| Lady Gaga’s Boyfriend Wants Her To Stop Acting So Weird All The Time Posted: 26 Jan 2012 11:04 AM PST
Do you ever wonder what Lady Gaga does when it’s just her and her man at home together? Does she put on sweatpants and watch TV with him, or does she continue to give birth to stuff, wear flesh-mutilating headgear, and say bombastic things about herself like she’s still onstage? According to a report from InTouch, it’s the latter. “A source” says Gaga’s new dude Taylor Kinney is not too stoked on her inability to separate her real, everyday self from the character she plays. "Gaga started living and breathing her character 24/7 because she felt her fans wanted that," said the source. This hews pretty closely to the gripes voiced by Gaga herself (dressed in drag as Jo Calderone) at the VMAs this past fall: “I want her to be real, but she says Jo, I’m not real. I’m theater! And you and I…this is just rehearsal.” I can see how this would be annoying for someone who cares not just about the made-up character Lady Gaga, but the real person Stefani Germanotta as well. Then again, if you want someone to be real with you and not constantly “on,” maybe you shouldn’t date a self-described “fame monster.” That said, I’m pretty sure this story is bullshit, because I’ve heard several firsthand accounts from people who know Gaga’s ex, Luc Carl, that she’s actually pretty normal when she’s having downtime with her friends and her man. I mean, as normal as it’s possible for Lady Gaga to be. If the story is true, it must be a recent development. (Via Jezebel) Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Video: NBC Appropriates A Meme With ‘Shit Liz Lemon Says’ Posted: 26 Jan 2012 10:36 AM PST One key thing about the “Shit ____s Say” meme is that it’s infinitely customizable. From sexists to self-mocking gays to people against racism, an ever-growing variety of folks have used the meme for their own ends. Now, TV network NBC has smartly harnessed its power to market 30 Rock with “Shit Liz Lemon Says.” Designed to remind all us internet-going humor lovers that 30 Rock is back and we’d like to watch it, this video contains such choice Liz Lemon-isms as “what the what!”, “shut it down,” and “I want to go to there.” It’s also got her singing, dancing, and (my personal favorite) trying to be sexy. If it was a promo for a lesser show (like, I don’t know, something that rhymes with Shitney), I’d think it was a lame attempt at marrying outdated humor with a trendy meme, but Liz Lemon can do no wrong. I will laugh at her hijinks on TV, on the internet, in a boat, with a goat, and yes, even in a “Shit ___s Say” video. Related posts: Post from: Crushable |

| One Tree Hill: What Happened After Julian Left Davis In The Car? Posted: 26 Jan 2012 09:10 AM PST
And then, in the last few minutes of “Love the Way You Lie,” Mark Schwahn and co. brought it. Let me lay it out for you, whether you watched it for yourself or are clueless. This episode was filled with bittersweet victories for Brooke and Julian: She wrangled some investors for her Baker Men little boys’ clothing line, but it was only because her dad brought her out as the pretty bimbo to charm said investors. Julian heard from a movie company in L.A. who were interested in renting out his soundstage for a new TV series, so he spent the episode excitedly setting things up for an early meeting. There’s an odd moment where Julian gets some money out of the ATM and he notices that the twenties are dyed red on the corner. My first thought was: Counterfeit plot! (OK, so I’d just reread the fourth Stephanie Plum book.) But at the end of the episode, Brooke calls Julian, amidst sirens on his end, and says that the daycare said he never dropped off their son Davis. At that very moment, Julian sees an ambulance pulled up alongside his car—the window has been smashed open, there’s an empty baby carrier, and they’re loading a body into the ambulance. Julian stares in horror, and then… fade to black. At this point, I was shouting at the TV and desperately trolling the internet for explanations. Viewers can’ t figure out what happened. The prevailing theories seem to be that someone broke in to the car and tried to kidnap Davis, or even strangled him in broad daylight… or maybe the cops shot the kidnapper, and it’s his/her body being wheeled into the ambulance? (Honestly, it’s difficult to tell size, it happens so fast.) But here’s what I think: Julian absentmindedly left little Davis strapped into his carrier in a hot car with the windows up. Police saw the baby suffocating and tried to shatter the windows, but they were too late and Davis asphyxiated. Here’s the video, if you can bear to watch it again. Gah, I’m so stressed out just looking at Austin Nichols‘ face. (Meaning, kudos to him and Sophia Bush on such good acting.) Davis can’t be dead! It has to be that the ambulance just took him away for his own safety, and Brooke and Julian will have Child Protective Services on their ass all season. It makes sense; the first few episodes set them up as dead tired and overworked; now Julian will stand to lose the esteem of this L.A. company. But don’t kill off one of their adorable twins! (Even though I completely predicted this last year.) In less dramatic news, we figured out why they filmed inside a strip club over the summer: So Chris Keller and poor Chase could bond over Alex‘s departure. Yay? Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Michael Stipe Pissed At Youtube For Rejecting Homoerotic Album Promo Posted: 26 Jan 2012 08:42 AM PST
R.E.M.‘s Michael Stipe has long been shy about discussing his sexuality publicly, but that all changed with a 2008 Spin interview in which he said he realized that “to have public figures be very open about their sexuality helps some kid somewhere out there." Since then, he’s become increasingly vocal about all the anti-gay bigotry that exists in the world, most recently in reference to Youtube‘s rejection of a promo clip for upcoming album Put Your Back N 2 It by indie pop band Perfume Genius. Although it’s not particularly explicit, Youtube told the band’s label Matador Records that it wasn’t “family safe”:
Here’s the clip in question: Perfume Genius ad from nils bernstein on Vimeo. Pretty tame, right? I can’t imagine they would have rejected a straight version of that. Sure, one of the men is gay porn star Arpad Miklos, but porn stars are allowed to be on Youtube, provided they keep their naughty bits covered (as the many clips of “Sasha Grey on Sasha Grey” would attest). Michael Stipe was understandably pissed about this, and posted this cutting paragraph to his blog last night:
Indeed. For a website that gladly helps circulate “It Gets Better” videos, Youtube is not actually doing much to make things better for LGBT folk. (Via Pitchfork) Related posts: Post from: Crushable |

