| Rachael Ray and Husband Rock Out at CMJ Posted: 20 Oct 2010 10:50 AM PDT If you happened to be at NYC rock club The Village Underground last night to see the beginning of the CMJ music festival, you may have caught a glimpse of perky food host Rachael Ray. She was hanging out in the front row while her husband, John Cusimano, played guitar and sang with his band The Cringe. He went on to dedicate a song to his lovely lady. Aw! And in case you’re wondering what you missed, here’s a sample of The Cringe’s sound… Post from: Crushable Rachael Ray and Husband Rock Out at CMJ |
| How I Snuck Into The Ivy League. And You Can Too. Posted: 20 Oct 2010 10:17 AM PDT
If you want to get a degree from that school, eventually you’ll need to get accepted, but there are ways around that too. I got rejected from Columbia University twice, but eventually sweet talked my way in. And got a degree for half the price of my classmates. If you go to a high school counselor to find out about college, you’ll get a lot of advice (or maybe just a lot of applications). But they never offer up the most valuable piece of advice that I learned: you can go to any school you want. If you try hard enough. I’m not talking about having a high GPA or great SAT scores (though those help). I’m talking about the fact that any potential student can take classes at basically any university they want. You won’t be a matriculating student, but you can change that too, with a little work. Take my example: I went to SUNY Geneseo for a year and then studied abroad in Europe (paying low state school tuition). When I got back, I decided I wanted to transfer schools. My mother, who had been a New York state public school teacher for 30 years, told me to pick a school I wanted a degree from and start taking classes there. At first I didn’t believe that this would work. Why don’t college counselors inform students that they don’t need to fill out the common app as a high school senior to get into a good college? I had fine grades in high school, but I never would have gotten into the Ivy League then, and I didn’t bother applying to any at the time. When I got back from studying abroad, I got a job and looked around for the best school I could commute to from my parents’ house. That was Columbia.

| 5 Best Quotes From 'Tuna Meltdown' Saga Posted: 20 Oct 2010 10:13 AM PDT
I Had a Tuna Meltdown is the best article we’ve read all week, and not just because of the title, or the ridiculousness of a guy gunning for a settlement as only Americans who pour scalding McDonald’s coffee on themselves can. We also love the article for its amazing choice of quotes and descriptions: 1.”Lee Porrazzo of White Plains told The Post he and his roommate and workout partner Roland Muccini, would make regular runs to the local Stop & Shop to load up on cans of tuna fish thinking they were eating healthy.” 2. “But the 48-year-old BMW salesman…says he started scarfing the seafood in January 2006…the brand was ‘usually on sale’ for $1 a can.” 3. “‘One day I got a call from the [state] Health Department,’ he said. ‘They said, ‘Normally we don’t contact people, but your levels are so high we had to contact you.’” 4. The Health Department staffer also told him to stop eating tuna. Post from: Crushable 5 Best Quotes From 'Tuna Meltdown' Saga |

| TrickorVote: Putting the 'Fun' Back Into 'Midterm Elections'! Posted: 20 Oct 2010 09:30 AM PDT
From the site’s press release:
We’re all for Grassroots organizing, but using Halloween to talk about politics is like using your nephew’s briss as a platform for your Go Green campaign. It just doesn’t make any sense, you’ll scare the kids, and midterm elections are confusing enough as it is without adding masked, overenthusiastic advocates to the mix. That’s just scary. (Though we are considering going as Jim McMillian this Halloween, but that’s totally separate.) * If this is a nation-wide campaign, where is the Passion Pit playing? More confusion! Also, did they get Julie Klausner to be in one of their nonsensical videos?! Post from: Crushable TrickorVote: Putting the 'Fun' Back Into 'Midterm Elections'! |

| Illustrious Illustrations: The Best Of James Franco DeviantART Posted: 20 Oct 2010 08:57 AM PDT
We’re all painfully aware that lately James Franco’s been billing himself more as an artist than an actor. But did you know the Pineapple Expersser is also an artists’ muse? We had a hunch that if we searched around a little we’d find some pretty epic James Franco fan art, and we were right! A whole darn gallery’s worth of right.

| Rachel Bilson Wears The Season's Must-Have: Shearling Boots Posted: 20 Oct 2010 09:13 AM PDT The following is a guest post from our friends at Luckymag.com. As she was leaving a casting meeting yesterday in West Hollywood, Rachel Bilson was photographed wearing a totally inspiring fall outfit.
In a slouchy cardigan layered over jeans and a tee, the actress looked casual but very cute. A classic quilted Chanel bag gave her cozy ensemble an extra dose of chic. But the real standout item in her look wasn’t her carryall–it was her footwear. Both practical and pretty, the star’s shearling-trimmed boots are one of the biggest trends this season (just check out our shearling accessories report on pg. 139 of our November issue). What do you think Bilson’s fall outfit? Do you like her boots? Want more style, shopping and fashion tips? Visit Luckymag.com.

| Off the Market: Sensis Condoms with QuickStrips Posted: 20 Oct 2010 09:08 AM PDT
Luckily, Sensis Condoms has found a way to make using protection user-friendly by adding “QuickStrip” tabs that you pull down with the condom and then discard, kind of like the outside of a BandAid. Just look at Crushable’s Liana give a demonstration! (With a candlestick, you pervs.) Okay, so it looks a little awkward in the application, but this is major steps in condom revolution we’re talking about here! No more holes from accidentally scratching the condom with your nails, or spending hours with a banana trying to figure out how much room to leave at the tip. Pull, peel, and you’re done! So what do you guys hink? Would you buy these new kind of rubbers? Post from: Crushable Off the Market: Sensis Condoms with QuickStrips |
There is a simple piece of advice for college applicants that guidance counselors don’t tell you. You don’t need to get accepted by an Ivy League school to go to class there.
We have a special fondness in our hearts for punny New York Post headlines, but we may have to award first place to the title of this epic epic story of a man who ate 10 cans of tuna a week for years, and is now suing Bumblee Tuna and the supermarket who sold the fish to him after he developed symptoms of mercury poisoning.
File this under: ways to make your neighbors hate you on Halloween.

How old were you when you first learned how to put a condom on a guy? Do you still not know how to do it? You’re not alone: 30 percent of condom application is done incorrectly the first time around, meaning that even guys who ostensibly do this like, all the time, often fumble around in the dark while trying not break the mood. Even “flipping” a contraceptive — meaning that you put it on upside-down and then have to flip it over — increases your risk of getting STDs.
