Celebrity Lookalikes: Spanish Actress Lina Sands And Angelina Jolie

Posted: 06 Jan 2012 11:25 AM PST

It’s pretty clear that the woman on the left is Angelina Jolie, but how about the one on the right? Angelina again, you would be sure—but if you look closely you’ll spy one or two details that makes you realize this is an entirely different person who just really resembles the In the Land of Blood and Honey director.

Her name is Lina Sands, and she’s an actress who wants to make a living as an Angelina impersonator. The video below has actually been making the rounds since 2010, but this is the first we’ve seen of it. Obviously there are a few details that differentiate the two; Lina’s eyes seem closer together and while she has the same striking eyes and big lips, there’s still something in her expression that doesn’t scream “Hollywood actress, humanitarian, and mother to Brad Pitt‘s kids.”

But in photos? She’s a dead ringer. Also, I just realized that her name is the second half of Angelina’s name; I wonder if it’s a stage name? If your eyes aren’t yet bugging out of your head, here’s the video to obsess over:

Demi Lovato’s Tweets About God Make Us Hope She’s Okay

Posted: 06 Jan 2012 10:51 AM PST

Troubled Disney Starlet (TM) Demi Lovato is known primarily among the non-tween set for being, well, troubled. We here at Crushable are generally rooting for her, so it worries us when she shows signs of distress…this time, via a tweeted missive to God.

Earlier today, she tweeted this series of musings on why God was not making her life any easier (read bottom to top):

She then re-tweeted a bit of God advice from fans:

Explained her relationship with the Lord a little bit more:

And tried to end on a positive note:

What in Demi Lovato’s life could possibly be so stressful that she’s this exasperated with her deity? Is she being bullied again? Is it her coke problem? Who knows! But whatever it is, we hope she gets through it okay, for her sake as well as for the sake of her backup dancers.

Get Ready To Say Goodbye To Selena Gomez On Wizards Of Waverly Place

Posted: 06 Jan 2012 10:39 AM PST

In many ways, the Wizards of Waverly Place series finale has been a long time coming. Selena Gomez has such a successful singing career — not to mention some not-awful movies — that it’s easy to forget she still puts in her time on the Disney sitcom that made her a star.

But no longer: The show ends tonight with the hour-long episode “Family Wizard,” which sees the Russo siblings Alex (Selena), Justin (David Henrie), and Max (Jake T. Austin) facing off against one another in the wizard competition to determine which of them will be allowed to keep his or her wizarding powers.

It almost makes you wish that the series weren’t ending, right? Over the last season especially, Wizards has become a complex fantasy show with time travel, angels of darkness, and wizard persecution—occupying the empty space left after ABC darling Sabrina the Teenage Witch went off the air in 2003. This promo will catch you up on all the season 4 shenanigans and set things up for tonight’s finale:

The idea of two of the three characters losing their powers has hung over this show for all seasons, giving it more stakes than your typical Disney series. Of course, they slithered through a loophole in 2009′s Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie, where Alex beat Justin in the wizarding competition but then wished for everything to go back the way it was, thus erasing everyone’s memories of her victory.

But this time they’ve stuck to their guns; and interestingly, creator Todd Greenwald waited until an hour before shooting the final scene to hand the cast members their pages. “It was definitely satisfying,” he said, “and the actors, who were playfully jockeying to see who would win the competition, didn’t see [this ending] coming.”

“I liked it that way,” Selena said. “It kept the ‘competition’ fresh and real. I was actually very happy with how it ended. I feel like fans will be surprised. The result matches each of our characters.”

Here’s a video of the three Russos from the finale press junket, where they discuss how the show was like high school — since Selena and David started the show at 14 — and what it’ll mean for it to be over:

10 HowAboutWe Dates To Help You Find Your Geeky Soulmate

Posted: 06 Jan 2012 10:12 AM PST

College (and post-grad) dating is likely the first time in your life that you’re meeting people who haven’t known you since you were in kindergarten. Out on dates, you could make up a whole new persona for yourself or delight in being able to finally gush about your favorite obscure TV show and geeky dreams. (We hope you choose the second option.) And if you feel like you’re not finding the right guy or gal for you, then TheGloss Dating (brought to you in partnership with HowAboutWe) is the way to go.

