Comedians can spend years doing shows and barely scratch the surface of mainstream success. Tiffany Haddish is a prime example of someone who’s worked hard to get where she’s at, even if there’s some criticism along the way. Luckily, with the emergence of YouTube, Instagram and other social media sites, a comic’s rise to fame can be faster, or at least bring in a core audience. Channels like Laugh Factory or Comedy Central Stand-up  have given people easier access to some of the funniest comedians the world has to offer. Even late night TV shows like The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is showing love to comics by occasionally airing short stand-up sets. Now, comics that have been going on for years can finally get the spotlight or fresh new faces can have a stage to test out their material.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez: The Date, The Fight, The Aftermath

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez’s big date night when epically wrong Friday evening, when Selena stormed out of dinner in full view of patrons and paparazzi. Now, new details have emerged about their fight and the aftermath. Justin Bieber-Selena Gomez Date Night Fight After a date at the Laugh Factory Thursday night, Justin and Selena were spotted together again at Japanese restaurant Yamato in San Fernando Valley, Calif., Friday. According to sources at the eatery, the one-time Wizards of Waverly Place starlet drove to there, with the “Baby” crooner rolling up in his car a few minutes later. Just 10 minutes later, the two had a huge falling out. “Something must have happened inside the restaurant, because 10 minutes after he arrived, they both stormed out looking stone-faced,” a source told E! News. “They were very serious and did not look happy … She got in her car, and Justin got into his.” “Selena Gomez drove off but Justin just sat there for a few minutes. I think he was waiting for her to calm down. [Bieber] then drove to her house.” “When he got there, he started buzzing her gate. But she was obviously not letting him in.” “He continued trying. Then, after a while he got out of his car, he was obviously frustrated and went up to the gate and started yelling ‘Selena’ over it.” “But… she was not coming out.” Damn, boy, getting shut down left and right. No wonder he reportedly got pissed. It was at this point that Bieber started to yell at the paparazzi, the source adds, noting that being the subject of so much celebrity gossip got to him: “He was obviously annoyed that they were witnessing this. He was mad. Selena then came out, because there was such a commotion, he got in his car and left.” Did they later work it at some point later, however? The insider adds that JB’s car was still there the following morning, so … draw your own conclusion. Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez broke up two weeks back, before reuniting a few days later in Los Angeles, and then apparently hitting the skids again. What happened over the past four days has been the subject of great speculation. Where they stand now, who knows, but it’s been a rollercoaster ride. She reportedly shot down his desperate efforts to win her back, only to spend the night with him shortly thereafter, only to storm out of dinner later last week. Stay tuned … and tell us: should they get back together?   Yes, they are so meant to be! No, they are so over! View Poll »

Daniel Tosh Rape Joke Results in Uproar, Apology

Daniel Tosh has been known to push the envelope, but a recent joke about an audience member being gang-raped took it too far, even by his standards. On Friday, the star of Comedy Central’s Tosh.0 was doing standup at The Laugh Factory in L.A. and said at one point that rape jokes are always funny. After a female audience member vocally disagreed, things got ugly. According to the woman, Tosh said, “Wouldn’t it be funny if that girl got raped by like, 5 guys right now? Like right now? What if a bunch of guys just raped her.” The woman and her friend, both “completely stunned” and “humiliated,” high-tailed it out of there as the audience guffawed in response to Tosh’s wisecrack. After she documented the experience on Tumblr, Tosh linked to the post and tweeted , “all the out of context misquotes aside, I’d like to sincerely apologize.” Smart move, though Laugh Factory owner Jamie Masada was quick to defend him: “Comedians tell jokes and sometimes they can be off color … Daniel Tosh is one of the most caring people I know. He had no intentions of hurting anyone.” “I understand where she’s coming from, but [Tosh] didn’t attack [her] … I feel bad for her and I apologize to her. If you are a member of the audience and you start dishing out something to a comedian, you better be able to take it.” Also fair. What do you think? Should Daniel have apologized? UPDATE: The woman complained to the manager but was offered and accepted a refund and two complimentary tickets to the club, so beef quashed.

Lindsay Lohan Is Smoking!

Get it? Lindsay Lohan is actually smoking. I know it’s not my best work, but there are only so many jokes a guy can make about a chick trying to get sober, it’s not exactly a laugh factory over there at the Betty Ford Clinic . Anyhow, at least she’s still looking hot, I wish she’d give us a better look at her chesticles, but I guess she hasn’t gotten to the step about making amends… She’s been hiding those things from me for far too long now. more pictures of Lindsay Lohan here

Jessica Simpson Profile Shot

Personally I don’t find Dane Cook funny at all, too douchely for my taste, but apparently Jessica Simpson does. Here she is leaving the Laugh Factory after one of his shows and giving us a decent profile shot on her way by. It’s not great, only decent because she looks like she’s got a bit of a belly. I don’t know if it’s just the way her t-shirt is hanging or what, but I don’t like it. If she was wearing a bikini top or a latex body suit we wouldn’t have this issue. Next time.
