| The Olsen Twins Land Their First Vogue Cover Posted: 10 Nov 2011 11:39 AM PST
After many years of working to transition their image from “the cute twins from Full House” to “savvy fashion entrepreneurs,” Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen have finally obtained the fashion world’s holy grail: a Vogue cover. This is especially impressive considering what other famous pairs are featured in this, the “siblings” issue: Dakota and Elle Fanning, Kate and Pippa Middleton, Beyonce and Solange Knowles…oh, the glamor. This is also Vogue‘s “Best Dressed” issue, so I guess they should be doubly psyched to be on the cover of it. In fact, I’m so happy for them I’m not even going to ask why they let the stylist go the clichéed “lace over face” route for their cover shot. (Please come up with more ideas, stylists.)

| Ashton Kutcher Hands Over His Twitter To His Managers Posted: 10 Nov 2011 11:05 AM PST
When he heard the bare-bones version of the story — that Paterno had been let go — Ashton’s knee-jerk response was a bit different from the rest of the Internet’s. He tweeted, How do you fire Jo Pa? #insult #noclass as a hawkeye fan i find it in bad taste. But, as he explained, he didn’t know any of the details. After he turned on ESPN and found out that Paterno had failed to adequately intervene in his colleague Jerry Sandusky‘s sexual abuse of young boys, Ashton tweeted again, Heard Joe was fired, fully recant previous tweet! Didn’t have full story. #admitwhenYoumakemistakes But that wasn’t enough for his Twitter followers, who called him “idiot” and far less forgiving things. That’s when Ashton made what is for him a really drastic decision. Sure, he clearly sounds butt-hurt in parts of his essay. And to be fair, people did overreact. Just as his crime was assuming, so was theirs: They assumed that he was endorsing child molestation when that couldn’t be further from the truth. So now the folks at Katalyst Media will take over Ashton’s Twitter and make sure everything he says is PC and informed. Like I said, Ashton sounds a bit bitter in parts of his open letter, but he also acknowledges how Twitter has changed in the last three years:
He concludes by saying,
I wonder if this means the end of candid Twitpics of him and wife Demi Moore? Though they got flack for posting little love notes to each other, it was still endearing and made you feel like you were getting to know the actual celebrity—the opposite of what will happen now. For the most part, the responses to Ashton’s blog post have been mostly positive, fans who commend him for admitting his mistake and express their disappointment that he won’t be tweeting much anymore. As one fan puts it, I feel that the authenticity of the post is what made your following so great. Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Fun Game: Penn State Riots Or Occupy Wall Street? Posted: 10 Nov 2011 11:02 AM PST
When looking at photos of last night’s Penn State riots, I was struck by how similar they looked to a very different protest currently happening all over the country, namely Occupy Wall Street. So what if one group of rioters wants the reinstatement of a football coach who mishandled a sexual abuse case, while the other wants more controls on capitalism’s ability to ruin regular people’s lives? As it turns out, those two things look quite alike in action. Can you figure out which photo belongs to which movement? (Answers at the end!) Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| America’s Next Top Model All Stars Recap: Greek Salad Tragedy Posted: 10 Nov 2011 10:24 AM PST
But I'm jumping ahead. Let's talk about the ridiculous farce featuring Andre Leon Talley and two subpar actors playing waiters in a fight. (These guys must have day jobs as waiters. Couldn't they have been more believable?) Anyway, it was all just an excuse to break some plates and announce that the models were going to Greece. I felt super ignorant, because I didn't even know smashing plates was a thing. Either way, it was a weak way to showcase Greek culture. I would have done something fun with Greek tragedy, or pederasty. Once they got to Greece, the contestants met Vicki Kaya, host of the Greek version of America's Next Top Model. She's undeniably gorgeous, but she doesn't seem sufficiently ludicrous to host this competition. Vicki explained that the ladies would have to write one-minute speeches on their flight to Crete. They'd have to incorporate Greek words, of course, because that is the kind of thing a Top Model has to do. (No, but seriously, I would like to hear Tyra pronounce "spanakopita.") Laura fretted over her dyslexia and the Greeks' inability to appreciate good ol' Southern charm. As you might expect, the speeches were pretty awful, though special thanks to the Top Model editors for making them sound far more awkward than they possibly could have been. (More cricket sound effects, please!) I did feel genuinely sympathetic for Laura, because the Fates (Greek!) seemed to be conspiring against her. It was almost impossible to hear her over the wind, which was totally out of her hands. On the other hand, she could maybe have picked a better Greek goddess than Venus, who is Roman. Worst speech goes to Angelea, who closed with, "Now where's the baño?" It honestly wouldn't have bothered me much if she hadn't insisted that she should get extra points for throwing in a new Greek word. Gracias for being you, Angelea. Next the contestants met with a stylist to plan their looks for the final runway show. Alas, only two models will be competing, which is pretty damn disappointing. Some of these dresses sounded like delightful train wrecks. I particularly enjoyed Dominique's assertion that, "This is my moment to really let the true drag in me shine!" I hope her dress comes with a fake penis attached. Boo to Shannon's predictable desire for something sexy and conservative. We get it, lady: You're a goddamn angel. But have you seen Victoria's Secret commercials lately? Angels are sluts now, too. Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Only George Clooney Could Get Away With Saying He Loves Fart Jokes Posted: 10 Nov 2011 09:52 AM PST
Exhibit A: An anecdote about post-pubescent orgasms that most male stars wouldn’t reveal unless they were blackmailed.
Exhibit B: His predilection for off-color jokes, which went so far as downloading an app.
Did you hear that? The Oscar winner plays around with iFart in his spare time. Of course, this is the guy known for pranking Matt Damon, Bruce Willis, and even the paparazzi (he pretended to be hosting Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie‘s wedding in Lake Como). Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Video: Robert Pattinson Was Not Allowed To Move During Twilight‘s Sex Scene Posted: 10 Nov 2011 09:19 AM PST Last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Twilight star Robert Pattinson continued his endless promotional blitz for Breaking Dawn the only way those Twilight kids know how: by being surprisingly funny and self-aware. You kind of get the sense they know that the movies they’re in are terrible, but that they also have respect for the millions of screaming fans who think they’re not terrible, as well as for the millions of dollars they’re being paid.  Case in point: Pattinson described the way they filmed Breaking Dawn‘s sex scene in a way that underlined just how ridiculous it is to try to film a PG-13 sex scene where it doesn’t really look like you’re having sex. “This was literally about the movement,” he said. “It was kind of about thrusting…they kept telling you not to move…they almost wanted to have a kind of leash on the back of you so you couldn’t thrust…it’s like, just the tip, or whatever.” Thanks, PG-13 movies, for giving kids a completely messed up idea of how sex is supposed to work. And thanks, camera man, for panning over to Robert Pattinson’s red faced parents at just the right moment in the interview. (Via HollywoodLife) Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Mariah Carey Named Brand Ambassador For Jenny (Craig) Posted: 10 Nov 2011 08:53 AM PST
Since giving birth to her twins Moroccan (sigh) and Monroe earlier this year, Mariah Carey has lost what appears to be a monumental amount of weight. A little research reveals the exact public figure to be 70 lbs, or approximately one Justin Bieber. Apparently, much of this weight loss was affected via the “Jenny” (they’ve dropped the “Craig”) diet program, so it comes as no surprise that the company would want the famously shapely pop star to be their newest brand ambassador. “I feel better in every way,” the 42-year-old singer told USA Today. “To me, it’s mind, body and soul. I was in a bad place physically during my pregnancy.” For Carey, that “bad place” included gestational diabetes and severe edema (swelling), which does sound pretty damn awful. In addition to getting paid a ton of money to lend her face and music to their commercials, Carey will also get paid a ton of money to help “support” the American Heart Association’s new initiative, “My Heart. My Life.” I’m glad that “Jenny” is putting some of their massive fortune behind a public health initiative, but I hope they emphasize healthy living over weight loss, because those two things don’t necessarily go hand in hand. But as the whole point of a diet program is “weight loss as marker of success,” something tells me I shouldn’t hold my breath. (Via USA Today) Related posts: Post from: Crushable |