Although there doesn’t appear to be an exact reason as to why it was thought that Lively wasn’t a good choice, many have been left wondering. Perhaps it’s her lack of experience in being a leading lady or maybe it’s hard to imagine the Gossip Girl actress playing such a tough role. Either way, Annapurna has stepped back for the meantime and discussions are now in place to find a replacement. As of now the April start date to film in New York City is still on and possible actresses for the role that are being considered are Rooney Mara and Michelle Williams who, unlike Lively, have already proven their leading lady success with both Oscar nominations and box office earnings. Soderbergh has yet to say whether or not Lively will be cut completely or if she’ll be shifted to a supporting role instead. Before Annapurna stepped in to provide financing, both Summit and Paramount were interested but they, too, were iffy on who would be able to produce a lead female character that would make their investment worth it. The real question here is how any producer would be willing to back Tatum, but not Lively. Another question is where did Tatum come from exactly and why does he keep getting roles? My couch is a better actor than that guy. Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| What If Sandra Bernhard Had Played Miranda Hobbs In Sex And The City? Posted: 26 Jan 2012 07:20 AM PST
Despite the fact that the show went on to become a pop culture icon (we’ll disregard the second movie that really destroyed it for most of us), Bernhard claims that she has zero regrets in turning down the role. Her choice to snub it was due to what she claimed was a “terrible” script and a low paycheck. She went on to say it wasn’t a matter of selling out and simply because the project “wasn’t any good.” The acid-tongue comedienne also took the opportunity to slam Sarah Jessica Parker who, had she accepted the role, would have been her co-star and was also the executive producer of the show.
It looks like Bernhard dodged a bullet then if that’s how she really feels about Parker. It’s hard not to try to imagine how the role of Miranda Hobbs would have evolved if the brash, unapologetic Bernhard had played the somewhat conservative, Harvard educated attorney. Could she have been able to put her strong personality on mute just enough to have kept the role as we all know it, or would it have ended up being a completely different character and show all together? In an attempt to put an end to such mystery, let’s match up some of Bernhard’s real life quotes with some of Miranda Hobbs’ situations on the show just to give us at least some sense of how things could have possibly gone down.

| Meet The Moms-To-Be Of What To Expect When You’re Expecting Posted: 26 Jan 2012 06:27 AM PST
You’ve seen the trailer, but nothing cements an ensemble movie like What to Expect When You’re Expecting until the studio rolls out the character posters. What I like best about these five posters is that you have each woman in roughly the same pose — beatifically smiling and holding her belly — but the quotes aren’t as PC as what you’d see on the cover of a pregnancy book. Unlike other character posters where they’re differentiated just by outfit or some graphics, these ladies are all unique. Related posts: Post from: Crushable |

| If Dwight Schrute Gets His Own Show Will It Be The Kiss Of Death For Him? Posted: 26 Jan 2012 06:05 AM PST
Dwight K. Schrute. According to Deadline.com, NBC is in the process of building an entire show around Rainn Wilson‘s ridiculously absurd character, Dwight. If the show is a definite go, it would be slowly introduced in the later episodes of this year with the launch being sometime in early 2013. It would also center around Dwight’s beet farm, and bed and breakfast that has been mentioned several times on The Office. This isn’t he first time that NBC has tried to make a go of it with a spin-off. When Friends came to an end in 2004, Joey was supposed to fill the void that fans were bound to be lacking, but it fell short. Although Matt LeBlanc was as charming (and dumb) as ever in the role he made famous, Joey couldn’t pull its weight against shows like American Idol and it was canceled after two seasons. Frasier, on the other hand, which was a spin-off from Cheers, went well beyond two seasons and exceeded everyone’s expectations by lasting 11 seasons — the same amount of seasons as Cheers. Dwight may be the star of The Office now that Michael has left, but exactly how many seasons fans will be willing to tune into a sitcom about beets and a weirdo with an Amish brother named Mose is anyone’s guess. There’s also the fact that Dwight without Jim Halpert is like peanut butter without jelly — it sticks to the roof of your mouth, but not in a good way. Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
Can you believe that we’re already a quarter through the final season of One Tree Hill? I’ll be honest, I expected the show to end on a whisper instead of a bang, giving the fans some pat, neat little future where they laugh about 
Just last week director Steven Soderbergh 
According to a 
Even though the future of The Office is uncertain now that Michael Scott has taken his leave and run off to Colorado with Holly, NBC is still betting on the remaining characters being able to hold the show together. Their faith in one character, in particular, is so strong they’re even in the process of developing a spin-off for him. Do you want to wager a bet as to which Dunder Mifflin employee just might have the necessary charisma to carry their own show?| You are subscribed to email updates from Crushable To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
