| Playboy TV Turns Porn Stereotypes Into Reality: Why 'Brooklyn Kind Of Love' Sucks Posted: 15 Dec 2010 10:36 AM PST
Question: Emphasizing something as “reality” programming just points out the inherent unreality of porn, right? Except in this case, the show takes the stereotype about women in pornography — that they just cannot get enough dick — and makes it the reality. Based on the trailer, Brooklyn appears to be a show about four oversexed women whose main ambition in life is to get laid as frequently as possible. But here’s the kicker, the reason why this show is even more detrimental than the standard porn fare: All of these sexually overzealous gals’ partners are fed up with the constant demand for fornication. The men (plus that one lesbian partner) are exhausted by their partners’ crazy need for sex. Here’s another reason why this show is horrible: Dramatized porn has embedded the notion that the ideal woman is one who wants to screw all the time. Not only does Brooklyn make that notion tangible, but it plays into the fantasized ideal even more. These women aren’t just generally oversexed creatures roaming about looking for the next cock, they specifically want their sexual healing to come from the person they’re in a relationship with. Meaning: They can’t get enough of your dick. Essentially, this show is just another way for dudes who can’t get laid to feel better about themselves. They can’t get the chicks in pornos (because they mostly don’t actually exist!), but who cares? Those chicks are terrible anyway! Ah, Playboy, we just can’t win, can we?

| Sex On The Wire: Elin Nordegren Learned Nothing From Tiger Woods Posted: 15 Dec 2010 10:22 AM PST
• Seasoned critics are shocked that the “hideous” Burlesque made it to The Golden Globes. Well why not? The Golden Globes are pretty hideous themselves. (Celebuzz) • In Denmark, professors are allowed to be filmed participating in student orgies and somehow keep their jobs. Man, if only the WikiLeaks guy had got caught there. (Nerve) • A gallery of sexy underwear that you can actually walk around in. (The Gloss) • Finally, a list of the biggest dicks of the year! (Betty Confidential) • Once bitten, twice…well you know the rest. Elin Nordegren is ready to remarry after finalizing her divorce from Tiger Woods. (PopEater) • Guys might suffer more than you think after breakups. We wish. (EmandLo) Post from: Crushable Sex On The Wire: Elin Nordegren Learned Nothing From Tiger Woods |
| Pink Purses, Jewish Noses, and Mercedes' Love Life: Glee's Double-Standard On Bullying Posted: 15 Dec 2010 09:32 AM PST
Creator Ryan Murphy would have you believe that his Emmy-award winning program is all about acceptance and tolerance, with story-lines increasingly focused on the young gay Kurt (Chris Colfer) and his decision to move schools after being harassed by a closeted member of the football team. So why does the show still have so many mean-spirited punchlines? In just the last season alone, characters have quipped such one liners as:
Sure, most of these quotes come from Sue Sylvester, whose character is known for her politically-incorrect barbs. But Sue isn’t even the tip of the iceberg: the teens are routinely cruel to each other, making fun of each other’s Jewishness (calling Rachel “Yentl” and talking about her big nose); their gayness (It’s not homophobic for a pink purse to fall out of Kurt’s mouth while Mercedes imagines him saying ‘Gay gay gay!’ apparently); or their weight issues (a whole episode revolves around the one black character on the show revolting when tater tots are banned from the school. She also believes a stalk of broccoli is a toilet brush). Post from: Crushable Pink Purses, Jewish Noses, and Mercedes' Love Life: Glee's Double-Standard On Bullying |
| Teen Mom 2: What You Need To Know About The New Cast Posted: 15 Dec 2010 08:44 AM PST We’ve got some news for all of you Teen Mom addicts out there. MTV has just announced the new cast. And it sounds like Chelsea, Leah, Jenelle and Kailyn will be your new teen moms. They may not all have been our first choices (Hello? No Markai?), but we’ve got the deets you need to catch up on their stories before Teen Mom 2 premieres in January. Enjoy!
Jenelle Evans: Jenelle is probably the most controversial member of the new cast. The 19-year-old Oak Island, N.C. native is most famous for smoking pot while pregnant. On 16 And Pregnant, it looked like she was nowhere near ready to give up her teenage years to become a parent. And that drama continues on Teen Mom this season, when her own mother tries to take custody away from her.
As if being a teen mom weren’t hard enough, Leah also got the surprise of twins. The cheerleader broke up with her boyfriend Corey Simms on 16 And Pregnant in an attempt to get back together with her ex, but on Teen Mom 2 it looks like they get back together and eventually marry. Unfortunately, it looks like one of the babies – Aliannah – has medical problems. It’s not clear from the previews, but it appears to be spinal issues.
Kailyn never knew her dad, and on 16 And Pregnant we found out that her mom is a bit of a deadbeat as well. Kailyn moved in with her boyfriend Jonathan’s parents when she got pregnant, and that arrangement didn’t work too well on 16 And Pregnant. Mostly because Jonathan wasn’t ready to be a dad. On Teen Mom 2, the couple has broken up. Which means that living in the same house is even more problematic. Chelsea Houska: Chelsea and her boyfriend Adam Lind had some pretty serious baby mama drama during 16 And Pregnant, but it looks like he’s back for the next round in Teen Mom. Bonus from the trailer: A clip of Chelsea yelling at Adam AND her dad while on the toilet. Classy. And as a parting thought, here’s Chelsea’s most memorable moment: when she explained to her dad that she has no interest in graduating from high school, and doesn’t need to achieve career success because she’s already achieved a baby. Ooft. What a role model. Post from: Crushable Teen Mom 2: What You Need To Know About The New Cast |

