Poor Mo Rocca. In what will likely go down in history as the single most desperate attempt to hitch a ride on the viral video bandwagon, the bespectacled talking head has accepted a R.I.M. job as Blackberry’s “Comedy Correspondant” (whatever THAT means). In a series of painfully unfunny video shorts, Mr. Rocca took to the streets of New York to (and I quote) “coach BlackBerry users on how to express their love for [their] smartphones.” Yikers Island. Although there appears to be two episodes (titled “Spaceship” and “CIA”, respectively) in the can that haven’t yet made their online debut, your Uncle Grambo is pretty sure that the dudes over at Super Deluxe and Funny Or Die won’t exactly be tripping over themselves to sign the flailing Mo to a production deal.

Remember four or five years ago when Taryn Manning was an It Girl? Yeah, me neither. Still, it looks like the last half-decade of not getting roles has taken its toll Miss Manning. Actually, here’s hoping that it’s JUST the lack of work that’s gotten to her, as opposed to the scenario that she’s spent the last few months holed up in her apartment living her life like she’s Brittany Murphy in Spun.

Here’s my advice for Taryn. Clean yourself up, girl. In all senses of the word (showers and rehab come to mind). Also, the next time you show up at a celebrity Swag Tent looking for the world like a Dina Lohan’s recently rained-upon older sister, it’s best to give a polite “No thanks” to the `razzo asking you to pose alongside the stunning Elisha Cuthbert. It’s called managing your brand. Look into it.
