| The Daily WTF: Purity Bear Won’t Let You Have Sex Posted: 18 Jan 2012 03:01 PM PST And here I thought I’d seen the worst of religious “sex ed” ads, but no… here comes the Purity Bear, a coarse-voiced teddy hell-bent (sorry) on keeping innocent teenagers from bumping uglies. What’s ironic is that the only bear that the Internet knows is Pedo Bear, which is basically the opposite of Purity Bear. (Although I’ll bet his voice is cuter.) This video doesn’t quite beat the stuff I had to watch in Catholic school; my favorite is a toss-up between… 1) a woman who was conceived through rape guilting girls into not getting abortions 2) the ironclad argument “If you don’t marry this girl, there’s a chance your best friend will. And then you’ll have had sex with your best friend’s wife!” …but it’s still badly-acted and has a condescending message. Related posts: Post from: Crushable |

When we left off on Royal Pains season 3 in August, Divya‘s (Reshma Shetty) world was starting to crash down around her. This season, she’s been working as Hank Lawson’s (Mark Feuerstein) physician assistant while taking extra shifts at Hamptons Hospital after her parents disowned her and she has no money. Unwilling to tell Hank about her financial troubles, she’d been losing sleep moonlighting at the hospital. In the midseason finale, her carelessness in prescribing oral steroids to a diabetic patient (guest star Wilmer Valderrama) led to him collapsing. “A Farewell to Barnes,” the first of six new episodes, airs tonight at 10 p.m. EST. We spoke with Reshma about her big plotline and the fallout of Divya’s mistake… especially how it will affect her relationship with Hank. What can you tell us about tonight’s episode and Divya’s mistake coming to light this season? She's the kind of person who's so perfect in every way and so put together, but so many things are going wrong, which is what life is. She doesn't know how to deal with them, and the one person who has always stood by her and believed everything about her is Hank. He's the last person that she wants to know. She doesn't realize that it was a HankMed patient. She's never learned that life is [about making] mistakes; she's alwas been so protected and all of these things are falling down around her. I think that's good for her, to be humiliated. You recently shot an episode of CSI: Miami. What’s the difference between filming on a traditional set in LA versus Royal Pains on the East coast? [CSI: Miami] is hitting its tenth year, so it's really contained, the days are much shorter. It's kind of a well-oiled machine. Our show, because we are so location-based, you have to go somewhere for an hour, then you're there, then you're shooting for 17 hours. You have environmental things [to deal with], etc. LA's weather is kind of the same all the time; you don't have issues like "it's raining" or "there's no sun." I think the pressure of that is easier, that's kind of what I've seen so far. I've never spent any time here; first time out. It's hitting pilot season so it's a totally different machine. The one problem with our machine is we shoot on the opposite schedule of network shows, so when our off time comes everyone else is either working or everything in the industry shuts down in Decmeber. It's kind of a good vacation time, I guess, but now just walking around the buzz of pilot season… thank God I don't have to participate. Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Snooki Follows Sammi Giancola In Getting A Drastic ‘Makeunder’ Posted: 18 Jan 2012 01:57 PM PST
However, probably prompted by Sammi Giancola‘s successful “makeunder,” Snooki decided to post this bare-faced photo to her Facebook page this morning. The caption reads no make up today, and IDC… and her fans are eating it up. (It’s got over 15,000 likes.) Honestly, we’re astonished by the transformation; we have to say, Snooki looks pretty here! Also, younger and more Chilean. Here’s hoping the overwhelmingly positive response will inspire Snooki to stop relying on heavy makeup and skanky outfits. After posting the photo, she tweeted, Can I just say how AMAZING my fans/supporters are! You guys really know how to put a smile on my face! Love You all beyond words….

| The Bachelor‘s Emily Maynard Is About To Give Love Another Chance As The Bachelorette Posted: 18 Jan 2012 01:47 PM PST
According to People the sweet southern belle, Emily Maynard, whom everyone adored when she was one of the contestants on Brad Womack‘s season of The Bachelor, is once again going to try her hand at finding love on a national television scale by being The Bachelorette next season. As with many relationships that have sprung from reality TV, Maynard and Womack had themselves what appeared to be a great beginning to something long lasting, but that came to an end last summer. For anyone who watched the season, you’ll remember that one of the main issues for the couple on the show was the fact that Womack lived and worked in Austin while Maynard lived with her daughter Ricki in Charlotte, NC where her roots run deep and she clearly wanted to stay. Maynard, always the optimist, was reluctant to get involved with the project because she didn’t want to deal with the separation from her daughter again, but according to People‘s sources the production is moving to Charlotte to accommodate the young mother. While some choose to fall in love organically, others would rather do it in front of the entire country. To each his own, but here’s hoping this time around Maynard will find her true love.

