| The Daily WTF: Blonde Woman Defeated By Escalator Posted: 15 Nov 2011 11:25 AM PST Look, maybe you’re watching this video and you starting to feel kind of bad. Maybe you’re thinking that this woman is from a land far, far away – a primitive place where escalators just don’t exist. Perhaps she’s never experienced electricity. Hell, maybe she hasn’t even seen stairs before. This video was taken at Saks Fifth Avenue. So laugh away. (via G4) Post from: Crushable  |
| Audio: Lil’ B Releases AIDS Awareness Song Called ‘I Got AIDS’ Posted: 15 Nov 2011 10:58 AM PST Twitter-loving rapper Lil’ B wants you to know that he cares about the issues of our day. He cares about gay people, so he called his last album “I’m Gay (I’m Happy).” That showed those homophobes a thing or two. He also cares very much about people with and/or at risk for AIDS, so now he has put out a song called “I Got AID (AIDS Awareness Song),” that is about, you guessed it, getting AIDS and being sad about it. See, all you need to do to show solidarity with a marginalized group is say that you are a member of it (but not really). I had no idea it was so easy! In all seriousness, though, H.I.V./AIDS is an issue that still affects urban communities in disproportionate amounts, so it’s good that someone with Lil’ B’s level of influence is trying to spread awareness, however ham-fisted his attempts might be. I’m not sure I like how he portrays the women who might have given the song’s protagonist AIDS, but his heart seems to be in the right place. Just because it’s not the nineties anymore and it’s no longer in vogue to talk about H.I.V./AIDS in pop culture doesn’t mean it’s gone away. B also posted a message asking people to film themselves getting tested and send the the footage to him, which I can only assume he will use to make one super-aware music video. Personally, I’m not sure I would want such sensitive medical information on the Internet for everyone to see, but the younger generation doesn’t care about that anymore, do they? Stay safe, kids.

| The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Barbie Recap: When Things Are Too Real For Dolls Posted: 15 Nov 2011 10:55 AM PST
I do want to talk about this, though, because I have a lot of feelings, and what is the internet for if not for sharing them? Obviously the elephant in the room—and I've referred to this in my recaps before—is that Taylor's estranged husband Russell committed suicide shortly before the season began. Bravo said they would re-edit the footage, but because they didn't even postpone the premiere date, I can only assume they spent five minutes in the editing room and then called it a day. Seriously, every appearance by Russell has been cringeworthy, and there was really no way to avoid that, right? At the same time, they could have removed Taylor's storyline entirely. Except, as it turns out, Taylor's marriage is a major part of the drama this season. Early promos made it seem a lot heavier on Kim's erratic behavior and Brandi's response to Kim's erratic behavior (meth, basically), which—to be fair—did take up a lot of the last several episodes. But Taylor's marital troubles and fragile emotional state have been lingering in the background. Not to mention Russell's attempts to gain control of the situation and to keep his name out of the papers. I do a lot of fidgeting when I watch this show, and it usually has nothing to do with my dangerous caffeine habit. I'm not going to blame Bravo for Russell's suicide, the way some did back when it happened, because that seems absurdly reductive. You could even argue that Taylor was in an awful, physically threatening situation, and having her life documented in this way directly contributed to her getting help. I'm not saying that was the case, and I'm not really interested in arguing either way. What I will say is that it all makes for some seriously unnerving viewing, and I continually question my reality TV choices. All of this is my apology, because I know some of you actually enjoy these Barbiefied recaps. Giggy (God) knows I enjoy doing them. (Giggy is a god to me now. Let's go with it.) I'm sure by next week I'll be back to my snarky self and living out my childhood dreams of getting paid to play with dolls. Until then, remember that no one deserves abuse, reality stars are also human beings, and sometimes even bloggers hurt. Be well, non-plastic friends. Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
| Video: Marcel The Shell With Shoes On Has A Sequel! Posted: 15 Nov 2011 10:51 AM PST My number one favorite thing the Internet has ever given me, Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, is back with a sequel that just may be more charming than the original. Directed by Dean Fleischer-Camp and voiced by Jenny Slate (formerly of SNL), the new installment teaches us what Marcel uses as a bed and how he rides the bus. Plus, Marcel gets a nickname! Or rather, Marcel self-appoints the nickname “Ace.” I did that once and people just laugh. Turns out “Boomber” isn’t the most apt description of a hundred-pound girl. Post from: Crushable  |
| Jeffrey Dean Morgan And Younger Babymama Hilarie Burton Are Still Together And Still Secretive Posted: 15 Nov 2011 10:31 AM PST
These two are a hard nut to crack. Almost two years ago, they unexpectedly appeared on the red carpet together, cementing their couple status, and we learned that former One Tree Hill star Hilarie had given birth to Jeffrey’s baby months before that. The reason that that news got past us is because Hilarie had taken a nearly year-long absence from Hollywood and the paparazzi. Obviously they have no problem with attending press events and staying relevant, but as Celebitchy points out, Hilarie has never released the name of their son. “I want to protect them like a mama wolf should,” she told Us magazine in 2010. We think we’ve figured out the reason that Jeffrey and Hilarie chose Breaking Dawn to pop back up in the public eye: Hilarie is currently working on the indie film Plastic Jesus, where she plays the mother to actress Mackenzie Foy. Mackenzie, you see, plays Edward and Bella’s vampire-hybrid daughter Renesmee in Breaking Dawn parts 1 and 2. Sadly, Hilarie will not be reprising the role of Peyton Sawyer on The CW’s One Tree Hill, even though the teen soap will have its final season in 2012.

