Obama Finds A Way To Get Pennsylvania Excited About Green Energy ;College Students

Posted: 03 Feb 2011 10:56 AM PST

About an hour ago, the POTUS stood in the rec hall at Pennsylvania State. Barack Obama spoke for a half an hour about the energy crisis to over 3,000 students at the school, some of whom have been camping out for tickets to the event since Tuesday night. One might wonder why Obama is focusing his time talking to college kids in the middle of nowhere about the Green Energy Initiative when there are things like Egypt going on right now. Not to mention this is the second visit Obama has made to the state since his State of the Union last week.

The answer is simple: Pennsylvania has the largest coal industry in the nation. The state hasn’t been particularly receptive to the idea of new energy sources, which would mean thousands out of work. Not to mention that Pennsylvania is one of the biggest media attractors during election year. Obama needs to win these guys over, and fast.

That’s where Penn State comes in. College kids are traditionally more progressive, more open to the idea of “clean fuel”, and come from out of state (meaning their families won’t be affected by the mining job loss). When the President comes out to their college, it’s a huge deal. They blow up Twitter with excitement, and quickly embrace his Better Building Initiative, which seeks to make commercial buildings more energy efficient by 2020. The president praised Penn’s labs as he toured facilities that are currently working on green building structures.

It has yet to be determined whether the president’s visit will have a bigger impact on the students as Lil Wayne will when he performs at the college on March 30th.

Cedric From 'Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills' Has A New Sugar Momma

Posted: 03 Feb 2011 10:37 AM PST

Cedric Martinez moves quick! The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills houseguest was recently kicked out of Lisa Vanderpump’s mansion. But he’s apparently got a new sugar momma. He was spotted this week traipsing around Beverly Hills with Eddie Cibrian’s former wife Brandi Glanville.

C-list tabloid celebrities have to stick together!

Cedric and Lisa are on the outs since he departed her palatial estate. Which means he either needs a new source of income or a place to crash. Quick. Enter Brandi.

Apparently, the pair are “old friends.” And Brandi is going to Cedric watch her two kids –whom she had with former hubby and current LeAnn Rhimes fiance Eddy Cibrian. (Whew.  What a tangled tabloid web.)

So to reiterate. Cedric and Brandi are not dating. But he might be her manny. According to E!:

“The boys love him. He’s going to be my manny for two days a week. He’s a great guy.”

Meanwhile, check out this video of Cedric claiming that he only appeared on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills because Bravo asked him to move back in with Lisa and Ken Todd to make their segments better. Meow:

Has The Mystery Of 'Mona Lisa' Been Solved? 5 Contemporary Figures Who Could Have Been Leonardo's Model

Posted: 03 Feb 2011 10:27 AM PST

The latest theory about the world’s most mysterious painting is that the famously enigma-lipped Mona Lisa was actually modeled after a man! Leonardo da Vinci’s apprentice/lover Salai, to be exact. Paging Dan Brown! The claim looks to be supported by other Salai visages that appear in Leonardo’s paintings, but we have a different theory. And it’s that Leonardo travelled to the future, hopped off his time machine in 2011, and modeled Mona Lisa after a contemporary celebrity. Take a look at our gallery to see what we mean.

Video: 'The Daily Show' Defines 'Rape'

Posted: 03 Feb 2011 09:58 AM PST

There’s been a GOP movement in the House of Representatives to stop the federal funding for extreme circumstance abortions. You know, like rape and incest. But what is “rape” exactly? We all know that forcible rape is bad, but what about when a women is passed out and raped (yes that is rape). What if it’s statutory rape, where it could be two consenting people, one of whom is underage in the eyes of the state (or her parents)? Do those count as well? The Daily Show’s Kristen Schaal takes a look.

You know, the one part where we agree with this bill is statutory rape, because it’s not defined by a lack of consent. Although you’d think conservatives would be more worried about stopping all those 16 and Pregnant shows by making sure statutory is definitely defined as rape. Then how will they prosecute the 19-year-old deadbeat who knocked up their daughters?!

