Did Bravo Lie? Rumors Circulate About 'The Real Housewives of Toronto'

Posted: 31 Mar 2011 11:03 AM PDT

Although Bravo exec and Watch What Happens Live host Andy Cohen recently said that the network wouldn’t be adding any new cities to The Real Housewives franchise, that may not have been truthful. The Hollywood Reporter says that Canadian production company Lark has partnered with Bravo to produce a Canadian edition of the show in Toronto. According to Lark, they are in the preliminary casting stage and the show has not yet been greenlit by Bravo. So if you’re a Great White North edition of Kim Zolciak or Kyle Richards, now’s your chance!

Those chicks in DC and Miami have got to feel burned by this announcement, as it’s basically a big sign telling them that the network isn’t interested in them anymore.

There’s nothing like being reminded of your own mortality every single time you sit down for a meal. Maybe this skull-themed dishware will just make for healthier eating, though? Scarf down those Brussels sprouts and you won’t end up like Mr. Skeletor.

Tonight, Grey’s Anatomy is going to do a musical episode. As we’ve said before, a lot of the vocal heavy lifting will be done by Sara Ramirez (Callie), which is good news, because she’s a fantastic singer who did Broadway musicals before joining the cast of the hit medical drama. Here are a couple of our favorite Sara clips to get you in the mood for tonight:

The 6 Most Absurd Safe-Sex Ad Campaigns

Posted: 31 Mar 2011 11:22 AM PDT

A lot of safe-sex arguments are based on the idea of bad judgment, the assumption that teens doing it out of wedlock will bring on emotional turmoil and unplanned pregnancies, or that more experienced adults will get every disease in the book. But these print and video ads, despite their intent to promote protection of all kinds, are themselves examples of really bad judgment. They’re also hilarious. (Some are NSFW, so proceed with caution.)

The Daily Bieber: Justin To Star In A Buddy Comedy With Ashton Kutcher?

Posted: 31 Mar 2011 09:31 AM PDT


What Would Kenny Do? is the name of a new flick from Ashton Kutcher‘s Katalyst Productions. It tells the story of a thirtysomething dude — to be played by Ashton himself — who travels back in time to help out his 17-year-old self. The LA Times is reporting that Justin Bieber has his eye on the second role, which makes sense because JB’s expressed an interest in doing more acting.

Justin Bieber as a young Ashton Kutcher? This actually makes perfect sense to us. Make it happen, people of Hollywood!

College Life: How to Tackle Annoying Questions About Your Post-Grad Future

Posted: 31 Mar 2011 08:41 AM PDT

My ears are ringing with questions. Just call it the institutional inquisition.

Graduation is six weeks away. I don’t usually broadcast the inner workings of my every move to the whole wide world, but questions are flying at me from all angles about where I’m going and what I’m doing come graduation, and so on.

So what do I do? Well, whenever acquaintances approach looking inquisitive, I simply block out whatever they say, wait until they cock their head awaiting my response, put my hand in their face and say, “Talk to the hand!”

Just kidding. I don’t do that.

Normally, I patiently listen and answer kindly and briefly. As much as I wish I could place pacifiers in those most irritating inquistors’ mouths and enjoy myself in unquestioning silence, those people aren’t going anywhere. So let’s talk about how to deal with them nicely and efficiently.

In the soon-to-be grad hustle, I find the most dominating questions are “What” and “Where.” These questions of the professional or geographical variety are the basic ones everyone from your Aunt Mildred to your smelly professor to your close friends might ask. “What are you doing next year?” and “Where are you going to live?” are more or less the basis on which such questions are built. As annoyingly formulaic as these questions are, it means you can engineer formulaic no-brainer answers that will get the job done:

Keep your answers brief: Whether you have an awesome job that you could talk about for hours, or you think you might want to trek through the Andes and then roadtrip through South America but you don’t know how you’ll be able to rent a car, or you got into a grad program where you’re going to study the connection between Native American rituals and the Great American novel, no one wants to listen to you go on and on for hours. A simple, “I’m still looking, the industries I’m interested in have a different hiring schedule” or “I’m thinking about taking some time off and spending a few months abroad,” or “I’m going to work at Company X in Urban Area Y,” or “I’m getting a masters at University Z” should do it.

Don’t get overly irritated: Even if your inquisitor has a rad job at Google (the person confidently asking you what you’re doing probably has a cool job, right?) that you couldn’t even get an interview for, don’t waste your time blowing steam. It’ll only make you more upset and anxious.

For god’s sake, don’t make up a fake, ridiculous story: Don’t tell me you’re becoming a drag queen in Milwaukee, or an arms dealer to African revolutionaries, unless you actually are. For a million and a half reasons, this is the most annoying, overdone, awkward thing ever. It’s not funny. And if you lie, it’s really easy for people to find out in the age of Google.

Ask back: I know, you don’t care about the “what about you?” but it’s sort of rude not to ask. Suck it up, and use it as a nice segue out of the conversation.

Sweet Repeat: Bruno Mars Wears A Fedora

Posted: 31 Mar 2011 08:53 AM PDT


If we’re crowning a King of Fedoras, the prize definitely goes to Bruno Mars. And the crown is a fedora! Dude’s got hats in brown, grey and black, and he brings ‘em out every chance he gets. One question though: how does he get them to fit over his pompadour?

  • In a grey fedora to go with his grey blazer. What are the rules when it comes to fedora matching?
  • What's going on here?
  • Fedoraing in concert. Does he need a permit for that?
  • Bruno, a fedora is not a baseball cap! Nice form, though. We anticipate a strike.
  • Trying to peek out from beneath that fedora.
  • This photo was taken in Germany. So that should explain it.
  • Breaking out the brown hat. We feel like he should be offering us cigars.
  • Bruno with a fan! (Of fedoras.)
  • Don't let your hat catch on fire!

Rachel Zoe Tweets First Photo of Baby Skyler Morrison

Posted: 31 Mar 2011 08:26 AM PDT

Yesterday, celebrity stylist/reality star/new mom Rachel Zoe posted this photo of her, husband Roger Berman, and their baby boy Skyler Morrison Berman on Twitter. She wrote, The 2 loves of my life…@rbermanus and Skyler Morrison. My life is complete. xoRZ

As Jezebel pointed out, it’s surprising that Zoe didn’t sell the first photos of Skyler to People, Us Weekly, or a similar publication. I don’t mean that as a personal jibe; simply that it’s become commonplace for years, but especially since Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt showed off baby Shiloh in People in 2006. Could tweeting baby’s first photos — which is in some ways more personal, but is also broadcast to more people than those magazines, possibly — become the pattern for the next crop of celebrity moms?
