| Celebrity Lookalikes: Are Chelsea Handler And Jenna Jameson Secret Hate Twins? Posted: 27 Jan 2011 11:04 AM PST
The feud between the two started when Chelsea called Jenna “raunchy” to Katie Couric in Glamour, which seems pretty tame because, again, porn star. “Raunchy” is putting it mildly. You have become famous for having sex with strangers for money. Not judging, just saying. Anyway, we’re convinced the two of them are actually going after each other because they know that everyone in Hollywood is secretly confusing the two of them at parties, leading to some wacky and embarrassing cases of mistaken identity. But we can totally see why people have a hard time telling them apart! Post from: Crushable Celebrity Lookalikes: Are Chelsea Handler And Jenna Jameson Secret Hate Twins? |
| Calm Down Parents, USC's Raves Aren't Contagious Posted: 27 Jan 2011 10:54 AM PST
No, that’s not a quote from Portlandia or a College Humor sketch making fun of 90s culture, it’s part of a letter USC president C.L. Max Nikias sent out to students just yesterday. President Nikias’ letter continues: “Occasionally, these are held close to our campuses, often at the Coliseum or the Shrine, and they present serious risks to all who attend. Ecstasy, which is common at raves, produces a number of adverse reactions that may include disorientation, anxiety, paranoia, panic attacks and hallucinations.” So does this mean raves are back en vogue amongst the college set? (And just when we’d sold off all our glow sticks and pacifiers.) Nope: More likely, this is an issue specific to USC, located on the outskirts of downtown L.A., which has arguably become the epicenter of U.S. rave culture. Los Angeles is home to several annual electronic music festivals, two of which drew national attention this past year when they took tragic turns. Last November, a USC student fell six stories from his freshman dorm after returning from a two-day rave at the Shrine Auditorium where he consumed marijuana and ecstasy. And last summer, a fifteen-year-old girl named Sasha Rodriguez died from ecstasy complications after attending the Electric Daisy Carnival (the nation’s biggest rave) at the Coliseum/Exposition Park. The problem where USC (my own alma mater) is concerned is that the Shrine Auditorium and the Coliseum/Expo Park are practically on the USC campus — both spots are across the street USC-owned buildings. (The Coliseum is actually where SC football games are held.) For some students, walking to the Shrine or the Coliseum could literally take less time than walking to class. While USC is located in the middle of a major metropolitan city, the campus is actually pretty isolated and L.A.’s public transportation system is horrendous. If you don’t have a car, you’re pretty much limited to walking-distance events. And when those events happen to be two-day festivals drawing crowds in the hundreds of thousands instead of a TV-watching party with your anthropology class, chances are students will flock. Less than a month ago, the Coliseum held a 45,000-person NYE rave, which was declared a success because only (only) 17 people were hospitalized. The Coliseum Commission will meet next week to decide whether or not to bring back The Electric Daisy Carnival, which was attended by 185,000 people last year. EDC founder Pasquale Rotella released this statement in response to President Nikias’ letter:
The problem is that “enrichment of the human mind through the arts” is so much more awesome when you’re on ecstasy. Especially if you can stumble back to school in time for study group. Post from: Crushable Calm Down Parents, USC's Raves Aren't Contagious |

According to Disney Dreaming, the Biebs put it like this:
The difference between Bieber and you? If he took someone out today and did that, he’d still probably get a second date. Post from: Crushable Crushable Quotable: Justin Bieber Is Bad At First Dates Too |
| Will Ferrell Coming In To 'The Office' But Can The Show Survive Without Michael Scott? Posted: 27 Jan 2011 11:05 AM PST
One of the show’s writers, Danny Chun, tweeted this morning: The Office (as it stands) hinges on the conceit of a “dummy” boss, and the show’s producers have been desperately trying to woo big names for the position. Critics and viewers are already starting to tune out: Would anyone watch after Ferrell and Carell are both goners and it becomes the Jim & Pam show?

| The Economy Is Making College Kids Less Mentally Stable, More Ambitious Posted: 27 Jan 2011 09:00 AM PST
According to the survey of 400,000 kids entering college this year, only 52% self-identify as being “above average” in the mental health department. That’s a historic low. 12% also say they have a disability or “medical condition” and nearly 30% were “frequently overwhelmed” during their senior year of high school. Also, a record high of 73% went to college to increase their earning power, which is going to be a major letdown when they try entering the job force. Also, this survey is taken during freshmen orientation. Which means these kids haven’t even had the opportunity to have their optimism beaten out of them by upperclassmen yet. Meanwhile, these kids are more ambitious than recent college kids. From The New York Times:
Oh silly kids. Good luck with that theory! MBAs and PhDs are way more useless in the marketplace than college degrees. But don’t worry so much. Your parents will probably let you live at home for awhile after graduation while you figure out what you’re actually going to do with your life.

| In (Sort Of) Defense Of Taylor Momsen Posted: 27 Jan 2011 08:53 AM PST
And in a very Jenny Humphrey move, Taylor then decided that her other talents were more important than being on one of the biggest shows in the US, and left Gossip Girl to pursue her dream of becoming the next Courtney Love with her band The Pretty Reckless. And we all decided to simultaneously hate her, because she thought she was too good for Gossip Girl, and therefore too good for us. Who did this skinny bitch think she was, anyway? She dressed like a Tim Burton hobo and wore shoes with money in them. She acted like having daddy issues was a novel thing. We wanted to watch her fall flat on her face, like Jenny did that time she stole that girl’s dress and got caught. Taylor, you think that you are so crazy and messed up, but really you are just a selfish child. But you know what? I admire you, Taylor Momsen. You are ballsy, in the way that only children that haven’t yet had to deal with the crushing disappointments of life are ballsy. You say stupid shit all the time like it was a novel concept, because for you, it is novel. Teens tend to think that their edginess is original, but Taylor has one card up her sleeve; one instance of genuine shock-appeal. Post from: Crushable In (Sort Of) Defense Of Taylor Momsen |

It seems there are three steps to becoming a certified celebrity: having a tabloid scandal, landing a Proactiv commercial, and writing a book. The celebs in this gallery can all check that last one off their list and apply for official certification. Congratulations, Snooki, James Franco, Justin Bieber, et al.

Yesterday adult film actress Jenna Jameson took to Twitter, 
Good news for teenagers everywhere! Even pop stars with coveted haircuts are bad at dating. Justin Bieber, international cutie, has just informed the world that his first date was terrible. And it was all his fault.
Dunder Mifflin has a high turnover rate: As Steve Carell gears up to leave The Office 
As if you needed more proof that college kids are depressed these days, an annual study called "The American Freshman” has found that kids entering college this year are even more mentally unhealthy than usual. However, due to fears of the economy and stress that they’ll never be as successful as their parents, these kids are more ambitious. Great. Just what we need right now in the world – more 
It is really easy to hate on 17-year-old raccoon-eyed actress/model/brat Taylor Momsen. After starting out as the sweet, naive Jenny from Gossip Girl, we watched in horror as Taylor joined Jenny on her downward spiral of hipster teenhood. Has a person ever before come to embody their character so fully as Taylor Momsen did?
