| Crushable 25: Liam Hemsworth Is More Than Just Miley's Ex Posted: 19 Apr 2011 11:00 AM PDT
Liam Hemsworth‘s 27-year-old brother Chris is about to become mega-famous, thanks to a tiny movie you may have heard of: Thor. But Liam, whose other claim to fame is being Miley Cyrus‘ ex — the one who starred in Miley Cyrus vehicle The Last Song with the Achy Breaky Heart spawn — is soon going to be starring in not one but two of his own blockbusters. With upcoming roles in the 3D action adventure Arabian Nights, opposite Dwayne Johnson and Anthony Hopkins, as well as the role of Gale in the much-buzzed about flick Hunger Games, this 21-year-old Australian’s star is on the rise. And all that came to him after he split from Miley for the second time. Looks who’s partying in the U.S.A. now. Post from: Crushable Crushable 25: Liam Hemsworth Is More Than Just Miley's Ex |
| Crushable 25: Blake Griffin Is Your Favorite Athlete Posted: 19 Apr 2011 10:59 AM PDT
Looks like a lot of Crushable readers were watching this year’s slam dunk contest during the NBA’s All Star weekend. Because when we asked you to pick your favorite athletic crush to make it onto our 25 Crushable Guys Under 25 list, slam dunk contest winner Blake Griffin took the competition by a landslide. (For those of you who missed it, Blake leapt over a car to win the night.) This 22-year-old, 6′ 10″ Los Angeles Clippers power forward is considered a rookie this season, even though he was drafted in 2009, because he missed his first season after he injured his kneecap landing after a dunk. Looks like he recovered well, and lived to dunk again. And Blake continues to make up for lost time — he's been named Rookie of the Month in November, December and January and has been setting franchise and league scoring records. Not to mention his big win in the fan-favorite slam dunk contest. He has his whole career ahead of him — if he can avoid more dunk-induced injuries.

| A Peek Inside Drake's Inner Circle Posted: 19 Apr 2011 10:23 AM PDT
Aubrey ‘Drake’ Graham is multi-talented, make no mistake about it. He first got a taste of the spotlight as an actor, most notably playing the role of Jimmy on Canadian teen soap Degrassi. He’s starred in movies, like Charlie Bartlett, with the likes of Robert Downey, Jr. and Kat Dennings. And when he decided to pursue a career as a rapper, he joined forces with the Young Money powerhouse and its leader, Lil Wayne. Even before he released his first album, Thank Me Later, last year, Drake had worked with some big names in the music biz. His collaborator list is long — too long to even put here. He’s even been romantically linked to some of his collaborators, most recently Nicki Minaj and Rihanna, not to mention all the girls from his music videos, like Sophia Marie and Maliah Michel. And as his music and acting careers continue to flourish, expect Drake’s inner circle to grow. Recent rumors claimed he was in talks to star in financial thriller Arbitrage with Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon and bond girl Eva Green. We’ve tried to keep tabs on Drake since his meteoric rise to fame in the past year, but it’s been hard. To illustrate all the people who surround him, we just snagged this poster off our little sister’s wall (click above to enlarge). We think it will help you get a sense of what it’s like to be this very well connected 24-year-old Canadian rapper. And if that doesn’t help, just watch this video of Drake and that other huge Canadian superstar Justin Bieber joking around before Drake hosted the Juno Awards (it’s a Canadian thing) this year.

We’ve decoded this to mean that Kurt (Chris Colfer) gets the prettier crown, but he’ll share the stage with Karofsky (Max Adler). Rumor has it that the two, who shared a shocking kiss in the episode “Never Been Kissed” earlier this season, will have a major heart-to-heart in the upcoming “Born This Way” episode, which airs before prom. For one thing, this is so indicative of the show that they would cast Kurt as the girl. Not that I'm against two guys getting prom, but the show has a problem with making Kurt a guy when they want to—for example, when he refuses to sing "Sweet Transvestite" in the Rocky Horror episode—but a girl at other times—see one of his first appearances, doing the diva-off against Rachel (Lea Michele). We know that this is a bonafide spoiler because Glee producer Brad Falchuk called out Crowther on his Twitter:

| The Daily WTF: Cadbury Creme Egg Cupcake! Posted: 19 Apr 2011 09:36 AM PDT
Instead of a chocolate bunny, we want to wake up to a basket full of these on Easter morning. Melissa Smith of Zoey Cakes concocted the treat, which is baked with a Cadbury Egg in the center of cake batter, is frosted with vanilla buttercream, and features a mini creme egg on top. Who’s got an over we can borrow? (via) Post from: Crushable The Daily WTF: Cadbury Creme Egg Cupcake! |

