| Holy Crap, Jonathan Lipnicki Got Jacked Posted: 11 Nov 2011 10:47 AM PST
Remember the cute little kid from Jerry Maguire? The one with the spiky blonde hair and glasses whose encyclopedic knowledge of morbid facts only made him even more adorable? I hope his performance brought you joy, because he has had to spend the past 15 years growing as well-muscled as he possibly can so that girls might in a million years be able to picture themselves boning down with him without feeling like they’re committing a crime. According to The New York Daily News (headline: “Jonathan Lipnicki, former child star from 'Jerry Maguire,' debuts shockingly muscular body” [emphasis mine]), Lipnicki stays in shape by competing in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, in which he is a blue belt. (And according to his Twitter, he’s almost to a purple belt.) And that’s only phase one of his plan! After wasting a whole bunch of years having a “normal teenage life” (lame), Lipnicki is once again returning to the entertainment business, with two films (Tag and For The Love Of Money) currently in post-production. “I’m ready to come back and I’m ready to work,” he told the NYDN. “People are always going to have this image of me as five years old so it’s my job to work hard, go into the right rooms and blow them away.” But what does he think of Tom Cruise‘s recent activities?? Inquiring minds want to know. (Via The New York Daily News) Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| 5 Facts About Immortals Star Luke Evans Posted: 11 Nov 2011 10:25 AM PST
We won’t give away too much about the movie — which definitely produces some theories about the gods alternate to what I remember from school — but his Zeus is an integral part to both the mortal and immortal battles. Here are five things you should know about Luke Evans. 1. Immortals marks a rise in the ranks for Luke in terms of playing Greek gods. When last we checked in with him in 2010, he was playing Apollo in Clash of the Titans. But seeing as Zeus is the father of almost all of the Greek pantheon, the new role is pretty all-powerful. 2. We’ll help you out—he closely resembles both James McAvoy and Orlando Bloom. (It kept tripping me up during the movie.) In terms of six degrees of separation, he’s well-linked to Orlando: The two appeared in The Three Musketeers, and just as Orlando is reprising his role of Legolas for The Hobbit, Luke will be taking his first step into J.R.R. Tolkien‘s (and Peter Jackson‘s) universe. 3. He’s got a good set of pipes, which have been put to use on many an American musical: From 2000-2008, he starred in West End productions of Rent (he played Roger), Avenue Q, and Miss Saigon. But he got his big break in the Boy George musical Taboo in 2002, where he plays the totally straight object of Boy George’s affections. You’ll see why this is ironic in a moment. 4. He’s the rare actor who’s incredibly upfront about his sexuality—even when it’s very nontraditional. At the tender age of 23, he was clearly out while working in the London theater scene. As he told queer publication The Advocate, closeted stars often get found out in ugly ways: “Y’know, you start a slippery slope downward, and I didn’t want to start that at 22. If that means I’m going to be a poor man at 60, then at least I’ve lived a happy, open, gay life and not had to hide it from anybody.” However, most recently he’s been linked to a female marketing expert from the fashion industry, named Holly Goodchild. "Luke's lovely,” she told a Wales site in 2010. “We're really old friends and it just sort of happened. We are nowhere near engaged but things are really good." 5. Luke’s first film audition came when he was 30 years old; interestingly, it was for Clash of the Titans. In the two years since then, he’s starred in a bevy of films — indies to period dramas — and his film career doesn’t seem to be letting up. Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Jay-Z Attempts To Cash In On Occupy Wall Street Via T-Shirt Sales Posted: 11 Nov 2011 09:30 AM PST
In solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement, hip-hop superstar and proud member of the one percent Jay-Z has decided to sell “Occupy All Streets” t-shirts and donate the proceeds to…himself. Wait, what? You heard me. “What better way to show your support for the Occupy Wall Street Movement than with a dope tee?” reads the site for Jay’s Rocawear clothing label. I don’t know, maybe by actually being there? Donating food, medicine and dry socks? Demonstrating you understand the protest in any way, shape or form whatsoever?  This misguided attempt at “support” might have been acceptable if it was actually going to support the movement in any material way, but it turns out it’s mainly going to purchase more diamond-studded pacifiers for Jay-Z and Beyonce‘s imminent offspring. Here’s the statement Rocawear sent to Gawker:
I know old habits die hard and Jay-Z didn’t get to be one of the wealthiest guys in the world by not taking every opportunity to hustle, but seriously? How did the irony of this elude him? Frankly, I’m shocked that out of all the people he has working for him, not a single one of them piped up about the advisability of this idea. I think it’s time Jay called his PR team into his office and pushed the button that makes the “you’re fired” trap door open, because these people are clearly asleep at the wheel.

