Daily WTF: Bacon Flavored Toothpaste Posted: 22 Feb 2011 10:49 AM PST How do you know when your bacon obsession has gone too far? When you start brushing your teeth with the stuff. As if the idea of Ke$ha brushing her teeth with Jack Daniels was enough to make you concerned about oral hygeine, a company called Archie McPhee now sells bacon toothpaste. This toothpaste is apparently “the perfect way to keep your teeth and gums healthy while coating your mouth with the delicious flavor of smoky meat!” It also sounds like the perfect way to ensure no one ever makes out with you.

Full Rolling Stones Quote Doesn't Do Justin Bieber Any Favors Posted: 22 Feb 2011 10:35 AM PST Justin Bieber got into a bit of trouble last week when Rolling Stone outed him as a pro-lifer. And now the NY Daily News has reported that Rolling Stone left out part of Justin Bieber’s abortion quote. But The Biebs’ full statement doesn’t do him any favors. The teen idol came under fire last week for the controversial comments when he said that abortion “was like killing a baby” and stated that he did not support abortion, even in case of rape. Bieber’s people kept insisting that the quote was taken out of context, because the magazine didn’t include his entire quote. Today, Rolling Stone conceded that part of Bieber’s quote about abortion was omitted. The magazine posted Bieber’s entire quote on the Rolling Stone website this morning. Here’s the addendum:
Um… so that’s what the Bieber camp was fighting for? An extra line with a tenuous teenage phrasing: “I don’t know how that would be a reason.” First of all, that one extra sentence that was omitted definitely does not exonerate him. It doesn’t refute any of his earlier stances on abortion. The way I interpret that is “I don’t know how that would be a reason… but God has his reasons.” I can definitely understand why Bieber was upset that his entire quote wasn’t used, but I don’t see how that sentence makes the situation any better for him. A source close to Bieber also claimed that Bieber’s response to the question about his thoughts on abortion was phrased like a question; so instead of the quote being, “It’s (abortion) like killing a baby,” the source claims he actually asked, “Like killing a baby?” Rolling Stones denies this and says that the original article has the correct transcript for that question. Additionally, the fact that he reportedly asked if abortion meant killing a baby instead of definitively stating that abortion was killing a baby shows that he knows what abortion is and has a predetermined opinion on the subject. Just because he asked the question, instead of stating it, doesn’t mean that he doesn’t believe abortion is murder. That said, you really have to take what a 16-year-old says with a grain of salt. That doesn’t mean that’s his final opinion on the subject. Maybe through education, experiences with different types of people or exposure to politics, his opinion on abortion will change. Maybe it won’t. Although it is true that he has a huge influence on young people, it isn’t fair that everything he says or feels carries extra weight. He’s a teenage singer; he doesn’t claim to be a politician. For those who are pro-choice, the sad fact of the matter is, at least some people will probably change their stance on abortion based on what Bieber says. This was an uncharacteristic misstep from The Biebs, but he’s going to have to learn that celebrities have to watch what they say. And unfortunately, he can’t stay an unoffending adolescent forever.

