I want to see a picture of Kurt Cobain and RuPaul

Search: rupaul cobain

Why: Ever since my hairdresser told me that Logotv.com has full episodes online, I have been watching the everliving shit out of "RuPaul's Drag Race." Last night while watching Delta Work and Shangela act the fool on the runway, Chandler queried aloud whether RuPaul had penned the lyrics to her 1992 hit "Supermodel (You Better Work)" herself. (She did.)

But then we saw this:

Singer Kurt Cobain of Nirvana cited the song as one of his favorites of 1993 and the two were photographed together at the MTV Video Music Awards that year.

Answer: Oh lor, there are tons!

The More You Know: Speaking of Dave Grohl, he is apparently the most recent "rock star" to get all pissy because he doesn't want his songs to be on "Glee." Remember: the Kings of Leon people did that a few months ago, telling NME:

"We got an offer to appear on an episode of Ugly Betty. They wanted us to play ourselves. We were supposed to come in and help her out with some problem or other."

The band also confirmed they had rejected an offer from Glee, with Jared saying: "We could have sold out so much more. We turn stuff down constantly."

Here's the thing, though. I have it on pretty excellent authority that nobody ever asked Kings of Leon if "Glee" could use their songs in the first place. They were saying that to sound fancy, and since Ryan Murphy is an idiot, it caused a whole heap of drama. Anyway, I'm just saying. It makes me wonder about Dave Grohl, who otherwise hasn't been in the news much lately. Slash, too.

How many actual days pass in "Groundhog Day"?

Search: groundhog day

Why: I am watching it. I remember reading that Harold Ramis said the whole movie is supposed to take place over the course of 10 years or 20 years or 1,ooo or 5 or 2 or something like that, but I want to know how many separate days you can count in the film.

Answer: 42! But, like, could Phil rob the armored truck and have dinner with Rita the same day? I think maybe he could.

But in case you're wondering, here is the rest of the truth:

The original script began in the middle of the narrative, without explaining how or why Phil was repeating Groundhog Day. The filmmakers became concerned that the audience would feel cheated without seeing Phil's growing realization of the nature of the time loop.

Rubin had also originally envisioned Andie MacDowell's character Rita reliving the day with Phil, and portrayed the pair as being stuck in the time loop for far longer than in the final film, possibly for thousands of years (Phil tracked time by reading a page of a book each day and had managed to read through the entire public library).

There have been widely conflicting reports of how long Phil is trapped in the time continuum. Ramis states in the DVD commentary that he believes 10 years pass. There are 42 accountable days in the film. The website Wolf Gnards projected the time spent as 8 years, 8 months, and 16 days: based on him spending 3 years learning to play the piano, 3 years learning to ice sculpt, 2 years learning French, and 6 months learning to throw cards into a hat. However in an e-mail response to Wolf Gnards, Ramis said "I think the 10-year estimate is too short. It takes at least 10 years to get good at anything, and allotting for the down time and misguided years he spent, it had to be more like 30 or 40 years".

Stephen Tobolowsky said that Ramis told him that he felt that the entire progress of Groundhog Day covered 10,000 years. "I always thought that there were nine days represented [in the film], and Danny Rubin, the writer, said that he felt something like 23 days were represented in the movie, [but they lasted] over 10,000 years."

The More You Know: Stephen Tobolowsky's name in Groundhog Day is Ned Ryerson (Needlenose Ned? Ned the Head?). In "Glee," it's Sandy Ryerson. (No, you're not in a time loop - I have blogged this before.)

Did you know this existed in the town where the movie was filmed?

The More You Know: The Bachelor also started tonight, in case you are my mom, who is the only person on earth who actually watches that show.

Also, this was recently on Photoshop Disasters:

What are some movie names with "Five" or "5" in the title?

Search: movies with five in the title

Why: In Spring Breakdown, they play the "movie numbers game," like:

1. One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest
2. It Takes Two
3. Three Men and a Little Lady
4. Four Wedding and a Funeral
   

But it always stops at 5. All we could come up with was Rocky V.

Answer: Well...

• Five Easy Pieces (1970)
  

And apparently one alternate title to Spice World was Five.

Otherwise, there are several films called Five, each which have fewer than 300 votes on IMDb. There are also many called V, which I guess counts - but still, the one with the most votes has less than 5,000 (that's not many).

The More You Know: That movie was pretty funny. It had Amy Poehler, Parker Posey, Rachel Dratch, Seth Meyers, Ann Veal, Professor Laskey, the tall blonde lady from 40 Year-Old Virgin and "Glee," and Milly from "Freaks and Geeks," among others.

Will Ned Ryerson play a recurring character on "GLEE"?

Search: stephen tobolowsky

Why: I just saw him in a trailer for the new Fox show that will start Tuesday 5/19.

The More You Know: Needlenose Ned, Ned the Head Ryerson is his character in "Groundhog Day." In "Glee," his character is Sandy Ryerson. Bing!