“The Enchanted Donkey” sees the crew taking a mostly couples’ trip to Cabo:
People that Max has had sex with: Less than the square root of 64. (Naomi: “You’ve done it with 64 people?”) Meaning, 7. Adrianna’s bitchfaces: 4 (one even includes a smile!) Spanish phrases Annie rattles off: 4 Phobias of Liam’s that are revealed: 1 (“You know how I feel about animals in people clothes!”) Ways that Mexico can kill you: 3 (Unfiltered water, monkey bites, laced pot.) Tutoring/calculus comments that are thinly veiled invitations for sex: 3 People that Naomi and Max are fooling: I was gonna say 0, but nobody knows, so it’s actually 7 Bitch score: Adrianna 2, Silver 1 (Adrianna wins this round by switching out Silver’s meds with aspirin) People Teddy hooks up with: 1 Boyfriends his hook-up has: 1 (but it’s an open relationship, so there!)
Most unrealistic element of tonight’s episode: The fact that these kids can just hop a private jet to Cabo. Suddenly I wish I were in high school again… Next week: Taking placebos instead of her bipolar meds has Silver dyeing her hair, hopping rides on Vespas, and dancing around like… well, a crazy person. This will be interesting. Post from: Crushable '90210' By the Numbers: Donkey Punch |
| I Have A Crush On Taylor Lautner, And That Makes Me Feel Creepy Posted: 19 Apr 2011 10:17 AM PDT
Let’s just say I don’t have a typical 28-year-old woman’s taste in men. It’s not that I don’t see the attraction in the glittering, tan abs of a more age appropriate hottie, like Ryan Reynolds, let’s say. I just also get tingles at the thought of George Clooney or Alec Baldwin‘s raspy voice in my ear. Maybe I have daddy issues. So last year, as I sat in a movie theater of teen girls watching Twilight Saga: Eclipse, I hardly expected to get the wind knocked out of me when Taylor Lautner took his shirt off. But that’s exactly what happened — I audibly gasped. And then I started to feel icky. 19-year-old Taylor was only 17 when the movie was filmed, making him jailbait. And, even though he’s now over 18, he’s still 11 years my junior, and decades younger than guys I would actually consider dating. With him I would feel like a cougar, or Mrs. Robinson. But despite that feeling of ickiness, I must admit, I still find him wildly — I even have trouble writing this word about a teenager! — sexy. He is hot. There, I’ve come out and said it. Publicly. And, if I were to meet him at a bar (which he can’t legally go to yet) and he wanted to take me home with him, I wouldn’t hesitate to comply. Just tell me you wouldn’t do the same.

