything a little more awesome!

Ever wonder what George W. Bush would do his last night as president? Margot and the Nuclear So & So’s have a theory involving ladies of the night, drugs, Budweiser, egging cars, public urination, and play guns all set to “As Tall As Cliffs” the single from their album Animal! I am not sure how accurate their prediction is, but if even a fraction of this happens in January I will be ecstatic.

If you don’t believe that Stephen Colbert is one of the most awesome men alive, just take a look at his résumé - TV personality, actor, author, presidential candidate, and last but not least, 80’s rock icon. As hilariously revealed on The Colbert Report, Stephen’s earlier years were spent as the front man for Stephen and the Colberts and the band’s hit single, “Charlene (I’m Right Behind You),” is best-described as an epic ballad of stalker love. Now, the folks behind Rock Band are showing their allegiance to the Colbert Nation by offering Stephen’s infamous song as a free download via Xbox Live (and possibly PlayStation 3). This might be one of the coolest things since “Rock and Awe: Countdown to Guitarmageddon!″
Anyway check out the song and its must-see music video below along with a video clip of “Charlene” on Rock Band!
