| Life Lessons From ‘Skins’: Don’t Have Sex In A Tree House, You’ll Hit Your Head Posted: 15 Mar 2011 09:41 AM PDT
A better life lesson from Skins is maybe "don't commit statutory rape," but that's a little prosaic, isn't it? Last night's ep began in a tree house, where teacher Tina is getting down and dirty with her 17-year-old student, Chris. Tina's on top and she hits her head on a cabinet – ouch! Then she starts crying, not because her head hurts, but because it's her birthday and she's here, in a tree house, committing statutory rape. Tina's day rapidly turns to shit — and we can probably assume the head-hitting incident is to blame, not that fact that Tina's an emotionally abusive criminal who doesn't have her shit together at all. Tina gets reprimanded by her principal for being a terrible teacher, she gets fired by her students as president of the yearbook club (is that a real thing?), and then she forgets to write the test she was supposed to be giving, so she runs out and pulls the fire alarm. And that's just the stuff that happens before 3 P.M. On her drive home, Tina encounters her devastatingly attractive across-the-hall neighbor who's out walking in the rain because his car broke down. She convinces him to take her out for dinner for her birthday, a dinner of burgers eaten inside her car. Dude kisses her and Tina immediately tries to do it with him — there in the car, in the parking lot of a fast food joint, when they are neighbors who live across the hall from one another and both, ostensibly, own beds. He is understandably not into the idea, so he leaves. It's a good thing, too! Because Chris has snuck into Tina's apartment and organized a surprised birthday party full of teenagers on ecstasy. Surpiiiiiiiiiiii-oh-wow-your-sweater-is-so-soo0O0oooft-can-I-fuuuuck-it? The party ends in tears, broken IKEA furniture and urine on the wall. Which sounds pretty bad, until you get to the next sequence wherein one of Tina’s fellow teachers walks in on her while she’s copulating with her teenage boy toy. Oy. Next up… cops! In a most unsubtle display, several officers come and arrest Tina while she’s teaching a class. She has been accused of statutory rape, which is good, because she COMMITTED STATUTORY RAPE. Which is like not an okay thing to do, probably. Yet? We still blame her misfortunes on the tree house incident. So if you’re looking to stay out of prison, don’t follow teenage boys into their tree forts, where they will seduce you with their charm, wit and Four Loko. Or at least wear a helmet.

| Stop Being Surprised When 'Bachelor' Couples Don't Work Out Posted: 15 Mar 2011 10:00 AM PDT
Brad’s storyline this season was about redemption, and how after pulling an “I Choose Me” on his first Bachelor go-round he had done a lot of soul searching and was ready to settle down. Emily’s own story was interesting as well, as she was a single mom raising her young daughter, whose father had been killed in a plane crash. Most of the women on The Bachelor are blank slates onto whom the Bachelor can project his own hopes and dreams (and, usually, ambitions toward fame). The fact that Emily is compelling in her own right made me think that this season would be more interesting than usual. However, it’s clear that something went down between the time the show ended filming and After the Final Rose was taped – Brad and Emily confessed that they’d already broken up once and despite still being engaged Emily wasn’t wearing a ring. She cited Brad’s “temper” and her own issues about moving on after her fiance’s death as reasons why they were having problems. The Bachelor has never been a place for admitting that relationships are complicated and involve work, and host Chris Harrison was having no part of Brad and Emily’s impromptu therapy session. Instead, he brought out the three remaining successful Bachelor couples – Ryan and Trista Sutter, Jason and Molly Mesnick, and Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez (who were on the most recent season of The Bachelorette and are engaged). While it’s impressive that three couples have gotten together because of the show and that two of them have gotten married (I still have my doubts about Ali and Roberto), that is hardly an advertisement for The Bachelor/ette as a way to find true love. There have been 15 seasons of The Bachelor (but only 14 Bachelors, since Brad was on twice), and one marriage. And that marriage – which involved Jason Mesnick dumping final-rose-recipient Melissa Rycroft on live television so he could hook up with runnerup Molly Malaney – wasn’t exactly the show’s finest moment. Although The Bachelorette has only had six seasons, its track record is better, with season one’s Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter married and with kids. Honestly, the odds of breaking up with someone from this show are much, much higher than the odds of actually finding a life partner. The Bachelor’s insistence on bringing out its successful marquee couples every time there’s a recap show is insulting the viewer’s intelligence, assuming that because one or two couples managed to make it work against the odds that every season will end in a big white televised wedding. One reason I’ve always kind of liked Brad – despite his annoying therapy speak on camera – is that he was one of the only contestants in the history of this show who has admitted that relationships aren’t always easy. When he didn’t choose either of the finalists in his original season, he wasn’t doing it to make good TV – he was doing it because he knew he wasn’t in love with either of them and it would be wrong to propose to someone you had no intention of marrying. The lexicon of The Bachelor is comprised mostly of “amazing”s and “soul mate”s and “feeling a connection”s, and “working through issues” or “realized we weren’t right for each other” doesn’t fit in there. It’s easy to be in love when you’re going on midnight boat rides and watching the sun set together; it’s another thing to be in love when you both have to get up early to go to work the next day and can’t agree whose TiVo queue gets precedence. I give Brad and Emily credit for their candor on last night’s show, and wish them the best – whether it’s with each other or not.

