Well here we are, fellow award show aficionados. A mere week after the Tonys (and the same night as the Daytime Emmys), we have the MuchMusic Video Awards.

Why do I get the feeling Kanye West is going to take his World's Greatest Dad mug way too seriously? Today, if you're lucky enough to have a loving dad who's still around, then I say play your Old Man play whatever the hell he wants. Let's gather a playlist for all the dads out there.

You know I don't think there was ever a thing that I said to [George] that ever worked perfectly. I asked him once that same question. I said, "Did I ever give you any advice that was worthwhile?" He thought about it for a minute or two and he said, "You told me never to mix grape with grain."

Susie Essman

Actress, Curb Your Enthusiasm

My husband doesn't hate Mad Men. He likes it a lot. Not as much as I do because my like borders on obsession and fixation. But he likes it. What my husband hates, is me, after I watch Mad Men.

Patton Oswalt

Comedian and writer who lives and drinks in Los Angeles

There is a collective consciousness that can detect the presence (and approach) of something good or bad, in society or the world, before any hard "evidence" exists. It's happening now with the concept of "rape culture." Which, by the way, isn't a concept. It's a reality.

The Snowden Principle, and that fire that inspired him to take unimaginable risks, is fundamentally about fostering an informed and engaged public. The Constitution embraces that idea.

Entertainment Editor, The Huffington Post

It seems like what's happening here is that Miley Cyrus "loves" "hood" culture, thinks it's amusing and has no problem co-opting it for singles and/or viral videos, but doesn't love the idea of herself being seen as part of it. And that's gross.

Michael Bolton

Songwriter, recording artist and Chairman, The Michael Bolton Charities, Inc.

This Father's Day can be remembered as the day when we fathers turned a collective corner, reducing domestic violence and sexual abuse to an aberration, not an everyday occurrence.

Jeff Sorensen

Author, 'Zombies Ruined My Weekend'

With Man of Steel coming out, and an iconic superhero being the main showcase, people always want to know about the person playing that superhero.

Dr. Jane Greer

Marriage and Family Therapist, Author, Radio Host

Some people are better at romance recovery than others. Recent reports suggest that Elin Nordegren is struggling to accept the new partner of her ex-husband, Tiger Woods.

Anthony Edwards

Actor

It was three months ago when the network decided to pull Zero Hour off the air. I didn't take it personally, I know it's business. I was just sad for all the great actors, talented technicians and artists who but their hearts and time into telling this story.

Ah, sanity. It can be so aesthetically limiting. Thankfully, not everyone feels bound by its strictures. Ever the trend-setting bunch, some...

Austin Considine

Writer

No doubt Andy would have admired Cho's uncanny ability to work both inside and outside the Hollywood celebrity mill -- and to wield an unflattering mirror when things get garish.

Pedro Almodóvar

Film director and producer

I'm sitting at the keyboard in my briefs and t-shirt. I can see Fifth Avenue through my windows. I take advantage of this seclusion to interview myself.

Kristin M. Swenson, Ph.D.

Author, 'Bible Babel: Making Sense of the Most Talked About Book of All Time'

Just as in those fresh days from decades ago, Baez continues to sing out injustice, the challenge and responsibility to be decent in a world bent on bending goodness into greed and simple pleasure into perversity. It brought to mind the prophet Ezekiel.

Jaimie Etkin

TV Editor, The Huffington Post

The fact that this episode included so many callbacks to Season 1 -- the exterior church funeral shots, the "I know you want to kiss me," etc. -- felt more Sisyphean than Easter egg-y. I'm really getting tired of going in circles here.

Lisa Haisha

Founder, Whispers From Children's Hearts Foundation

Today's entertainment news seems to be filled with conflict. There's the Jennifer Aniston versus Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt saga, the war against the Kardashians, the public's turning against Gwyneth Paltrow and Anne Hathaway, just to name a few.

Amelia

Mother, wife, partner and breadwinner

What could I say to this young man who meant so much to my kid, this young man who, by playing a television character, had helped lead my son to tell me about his orientation and, by extension, helped change the trajectory of my own life toward activism?

Trey Ellis

Novelist, Screenwriter, and Associate Professor at Columbia University

Dudes! Tried eating like a caveman but still packed on the pounds? Embarrassed trying to choke down an absolutely raw 24-oz porterhouse with a handful of almonds on that second date with Mindy, that adorable Pfizer drug rep? Then try the Paleo Paleo Diet.

Vicki Abelson

Creator and host of 'Vicki Abelson's Women Who Write'

I loved Mary. And Phyllis, Sue Ann Nivens and Georgette... but I was, I am, a Rhoda. Through Rhoda, Valerie Harper gave me and countless other girls permission to be outspoken, opinionated, talk with a funny accent and dream of shining in a supporting role so brightly as to become a leading lady and a star, while remaining true to her essence.

Ricky Gervais

Actor, writer, comedian, director, producer

Never grow up. If you're writing or directing, give yourself enough time to play. Play the fool. Goad. Shock. Laugh. Trip over something that isn't there. Try something. And never be afraid to fail. That failure is useful too. It's just another building block.

Cameron Douglas

Actor

There are half a million other people in the U.S. who, like me, will go to sleep behind bars tonight because of nothing more than a drug law violation.