Sweet Repeat: Lindsay Lohan Wears Other People's Stuff

Posted: 03 Feb 2011 08:13 AM PST


Lindsay Lohan: Big fan of wearing things that don’t belong to her. The latest drama involves a pesky $2500 necklace that went missing from a Los Angeles boutique and then showed up in photos days later. The necklace is hardly the first or the most expensive thing Linds has been accused of stealing. Remeber that mink coat or those insanely expensive photo shoot jewels? Not to mention all the dudes she’s stolen! Hey Lindsay, maybe wash those sticky hands.

  • Wearing the gold necklace.
  • At an Elle cover shoot Linds helped herself to a bunch of Louis Vuitton clothing.
  • Wearing that $11,000 mink coat.
  • In Sam Ronson's sweatshirt. But this one might not really be her fault.
  • Remember when Lindsay stole Aaron Carter from Hilary Duff? Don't bring that up in front of her parole officer.
  • At this Elle shoot, Lindsay alledgedly took $400k worth of jewelry. Yikes.
  • Lindsay was accused of stealing a Rolex from her friend.
  • In Sam's signature hat.

Fan Fiction: A Date With Natalie Portman From 'Black Swan'

Posted: 03 Feb 2011 08:19 AM PST

Scene: Nina (Natalie Portman) and Lily (Mila Kunis) go to a bar. Lily drops something in Nina’s drink. Two guys show up and introduce themselves. Lily starts talking to one, as Nina and Andrew meet:

Hi Nina, I’m Andrew. Nice to meet you. Your freaky, underminery friend here has told me a lot about you. Are you guys sisters?
…..
Weird, because you two look nothing at all alike, and I’m pretty sure I just saw your “sister” slip something into your drink. Not judging! It’s just that…you ever notice how girls these days say they’re “sisters” when they are obviously not related, in this like desperate bid for attention? Like two girls making out in a bar isn’t hot enough, you have to pretend like you’re also incestuous? It seems a little sad. Feminism, shmeninism, right?
…..
Oh hey, jeez. I didn’t mean anything by it. Stop scratching yourself. Do you need a Benadryl or something?
…..
It’s fine. Your arm is just…oozing a little. You’re totally beautiful, though. A little anemic, definitely anorexic, and I’m guessing a couple of deep-seated mental issues…but hey, nobody’s perfect. So, Nina,you’re a ballet dancer? In Swan Lake? That’s great! What’s the story?
….
“A girl who turns into a swan and needs true love to break the spell? And then she kills herself out of love when her prince falls for the wrong princess?” Um…are you sure that’s how Swan Lake ends? I mean, I’m not an expert on ballet or anything, but I’m pretty sure most interpretations involve either the prince and Odette dying together, or both becoming swans forever. I mean, the closest variation to what you’re talking about would be the Swan Lake adaptation that Rudolf Nureyev choreographed for the Paris Opera House in 1986, in which the white swan dies after her love Seigfried is killed in a storm, and then is taken up to heaven by the evil von Rothbart. But that production wasn’t very well-received, because of its obvious Soviet implications.
….
No, no, I’m sure your choreographer knows what he’s doing, too. Are you all right? You seem kind of…freaking out. Here, have some water.
….
No, water doesn’t have any calories in it.
….
Yes, I’m sure. Do you want to go dance with me?
….
Why not? What’s wrong with your legs?
….
Jesus Christ! No, you’re right, lets just sit here for a bit until your limbs all face the right way again. And your toenails grow back. Jesus, were you just participating in some underground ballet Fight Club or something?

Right, no, it sounds all very…intense. A lot of pressure. By the way, are you seeing a therapist at all? No reason, just asking.

Oh you confide in your choreographer? That’s…healthy. Yes, I’ve heard Monsieur Brennan is supposed to be a very hands-on instructor. Do you get a lot of one-on-one tutelage?

I’m sorry…did you just say your teacher tells you to masturbate as a homework assignment?
….
And he touches you like that during practice? My god. Is anyone else in the room? How does this man still have a job? Look, Nina, no offense, I’m sure you are a really great dancer who totally deserves the role, but this guy sounds like he’s really taking advantage of his position in the company to sexually molest and terrorize young women who are already in a fragile state of mind.
….
No, of course I’m not talking about you. You seem totally sane. Please stop clawing at your back though, I think it’s starting to freak out the other patrons.
….
Oh, you are just growing your wings? Sorry, I didn’t realize. Is that before or after you transformed into the human embodiment of the black swan, who also happens to be that lesbian friend of yours?

