The Daily WTF: Look At This Tramp Stamp Tramp Stamp

Posted: 27 Oct 2010 11:06 AM PDT

We see what you did there. And so will every person you ever strip, swim or stretch in front of. Personally, we would have gone with a Lady and the Tramp- themed rubber stamp. But like that old tattoo artist expression goes, there’s always the other side of the lower back.

Munn in the middle. It turns out Olivia Munn isn’t only getting into trouble for joining the cast of The Daily Show. She reportedly earned the ire of Jessica Biel, by sleeping with Justin Timberlake. And now, we didn’t need to know they had “amazing sex.” (US)

Did Teen Mom's Amber Portwood Try To Kill Herself?

Posted: 27 Oct 2010 10:54 AM PDT

As it turns out, lawsuits for domestic abuse don’t suit Teen Mom star Amber Portwood so well. Ever since that fateful episode of the show a few weeks ago showing Amber verbally and physically abusing her on again off again boyfriend Gary Shirley, Amber and Gary have been on a PR offensive trying to redeem her name in the public eye.

They recently announced that they’d be renewing their commitment to one another (even though they were thoroughly broken up on the show this season). And now it looks like Amber may have tried taking her life.

Jordan Sanchez, an old friend of Amber's baby daddy tells Life & Style:

"Gary told me that there have been several instances where Amber would say to him, 'Come home or I'm gonna kill myself!'" To make matters worse, Jordan also believes Amber is abusing Klonopin, a powerful sedative, AND that the Teen Mom star sometimes sleeps till 7 p.m.!

It’s clear from the show that Amber is not in a good mental place. In addition to an ongoing investigation by the Indiana Department of Child Services, we have a feeling that Amber Portwood is dealing with more medicinal problems than just Klonopin. Her dramatic weightloss may be due in part to diet and exercise, but we have a feeling that there are other meds in the mix. And all that is clearly not reacting well together.

5 Things About 16 and Pregnant's Brooke Smitherman-Tarrant

Posted: 27 Oct 2010 10:33 AM PDT

MTV’s 16 and Pregnant is a bit of a grab bag show. Since the producers take an hour to tell the story of one girl’s pregnancy, it is slow going if the girl isn’t interesting. But considering the network has been getting a lot flack for the bad behavior of its teenage moms lately, it makes sense that they aired an episode about a relatively sane, mundane girl on last night’s first new episode in awhile. Last night we met Brooke Smitherman-Tarrant. The episode was a slow burn of depression, as Brooke seems like a well intentioned, if under-motivated girl in a happy relationship when she gets pregnant. Here's what we know so far about our girl. 1.      Sadly, her story matches that of her mother.. Brooke’s mom and dad were high school sweethearts when her mom got pregnant in high school. She was hoping that Brooke would not follow in her footsteps, but no such luck. And last night, she was still confused about how Brooke got pregnant. 2.      Unlike most teen moms, Brooke is married. Her boyfriend Cody proposed when he found out she was pregnant. But they still live in Brooke's parents' house. 3. She had her honeymoon at a race track. Cody and Brooke might be married, but they don’t have any money. They couldn’t afford to move out of her parents’ house, let alone go on a real honeymoon. Both the teens are vaguely obsessed with race cars.  But since Brooke has to take a break from driving while pregnant, Cody goes behind the wheel for their honeymoon, hoping to win the prize money as a wedding gift. Instead, he blows a tire and the couple finds themselves out $85 more. 4.      Brooke found her baby name by combining her name with her husband's Brooke + Cody = Brody 5. She wanted to live in a barn. And still does. On 16 and Pregnant last night, Brooke and Cody went shopping for houses. At her mom’s suggestion, they looked at prefabricated barns that could be placed on her parents’ property. That sounds a little weird, but the house they looked at was kind of nice. And, it only cost $35,000. Now I kind of want one too.

Harlow Madden Stalked By X17 Photo Agency

Posted: 27 Oct 2010 10:14 AM PDT

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are fighting back at paparazzo photo agency X17 after the company known for candid photos of Lindsay Lohan passed-out in her car parked their vehicles outside 2-year-old Harlow Madden’s pre-school. While all photo agencies are pretty scummy, X17 works hard at being deplorable: stalking celebrity children, hunting down celebs to catch them at their worst moments, and in some cases, even resorting to libelous stories in order to get their “exclusives.”

Full disclosure: X17 once demanded a $3k repayment on a photo I put on the now defunct Jossip.com after finding it on a Google image search. This is not the standard practice for unauthorized pics (usually agencies will ask you to take down their exclusive content before they demand payment). I ended up being in debt for months. Though one thing you can say about Brandy Navarre’s company: they fight dirty for the photos they take, and they aren’t willing to give them up without making you pay. They sued and won a case against Perez Hilton for using their pics, which is one of those cases where you just don’t know who to root for.

But lets digress: Instead of going after X17 with a restraining order or alerting the police, the couple instead has taken it to the net. Joel writes:

"Dear @x17online please stop having your photographers wait at my kids school…”
“The car that was there today was @x17online. Two men in a black nissan Registered to a Lepe Isidro in Redmond, WA”
“I’ve learned a lot of self control & acceptance. Still never gonna be ok with grown men creeping outside schools…"

Meanwhile Nicole writes on her blog:

"You do not get to [buy] a camera, and think that gives you a free pass to shadow my child. These are strangers, grown men, stalking young children. You think that's ok?

