It’s been 15 years since The Spice Girls debuted “Wannabe,” which makes us feel old, but the ladies themselves are all in their mid-30s, which makes us feel young! So what have the Spices been up to in the past decade-plus post-girl group? Between the five of them they boast reality TV shows, kids’ books, working DVDs, records and even a few offspring. What spiced-up lives they lead. (photos via Daily Mail, Getty, WENN) Post from: Crushable Gallery: The Spice Girls, Where Are They Now? |

(Funny π story: In high school, a kid I had never really talked to was telling our science class how you can appear smart by memorizing the first few numbers of π, then rattling off a bunch of phone numbers. As he demonstrated this trick, I heard his voice pick up the cadence of phone numbers… and then suddenly he said my home phone number, and continued on as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened.) Thanks to the Internet, Shaw’s holiday is celebrated every year, with food, crafts, tattoos, and more paying homage to this transcendental, irrational number. Here are 14 of our faves.

| Racism and Misogyny: What's Up On Cali Campuses? Posted: 14 Mar 2011 09:57 AM PDT
UCLA is a great, highly-ranked university, so how did Alexandra Wallace get in? This college girl has serious racism issues and she clearly has no problem ranting about it, taping it, and putting it on YouTube, which of course in itself shows how dumb she really is. Although the video has been taken down, this is the Internet, and that shit doesn't go away. Long straight blond hair, lots of eye makeup and with her boobs tightly pressed and pouring out of a pink top Wallace goes into rant about Asians taking over the library in UCLA. During her rant she mocks an unspecified Asian language: "Ohh, ching chong ling long ting tong." Lovely! How mature of you. Regardless of the fact that the whole video is highly offensive, more than anything, she seems to think shes privileged and with her all American looks, we can all guess how this is playing out all over the comment sections on the Internet. But this reminds us…just last week one of USC's fraternities sent out an email to their "brothers" that landed in the hands of someone who was not supposed to read it. The email is chock full of disgusting misogynist point ratings, on top of extremely crude body snarking. Women are not called women they are "targets." The email also states "Non-consent and rape are two different things. There is a fine line, so make sure not to cross it." Non-consent is ok? Now we are talking scary. Below is the ranking system (which is not even the worst part.) 10- The likes of Marissa [sic] Miller and Megan Fox. No one will ever get this. 9- If any of you are lucky to get so close to perfection, feel blessed. If you fuck this up, you should be lynched. This is your ceiling. 8- See #7 7-Wife Status. Be careful not to fuck this up. 6-Date Status. Be careful when you cheat, but still cheat 5-Apply the 5×5 rule. Toot it 5 times, and then boot it. Move onto the next piece of pie. 4-One night stands, but they are fairly attractive. Should not be repeats. 3-The filth cut-off. These are not attractive women, but sadly many of you have fucked these. 2-Still filth. Still Pathetic. 1-Anything this close to 0 is bad. You better be 3 four lokos deep to justify this abomination 0-Let me just say from experience, when calculating your lifetime pie accumulation, throwing a 0 in the mix really hurts the average.

[Note: the following review is full of spoilers. But that probably doesn't matter, since I was evidently the only person in America over the age of seven who hadn't seen this film. And off we go.] Here’s the problem with watching classic movies after you’ve seen modern movies and TV shows that reference them: the original starts to look like a knockoff. That happened to me several times during The Godfather: I knew the horse’s head moment was coming because Jedidiah Springfield episode of The Simpsons. (Granted, it was a lot bloodier than I thought it would be, but the surprise factor was nonexistent.) Also, I knew exactly how Apollonia would meet her end because of the Antonia/Dylan storyline on Beverly Hills, 90210. I spent most of the movie trying to figure out which younger versions of famous actors were in the movie. Holy shit, who knew James Caan was so hot back in the day? I guess this explains why Scott Caan is hot, huh? And if I hadn’t already heard that Diane Keaton played Michael’s wife, it would have taken me the entire film to figure out who she was. The word “guinea” was thrown around as an anti-Italian epithet several times at the beginning of the movie. Until two weeks ago, when that very word was bleeped out of an episode of Jersey Shore – where it was being used casually by Italian-Americans – I didn’t even know what the word “guinea” meant. I have to admit that seeing Jenni, Snooki, and Vinny throw it around as a T-shirt descriptor weakened its use in the movie for me. Its use in The Godfather was intended to show the prejudice that the Italian-American community experienced, and its effect was diminished for me. The character I found myself caring about the most? Connie, the sister whose wedding sets up the film but whose name isn’t even mentioned until halfway through. Sonny gets killed on the way to rescue her from her abusive husband, but what happens after that? She’s an afterthought, and the only purposes she serves are to further along her brothers’ and father’s storylines. The wayward mafia princess is the one I care about the most, but, in a movie that’s all about power and virility she’s relegated to a peripheral role in her own life. Even when she (understandably) flips out on Michael at the end of the movie, she’s treated like a crazy relation who needs to be locked up in the attic for her own good. Her son’s christening and husband’s death aren’t there to serve her story – they’re there to serve Michael’s, and to illustrate Michael’s descent from “civilian” to don. Maybe she gets some love in the second movie? I’ll have to watch that one too. But don’t worry – Lorelai Gilmore has already scared me off of watching the third one.

| 'Real Housewives of Orange County' Season 6 Episode 2 Recap Posted: 14 Mar 2011 09:39 AM PDT Real Housewives of Orange County’s second episode premiered last night. In this lesson, we learned many things: lesbian flirting is fine if one of you is straight, flirting with a hot guy while married is fine if he’s an “old friend,” friendship is always a competition, especially if there are kids involved, and that the man is the provider and the woman is the nurturer. Check out my picks of the best scenes from last night. Post from: Crushable 'Real Housewives of Orange County' Season 6 Episode 2 Recap |

I love pop culture, but my favorite medium is definitely TV. If there were an entire 24/7 Simpsons rerun channel, I might never leave my apartment. But there’s a dark side to my obsessive television watching: it means I have missed out on a whole lot of movies, including some of the most famous flicks in history. Each week, I’ll be watching a different classic film that has previously escaped me and writing a review here on Crushable. First up? The Godfather. Apparently it was a spinoff of The Sopranos or something?
