| Katy Perry’s Dad Made Anti-Semitic Comments In Front Of His Church Posted: 07 Jan 2012 09:47 AM PST Parents can be so embarrassing. Showing your date naked baby photos. Leaving awkward notes on your Facebook wall. Making blatantly anti-Semitic remarks to a large group of people. Katy Perry, already dealing with a divorce will now be asked questions about her dad’s latest sermon, given to those in attendance at the Church on the Rise in Westlake, Ohio. A few choice quotes from Keith Hudson’s oration include, “You know how to make the Jew jealous? Have some money, honey,” and “Walk down a part of LA where we live and it is so rich it smells. You ever smell rich? They are all Jews, hallelujah. Amen.” I don’t even know where to start. How did this racist sentiment come up? Had someone raised their hand and asked if he had any tips on making people of other faiths jealous? And why does it seem not only hateful but incredibly bizarre when chased with hallelujah? Not to be outdone by her husband, Katy’s mom chimed in giving her daughter a shout-out saying, “I’m sure that Katy’s trending on the Internet was to get you here to church tonight,” which kind of implies Katy spends the time she isn’t dressing up her boobs like candy plotting ways to get people back to church, and a high profile divorce was the best solution she could think of. Trying to see the best in people, I’m going to assume this is just a case of parental love gone wrong. Katy’s parents must have so desperately wanted to get all the attention off their little girl and her broken marriage, and they decided this was the best way to do it. After all, they’re going to have to be issuing public apologies for weeks. Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
| 5 Things To Know About Your Friends’ New Favorite Show Downton Abbey Posted: 06 Jan 2012 03:33 PM PST
That’s where I’m at—my mom, sister, and Hunger Games friends are all obsessed, whereas I just found out that it’s not spelled like “downtown” pronounced in an English accent. So, I’ve got some catching up to do if I want to talk to them about it. Let’s do it together, shall we? 1. It’s more soapy than you’d assume. Part of what kept me from originally tuning in is I’ve never been a big fan of period pieces, assuming that I’ll have absolutely no way of relating to the characters’ problems. You’ll lose your inheritance if you don’t marry a guy? Big whoop. Give me sex and death! Oh wait… Downton Abbey had both of those in one of its racier plots, when (spoiler for American audiences) one of the characters smuggled a diplomat into her bed, where he then died. On top of that, there’s plenty of romantic intrigue and love triangles. However, it’s definitely high-quality programming; it’s been compared to Gosford Park, which also starred Maggie Smith. 2. Most American fans won’t be surprised on Sunday. One of my friends, an avid fan, wisely advised me that I shouldn’t write this post expecting to be breaking any news—most of the American viewers, he said, have already illegally watched the season 2 episodes online. It premiered in the UK in September 2011, and will officially start up in the States on January 8. So your friends will probably be tuning in, but just for a sharper-quality viewing of the scandals they’ve already seen. 3. It’s big on Tumblr. A quick search reveals that Tumblr users have put the Downton Abbey spin on well-known blogs: There’s Quite So, Downton Abbey (a variation on the “fuck yeah” prefix), Downton Abbey Confessions, Telegraphs from Downton (yes, it’s Texts From Last Night), and so much more. 4. Miss Professor McGonagall? Maggie Smith wins as the “stuffy old crab who’s occasionally progressive” (as my friend describes it), so for all of you Harry Potter fans missing the fearsome professor, this is almost as good as having her back. 5. It hits the ground running. Season 1 starts with the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 and spans several years, ending with the start of the Great War (what historians will later call World War I). Season 2 runs at a similar pace… so get ready to cover a lot of ground in just sixteen episodes (including the 2011 Christmas special which, according to my sister, was off-the-wall). See you here on Monday to discuss your new favorite show… Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
| First Look: Amanda Seyfried And Peter Sarsgaard As Linda Lovelace And Her Creepy Husband Posted: 06 Jan 2012 02:23 PM PST Amanda Seyfried is almost unrecognizable as average-woman-turned-iconic-porn-star Linda Lovelace, in this first image from the biopic Lovelace. The movie aims to tell us the real story behind Linda, the seemingly fun-loving, sexually confident woman who starred in the infamous Deep Throat porn back in the ’70s. Linda Boreman, as she was known outside of the movies, was married to Chuck Traynor (portrayed here by Peter Sarsgaard with very creepy facial hair); later in life, she accused him of forcing her into the movie under threats of beating and other abuse. As you might’ve guessed, the photo above is from happier, pre-Deep Throat times. The movie also stars Demi Moore as feminist Gloria Steinem; James Franco as Hugh Hefner; and Adam Brody as Harry Reems, who plays the doctor who informs Linda’s character that her clitoris is stuck in the back of her throat and she must perform oral sex to get rid of her “tingle.” Oh, the ’70s.

