| Infographic: Are You the Crime Show Killer? Posted: 11 May 2011 10:55 AM PDT
Drawing from such classic procedurals as Law & Order, CSI, NCIS, and Murder, She Wrote, Alex Leo came up with this handy guide to guessing who the perp is in the first twenty minutes. Start with one of the middle four questions. You know which show fits this perfectly? Bones! Every time I recognize an actor — and thanks to my childhood spent reading Entertainment Weekly, I recognize a lot of actors — I know that s/he did it. Every time… Post from: Crushable Infographic: Are You the Crime Show Killer? |
| The Daily WTF: David Lynch Sells Coffee to Barbie Posted: 11 May 2011 10:31 AM PDT David Lynch Signature Cup Coffee from David Lynch on Vimeo. David Lynch has a coffee company, and he decided to bring that fact to our attention via a video of himself talking to a dislocated Barbie doll head. While this bizarre, dreamy sequence doesn’t exactly make us want a cup of Joe (more like a Vicodin and a name), we do have the urge to break out our Twin Peaks DVDs and track down our Ken.

| ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Star Taylor Armstrong And Her Husband Have Separated Posted: 11 May 2011 10:30 AM PDT
A source (I’m guessing Taylor herself, or her publicist) told Us Weekly that the couple separated three weeks ago. The couple reportedly split because of fights about money, which also isn’t shocking considering that Taylor spent five figures on their daughter Kennedy‘s fifth birthday party. I assume this means that Taylor’s divorce is going to become a major storyline during season two of Real Housewives, the way that Camille Grammer‘s divorce from Kelsey Grammer was a big plot in season one. In an interesting tidbit, Us adds a little nugget of show gossip at the end of the post, mentioning that Kyle and new addition Brandi Glanville have been fighting nonstop. Season two is going to be so good, you guys. Post from: Crushable ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Star Taylor Armstrong And Her Husband Have Separated |

Glee‘s Prom List Rating: 68 The Art of Asking: 7/10 Artie gave us reunion plus a cute asking scene all in one: He ambushed Brittany in Home Ec and began to sing “Isn’t She Lovely” (and yes, Mercedes points out that the song is actually about a baby). Right as she’s going to yell at him to leave, in come Puck and Sam on guitars, and you can see the embarrassed delight on her face. But it’s when Mike joins in with a wooden spoon on a cheese grater and Finn taps his drumsticks on the counter that it becomes a truly cute moment. One of my complaints with Glee is that it’s too unrealistic, but this actually seemed like it could happen at a typical high school. She can’t say yes, though, because him calling her stupid was really hurtful. Can You Feel the Love Tonight: 8/10 Spurned by Brittany, Artie resorts to spiking the punch. Jesse St. James returns to take Rachel to prom, but it’s clear even at the pre-dance dinner that he’s still an unapologetic asshole. Yet it’s Finn who stirs up trouble when, seeing Rachel and Jesse dancing cheek-to-cheek, he starts a fight that gets both him and Jesse kicked out of prom. This is devastating for Quinn, who wanted a perfect night with her doofy prince. Mercedes is really taking it hard that she doesn’t have a date, because what she had most envisioned in dreaming about prom was being with a guy who wanted her. Near the end of the episode, Sam stops by her table to tell her, “You look beautiful tonight. Would you care to dance?” — exactly as she had confessed to Rachel she had wished a guy would do. So, it’s unclear if Rachel masterminded this or if Sam were simply being nice. Montages and Choreographed Dance Sequences: 9/10 Aside from Kurt offering advice on the ladies’ dress choices, there was no montage of fittings, though it was sweet to see how his advice brightened Zizes’ disappointment. The high score comes simply from the format of the show. Not all of the songs were amazing (see below in “Playlist”), but the fact that we had crooners and dance songs intermixed with the action heightened each storyline. Dress Drama: 6/10 With this group, I was expecting some sort of scissors-to-dress sabotage, but the characters kindly stayed away from everyone else’s outfits. This could be the best-looking group yet, especially because each look comes from a different place. A lot of the kids resort to making their outfits, either because of fashion constraints (Kurt), sizing (Zizes), or budget. Mercedes and Rachel buy their dresses — respectively, a sparkly magenta number and a surprisingly understated poofy pink princess dress — at the $5 discount store, while their joint date Sam borrows a tux from his dad and embellishes it with a bolo tie a la young Bruce Springsteen. Kurt struts out in an ensemble inspired by the Royal Wedding: A studded tuxedo jacket over a kilt, or, as Finn calls it, “gay Braveheart.” Santana goes with a sultry one-shouldered red gown with roses; Brittany is adorable in a lime-green poofy dress; Zizes goes with navy and looks great. However, Quinn easily has the best (and probably most expensive) dress; her mom’s not lying when she says the light blue gown makes her look like Cinderella. As mean and shallow as the character is portrayed, it’s nice to see her enjoy the night. Resemblance to Our Proms: 9/10 My only quibble is that the student body looked too huge for a junior prom, but otherwise the preparations, decorations, and even the kids performing on stage seemed totally realistic.

