Drunkorexia Gets a Humerous Treatment – It’s hard to think that anyone could make the condition of getting so drunk you vomit up all your calories and black out funny, but Open Film’s “The Miracle Beer Diet” managed to do so while being educational. Great job! (College Being)

Video: Worst Newscast Of All Time

Posted: 02 Nov 2010 11:05 AM PDT

We’re laughing out loud so hard right now we’re beginning to get stares from the people around us. There’s nothing better than a good news goof video, and this one really takes the cake. This live broadcast from a local San Diego station is an absolute disaster. Everything goes wrong! It’s so ridiculous we almost suspect this is actually a pre-planned sketch.

Video: Will Ferrell Sincerely Sings 'Imagine'

Posted: 02 Nov 2010 10:12 AM PDT

We’ll admit, we’re a little bit lost on the tone here. Will Ferrell was on the Jimmy Kimmel Show singing John Lennon’s “Imagine” last night with Phillipino boxer Manny Pacquiao, and the comedian does the performance totally straight? Even though the audience is laughing in this way that you can tell they’re not even sure why this is happening, or if they should take it seriously or as some sort of Andy Kaufman-esque prank? Meanwhile, the weird star-shaped wipeouts and cut-aways aren’t helping matters.

Paulina Poreskova Hates 'America's Next Top Model.'

Posted: 02 Nov 2010 09:51 AM PDT

Our friends at The Gloss have a chat with supermodel Paulina Poreskova up today. Our favorite? When they ask Paulina why her stint on America’s Next Top Model isn’t on her resume and Paulina basically outs Tyra Banks as a sham:

“Top Model has nothing to do with modeling. It's a reality show that is not reality. Top Model is about finding people who will be good on TV, not people who will be good top models. Why do you think none of them are successful?

I've Never Seen 'The Goonies'

Posted: 02 Nov 2010 09:46 AM PDT

Last week was the 25th anniversary of Back to the Future, which was commemorated all over America by having the movie come out on Blu-Ray. I was very excited: Back to the Future formed most of my pre-adolescent ideas about time travel, the 50s, and making out with your mother. Today, The Goonies celebrates its own 25th anniversary Blu-Ray release, which means that a) The Goonies came out the same year as Back to the Future and b) I have made it 25 years without seeing probably the most influential adventure film of my generation. Waa-waah!

But there’s a silver lining: Because I haven’t seen The Goonies but am plugged in enough to pop culture to know certain facts about the film, I can do a passable recreation of what I think this film is about. Okay, here goes:

The Goonies are about a bunch of monster goons that live in some sort of cave on the edge of suburbia. They are headed up by Martha Plimpton and Chunk, a monster that loves Baby Ruth candy. They have gold coins of some sort, and Josh Brolin is very evil in it, but maybe turns into a good guy later because he is cute.

Also, there is a seperate group, who may or may not also be called The Goonies, that are made up adolscent kids, mostly from the cast of Stand By Me but also Short Round from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. One of the Coreys is not in the film, but maybe they find him hidden with the gold coins in the cave somewhere. There is a romantic love interest, and something called the Truffle Shuffle. It’s kind of like Willy Wonka, but with more monsters. Eventually, Josh Brolin or Corey Feldman make out with someone, since they are the cutest boys in the movie.

The End.

So how did I do?

Crushable's Cat Lady: Online Dating 101. Lie Whenever Possible.

Dear Cat Lady:

I hope you like my e-card with its super-cute picture of a kitten in a cast! So cute!!! I mean, too bad the kitten had to suffer, but it's so so cute!!! So here's my question: what should I write about in my profile for an online dating site? I feel like guys might be turned off if I revealed all of my real interests, like in cats and knitting and kittens and badgers and cuddling. Should I pretend to be all interested in sports or politics or something?
Thank you!

Cat Lady in Training

Dear Cat Lady in Training:

Online dating is a precious, precious opportunity to fool someone into thinking that you are a fascinating, attractive woman through altered photographs and text plagiarized from the diaries of Anaïs Nin (or Sarah Palin – depends what type of man you're looking for). If you play your cards right – say, by arranging a meeting in a bar, bribing the bartender to feed your date "free" shots, and then show up an hour late – you can have an almost instantaneous boyfriend – for a least a few hours.

So as for revealing your "real" interests – NO! Bad Cat Lady in Training! Just think about it – what if kittens told us about their real interests when we were considering taking them home? "Hi, pretty lady! I love to catch ticks and vomit in your underwear drawer!" No, no, no. The kittens just purr and look at us with their big eyes, as if their only desire in life was to be your own personal adorable-making machine.

Take a lesson from kittens when composing your online profile. Give the impression that a relationship with you will be like living with a magical nymph who produces beer from one breast and nacho cheese dip from the other. Then, after a few shots, you can reveal your "real" self by knitting him into a commitment so fast that he won't know what hit him, even when he finds you vomiting in his underwear drawers.

Love and kittens!

The Cat Lady.

  • An ear-shaped magnet.
  • Another wall tentacle.
