Evel Knievel, the iconic stuntman responsible for wowing the world with his amazing motorcycle jumping skills, has passed away at the fairly young age of 69 years old. Evel, or the "Kah-neevs", or Robert Craig Knievel, Jr., was an earthly treasure, performing amazing stunts that would go on to become part of the pop culture lexicon (we're pretty sure The Simpsons have referenced him at least a dozen times...). He even had a rock opera written about him! The cause of death is explained here:

Evel Knievel, the hard-living motorcycle daredevil whose exploits made him an international icon in the 1970s, died Friday. He was 69. Knievel's death was confirmed by his granddaughter, Krysten Knievel. He had been in failing health for years, suffering from diabetes and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, an incurable condition that scarred his lungs. Knievel had undergone a liver transplant in 1999 after nearly dying of hepatitis C, likely contracted through a blood transfusion after one of his bone-shattering spills.

The question now is: Who in the world is going to replace Evel? Whatever happened to amazing stunts and showmanship!? The world is a much less exciting place without him. Here's to hoping Super Dave Osbourne (read: Marty Funkhouser) will speak at his funeral. We'll miss you Evel!

Seeing as there wasn't a new episode of The Office on NBC last night, this Friday will, sadly, remain recapless (meaning I'll finally get to go home before 8 PM - yay for me!). So what are we left to do? Myself, I'm going to go watch 30 Rock online (no spoilers, please), the one show that, along with The Real Housewives of the O.C., keeps me going during the week. While I do that, and while you get your mournin' socks on, take a look at the following video, put together by Charlie Todd and some of the other funny guys from UCB NY, which asks the question: What would The Office be like without any writers? The answer: Ummm pretty much what your office is probably like now. Enjoy!

From COLLEGE CANDY -- If Britney Spears tired as hard to get her kids back as she does to get her fans back...well, she'd still be working on it. Next up, direct her video for Piece of Me! Find out the details, after the jump! Direct Britney Spears Next Video!

Calling all film majors! Think you know how Britney’s next video for “Piece of Me” should look? MTV wants you to direct it!

MTV’s “Britney Spears wants a Piece of You” contest kicks off on Monday and is calling for die-hard Britney fans to put together a video counterpart to the official video Brit shot this week. But what if you’ve never submitted anything to YouTube? (get with it, people!) It’s no problem.

To enter the contest all you have to do is download the MTV Video Remixer. Then you pick the shots you wants to use, mash them together and –viola!– you’ve got a submission! The video can be up to 3:34 in length and the winner will premiere on TRL on December 20th.

But you better get on it quick! Entries are due by December 14.

Having your video premiere on TRL is cool and all, but the true prize is having your video premiere before the official one. That won’t surface until Janurary.

Britney Spears is lazy and slow? Shocking.

For this week's edition of I Like To Watch, we strapped our homedog Brian Faas into a chair and held his eyelids open with futuristic clamps like in A Clockwork Orange, then forced him to vomit his way through Lindsay Lohan's I Know Who Killed Me, the idiotic movie inspired by idiotic Bratz dolls, and The Namesake, whatever that was. He may not have liked it, but he watched. Oh yes he did.

On the left, we have shady multi-millionaire Manhattanite Anthony Marshall (who is now facing criminal charges for trying to swindle millions from his 105 year-old dying philanthropist mother Brooke Astor), and on the right it's Donald Sutherland in Dirty Sexy Money, playing shady multi-millionaire Manhattanite Tripp Darling (who, as cartoonishly crooked as he is, probably wouldn't even do that to his own mother). It's like the chicken or the egg.
