Pippa and James Middleton Offered Millions for Porn Cameos

Posted: 09 May 2011 10:54 AM PDT

Consider James Middleton‘s leaked nude photos his audition, because Vivid Entertainment co-chair Steven Hirsch has approached James, offering $1 million for him to appear in just one scene of an upcoming porn movie. Pippa Middleton got an even more jaw-dropping offer: $5 million for a single scene! Hirsch sent her a letter saying that he thought her “beauty and attitude” would take her far in the adult industry. (The photos of her dancing in her bra and a skirt probably helped, too.)

Hirsch’s letter says that Pippa would have her pick of partners for an “explicit” — as if there are any others — scene, and that James can be in the same production, albeit in a separate scene. (Whew!) Hirsch doesn’t explain what prompted the correspondence, other than to say that he thought Pippa was the real star of the Royal Wedding on April 29.

Vivid is likely just trying to cash in on the big event, as all viewers seemed to be charmed by the lovely Pippa despite the fact that it was her sister Kate who was getting married. There might also be some thrill to the chase due to the fact that Pippa and James would never say yes, thanks to stereotypical English restraint and the watchful eye of the Royal Family.

The Daily WTF: Hey, Who's That Painting Of?

This incredible photo was taken on the San Francisco BART, and it shows a mustachioed modern-day Dorian Grey. A million dollars for this guy if he posts a photo of him looking at this post on his computer — same face, of course.

The MTV Movie Awards give out prizes for the best movie kisses and fight scenes, but one important category has been tragically underrepresented: great movie sandwiches. Fortunately, this YouTube video is here to highlight some of the all-time greats.

Snap This: This Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots Car Is Cooler Than Your Car Will Ever Be

Posted: 09 May 2011 09:30 AM PDT

On my way into the office this morning, I spotted this little beauty hanging out on a street corner near my apartment. I don’t know what it’s for. I don’t know why it was there. All I know is that this car is cooler than any car I have ever seen before in my ENTIRE. LIFE. And I really, REALLY wish I could drive it. Because who WOULDN’T want to drive a car topped by giant Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots?

Conspiracy Theory: The Italy Season Will Be the End of 'Jersey Shore'

Posted: 09 May 2011 09:04 AM PDT

After three closely-packed-together seasons of Jersey Shore, the show is starting to wear a little bit thin. Most of the last season centered around Sammi Giancola and Ronnie Ortiz-Magro‘s horrible codependent relationship instead of around the house jokes and clubbing scenes that made the show a hit in the first place. Now, Jersey Shore is going on the road and filming a season in Italy. It was an interesting concept, but I think it’s going to fail spectacularly.

The evidence:

  • There are now three spinoffs in the works: one about Pauly D, one with JWoww and Snooki, and a recently-announced show for The Situation. Even if they pull double duty and all stay on Jersey Shore in addition to filming their spinoffs, everyone’s going to be stretched pretty thin. It’s possible that MTV will try to reboot the show by letting original members go and bringing in new people, but Deena Cortese was so-so at best and Angelina Pivarnick has worn out her welcome. And there’s no way that the Sam/Ron relationship could sustain an entire show without the other cast members’ antics to balance them out.
  • The Italy season sounds like a trainwreck in waiting. They’re filming in Florence, but the mayor of the town wants nothing to do with the show and has put a ton of restrictions on the cast and crew. No public boozing? Sounds like the cast is going to be majorly hampered in their partying abilities. Even Alessandra Mussolini (yeah, the granddaughter of that Mussolini) has spoken out against Jersey Shore, saying she doesn’t want them to come to Italy. The Uffizi – Florence’s legendary art museum that houses works like Botticelli’s “Birth of Venus” – and several other popular tourist sites in Florence have banned the cast.
  • There have been several delays, which doesn’t bode well. Usually when a reality show gets delayed, it’s because they’re struggling to get enough good footage. Remember when this year’s Real Housewives of New York premiere got pushed back a couple of weeks? Reportedly, Bravo had to go back and shoot more scenes because the existing footage wasn’t exciting enough. Considering how expensive it’s going to be to ship the whole cast and crew out to Italy, a bunch of expensive production delays are the last thing this show needs.

Space Relations: Guest Etiquette, Or How to Have (or Be) a Proper Houseguest

Posted: 09 May 2011 08:53 AM PDT

The first time my college roommate and I ever had a guest stay over we were living in the dorms. Our friend was deemed a ‘guest’ because he planned in advance to come visit us, as opposed to just being some guy who lived down the hall and fell asleep on our futon at 6am. We were excited to welcome our guest and make him as comfortable as one could be in a room the size of a jail cell, making sure to provide him with a nice blanket, fresh sheets and a pillow (all above-penitentiary grade). He came up Friday afternoon and stayed until Sunday morning, and we had a great time. That is, until we quickly noticed the giant wet spot he’d left behind on the futon, blanket and sheets. When we inquired about the spot – which was soaked – he said that he’d had too much to drink and must have sweat through the night. But deep down, we knew the truth. We didn’t get close enough to smell it, but we knew. It was then that I realized that having a guest – and being a guest – in a home shared by roommates can be tricky business. If someone was capable of pissing all over my brand new futon in just two nights, imagine what else he (or she) could be capable of doing during, say, a weeklong stay. Just the idea of it turned me off to guests for a long time.

But the fact is, when you’re living with other people, the chances of them never having someone visit from out of town are pretty slim. And what I’ve discovered is, some visitors actually kick a lot of ass! They turn out to be wonderful people who you wished you lived with instead of your roommate and with whom you become lifelong Facebook friends. The problem, though, is that for every cool guest you meet (or have over yourself), there are four who suck so bad you never want to see their face again. To this end, I’ve made a short guide of tips to employ both if you’re a guest, or if you have guests come to you, to help mitigate the seething rage that comes with having non-rent-payers take up temporary residence at your house.

First, let me be clear: There are many factors at play that determine the level of frustration a guest may cause. For instance, anyone who stays over for just one night (and doesn’t pee on your furniture) gets a pass. Also, if you live in a town where a three-bedroom house rents for $700 a month, having someone stay with you for a few days isn’t that big of a deal. You and your roommates each pay around $10 a day in rent, which is less than the cost of a burrito and a beer in most places. However, if you live in a big city like I do, rent is exponentially higher and a prime factor in the “guest equation.” Therefore the number one thing you want to avoid with your roommates is resentment. You and your roommates should agree on how much advance notice you want given before a guest shows up at your door. A week? Two weeks? Maybe it depends on if you have a proper guest room? Mostly it’s a precaution so you don’t each have multiple guests staying at your place at the same time.

Next, recognize that if your friend is staying on your couch (as opposed to your room or a guest room), your roommates will probably secretly hate you for the duration of that person’s stay. It’s nothing personal; they just want the couch back. Take that into consideration when determining the length of time your friend stays. In my last apartment, we had a rule that no one could stay longer than 5 nights, because after that shit got crazy. Anyone who’s had a guest stay for a week or more knows what I’m talking about. Also, if you have expectations for your friends, such as not wanting them to hang out at the house all day while you and your roommates are at work or class, let them know before they come. Some people don’t want to get home after a long day to find a random visitor chilling alone on the couch, watching their movies and eating their food, which is understandable.