According to the press release, the trailer will air sometime in the second hour of GMA, between 8 and 9 a.m. in each time zone. In addition, New Yorkers can watch the footage on GMA‘s jumbotron in Times Square. Unlike the teaser, which just showed Katniss running through the Arena, the trailer promises to feature more of the “sights and sounds” of Katniss and Gale’s (Liam Hemsworth) home of District 12, as well as the glittering and dangerous Capitol. (The Capitol with all of its colorful wigs and bleached eyebrows, that is.) In the last few weeks, Hunger Games fans have been waiting patiently for a rumored interview that Josh Hutcherson did with a major outlet—and here it is! Get More: Movie Trailers, Movies Blog It sounds like Josh was an actual fan of the books before getting cast, much like costar Jackie Emerson (who plays the cunning tribute nicknamed Foxface). He told MTV,
The Hunger Games comes out March 23, 2012. Related posts: Post from: Crushable |

You have to hand it to Ashton Kutcher: He cops to his mistakes. After tweeting an uninformed response to Penn State football coach Joe Paterno‘s firing, the star — a.k.a. @aplusk, one of the first celebrities to pioneer Twitter among the famous set — 
When an episode of Top Model begins with one of the contestants talking about how she's never gotten best photo but how she takes comfort in all her adoring fans, you know she's not long for this competition. And let's be real, Shannon—your refusal to pose in underwear was never the noblest of causes. Changing lives, one fully-clothed photo at a time. But hey, I'm probably just bitter that I don't get thousands of emails from girls calling me a role model. I get a couple emails a week telling me I'm an asshole, though, so I kind of know how it feels?
The first full-length Hunger Games trailer is suddenly just days away! Lionsgate announced this morning that
