  • 'Parks and Recreation's Nick Offerman Sings about His Love of Whiskey in 'My Tales of Whisky' Video [WATCH]

    As 'Parks and Recreation's resident badass, Ron Swanson, Nick Offerman brings a whole new meaning to manhood. His character hates the government, crafts masterpieces out of wood and is a big fan of whiskey. Although Offerman isn't a complete carbon copy of Ron (I'm guessing Swanson would have a problem with someone who chose acting as a career choice), he is actually an accomplished woodworker. He also loves whiskey.

  • U2's The Edge on Bono's Cycling Injuries: 'He Basically Can’t Move for the Next Couple of Months'

That resulted in the band rescheduling their planned residency on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon," and Bono had to sit out on the World AIDS Day performance earlier this week. The Edge spoke with Los Angeles radio station KROQ to update fans about the singer's condition."He managed to come out of it with what you can only describe as injuries from a car crash, literally multiple fractures of bones in his elbow and his back," he said. "But he's doing OK. We're kind of lucky he was wearing a helmet, so he didn't actually break Central Park. He's made of tough stuff and he's bouncing back."U2 was originally scheduled to play the radio station's Almost Acoustic Christmas concert, but they had to back out after Bono's accident. The singer is "so upset" about that, Edge noted."He's been told by his doctors to stay put. He's back in Dublin right now and he basically can't move for the next couple of months," he added. "The poor guy, basically his left elbow was shattered, so a lot of the work was reconstructing the joints and putting in wires and plates. He actually showed us some X-rays a couple days later, it looked like a miniature Eiffel Tower."

    Mariah Carey showed up late for a taping of her 1994 hit "All I Want for Christmas Is You" last night, Dec. 3, for the "Christmas in Rockefeller Center" special.

She did not exactly kill the performance, though, and fans were quick to criticize Carey on Twitter.You can see in the video below that Carey is continuously fiddling with the listening devices in her ears, a classic sign that singers are not "hearing it right." Now, she is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the song, MTV News points out, so it is understandable to miss a few notes. She struggles a little bit with the beginning, but once the backup singers join in, everything is fine. This is not 1990s Carey, but this is not the '90s, either. Kudos to the singer for doing it live anyway. Haters gonna hate.
