Crushable Quotable: Jesse Eisenberg Compares Oscars To A Bar Mitsvah

Posted: 11 Feb 2011 11:25 AM PST

Jesse Eisenberg interviews are turning out to be our favorite part of the lead up to the Oscars. Earlier this week, we found out about his Ween obsession. And now he’s proved that he can even be adorable when being considered for the most important acting award that exists. At the Oscars luncheon this week, Jesse explained that he finds the whole Oscars thing awkward:

“I feel like when I was 13 and I had to go to bar mitzvahs every weekend. This is the same feeling. You have to put on a suit every weekend to go meet with a bunch of Jews.”

Sex On The Wire: The Joys Of Spanking

Posted: 11 Feb 2011 11:21 AM PST

• What does a spanking party look like? Surprisingly non-sexual. Maybe now I can finally convince my mom to let me go to one. (Salon)

• Good news ladies: Are boobs are growing (as a nation). (Nerve)

• Clap-on bras would not work well if you are often applauded at work. (The Frisky)

• If you’ve tested positive for syphilis, there is an 18 percent chance you don’t actually have it. We’re totally sure you are part of that 18 percent, too. (Jezebel)

• A study with mice has shown a slight correlation between sex and violence. Luckily, we broke up with that mouse 8 months ago. (Motherboard)

• A Colby professor resigned after he was caught taking pictures of girls in the bathroom with his flip-cam. Sorry dude, that’s the kind of hi-jinks we reserve for the underclassmen! (Kennebec Journal)

JWOWW’s making it a habit to wear these see-through outfits now. Can’t be any worse than those leather chaps from last night’s episode of Jersey Shore. (Huffington Post)

Ke$ha Needs An OBGYN For Her Glitter Problem

Posted: 11 Feb 2011 10:41 AM PST

Ke$ha is proof to the testament that if you put enough sparkles on something, people will buy it. We’re not even saying to be mean: the singer basically admitted the same thing during her recent Vanity Fair interview. Of course, when we think of glitter we don’t usually think of it shooting out of our vaginas, but that’s why we are not superfamous.

What's your glitter budget for a typical year? It's got to be in the thousands, right?

Honestly, it's pretty exorbitant. It's probably more like a few thousand every month. If you come and see a show of mine, there is no shortage of glitter. By the end, everyone from the back of the auditorium to the very front is covered and potentially choking on glitter. I am shooting glitter from glitter guns and out of every orifice in my body. It's really a big part of what I do. It's my goal to cover the planet in glitter and take the fuck over. I can't do that if I don't have a shit-ton of glitter.

Wait, did I hear you correctly? You've got glitter coming out of every orifice?

That's right. I've found glitter in places that will not be named in this interview.

You might want to mention that to a doctor. Would you describe it as a glittery discharge?

No, it shoots out. And it's coming from everywhere on my body. Let's just leave it at that.

Of course, this exchange happened right after she says she wants to hang out most with that muppet who “lives in the garbage.” Snooki?

Nicholas Hoult originated the role of Tony on the British Skins, and now he’s about to invade America as the lead of Bryan Singer’s next film, Jack the Giant Killer. The 21-year-old will play a farmer charged with rescuing an abducted princess against bad-guy Stanley Tucci. Tony in period dress – hooray!

What Is With The Greek Imagery In 'Spiderman: Turn Off The Dark?'

Posted: 11 Feb 2011 09:41 AM PST

We are so jealous of Alexandra Peers from The Observer, who got to see the catastrophic juggernaut that is Julie Taymor’s production of Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark. Why do we want to see it so bad? Because we like a little schadenfreude with our theatrical experiences, okay? Sue us.

But being among the first reviewers, Peers had some notes for Taymor, and a lot of it involved what to cut in the production to make it suck less, which gave us a glimpse at some of the weirder elements of the Spidey musical. Like the Goddess Athena, a “geek chorus,” and some references to the Ides (of March, presumably?)

Cut everything between the opening scene at the Brooklyn Bridge and the bit when Peter Parker’s crushing on Mary Jane in the radioactivity lab. Yes, all of it. That means the awkward high school rumble, the slow walk around Queens, the Goddess Athena (!), the first Norman Osborn rant, Mary Jane’s abusive dad…

Cut the comic-book writers. This laptop-toting Geek Chorus that narrates much of the action stop the proceedings cold whenever they show up.

As Editor Meghan pointed out, Spider-Man is already sort of a Greek tragedy in the traditional sense, so that may be what Taymor is extrapolating for her production. But with so many other elements to juggle with turning a comic book mythos into the most expensive stage production ever, you’d think that adding another conceptual layer to Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark would be like adding more twigs to this shit pyre.

Plus a “geek chorus” reminds us of all those “updated” versions of Shakespeare they’d try to get us interested in during high school drama class. “What if we put on Othello…but it’s in the future?!” “What if we set Oedipus in the Wild West?” No, shut up. Oedipus only works with vegetables.