Users give their usual info and then are challenged to post a pithy, tweet-sized date. It can be anything from trying a specific restaurant in your neighborhood to conquering a fear. To that end, I’ve compiled ten geeky dates from TheGloss Dating that are sure to be immediate icebreakers. ”Geeky” here is not only the usual enthusiasm for video games or space phenomena, but also people who come up with innovative dates that don’t just involve staring at each other over a cup of coffee.

Each one features some element of pop culture, many of them throwbacks to our childhood… because who doesn’t love stargazing or Nickelodeon’s Global Guts?)

Video: Shira K Vies To Be The Next Viral White Girl Rap Sensation With ‘Pound On My Muffin’

Posted: 06 Jan 2012 09:18 AM PST

Just when you think we can’t go any further down the spiral, someone comes along who opens up a whole new world of awfulness you never thought possible. Today, that world comes via a Pittsburgh “M.C.” by the name of Shira K, whose subtle extended metaphor “Pound On My Muffin” makes Kresyshawn look like Ghostface, Rakim and Jay-Z, all rolled into one rap genius.

In this sadly-already-viral music video, Shira K sells a cupcake to a bakery for a pile of cash, because her cupcake is just that good. What comes next is a lot of awkward dancing, sprechstimme (I refuse to call it rapping), and paling around with people she hired to play her black friends. There’s also a bit of confusion between “cupcakes” and “muffins,” which makes me wonder if the PA native is just really bad at English, or what. If after reading this description you still feel compelled to watch, go right ahead, I won’t judge. Click that play button and laugh with cruel abandon. Then, let us never speak of her again.

Jersey Shore Field Notes 5.1: Mommy Problems In Seaside

Posted: 06 Jan 2012 09:15 AM PST

Jersey Shore Field Notes are a detailed account of MTV’s hit show. As written by an anthropologist.

0:00 – Our specimens are returning to their homeland of Jersey. Their stores of muscles, laundry and tanning are severely depleted due mostly to a misunderstanding of the metric system.

2:44 – The specimens have confused the MTV home for their mother. It appears that they treat their mothers very poorly.

3:20 – Snooki likes to pee on her mom. “I want my old bed back. I peed in it last year. Who wants that?”

4:22 – JWOWW is hoping her pet hermit crabs are still alive in her bed.

4:34 – The male specimens are exhibiting homosexual tendencies. Says Pauly: “Vinny immediately dry humps me on my bed. Just to break it in. Like old times.”

6:05 – Sammi and Pauly seem to have learned no lessons in the entire time that we have been observing them. They agree to share a room with The Situation again.

6:30 – Snooki is exhibiting vitamin deficiencies: “I never even knew how much I missed pickles. And pickle juice.”

7:10 – Friends are starting to notice the specimen’s tan deficiencies.

9:16 – The specimens are shadows of their former selves:  “It’s like the end of civilization.”

9:38 – Pauly D uses the proper definition of tanorexia: “I’m tanorexic bro!”

11:30 – The male specimens are back in their natural habitat – the guido barber shop. There is much joy.

12:10 – Vinny tries to reassimilate into Guido culture with a more aggressive hairstyle than usual. His new haircut is “a mixture of a mullet a mohawk and a fauxhawk.”

14:00 – The specimens are rejoined with their families. Among the relatives is Uncle Nino, the king of the Guidos. “Uncle Nino should be in this house with us. Honestly he should get the smush room.”

16:30 – Situation has introduced a friend named Unit. But it sounds like the other specimens think his name is Eunuch, and he brings a strangely non sexual tension into the group. None of the specimens seem interested in sleeping with him.

18:00: Situation manages a strange new instigation method that involves whispering and pretending like he’s not trying to upset the other specimens. Either that or he now has a stutter:  “Stop stop stop stop stop stop…stop stop stop stop…no no no no no….stop stop stop stop”

20:12 – The specimens return to the observatory lab. JWOWW exhibits an unusual amount of awareness: “I’m actually afraid to go home.”

21:48 – Snooki exhibits passive agressive tendencies as Situation and The Unit/Eunuch threaten to tell her boyfriend Giannni that naked sex happenings went on between Snooki and Sitch.

22:38 – Vinny displays his limited understanding of metaphors. “I was already spinning. And seeing my family just puts the washing machine on overload.”

24:10 – Sammi witnesses Sitch’s homosexual tendencies.

