Crushable Presents: A Guide To Social Media Week

Posted: 08 Feb 2011 11:08 AM PST

Hello everybody. Did you know that we are currently, at this very moment, experiencing the momentous annual festivus that is Social Media Week? What makes social media more important this week than any other, you say? Nothing! That’s the best part. It’s just that everybody in New York decided to pick this week to get together at parties and panels where they don’t have to feel bad about texting their digital friends right in front of the live people that they’re interacting with!

Oh, that it could be Social Media Week every week of the year. But wait: It can be! You don’t have to be in New York to celebrate Social Media Week. In fact, with a few simple tools, you can convince your peers that you are a social media savant anywhere and on any day of the year.

DudeYouShouldDate.Com: One Man's Quest To Ask Out Famous Ladies

Posted: 08 Feb 2011 10:21 AM PST

Think about how much chutzpah it must take most guys to ask a lady out. Sweaty palms; worrying about “Will she or won’t she?”; those dead hookers you have in your crawl space. Now, imagine trying to ask out a celebrity on a date and compound those nerves by one billion. After all, why would Regina Spektor or Natalie Portman go out with you, when they could have their pick of almost any guy in the world?

Well, at least one dude out there has a game plan: Every day, write a blog post directed at a celebrity he has a crush on, listing the reasons they should give him a shot. DudeYouShoudDate might be taking the long-term approach to finally scoring the girl of his dreams, but at least he’s persistent. And open to taking on more than one girl at a time!

Sometimes Dude will focus on one person for a couple days at a time, adding items to his “dateability” list.

Reasons #5 And #6 Why You Should Go On A Date With Me, Regina Spektor
Reason #5: I’m really good with kids. I worked at a summer camp for 7 years and only hit a kid in the balls once.
Reason #6: I think anything can be made better if you line it with flannel.

The next day he will seemingly give up the ghost, writing a long missive to Up In The Air actress Anna Kendrick about how they should date because they are both from Portland, Maine.

While we give props to this dude’s style, and definitely hope it yields fruitful results (actresses are often Googling themselves, so who knows!), we can’t help but feel like this site might be better used to address just one celebrity. No one likes a player, after all, and think about how embarrassing it would be if both Mila Kunis and Gabriele Anderson both agreed to a date on the same night!

Gallery: A Look Back At Olivia Wilde And Tao Ruspoli's Marriage

Posted: 08 Feb 2011 10:08 AM PST


Olivia Wilde’s life is like a fairy tale that went bust but then still ended up being kind of a fairy tale. Eight years ago, an 18-year-old Olivia eloped with Tao Ruspoli, guitar player, filmmaker, and son of an Italian prince. The two lived together in Venice, California until recently, when they initiated a trial separation while attempting to work through some marital problems. Today, the two officially announced their split — cue the teary-eyed Disney princess! Take a look at some snapshots of Tao and Olivia’s life together.

  • Baby-faced and newly wed in 2003.
  • In Williamsburg, BK in 2006.
  • A kissy-face portrait
  • At an event in 2007
  • In CA.
  • Caught strolling in 2009
  • A portrait by Tao
  • Snapped in their Venice neighborhood
  • So Venice it hurts. (Seriously, pain.)
  • Not looking super pleased, eh?
  • Myspace pic?
  • March, 2010
  • A still from a late 2010 ad the two starred in together

Thank you, Japan, for making the Nikken Gakki, a toy that allows you to produce musical sounds by holding down on a little doodad with your buddy, and then poking them in the face a lot. Do “Freebird!”

How long until this becomes some weird fetish thing for old businessmen? Oops, too late.

Gallery: The 10 Most Disturbing Justin Bieber Cakes

Posted: 08 Feb 2011 09:37 AM PST

Editor Liana just asked if cakes designed to look like Justin Bieber was really a “thing.” Young Jedi has much to learn. Any food product can be designed in the Biebs’ image. We just chose cakes because Bieber pumpkins were obviously made by an adult who might come after us if we desecrate their homage to the tiny super star.

Time to eat!

  • The Bieber Cube
  • Great color scheme!
  • Do you feel like Bieber's soul is trapped in this cake?
  • Cassidy will be pleased to cut off a giant chunk of her idol's face
  • Again, with the awesome color scheme...
  • Can there ever be too much care going into a Bieber cake?
  • How is this a birthday cake?
  • Justin Bieber: Lord of the cupcakes!
  • Justin Bieber is trapped in this cake
  • That is literally Justin Bieber's head on this cake.

Life Lessons From 'Skins': Don't Take The Pills The Crazy Chick Gives You!

Posted: 08 Feb 2011 09:24 AM PST

Last night’s episode of Skins was the wackiest yet, sending us on a tour through the mixed-up world of Cadie, the show’s resident over-medicated crazy chick. Here’s a partial list of Cadie’s ailments: Obsessive-compulsive disorder, pathological lying, mood disorders, maybe some signs of schizophrenia. Plus, she’s morbidly afraid of pigeons — not that we can blame her.

Cadie also has a pair of rich parents who don’t much care about her, a whole cabal of doctors, and a group of friends who use her for her access to drugs. Stanley, Cadie’s geeky crush invites the our favorite curly-haired nutcase to a party and asks her to bring a bunch of pills — specifically some blue ones that “intensify emotions.” (Er, legal ecstasy?)

So the kids pop the pills and their emotions get Super Intense. Stanley can’t handle his Michelle obsession, Tony becomes way jealous that lesbian Tea is still a lesbian, and Tea suddenly has a moral crisis and tells Cadie that Stan only invited her to get those drugs. (Meta-intense-emotions!) Then Cadie freaks out and she takes a bunch of pills! Not just the blue ones either, but the yellow ones and the purple ones too.

The episode ends there, but we imagine nothing good came from all this drug use. At the very least, the kids probably had horrific hangovers and some very regretable Livejournal entries to contend with.