| Textual Healing: How To Write A Breezy Note To Your Ex Posted: 15 Mar 2011 09:30 AM PDT
Text messaging (and other forms of digital communications) is often the fastest way to communicate with friends and acquaintances, but it's not always the best one. Especially when it comes to texting with guys. Here at Crushable we aim to help you sift through all the subtext and emerge relatively unscathed – with a little help from our friend Amanda Ernst. No matter how it ended, who broke up with whom or whether or not you’ve already moved on, there comes a time when you have the urge to reach out to your ex. Some people burn bridges, and once a person is out of their life he or she might as well be dead. I must admit I’m not that way. I have attempted to reach out to every serious boyfriend I’ve ever had, and I’m still good friends with a couple. And whether you want to just say hello, or test the waters to see if he’s still single, the key to communication with an ex is the casual, breezy message. Just ask Monica on that one episode of Friends. If you want to come across as “breezy,” you should first have a good reason to reach out in the first place. If you admit that you were “just thinking about you,” well, then you can seem a little desperate and lonely — even if that’s not the case at all. It’s better to give some context, like revealing you saw something that made you think of a date you guys went on or an inside joke between the two of you. Try to stay friendly but not sappy, and avoid references to sex on first contact. If that is your ultimate intention, you’ll get there, but pace yourself. (This is especially true for guys reaching out to girls. Don’t booty text me out of the blue after we broke up six months ago.) Maybe you want to share some big news — like you got the promotion you were working for so badly when you two were still together. Or perhaps you ran into each other at a party but stayed one opposite sides of the room. Birthdays and holidays are also a good way to break the ice, and an excuse to send a friendly message. (On that note, avoid anniversaries and Valentine’s Day, unless you’re going the “dumping you was the biggest mistake of my life and I’ll do anything to get you back” route.) Next, choose the right medium by which to convey your message. You want to give off an air of thoughtfulness, even if you only spent a few minutes writing to them. Emails are great for this purpose. You can write them, save them, and go back to them, and even if you write it quickly your ex might still think that’s what you did. Phone calls show real determination, even if you only get to leave a voicemail. Heck, if you’re a real romantic at heart, pen a letter and send it via snail mail. Whatever you do — don’t send a drunk text at 4 a.m. Don’t leave a message on their Facebook wall (unless it’s their birthday — but then don’t expect a personalized response). Don’t Facebook message, tweet or IM. You can sometimes get away with texts, if they are artfully composed and sent during respectable hours. My last rule: think it through. If it’s 4 a.m. and you’re drunk and you’re feeling nostalgic and lonely and sad, write down what you would say to your ex. Save it or put it away. When you wake up, take a moment to reread your note. Put yourself in your ex’s shoes and think about how he or she will react. Do they want to hear from you? What might they be doing at the moment their receive your message? How soon will they respond? Will you be upset if he/she doesn’t respond at all? Throughout my dating career, I have been on the receiving end and the giving end of notes to and from exes. And while I’m proud of some exchanges, I am equally embarrassed that I went through others. But I learned something from them all. Several years ago, I wrote an email to an ex that I later learned was so breezy (his word not mine) it made it impossible for him to respond appropriately. It really required no response at all, which was the effect I was going for. My ex later told me he wrote several drafts in response, deleting each one because they were too emotional, too long winded. About a month later he called me, and we’ve been friends again pretty much ever since. Do you think I made the right move by reaching out to my ex? Have you ever sent or received a breezy message to or from an ex — or worse yet, one that wasn’t so breezy? Leave your experiences in the comments below and you might see your story featured in an upcoming installment of Textual Healing.

