Video: Cat Adopts Baby Squirrel Posted: 09 Sep 2010 10:36 AM PDT Adoption is all the rage these days, even in the animal kingdom. A mother cat has adopted a baby squirrel, and the little guy has bonded nicely with his new kitten siblings. Adorable and unusual family? Sounds like a TLC series to me. Post from: Crushable |

Joe Jonas Is Missing His Purity Ring Posted: 09 Sep 2010 09:58 AM PDT Where’s Joe Jonas’s purity ring? The symbol of virginity-til-marriage Joe’s been wearing since childhood seems to have fallen off. Perhaps it’s because he’s no longer pure, thanks to girlfriend Ashley Greene? Not very subtle, mister. Joe, we can think of some better ways to let the world know you’re no longer a virgin: 1. It’s all in the strut. As the center of attention in a crowded stadium you’d have ample time to add a little oomph to your performance. We’ll messenger over some Elvis videos in the morning. 2. Write a song about it. You don’t have to call it “Naked Video Girl,” but sneak in some subtle hints. Innuendo, Joe! 3. Wear an impurity ring. And put it on the market. We guarantee you’d make a fortune. 4. Just come clean! Nobody really expects you to stay a virgin forever, so just be honest about it. You’d be doing your fans more of a service than you think. Post from: Crushable |

Video: Admiral Ackbar Will Not Be Mississippi State's New Mascot Posted: 09 Sep 2010 09:29 AM PDT How lame is your college mascot? Mine was the Yeomen, which is like some kind of farmer? Yeah, our mascot for Oberlin’s sports teams was a farmer. Ooh, scary. Well, at least it’s more original than the ubiquitous “wild cats” (which was coincidentally my high school mascot). So we were disappointed to learn that Admiral Ackbar, the awesome Star Wars B-Wing starfighter designer whose infamous slogan “It’s A Trap!” will not be the new mascot of the University of Mississippi, despite a giant viral campaign by college students and ESPN to make the Octopus-looking gentleman the face of the school’s sports team. Boo, George Lucas, who declined the offer on behalf of Ackbar, saying the Mon Calamari was “too busy” to perform mascot duties. (Whatever…is the admiral retired?) Now who will take the vacant spot left after the college’s previous mascot, Colonel Reb, was removed for having ties to the Confederacy?

Between The Lines: Rooney Mara On The Set Of 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' Posted: 09 Sep 2010 09:15 AM PDT
A lot's been written about the young actress's ability to play Lisbeth, the punk computer hacker with a whole filing cabinet's worth of sexual abuse history. In the bestselling novel that serves as the film's source material, Lisbeth is described as a tiny, beautiful-but-strange-looking girl who is almost sinisterly emotionless. She's certainly an original character any way you slice it. So what does it take to convincingly play a role so many people have already created in their own heads? Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly backs up the casting decision, writing: "I think that Fincher did the right thing, and in fact made a very bold and ingenious move, by choosing a relative unknown. It gave me a tingle of anticipation that I had no idea who she was… Lisbeth Salander, even when you do get to know her, has a certain distant, mysterious, and forbidding punk-ghost quality. She never ingratiates, the way that a conventional movie star does." Much of the talk surrounding Rooney's new role focuses on the actress's appearance. People are wondering if the soft, big-eyed actress can pull of the hacker punk role. Steve Murray, who translated the novel from Swedish to English, said last month: "I've seen pictures of her on the internet and she doesn't look anything like the picture I had of Salander in my head. She needs to do some working out if she's going to play the part. She is just not buff enough at the moment. I must say I am disappointed." But the conversation is changing now that the new photos have appeared. Rooney's chopped and dyed her hair and looks quite tough indeed inside Lisbeth's biker suits and knit hats. Terri Schwartz of MTV agrees, writing: "Rooney definitely is rocking this look, and we think she looks pretty convincing as a badass private investigator and hacker. She’s definitely not as edgy in these pictures as Noomi Rapace was in the Swedish original and doesn’t look as tough yet as the character seems to call for, but we still think that she looks the part of Lisbeth." So what do you think? Can Rooney pull of the heavily scrutinized role or is she just too soft? Post from: Crushable Between The Lines: Rooney Mara On The Set Of 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' |
Study: Everyone Thinks They're Hot Posted: 09 Sep 2010 08:58 AM PDT Look at you, sitting there, kissing your biceps. No, no, it’s OK. Don’t be embarrassed. It turns out that most Americans think they’re pretty hot stuff. In an online survey of more than 26,000 people conducted by UCLA researchers, most people would rate themselves a 6 or 7 on a scale of one to 10. (We always thought of a six as being on the low side, but they’re calling it an above-average self-assessment. Does this thing work on a curve?) The group with the highest confidence (those polled ranged in age from 18–75) were on the younger side; 28 percent of women and 30 percent of men under 30 rated themselves between an 8 and a 10.

Your New Favorite Dinosaur: Now with Feathers and Pelvic Humps! Posted: 09 Sep 2010 08:19 AM PDT Remember how in the documentary Jurassic Park 3, we learned that birds directly descended from dinosaurs, so you should always be scared of chickens, because they are basically tiny, squawky Velociraptors. But until now, scientists had only discovered several late-era dino-birds to support their theory of a link between our feathered friends and those giant prehistoric monsters. That all changed with the discovery of the fossil discovery of the Concavenator Corcovatus in Spain, which contain tiny “feather-attachment bumps” on its forearms, as well as a hump on its pelvis that suggests it wasn’t used for the normal purposes. Says one professor of the pelvic hump, “It’s really big…It’s very, very impressive.” Post from: Crushable Your New Favorite Dinosaur: Now with Feathers and Pelvic Humps! |
Sweet Repeat: Aaron Paul's Crazy Eyes Posted: 09 Sep 2010 08:09 AM PDT Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul’s got a hot career, a squeaky new Emmy and a pair of crazy eyes. Seriously, Aaron has the most intense stare we’ve ever seen. On Breaking, Aaron plays Jesse Pinkman, Bryan Cranston’s counterpart in making and dealing uppers. Perhaps Aaron’s gotten just a little too into his role? Check out our gallery below – but be careful not to stare directly into those wide, green peepers. (photos via Getty) Post from: Crushable |