Why hasn’t she branded a line of pickleback vodka shots already? (Blackbook Magazine) Post from: Crushable |
| Art Crush: Nick Sumida's Colorful Pop Drawings Posted: 15 Dec 2010 08:41 AM PST
We fell in love with Nick Sumida’s art the first time we saw it. Nick’s an NYC-based cartoonist and illustrator who draws colorful sketches of pop culture icons, slimy sea creatures, and sometimes just his friends. We talked to Nick about his life and his work — and lucky us, he volunteered his spirit animal before we even had to ask. Tell us a little about yourself! What influences your work? Who’s harder to draw, Uma Thurman or David Bowie? What’s the most off-the-wall comic idea you’ve ever had? Post from: Crushable Art Crush: Nick Sumida's Colorful Pop Drawings |
| Video: The 'Take Me Home Tonight' Trailer Is Chock-Full Of Topher Grace Posted: 15 Dec 2010 08:20 AM PST What’s Take Me Home Tonight? It’s our very favorite Eddie Money song*, and it’s also a coming-of-age comedy starring and co-written by Topher Grace. And it looks really good! This is basically one of those “I just graduated and life is so hard to figure out” flicks, but the jokes and the acting look pretty solid. (Anna Faris, you guys!) Our one complaint about the trailer is that it has the “slow dolly-in on our protagonist standing still in the middle of the party” shot, which should be officially banned from cinema. Though at least Topher’s shirt doesn’t match the wallpaper. *What, you’d pegged us for a “Two Tickets To Paradise” blog?

| Hot Shot: True Blood's New Transfusion Dane DeHaan Posted: 15 Dec 2010 08:03 AM PST
As Nikki Finke snarked on her blog about Dane’s turn as a boy named Timbo, “Everybody’s a little bit queer and a little sexually aggressive on True Blood, so this role should not be a huge stretch.” We’re looking forward to it!

| Questionable Choices: Ke$ha's Giant Peacock Cloak Posted: 15 Dec 2010 07:57 AM PST
We know, it’s generally a moot point to bother commenting on anything Ke$ha wears, but this insane peacock feather thing she’s been sporting everywhere is a particular affront to aesthetic decency. It’s like something you’d find in your mean old great aunt’s closet — if your mean old great aunt happened to live in Narnia. And what about the peacocks? We image P3TA has something to say about those poor sacrificed birds! We hope a female peacock tries to mate with Ke$ha after this proud display of feathery bravado. What do you think if Miss K’s cloak. Let us know in the comments. Post from: Crushable Questionable Choices: Ke$ha's Giant Peacock Cloak |
Naked girls with unscripted dialogue? Playboy TV (formerly the Playboy Channel, aka that thing one kid in middle school’s dad subscribed to, instantly making him the most popular eighth grader around) has started producing reality TV. Their new series is called Brooklyn Kind of Love and it looks terrible. (Regarding the title: It seems to refer to the kind of love where one cast member has tattoos and another is a lesbian. Perhaps they’re also Yankees fans?)
• A great gallery of woman making their best blow-job faces. Hey, it’s better than duck-lips. (
Glee is the breakout Fox hit about a group of misfit underdogs who join forces and sing their little hearts out once a week. Every week in Mr. Schuester’s rehearsal space, cheerleaders join up with crippled kids, the high school quarterback makes out with the over-achieving nag, and the African-American diva shares a solo with the gay kid.