| Boyfriend Of The Week: Nick Offerman Posted: 11 May 2011 09:39 AM PDT
It was of Parks and Recreation star Nick Offerman— an action shot. He is in his L.A. wood shop sanding the bottom of a canoe that he has built. A finished, gleaming canoe hangs upside down above his head, the different tones of the wood like Hershey syrup running through a chocolate milk river. Nick slightly squints down at the hand that is doing the sanding, full of determination. He will get the bottom of that canoe smoother than a baby's ass, after that baby's ass has been extensively dermabrasioned. His other hand rests gently on the curve of the boat, cupping it like a tree's breast. Wood chips lay on his hair, the tips of his beard bristle, his blue shirt, his arm hairs like moon dust. Safety goggles wait atop his head, but they look nearly identical to my favorite Ralph Lauren shield aviators that Brent makes fun of me for wearing, saying that I look like a space fly. So in this one picture not only is Nick Offerman the very image of rugged masculinity, of a deeper passion that dwarfs everything that is flimsy and unrewarding about Hollywood, but he is also validating my preference of protective eyewear. And for all those reasons, he is my Boyfriend of the Week. I bet when he gets into bed at night, he smells like a cedar cabin on a warm summer night. I bet his wife, Megan Mullally, smells like I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, or at least that's how I'm going to keep it in my head. Their bed? A four-poster he built, the columns sturdy and intricately carved with pivotal scenes from his boyhood, like the time he domesticated a lone wolf with one devastating look from his sad, soulful blue eyes, securing its lifelong loyalty and undying friendship, and the time he helped a beaver build a dam by chopping wood with his bare hands (I don't know that any of this actually happened, just so we're straight again). Brent likes to remind me that once he built a house. This was back in Arkansas, so before I first set foot in the state, I was picturing something with a knotted front porch, a brick chimney for cold winters, a pitched, shingled roof, some sassafras trees growing outside, although I'm not totally sure that I know what sassafras trees look like. All I know is they sound amazingly Southern— like I can imagine someone's grandma telling him to go drink his jug of moonshine under the old sassafras tree. I might have also been picturing a door like on a Hobbit hole. When Brent finally took me around to that house last summer (I think "took me around" sounds Southern too), I was pretty surprised to pull up to a suburban tract home with a square of lawn and no porch. No porch! But where does the ageless grandmammy of the family rock in her chair and brush the bottom of her long braid, you ask? Well, I guess the family just dumps her in the Whirlpool tub that Brent installed in the bathroom and lets her steep in there until it's time for bed. Where do the kids drink their jugs of moonshine? In a ceramic tiled kitchen like the rest of us yuppie scum. And while the Arkansas house may not offer the same folksy charms as an Offerman canoe (or jewelry box), the fact remains that my real boyfriend built a workable residence. And that is still hot. As my friend Molly pointed out this week when I mentioned Brent's construction abilities, "Well then you should DEF stick with him if there's ever an apocalypse. Those are skills we'll need the most in our new world." I just hope if it gets to the point where he needs to guide me as we build a shelter together, it goes better than the time he tried to guide me as we put together the unassembled bed frame we bought at Mathis Brothers. Because we almost broke up over that. Post from: Crushable Boyfriend Of The Week: Nick Offerman |
| Real Love: 12 Couples Who Met On Reality Shows Posted: 11 May 2011 09:22 AM PDT The Bachelor is far from the only place to find love on TV.

From Kirsty Swanson and Lloyd Eisler‘s illicit hookup to Rachel Campos and Sean Duffy‘s houseful of kids, meet some of the reality couples who have actually made it work.

| ‘Hunger Games’ Fireside Chat Episode 6 Highlights Posted: 11 May 2011 09:03 AM PDT
Fan artist Kate Wheeler (that’s her work, above) was able to call in, so we chatted with her about her commissions and how she envisions Fireside Chat’s favorite character, Greasy Sae. My favorite part of the night was the debate over whether a video game based on The Hunger Games would just glorify teen-on-teen violence, or if instead of the dystopian version of a shoot-em-up we could have more of a character-based role-playing game.

| Video: Is ‘Meloncholia’ the Most Depressing Movie of All Time? Posted: 11 May 2011 08:25 AM PDT Lars Von Trier, director of such fun-filled flick as Dogville and Antichrist, has said that his upcoming film Meloncholia is the only movie he’s ever made that doesn’t have a happy ending. Translation: it’s about the destruction of the earth and will make anyone who watches it utterly miserable. This clip, with Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg, is just as bleak as promised. Cat video antidote, please! Post from: Crushable Video: Is ‘Meloncholia’ the Most Depressing Movie of All Time? |
Try to look surprised – Real Housewives of Beverly Hills villain Taylor Armstrong and her husband Russell Armstrong 
The first 90 second of “Prom Queen” reminded me of the many issues I have with Glee, but Ryan Murphy and co. managed to turn out a nice, if predictable, prom episode. Where they succeeded — and Monday’s 90210 failed — was in reminding us how essential prom is to high schoolers, and how nerve-wracking the preparations leading up to it are. Also, “Friday.”
Last October People magazine put out a supplementary issue called "Stars At Home!" (exclamation point theirs— also, my mom mails me her People issues when she finishes reading them, so it's not like I picked up the magazine because the cover promised a look at Audrina Patridge's bedroom, just so we're straight here) and a photograph inside froze me in my celebrity home inspection tracks.
Every time a tribute is chosen for the Hunger Games, Effie Trinket or another representative greets him/her with, “May the odds be ever in your favor!” | You are subscribed to email updates from Crushable To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