| The Jersey Shore’s The Unit Was Indicted On Drug Charges Posted: 06 Jan 2012 02:18 PM PST Last night’s episode of The Jersey Shore showed us The Unit can really tick off Snooki, but as scary as her wrath is, he has bigger problems to deal with now. The Jersey Shore star, legally known as Jonathan Manfre, was arrested this July when he was found with Ketamine while hanging out in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. Last month Jonathan was indicted on a 3rd degree felony drug charge, a charge that could carry a prison sentence of up to five years. With Jonathan’s escalating legal trouble, Teen Mom’s Amber Portwood spending time in jail, and Teen Mom 2′s Kieffer also being shown behind bars, I think MTV should start thinking about a spin off reality show. I’ve already have their tag line:too bad orange isn’t their color! Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
| NBC Is Bringing Back Community! Posted: 06 Jan 2012 01:57 PM PST The flash mob, CollegeHumor video, and Occupy Twitter all worked! NBC is bringing back its beloved sitcom Community after fans rallied against the network’s decision in November to put the series on indefinite hiatus. However, the fantastic news is tinged with some wariness, as shows on the bubble are never truly as safe as they were before being placed on careful watch. Indeed, the official confirmation was a bit anticlimactic. The Daily Beast managed to catch NBC Entertainment President Robert Greenblatt at the TCAs, where he told them that Community is definitely on everyone’s minds:
So it sounds like we’ll definitely get the rest of season 3 (the last episode aired on December 8), but no one’s making any promises about season 4. This better not be some sort of stopgap or way to buy time; but I hope that due to the show’s rabid following, The Powers That Be will decide to invest in Community for another few years.

| The Daily WTF: French Fast Food Chain Offers Black ‘Darth Vador’ Burger Posted: 06 Jan 2012 12:30 PM PST Would you like an intimate taste of the deep, dark evil that is Darth Vader? Then run, don’t walk, to French-Belgian fast food chain Quick, where they’ve distilled Darth’s bad mojo into convenient burger form for your on-the-go consumption. As a promotional tie-in with Star Wars: The Phantom Menace‘s 3D re-release in February, Quick is offering customers a chance to “choose your side of the force” by ordering either the relatively edible-looking (but only by comparison) Jedi Burger, or the dark and evil “Darth Vador Burger,” which features a sinister black bun. (That’s how they spell his name en Francais, you see.) Darth Vador is obviously way cooler than Luke Skywalkor, but what kinds of bitter interplanetary wars will ol’ Darth start in your insides? Find out if you dare, and may the farts be with you. (Via The Star) Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
You’ve probably been hearing a lot about PBS‘ breakaway hit Downton Abbey, the “upstairs/downstairs” saga of the aristocratic Crawley family and their servants, all living in the titular country estate. Brought over from the UK, the show has amassed a passionate following thanks to its soapy plots and class intrigue. Season 2 starts up this Sunday, January 8, but it feels a little overwhelming to jump right into it.