| The Daily WTF: Don’t Tell Us This Is The Future Of Taking Videos At Concerts Posted: 11 Nov 2011 03:45 AM PST
Nooo, this is not right. The music is going on right in front of you! Your eyes work just as well as the iPad’s focus; try actually taking in the sights and sounds on your own before turning to a technological filter. What’s funny is how many people on Reddit bitched about this mystery iPad user not turning his device to landscape to properly capture the footage. However, others joked about whether the guy got his iPad snatched considering the way he was waving it about, or if after this photo got snapped someone “accidentally” shoved him into the mosh pit. And, the winning caption: Metallica on a tiny screen is way better than Metallica live. Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| First Qream Commercial Is A Pharrell Wet Dream Of Motion Sickness Posted: 11 Nov 2011 10:00 AM PST Drinking sweet, creamy alcoholic drinks on a boat in the sun may not be my idea of a good time, but I am totally willing to concede that I am not Pharrell Williams’ idea of a modern day queen who wants to drink his “elegant” alcoholic beverage Qream. And fair enough, because when you go to Qream’s website, Pharrell tells you exactly who this product is for:
If I were such a queen, I might be totally excited about the first promotional video for Qream, which was just released. Aside from all the milk based alcoholic products being shared in this video, it does look like it would be totally fun to hang out with Pharrell and his friends in Miami on their sweet boats. And if you are planning to do such a thing, just remember a few easy tips: Abstain from drinking the Qream. And make sure you dock the boat and exit before everyone starts puking over the side later that night.

| Video: Willow Smith Debuts New Single On The X-Factor Posted: 11 Nov 2011 09:22 AM PST Last night on The X-Factor, pint sized pop star and positive thinker Willow Smith debuted a new song called “Fireball” that is all about the degree to which she, Willow Smith, is (you guessed it) a human fireball. She started things off with several ear-piercing squeals I suspect I’m almost too old to even be able to hear, followed by some not-bad singing, followed by some G-rated rapping. It seems like she (and/or whoever writes her songs for her) might be trying to bite M.I.A.‘s style a bit with those squeals and “world music” beats, only instead of murky radical politics, the lyrics are about Willow’s general joie de vivre. And how, exactly, does one become “the fireball at the party” when the party in question is most likely some other celebrity spawn’s twelfth birthday? I’m thinking it has to do with eating a ton of cake, pinning the tail on the donkey, then taking a turn in the bouncy castle without throwing up. You know, fireball stuff. When asked what advice she’d give the X-Factor finalists, Willow said, “Just have fun because nobody can really go wrong with just being yourself up there. Just be yourself and don't lose the fun of it!" It’s easy to say that when you’ll never have to be judged by Simon Cowell. (Via Just Jared) Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Crushable Quotable: Madonna Used Hairy Armpits To Fend Off Boys In High School Posted: 11 Nov 2011 09:22 AM PST
It may be hard to believe that Madonna didn’t enjoy getting male attention in high school, but who among us didn’t want to jump off the annoying carnival ride of high school courting rituals at one point. And considering how often Madge was photographed early in her career with hairy steez, it looks like the move served her well. (Photo: 80sMuseum) Related posts: Post from: Crushable |

Of course Henry Cavill was incredibly hot as peasant warrior Theseus in Immortals, but we’ve also got to give some praise to Luke Evans, the up-and-coming actor who portrayed Greek god Zeus with a mixture of stubborn will and tenderness.
Concerts—you’re doing it wrong. A Redditor spotted this guy demonstrating a disturbing evolution in technology + listening to music: What used to snapping footage with your digital camera or cell phone has evolved (devolved?) into 
Considering that Madonna is a Detroit native with an English accent, it’s a little difficult to take her at her word when she talks about her formative years. That said, there’s one quote from
