Poll: Are You The World's Most Typical Person?

Posted: 07 Mar 2011 10:55 AM PST

National Geographic has compiled a profile for “the world’s most typical person.” I only have a few of these qualities: being right-handed, making under $12,000 a year (unfortunately), and having a cell phone. See how you compare to the world’s most typical person, below.

The Daily Bieber: Miley Cyrus Plans Justin On 'SNL'

Posted: 07 Mar 2011 10:43 AM PST

Things got meta on Saturday Night Live this week when Miley Cyrus appeared as a guest on the satirical Miley Cyrus Show that
s been a recurring sketch all season. She played Justin Bieber while Vanessa Bayer played her. And the result is pretty cool!

“It’s a Mexican standoff if the Mexicans were tiny talented geniuses.”

Dylan And Cole Sprouse... Revealed!

Posted: 07 Mar 2011 10:21 AM PST

Hey guys, guess what? Dylan and Cole Sprouse are 18 The Suite Life of Zack and Cody stars, who are the world’s richest teen twins, came of age and got, like, legitimately cute! Their Suite Life Movie, a Disney Channel original, premieres later this month. Here’s what you need to know about the adorable and affable twins:

1. Their first big role was in Big Daddy — the two youngsters split the role of Adam Sandler’s adopted boychild — which means they totally made us cry in 1999.

2. The twins were born in Italy to a pair of parents teaching English in Tuscany. Dylan was named after Dylan Thomas while Cole took the moniker of Nat King Cole. Cute!

3. The boys are headed to NYU next fall (don’t worry, we’ll keep our cameras out). They’ve both been accepted into the Gallatin program, which allows for a flexible course load. Currently, Dylan has the goal of majoring in art and minoring in economics while Cole wants to go the film and drama route.

4. Dylan and Cole have a dog named Bubba who has his own blog (sigh, we’ll be out of a job soon). The pup travels around with the Sprouses and apparently even went to Disneyland.

5. The boys enjoy being twins. Here’s an adorable quote from Cole:

“I love to have a twin cause you always have someone to talk to when you are lonely. You kind of have someone to share your feelings with, without talking out loud.”

'Teen Mom' Kailyn Lowry Alleges Her Mom's Boyfriend Assaulted Her

Posted: 07 Mar 2011 09:55 AM PST

Though her son Isaac isn’t even two yet, Teen Mom 2’s Kailyn Lowry has already spent plenty of time in court. Last September she filed for sole custody, and she moved out of the house where she was living with ex-boyfriend Jo Rivera and his parents into a home with her mother. Now, Kailyn is alleging that her mother’s boyfriend, whose name is not mentioned, assaulted her. She went to court in January to file a Protection-From-Abuse order (PFA) but wasn’t able to, since the mother’s boyfriend didn’t fall under the category of people (blood relative, spouse, etc) who qualified to be under a PFA. She was urged to press criminal charges instead, but there has been no word on whether she did so.

Kailyn has always been a bit of a nomad. In her original 16 and Pregnant episode, she was living in hotels with her mom, who seemed to be unemployed. When she got pregnant, Kail moved in with Jo’s family and stayed there even after she and Jo broke up. As we’re seeing on this season of Teen Mom 2, Kail broke Janet and Eddie’s [Jo's parents] rule about not dating anyone while living under their roof, and that reportedly leads to her moving out.  Kailyn is now living in her own apartment, which she pays for with rent assistance. Presumably, her MTV money will kick in soon so she won’t need financial assistance.

'Teen Mom' Kailyn Lowry Alleges Her Mom's Boyfriend Assaulted Her

Video: It's A Bird, It's A Plane, Holy S#!t That's A House!

Posted: 07 Mar 2011 09:55 AM PST

Most of the time, kids are told that cartoons and comics aren’t real. Luckily, some adults still don’t heed that childhood warning. Two men, who are producers of How Hard Can It Be?, Ben Bowie and Ian White, were inspired by the animated movie Up. They were curious to see if, like in the movie, it would be possible to “fly” a house. They discovered that flying a regular house was nearly impossible, but it would be possible to fly a very lightweight house. The men set a world record for longest balloon cluster flight ever attempted. Check out the video below.

"Monster" Guys Are the New "Pretty Ugly Girls"

Posted: 07 Mar 2011 09:58 AM PST

This weekend I went to see Beastly in theaters because my boyfriend was covering it for his job and needed the moral support. Considering that the movie has been delayed for months, I’ve had a lot of time to consider the filmmakers’ questionable choice of using tattoos and scars to make Alex Pettyfer’s character “ugly.” As you can see from the photo, poor Kyle Kingston is cursed by a witch (Mary-Kate Olsen) to be utterly revolting to all eyes. He’ll be stuck in this form if, after a year, he has found no woman who can say, “I love you.” Except, he looks more like the hot biker guy your parents warned you against and who you totally want to go after. Vanessa Hudgens certainly doesn’t look repulsed here.

Penny Arcade sums up this movie the best:

Brooding and scarred… yeah, that’s really terrifying.

The idea of monsters who inspire tenderness isn’t new: Who can forget the most bittersweet part of the original Frankenstein book, where the monster befriends a family while hiding out in their cottage? But once they see him in broad daylight, they try to attack him until he’s forced to flee. His ugliness matters; it separates him from the society that will never accept him.

Kyle Kingston is in a league with Edward Cullen and other classic monsters who have gotten the teen hearthrob treatment: Their alleged ugliness makes them instantly more desirable. Consider how many times in Twilight that Edward tells Bella she shouldn’t be with him because he’s such a monster, and her immediate response is, “No, Edward, you’re beautiful!” It’s downright laughable. To add insult to injury, there’s even a Beastly bobblehead!

This new clique of desirable monsters brings to mind a stock female character from movies in the ’90s and ’00s: The Pretty Ugly Girl. She’s best known as Rachael Leigh Cook in She’s All That: The dowdy, untouchable loner who undergoes a miraculous transformation once she simply removes her glasses, shakes her hair out, and puts on formfitting clothes.

As this EW column from 2002 points out, the stereotype suggests that ugliness is a choice, that these uptight girls don’t want to be cool even though they have the power to join the popular crowd. Similarly, TV Tropes refers to these ladies as Beautiful All Along.

The frustrating knowledge that all average-looking, and therefore relatable, heroines are really knockouts in disguise translates to our current dilemma: That all of the alleged monsters look hotter than their “normal” human counterparts. Dastardly movie execs… Let’s bring back the guys who, instead of having some facial tattoos, have no face! Or melted skin! Or extra arms!

No? OK then, at least let us stop pretending that they’re anything less than the hotties we know them to be.

'Teen Mom' Makeovers: New Breasts, New Tattoos, New Teeth

Posted: 07 Mar 2011 09:20 AM PST

Although the MTV series 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom were designed to shine a light on what it’s like to be a teenage mother, the success of the shows has changed the game. Now, many of the Teen Moms have used their income from being on TV (as well as paid interviews and endorsements) to change their looks. Maci Bookout, Farrah Abraham, Amber Portwood, and the rest of the gang no longer look like the original girls we saw on 16 and Pregnant.

Lady Gaga sues over breast milk ice cream – Despite sashaying around in a meat suit, Gaga is not a fan of a London-based ice cream shop’s “Baby Gaga” flavor. Her lawyers are crying copyright infringement, and add that the ice cream is “nausea-inducing” to her Little Monsters. (Gothamist)
