Awkward first dates with Ben Lyons

It's a sad fact of growing up that one day, you'll awake to find that the famous people are younger than you. And then you find that the people interviewing famous people are younger than you. And in the case of Ebert & Roeper replacement, Ben Lyons, they're constantly going on awkward first dates with actresses. From what I can tell, Ben's about 14, so I guess we shouldn't expect anything less than hormonally charged yammering.

Ben, the E! movie "dude" (reporter? talker-abouter? teleprompter-reading jargon-user?) has had some seriously classic moments interviewing beautiful actresses as if he'd just picked them up from their parents' house and is about to buy them an Awesome Blossom or similar tasty 'app. Ben, have us home by midnight!

Oh yes, there's more ...

Ben bites lip, talks over Maggie Gyllenhaal ... it's a first date!

Look out, Molly Sims. Ben's gonna ask you to the big game!

Sadly, when I read the Ebert/Roeper announcement the first thing that popped into my head is that Ben L. used to date Whitney from The Hills.