Across The Pond: King Colin Rules Posted: 22 Feb 2011 10:35 AM PST This is undoubtedly Colin Firth's year. And we're only in February. He has been the talk of the town ever since the release of The King's Speech. And here in England, the film has been something of a rebirth for Colin. Up and down the country, the film received rapturous applause in theaters and his mushrooming popularity shows no sign of abating (apparently, even The Queen has seen the film). In the UK, expectations are high as his burgeoning fan-base and critics alike expect him to walk away with the Best Actor Oscar. The nation will heave a collective sigh should another contender usurp this award, whom many believe is rightly destined for the Firth household. Being the sole Brit flying the flag in the Best Actor category at this year's Academy Awards (with the potential of Her Royal Highness watching) can be daunting. Yet Colin remains characteristically cool. The stalwart British actor is considered by many to be one of the most hard working Brits in the industry. Hailing from an academic family (his parents are both university lecturers), Colin soon succumbed to the potent pull of public performance as he made his debut in Another Country in London's West End in 1984. It was his portrayal of Mr. Darcy in Andrew Davies's Emmy Award winning Pride and Prejudice that instantly propelled him to fame, where his wet shirt and breeches ensemble sent millions swooning in his now iconic role. Speaking of his appeal to older fans, he famously said:
This role was to be his lucky charm, which paved the way for his intertextual character of Mr Darcy in Bridget Jones' Diary and its sequel, The Edge Of Reason. He has a solid CV, having giving note-worthy performances in blockbusters such as The English Patient, Girl With A Pearl Earring, Love Actually, Nanny McPhee, Mamma Mia! and A Single Man to name a few. Turning 51 this year, he shows no signs of stopping. He'll no doubt be looking forward to the Oscar's exactly one week away. Up against the heavyweight Jeff Bridges and the dark horse Jesse Eisenberg, it really is a tough one to call. I hope a certain golden statuette doesn't encumber his dance at The Governor's Ball (the official post-ceremony celebration). Good luck King Colin… Post from: Crushable |
Video: Lady Gaga Touches Herself For Terry Richardson And Supreme Posted: 22 Feb 2011 10:02 AM PST Lady Gaga is the new face of Supreme, a New York-based clothing and skateboard line. They’ve decided to hire the indomitable Terry Richardson to do the first spread. And what does that mean? Immediate videos of Gaga touching herself and prancing around in a wet T-shirt. And just for good measure, holding the hand of a small child. Enjoy! And of course, for good measure, Terry included on his blog a picture of his face on Gaga’s body and vice versa. Thanks for this mental image Terry! Post from: Crushable Video: Lady Gaga Touches Herself For Terry Richardson And Supreme |

Lifetime's 'Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy': The Highlights Reel Posted: 22 Feb 2011 08:33 AM PST Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy premiered on Lifetime last night and it was, in a word, awesome. Starring Hayden Panettiere as Amanda Knox and Marcia Gay Harden as Amanda’s mother Edda Mellas, (because Lifetime must have a contract that stipulates that Marcia Gay Harden play the mother in every movie.) The movie is told from a pretty impartial point of view; Amanda Knox is never shown confessing to the murders, but her apathy reveals a darker side that the Italian police and media found so troubling. What is it about a good Lifetime movie that is so sweetly satisfying? Every time I curl up with a Lifetime flick, I feel like I’m giving myself a present. Check out the highlights reel below and do yourself a favor: see the movie. (Images via Lifetime) Post from: Crushable Lifetime's 'Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy': The Highlights Reel |
Sex on the Wire: Are You Looking For a Daddy Warbucks?

(Marie Claire) One blogger says the “it’s complicated” relationship status on Facebook is unnecessary, is an over-share of information, will prevent you from being able to get into a real relationship with another person, and will make you look like you love drama. What do you think of it? (College Candy) Benjamin Millipied is rumored to be an absent daddy-to-be, electing to work instead of sit home with fiance Natalie Portman. But does he really have to sit home if the baby’s not here yet? (YourTango) Demi Lovato and Wilmer Valderrama appear to be dating again.

Important Justin Bieber Hair Update: The Locks Have Been Comprimised (For Charity) Posted: 22 Feb 2011 10:37 AM PST Justin Bieber belongs to us, his devoted audience, and we did not say it was okay to go and get a new hairstyle. Justin decided to switch things up and get rid of his signature side-swoosh for a new video he filmed with Rascal Flatts. He’s auctioning off his fallen locks for charity — although we hope they go to a scientist who can make a million Bieber clones. The half-pint singer also reportedly bought an entire shop’s worth of flowers for rumored girlfriend Selena Gomez. That’s right,, he filled her entire house with flowers, it what has the be the most romantic and hard to clean up gesture ever to come from a 16-year-old.