"Here's a better visual: Pulling up to school and seeing grown men slouched in black windowed cars outside of a preschool, all day. I'm not even there, so you cannot say you are following me… You are stalking the children…

"…I am going to do a background check on each and every person that I see there. For the safety of my children and others…If I find out anyone has a suspended, restricted or invalid license, I will have them thrown in jail…"

While more drastic measures may seem necessary, Joel and Nicole are savvy-enough to know that winning cases against paparazzi that aren’t technically breaking any laws can be hard to do. Better to alert the world to their sleazy practices, and put an industry-wide fatwa against Brandy and her cronies. Information is the greatest weapon of all, right?

Four Loko: Delicious, Disgusting, Or Dangerous?

Posted: 27 Oct 2010 09:12 AM PDT

Hey parents, have you heard that your kids are drinking caffeinated alcoholic malt beverages again? This time its coming in the form of Four Loko, and sweeping campuses across the nation after being created by three Oho college students. It’s either delicious or disgusting, depending on which over-stimulated teen you ask, but it’s also very dangerous. Or at least, so says the attorney state general of Washington, after nine students were hospitalized after drinking the beverage. Though technically, it is not a date-rape drug, so that’s good.

This reminds us of the Sparks scare of the mid-aughts, when we all learned that drinking high volumes of alcohol and artificial stimulants lead to a lot of sleepless nights, bad decision-making, and sometimes overnight hospital stays when you needed to get your stomach pumped. And yet somehow, red bull and vodka is still available at most bars, despite being described by one friend as making him feel like he drenched his brain in battery acid.

According to a source (an anonymous b5 intern), Four Loko is stronger than Sparks, tastes kinda whatever, and “is not a big deal.” It comes in lemonade and berry-flavor, probably? (Oh, interns.) But it definitely fills the niche that was left when Sparks was pulled from the market and then brought back in neutered form.

So the question you have to ask yourself when purchasing Four Loko isn’t “Do I want the world’s worst hangover tomorrow morning?”, it’s “Do I really trust any drug that can fuck me up for $2.50 a can?” You’re probably better off huffing Dust-Off.

Annabelle DeSisto On The Situation's Bad Pickup Moves

Posted: 27 Oct 2010 08:46 AM PDT

The Jersey Shore’s Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino might be a runaway star from the show, but he seems less than gifted with the ladies. We've been convinced for awhile that he's a one-hit-wonder in bed, but so far, none of the women who've been in his bed on MTV's hit show have come out to confirm our suspicions.

Until today. Best Week Ever has an awesome interview with Annabelle Desisto, one of the girls who turned Mike down on Jersey Shore. You may remember the Florida native and former Miss Teen Florida runner-up her from such hits as:

"I never said anything about checkers, old man!"

She dished to BWE about what The Situation was like in person, and also gave a little behind the scenes information on how your Jersey Shore sausage gets made. (Ew. Sorry about that double entendre.) We compiled some highlights from Annabelle's Situation trash talking.

Apparently, Annabelle and her friend knew exactly what they were getting into. The producers gave them VIP passes to the club where the cast was that night, and introduced them to the guys. She told her friend:

"No, I would never hook up with any of them. But if we ever get invited back to the house, we're going. I don't care if you don't want to, we are going back to the house."

Also, for all of you Jersey Shore wannabes, head this hot tub dilemma:

He asked us if we wanted to go in their Jacuzzi at the club and I was like, "No, I'm not being in a Jacuzzi with you because I have a spray tan so I don't want to look like a half done cookie when I get out."

And some of The Sitch's best pick up moves:

Under the covers, he was just looking at me trying to do awkward small talk and I'm like "Oh, what do you do in your spare time?" He was like, "Can you just shut up and blow me?"

Is The Situation a Butherface?

“I mean, he is pretty ugly. He is 28 and he looks like Pauly Shore.”

Also, this might be our favorite. Ever wonder what the parents of people on the show think? Here's a sample. Annabelle's mom was confused by the term DTF:

"What does DTF mean? I saw him calling you DTF." I was like, "Umm, ahhh, dancing too fast! When you're dancing too fast up at the club, that's why we were invited back to the house." She was like, "Oh, because I didn't know what that meant." I was like, "Yeah, that's what it means."

For more, check out the full interview at Best Week Ever.

Off the Market: Experimenting With 'InStyle Ultimate Beauty Secrets'

Posted: 27 Oct 2010 10:07 AM PDT

When Crushable recieved a copy of the InStyle Ultimate Beauty Secret book, I knew that this would be the perfect opportunity to finally learn how to put on makeup. As someone who regulates herself to eyeshadow and lipstick only, I was excited to learn the art of putting on foundation, blush, and mascara like an adult. Following the tips in the book, I asked The Gloss‘ resident fashion expert Ashley Cardiff to accompany me to Sephora and guide me on my glamour process.

We honestly expected to get kicked out (especially when we brought out the plastic spoon). Instead, despite ending up looking like a whore-clown, a non-Sephora employee came over at one point and helpfully pointed out that “it looks good, you might just want to blend in the foundation a little better.”

See ladies? Dolling yourself up can get guys’ attention! Check out our photo gallery of the outting, along with some InStyle beauty tips.

  • Foundation
  • Blush
  • The perfect classic smoky eye
  • The Perfect Classic Red Lips

Despite a fashion editor and a beauty book at my disposal, my penchant for bright colors may make me a hopeless makeup case. Still, this book would be perfect for anyone who knows how to put on foundation and blush without looking like a clown whore, but still wants some extra tips.

Drew’s pro beauty secret: Invest in a lot of makeup remover.