25:10 – Snooki moves toward simply passive behaviors by going to bed and avoiding the other specimens.

26:12 – Deena misreads the other specimens mating signals and assumes that she should follow two people walking off to the smush room alone.

27:38 – Pauly continues the cycle of disease sharing in the house by fornicating with a female the other males have already been naked with.

29:38 – Snooki and The Situation attempt to diffuse the situation with The Unit/Eunuch and Gianni until at least the next episode.

31:45 – Vinny continues to complain about missing his family, while the other specimens half-heartedly attempt to improve his mood. I believe the term for this is “momma’s boy.”

33:40 – The specimens go to a place called Aztec to help Vinny forget about his mother.

34:00 – The plan fails. Pauly: “It’s a war out there. There’s a lot of Grenades.”

35:50 – Sitch confuses Gianni’s attempt to befriend him as a power play.

37:00 – The specimens have depleted their store of personality and spend the next five minutes of air time staring at Vinny while he contemplates leaving. They attempt to change his mind. They fail.

Cutegreggator: OMG, Baby Seals!

Posted: 06 Jan 2012 08:33 AM PST

Today I learned that if you Google “baby seal,” inevitably you’ll be faced with photos of the darling little creature’s bloody demise at the hands of clubs. No matter that it was my favorite baby animal as a kid, and that the closet in my childhood bedroom is probably still filled with a couple of seal plushies (one white and one spotted ’cause I don’t discriminate). So yeah, I’ve just subjected my retinas to those horrors from Internet trolls in order to pull out the actually adorable photos, the ones that will make you squeal and wish you could pick up one of these fluffy guys and haul him back to your house to live in your freezer.

Russell Brand Is Off The People’s Choice Awards Guest List

Posted: 06 Jan 2012 08:15 AM PST

When a couple splits their friends often have to take sides, and nothing forces you to pledge solidarity to one party or the other like making a guest list. The People’s Choice Awards has made their decision, and after the Brand-Perry split they are firmly on team Katy.

Russell Brand was welcome at the People’s Choice Awards, being held this Wednesday, but now has been removed from the guest list. Without her soon to be ex in attendance Katy should be able to enjoy her seven nominations. A source explained the decision to uninvite Russell was made, “in order to avoid any awkwardness or confrontation.”

If this celebrity picking of sides mirrors everyday life, I wonder how Russell got the news. Apologetic text? Hastily written Facebook message? Look, Russell, you know we think you’re great, it’s just Katy’s feeling really vulnerable right now and we think it’s best if you just don’t come this time. But we’ll totally have you come to our next big thing. Promise.

Sienna Miller Is Pregnant!

Posted: 06 Jan 2012 08:14 AM PST

Sienna Miller, most widely known as the glamorous actress/model/socialite Jude Law cheated on with the nanny, has now shown everyone: she’s pregnant with the child of her beau of one year, 26-year-old actor Tom Sturridge. (Four years her junior, rowr!) While part of me thinks Miller should be living it up right now instead of taking on more un-fun responsibilities (and maybe another nanny–watch out for those), I’m sure the two will produce a very attractive offspring, if nothing else. I also would not be surprised if little Magenta Cuthbert Cedar Fox turned out to have a penchant for bowler hats.

“Friends are really happy with her relationship with Tom,” a source tells Us Weekly. “He’s younger, yes, but he’s mature and he’s a good guy…They just spent the holidays in Paris together after they announced the news in London.” It’s also being reported that Sienna and Tom “don’t have plans right away to marry, if at all.” How bohemian.

Video: Why You Shouldn’t Propose On The JumboTron

Posted: 06 Jan 2012 07:45 AM PST

This video taken of the JumboTron at a UCLA basketball game starts out with so much potential. Cute elderly couples are kissing for all to see. A man is about to ask his girlfriend to be with him forever. Unfortunately the moral of the clip is not love is all around, it’s run the idea of marriage by your girlfriend before proposing publicly.

It’s hard to say what the most painful moment of this guy’s rejection is. The sound of the crowd’s growing realization that he’s not going to get a yes, the way he looks too hurt to even bother being embarrassed, or the announcer’s attempt to soften the blow by suggesting the girl didn’t bolt in terror at the thought of marriage but because she’s “camera shy.”

Next time this man pops the question I’m going to bet it’ll be at his own place, with the curtains drawn, possibly by passing a note.