| SOPA Blackout: The Best Tweets From The #FactsWithoutWikipedia Meme Posted: 18 Jan 2012 01:39 PM PST
As promised, several major sites on the Internet have gone dark today in protest of SOPA—the Stop Online Piracy Act, a bill that’s making its way through Congress as I type. The intention is good, but the proposed execution is horrifying: SOPA is intended to counter those pirating movies and other content illegally, but as Google explains, the bill would lead to paralyzing censorship. SOPA could shut down sites like Crushable, if we posted a video that a movie studio didn’t approve of. Check out online comic The Oatmeal for one of the most shared explanation videos, which shows you what you’d be missing out on if SOPA or its sister bill PIPA goes through. For today, Reddit and Wikipedia have gone dark, and the kids are freaking out. Twitter is awash in complaints like “how will I finish my homework without Wikipedia?” But what really amused us were the users who took it upon themselves to tweet out fake facts using the hashtag #DayWithoutWikipedia and #FactsWithoutWikipedia… because without any way to check, you’ll never know if they’re real or not! (Unless, of course, you went to a library.) Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Kim Kardashian Thinks Her Doppelgänger Ruined Her Reputation But It’s Really The Other Way Around Posted: 18 Jan 2012 01:14 PM PST
Back in July, the ego that never sleeps of the Kardashian sisters Kim, filed a law suit against Old Navy’s parent company The Gap for using her likeness in one of their Old Navy commercials. In the suit she claims that the doppelgänger, Melissa Molinaro, not only has her style (because Kim wears Old Navy now?) but the way she is portrayed dancing around and singing deliberately infringes upon Kim’s public persona. While it may be easy for Kardashian to place blame on such events as Bebe dropping she and her sisters’ clothing line and even more recently she being replaced by a dog in the Skechers’ 2012 Super Bowl commercial because of this infringement, the fact is only Kim is to blame. If any lawsuit is going to be filed in this equation, it should be Molinaro suing Kim for ruining her career. Who in their right mind at this point would want to hire a woman who could possibly be mistaken for Kim Kardashian? And since People magazine took a poll of how many consumers were “fooled” into thinking that Molinaro was actually the real deal and discovered that 47% thought it was her, that’s even further confirmation that Molinaro just might be as toxic as Kim. Ew. No one wants to be Kim. Her persona and her brand have become so synonymous with gut-wrenching bile that even Travis Bass, co-owner of NYC’s restaurant Red Egg said "I'd pay her $600,000 personally not to go to Red Egg. Kim Kardashian would be crushing to us." Yikes. Duped consumers aside, the likeness is apparently so striking that as of June, Molinaro was dating Kim’s ex-boyfriend, New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush. In some cases, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but this is just plain creepy and probably a bad career move on the part of Molinaro to be honest. No one wants to be second fiddle to a woman who is fast becoming one of the most loathed personalities out there. Although we would never suggest anyone contribute to this sue-happy society by running down to the nearest court and filing a lawsuit against anyone, it would make far more sense for Molinaro to be doing the suing. How the hell is she supposed to become a household name if all anyone sees is Kim Kardashian when they look at her? Tell us what you think. Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Josh Radnor From How I Met Your Mother Wrote An Ayahuasca Memoir Posted: 18 Jan 2012 12:52 PM PST
The Internet is abuzz today with the realization that Josh Radnor from How I Met Your Mother has written, and is about to publish, a memoir called One Big Blissful Thing that’s about taking ayahuasca with a shaman in the rainforest of Brazil. The book’s description has actually been up online for a while now, but it’s flown remarkably under the radar until now. Here is how the book’s publisher describes it on Amazon (not to be confused with the Amazon, harr harr):
I’m pretty sure it’s not as huge a leap as the book description thinks to go from “successful actor in Hollywood” to “New Age spirituality drug tourist.” In fact, I’m pretty sure successful Hollywood actors are some of the only Americans with the time, money, and taste for appropriating the religions of other cultures to actually go and do a thing like this. And “Eat, Pray, Love for those who would rather be reading McSweeney’s” is makes about as much sense as “Kelly Clarkson for those who would rather be listening to Godspeed You! Black Emperor,” but the important thing is this: Josh Radnor is not a square, you guys. He consumed an ancient hallucinogenic vine with a shaman in the rainforest of Brazil, and it changed his whole goddamn life. Perhaps it was even the key that unlocked his gripping, tour de force performances on How I Met Your Mother. Read the book and let me know, okay? (Via Gawker) Related posts: Post from: Crushable |

Her white Golden Globes dress notwithstanding, we’re big fans of Jessica Chastain‘s red carpet style. She seems to approach fashion the way she did movies in 2011: She spent all her time out of the limelight honing her look, so that when people knew who she was she was already sporting gowns that actually worked with her (natural) hair color and complexion and were also age-appropriate. Mostly it’s a lot of intricate lace detailing, some big jewelry, and bright colors. And with her new film Coriolanus coming out this Friday, we’ll soon be treated to more premiere looks.

Since 1992 Eddie and Pats (played by Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley respectively) have been getting drunk, dressing like under-medicated lunatics and falling down over and over again as devoted fans watched and laughed until they peed our pants. So why another anniversary show? Because the first one that aired earlier this month on Logo and BBC America did so well and garnered such amazing reviews, that it only made sense to do another–and another. Yes, the “Absolutely Fabulous 20th Anniversary Special” that you can see on LOGO and BBC America on February 6th at 1030pm is just the second in a line of three. It’s not as though anyone can get enough of Pats and Eddie, so three makes a charm. LOGO offered this description for the second Ab Fab special:
Eddie teaching someone to sing sounds like just another reason to pop a pill and have a drink, darling. Let’s take a look back at a montage of some of their finer moments, shall we, sweetie? Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
Remember when no one had seen Lady Gaga without makeup and it was a big mystery as to what she actually looked like? Well, once she started going out with a fresher face, that mystery moved on to pint-size Jersey Shore star Snooki. Since we met the guidette a few years back, her true form has been hidden beneath her signature pouf, greasy self-tanner, and way too much makeup.
If first you don’t succeed, try again. Or in modern terms, if it doesn’t work out with the fiance you technically “won” on a reality show, then throw caution to the wind and do it again. It’s the wave of the future after all.
If Kim Kardashian isn’t making a fuss, throwing around accusations and being a complete conniving asshole then you can be certain that hell has frozen over. But that day has yet to come.
One of the most fantastically ridiculous shows to ever appear on television is about to celebrate it’s 20th anniversary for the second time. Normally a second anniversary show would seem unnecessary and over the top, but considering it’s for Absolutely Fabulous it makes perfect sense.| You are subscribed to email updates from Crushable To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