KIM KARDASHIAN vs. KRUSTY THE CLOWN
Kim wins by one point, but no matter how slim the margin a win is a win. We bow down to you, Ms. Kardashian – you are the shilliest of the shillers, the queen of questionable morals. Enjoy the honor…and the money. Post from: Crushable Endorsement Wars: Kim Kardashian Vs Krusty the Clown | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

This is an image of Perez Hilton looking inside a tin can that holds tiny Kardashians with mermaid tails. It’s part of an iPhone app that evidently contains a whole bunch of photographs of celebrities dressed as first-act Ariels. Not quite as interactive as Angry Birds, but we suppose you can poke and prod them on your screen all you want.

| Vanessa Hudgens Has Another Nude Photo Scandal, This Time with a Friend Posted: 15 Mar 2011 08:34 AM PDT
Rumor has it that Hudgen’s partner in crime is 18-year-old Alexa Nikolas, who played Jamie Lynn Spears‘ sweet friend Nicole in the first two seasons of the Nickelodeon show Zoey 101. She’s also appearing in the movie LOL with Miley Cyrus, who is no stranger to controversy caught on camera.
You can check out the more graphic photos — of Nikolas in her bra and Hudgens nude, with more making out — at the link above. It would be interesting if it turned out that these girls were actually romantically involved, but considering the age and the intensive photo documentation, they were probably doing it to get someone’s attention. And of course, the question on everyone’s minds: What does Hudgens’ ex-boyfriend Zac Efron think? Since neither he nor Hudgens are on Twitter, there’s no official statement yet.

After watching episode three of Bethenny Ever After, I think Bethenny seemed to be arguably more relaxed and happy. She seemed to be very uptight and a little hostile in the first episode, when she was dealing with Jason’s family, and stressed out and worrisome in the last episode, as she struggled to balance career, marriage, and motherhood. In this episode, she seemed to be more in her element, working and cracking wise-jokes. But, enough with my analysis. Check out what the Real Housewives of New York City had to say.
On last night’s finale of The Bachelor, Brad Womack chose Emily Maynard over Chantal O’Brien. In the After the Final Rose special that traditionally airs, well, after the final rose, the engaged couple comes out and blathers about their love for the ages. Normally, couples from the show break up a few months after the finale, probably because they have contracts saying their relationship needs to last a specified amount of time. However, Brad and Emily admitted-without-admitting that their relationship is basically over.
Those of you who watch The Simpsons know that Krusty the Clown is the ultimate sellout, endorsing everything from handguns to brain tonic to children’s vitamins. In fact in the episode "The Last Temptation of Krust" he comes to the realization that his real talent isn't comedy, it's selling out. In real life, it’s Kim Kardashian who comes closest to this level of product shilling, with a tendency toward the ludicrous. 
Former Disney starlet Vanessa Hudgens seems to be taking on more mature roles with the upcoming Sucker Punch (out March 25), but it looks like the 22-year-old actress is back to acting out off-camera as well. You’ll remember that in 2007 and 2009, batches of nude photos featuring Baby V (underage when she took them) circulated on the Internet. Well, now