| Crushable 25: Tim Tebow For President Posted: 19 Apr 2011 09:22 AM PDT
Tim Tebow is the Sarah Palin of professional football. Except everyone likes him. He’s the quarterback for the Denver Broncos, arguably the most successful college football player of all time and an adorably baby faced evangelical Christian on top of all that. If Sarah Palin has taught us anything, it is that controversial views are far more palatable (at least temporarily) if they’re tied up in a pretty package. Also, if you’re willing to trade in your hotness, you can get away with a lot. In Tebow’s case, he went from starring in an anti-abortion ad at the Superbowl, to starring in underwear ads. And everyone loves him more and more each day. There’s even a bronze Tebow statue that was recently erected at his alma mater University of Florida. And now he is the face (and body) of Jockey underwear. What other Focus on the Family stars proudly appear topless on your TV screen? Better yet: what other pro-football player has circumcised orphans in the Philippines? Tebow’s got mad PR skills. So what if he was born int he Phillipinnes? Obama didn’t let his birth certificate stop him. And Tebow’s youth is just another hurdle to overcome in this election. In his Jockey ad, Tebow encourages us: “Man, you gotta feel this shirt.” Yes, I want to feel that shirt. Where is the Tim Tebow touching station set up? I’m asking for a friend. (I’m not a stalker, promise.) The only problem with that Jockey ad? He’s shirtless for less than 2 seconds. When’s he going to start selling briefs? Honestly, if Sarah Palin uses her Learning Channel show about Alaska as a qualification for her 2012 Presidential run, can we all agree to put in Tim Tebow’s name as a write in candidate instead? There’s no way his presidential bid would be any less ridiculous than, say, um, Donald Trump‘s? If you don’t believe me, take a look at this photo to fully understand the contradictory (yet complimentary) aspects of Tim Tebow’s persona:
What do we have here exactly? Oh, just Tim Tebow heismaning a baby. In Thailand. While wearing CROCS. Using babies like inanimate objects may not be the most popular of pastimes, but Tebow makes it look so good natured, so wholesome. So fun. And look how comfy his feet look. My mind wants to reject those Crocs. Those blue and red CROCS. That match his Polo shirt. But then I can’t help myself. I like the Crocs. If ever a man could get away with wearing Crocs (other than Mario Batali), it is this one. I want to hate the Crocs. I am predisposed to hate the Crocs. And yet. I love the Crocs. I love Tim Tebow. If nothing else, this man knows how to do a presidential baby hold. If anyone from the Republican party is going to give Obama a run for his money in 2012, it is this man.

| Crushable 25: Jake Hurwitz (And Amir Blumenfeld) From 'Jake And Amir' Posted: 19 Apr 2011 09:30 AM PDT
Crushable: So, how old are you? JAKE: 25 And what is it that you do for College Humor? JAKE: I’m a writer, an actor and an editor of the series Jake and Amir. And how did Jake and Amir get started? JAKE: It started because Amir and I got seated across from each other. And what about JakeAndAmir.com? JAKE: Amir emailed me and said we should buy the domain AmirAndJake.com. I told him I would only do it if it was JakeAndAmir.com. So okay let's talk about why we're here. How would you define the word “crushable”? JAKE: In terms of a guy or a girl? In a dude I feel like I’d want someone taller than me, they’d have to have broad shoulders, nice teeth. And in a girl – what’s crushable? JAKE: I feel like I can’t answer this without sounding cliche. What kind of stuff do you do with your free time? JAKE: Pull-ups, 10 sets of 20 diamond push-ups, 10 sets of 20 wide arm push-ups. I read health books, I cook egg white omelets, swim. But I’ve never had free time. Stupid hobbies take up my free time. Last summer I learned how to crochet. What was I doing? New direction, what you would say your spirit animal is? JAKE: Dog, because I’m loyal, friendly… I’m sorry did you say weaning? AMIR: Epic weaning. Wow, okay then. So, what's the 5-year plan for Jake Hurwitz? That’s fine you can leave. (Amir purses his lips and sits down in silence.) So Jake, do you consider yourself Crushable? JAKE: I think being Crushable is all about confidence. Sorry, that doesn't answer my question. AMIR: How’s this for confidence? TWENTY MINUTES LATER… Now that we're all settled down a little, let's get back to your being Crushable – do you think you are? JAKE: Um, I don’t know. Alright. So, what’s next for Jake Hurwitz? JAKE: Making lots more Jake And Amir videos. And, I’m trying to get pregnant. Any parting thoughts you'd like to leave with the readers of Crushable? AMIR: I think Jake And Amir is the funniest thing of all time. Better than South Park, better than The Tom Green Show, better than Two Guys A Girl And A Pizza Place. END OF INTERVIEW. Laura Turner Garrison sometimes writes commercials, sometimes writes jokes, but she always rights wrongs. Post from: Crushable Crushable 25: Jake Hurwitz (And Amir Blumenfeld) From 'Jake And Amir' |
Depending on how you look at it, Glee extra Nicole Crowther has either ruined a lot of people’s fun or enhanced other fans’ viewing experience. Crowther, who has used her extra gigs as a reliable source of intel for spoiler-hungry fans, tweeted yesterday who at McKinley High

90210 is back, which means that every Tuesday you get to read our breakdown of the previous night’s episode. And since the opening sequence is so obsessed with numbers, we decided there’s no better way to tally up the crazy moments from each ep. Well, and each week we highlight the most unrealistic element of the episode, because this is Beverly Hills — there’s plenty of drama.