Sure. No, that makes sense. Though you do know that in most productions, the black swan and white swan are played by two different girls to begin with, which would make this psychotic competition sort of moot.
….
No, that doesn’t matter. Also, any chance you want to make out with me right now?….
….
You know, why don’t I just move these steak knives towards my side of the table.

Look Nina. I’m not going to lie. I find you super hot. I just want to say that even though you’re kind of high-strung and seem –uh, no, there aren’t any feathers coming out of your skin just stop picking at it — a little emotionally unbalanced, I’d really love if I could take you out again sometime. Truth be told, I’m kind of a sucker for crazy chicks and as long as you — please for the love of god stop trying to pull that hangnail back anymore you’re going to take off half the skin of your hand — I could totally see something happening between us. Also, I hear that your white swan is like, perfect.
.
Nina?
.
Nina? What’s going on with your eyes there? Did you just burst a blood vessel? Do you want me to go get your lesbian rapist friend? No, none of the pictures are laughing at you Nina, calm down. That’s right, give me a smile.
….
Whoa, actually, that’s kind of creepy. And can you tone down that laugh? It is actually really freaking me out.
…!!
Well hey now, where did you get that rusty hair pin? Frankly, I’m almost impressed that with the 24/7 overbearing adult supervision, you still manage to leave the house with sharp objects in your possession. Though this is merely a personal observation, and no reason at all to start stabbing me in the face.
….
Look. I think I need to go. It’s not you, it’s me. I’m bleeding all over. Because you cut me, that’s why, you crazy bitch. No, you’re not bleeding, Nina. I am… You’re fine. You’re perfect.

Posted: 03 Feb 2011 06:40 AM PST

Was it a shocking announcement or a ratings ploy? The Austin round of Idol auditions opened with with a warning for new judge Steven Tyler to clean up his act, as if anyone could be surprised that Steven Tyler, –you know, a rock star — might say the occasional outrageous thing. In fact, we’d be disappointed if he didn’t.

Am I Right Ladies? Yoplait! French For Lose Five Pounds

Posted: 03 Feb 2011 08:04 AM PST


Every week, intrepid reporter Gail K. takes on advertising aimed straight at the heart (and you know where else) of women.

Yoplait? Yo-PLEASE, am I right ladies? As in "Yo, please pass me another Black Forest Cake Yoplait Light and make it on the double!" As in, two. Double the amount of Yoplait Light you are currently handing me, thereby making it two yogurts total. Ladies, if you're anything like ladies, you LOVE yogurt. And if you're anything like me, you love eating multiple baked goods in one day, heck one sitting! But you hate dieting (boooo). Thank heavens for companies like Yoplait (pronounced yo-playyy), that give you all the satisfaction of a Triple Berry Torte in a 6 oz, 100 calorie container of fermented milk!  Yummers! And now, you can even lose weight on the 'plait with their two week tune-up plan! There is a god(dess) after all and her name is yogurt.

The Reunion

Sometimes I think what I really need is a two-week EMOTIONAL tune-up, am I right ladies? Oh I'm just yoplaiting with you girls. My landlady would say that unhealthy relationships with food usually come from a deeper place, to which I would say she hasn't tried the two-week tune-up from Yoplait Light!  I'm on my third try, and I just know this fortnight is going to be the one where I drop a pant size instead of gain one.

Here's the thing, apparently a "fruit and a grain" does not mean a fruit roll-up and half a dozen oatmeal cookies.  Advertising sure can be misleading!  Anyway, it's beyond me how anyone can have just one. I need to eat at least six cups of Lemon Cream Pie Yo before it starts to feel like I've eaten a mere slice of LCP.  And I usually have three!

And Sean Miller, Class of 1996, if skinny "Bets" doesn't want you, I "bets" I know a Gail who does! (me.)