| Posted: 15 Nov 2011 10:02 AM PST As promised, here’s the second gallery from my trip to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Florida last weekend. Now, even though I’m calling this the “VIP” gallery, that doesn’t mean that everything included is super-secret. Several of these photos you’ve seen before, but they’re what I snapped while on our VIP tour of Islands of Adventure as well as Universal Studios. (In fact, we were instructed not to take photos on certain parts of the tour, mostly navigating the “secret passages” between parks.) There are also several shots from the red carpet, with the cast and crew milling about and answering reporters’ questions, and the afterparty. Did we mention that they closed down the park for this party and we got to ride the coasters and explore the stores without pushing through crowds? Now that was the highlight of the trip.

| Hackers Flood Facebook With Justin Bieber Porn Posted: 15 Nov 2011 09:52 AM PST As you may have noticed over the past 48 hours, Facebook has grown lousy with dicks, boobs, and Justin Bieber ‘shopped to look like he’s interacting with dicks and boobs! In a widespread spam attack, pornographic (and in some cases violent) images have been spreading like locusts, descending upon people’s profiles like so many eager erections upon a gang bang. According to various sources, they’ve been particularly targeting the game Farmville, which is funny because fuck Farmville. The most obvious culprit is hacktivist collective Anonymous, as they have discussed plans to attack Facebook in the recent past, and announced the creation of a Facebook-attacking “Fawkes virus” via Youtube just a few days ago. (The purported endgame of said virus is to “use this to its advantage against corruption.” Hmm.) However, no one from the group has taken credit for the attack as of yet, if one can be said to earn “credit” for such a thing. For its part, Facebook is trying to respond as fast as it can, but as the system has no way of recognizing pornographic images, the speed of their response is highly dependent on the user flagging system. “Protecting the people who use Facebook from spam and malicious content is a top priority for us,” a company rep told ZDNet, “and we are always working to improve our systems to isolate and remove material that violates our terms. We have recently experienced an increase in reports and we are investigating and addressing the issue.” Is this the END OF FACEBOOK? Who made all that Justin Bieber porn? And why isn’t it showing up in my newsfeed? We will report more details as this story develops. (Via CNN) Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
| Amazing Tumblr Watch The Cradle Combines Kanye West And Jay-Z Lyrics With Babies Posted: 15 Nov 2011 08:56 AM PST
Watch the Cradle has only a few pages of content so far, but the submissions are hilarious—mostly because the photos really don’t need any tinkering to match the lyrics. You have to wonder where the posters found these photos: On stock collections like Shutterstock, from personal family albums, or even surreptitiously lifted from overbearing friends’ Facebook albums? We may never know, but we’ll be giggling like a carefree two-year-old over the rest of these. Like this one, which might be funniest because of the innocent expression on the kid’s face: I only hope that someday my baby will make this face and I can attach a rap lyric to it: And check out the cameo by Ashley Olsen: Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
| Video: Tay Zonday Explains The Economic Crisis In Song Posted: 15 Nov 2011 08:50 AM PST Are you confused about how we got into our current financial crisis? Want to know why those Occupy Wall Street people are so angry at the government and the big banks? Tay Zonday, of “Chocolate Rain” fame, is here to explain it all for you via (what else?) a Youtube video. In his new song “Mama Economy,” Tay breaks down our current woes in a song with a surprisingly catchy chorus, considering its subject matter. And you know what? It’s actually a pretty good basic explanation of what’s going on. It’s also evocative! “The PHDs and the GEDs cry with Ayn Rand down at the temp agency” might be the best line I’ve heard in a while. It’s funny ’cause it’s true. Ha ha, meritocracy is dead. Ha ha, we’re so fucked. Oh look, a cute girl is playing the violin. (Via HuffPo) Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |

Guys, two things bring me joy every week: watching The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and playing with my Barbies. Unfortunately, Monday night's episode was more stressful than it was fun—as much as I love drama, I can't really handle Taylor's crumbling marriage or the implications that she was being badly abused. I mean, I made it through the episode, duh, but I don't think I can bring myself to reenact it with Barbie dolls. Gross, since when do I have a conscience?
In case you were wondering, the most bizarre but cute couple, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Hilarie Burton, seem to be going strong. The pair showed up at the Breaking Dawn, Part 1 premiere last night and posed for plenty of photos.
Babies make everything better, don’t they? I haven’t particularly been looking forward to Jay-Z and Kanye West‘s collaboration album/tour Watch the Throne, but thanks to the new Tumblr
