Dancing with the Stars: Did Mark Ballas Plagiarize His Chelsea Kane Freestyle Dance?

Posted: 24 May 2011 11:09 AM PDT

Last night, Mark Ballas and Chelsea Kane performed a samba on Dancing with the Stars‘ second to last show of the season. Now, a forum poster with the handle CassandraRedux on Television Without Pity says it’s possible that Mark plagiarized the routine from pro dancers Max Kozhevnikov and Yulia Zagoryuchenko. Both dances feature women in fringed pants dancing to the song “Hip Hip Chin Chin,” but perhaps someone who knows more about dance than I do can analyze the steps?

Here is Chelsea and Mark’s dance:

And here is Max and Yulia’s dance:

Hot Shot: Diego Boneta Goes Shirtless for ‘Rock of Ages’

Diego Boneta and co-star Julianne Hough hit a Miami beach to film a scene for their upcoming movie Rock of Ages yesterday. We were going to crop Julianne out for you, but then we figured it would be more fun to let you Photoshop your own heads onto her body. Enjoy!

Video: Justin Bieber’s Perfume Ad Is Super Creepy, Also Rapturey

Posted: 24 May 2011 10:00 AM PDT

Here’s the narrative of Justin Bieber‘s perfume commercial: Girl spritzes her neck with “Someday” and Justin suddenly appears behind her. He sniffs her and then she’s Raptured up into Heaven. And again: the girl sprays the other side of her neck and once more, Bieber appears to send her soul skywards.

Sure, this seems harmless enough (unless you’re Harold Camping), but we anticipate a horrific new trend destined to afflict our impressionable youth. Girls will begin to spray more and more of the perfume, hoping for those wonderful moments of Bieber neck-sniffing, and then they’ll realize that in large enough quantities, the perfume can actually get you high. Then they’ll be lost forever, doomed to wander the mall glassy-eyed with matted hair buried under Justin Bieber Purple™ hoodies. Worse than bath salts!

Unlike the creepy lipstick crab we featured a few weeks ago, here’s a piece of makeup art that doesn’t travel into the uncanny valley. Artist Katie Alves recreates iconic Disney settings — Snow White, Aladdin, The Nightmare Before Christmas – in the tiny space of two eyelids. My personal favorite is Tangled for the many tiny golden lanterns, but this Lion King piece is so impressive, down to the detail of Rafiki holding Simba up to the sun.

Justin Bartha and ‘The Hangover: Part II’ — The Tragedy of Being Cast as the Bride or Groom in a Wedding Movie

Posted: 24 May 2011 10:47 AM PDT

All the publicity for The Hangover: Part II is focused on the reunion of “the wolf pack”: Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, and Zach Galifianakis. But what about Justin Bartha? Sure, he had only a few minutes in the first movie because he was the missing groom on whom the adventure centered. The synopsis even says that he travels with the guys to Thailand for Stu’s (Helms) wedding, but the posters and trailers would have you think that he had nothing to do with the movie.

The first movie cemented Cooper, Helms, and Galifianakis as a comedic trio who played off one another in their search to locate Bartha. The sequel brings back many elements from the original: A lost kid (this time it’s Stu’s fiance’s little brother), a creature to care for (trade baby for monkey), and Stu stuck with a disfiguring facial issue (lost tooth is nothing compared to a mysterious tattoo). Hell, Mr. Chow (Ken Jeong) gets more screen time than Bartha!

And now it seems that Bartha has found himself in the situation of anyone who misses out on a great party: As much as they tell you about the fun, you weren’t part of it, and you’ll get overlooked when it comes to setting up the next great adventure. What’s distressing is that he’s proven himself to be a funny actor. I first saw him in 2004′s National Treasure, where he provided the witticisms to break up Nicolas Cage‘s intense conspiracy theories. He knows his stuff, and yet he got stuck outside of the action yet again.

This issue isn’t confined to the Hangover movies. Think back through wedding-themed comedies, and it’s difficult to find an engaged character who is genuinely interesting. Take Maya Rudolph in Bridesmaids: As great as she is playing off Kristen Wiig and Rose Byrne, she’s undoubtedly the “straight (w0)man” to her dysfunctional bridesmaids. The bride in 27 Dresses (Malin Akerman) is a spoiled brat, but we never find out where that entitlement comes from.

STD Week: 6 Condoms You Won’t Find at the Gas Station

Posted: 24 May 2011 09:05 AM PDT

When celebrating you buy the brand name soda, roll out the good plates, wear your least (or most, depending on style) ripped jeans. So while you celebrate STD week, don’t just buy the same old Trojans, go for some jazzier protection.

Questionable Choices: The Olsen Twins Are 100 Years Old

Posted: 24 May 2011 08:51 AM PDT

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are actually 24 years old, though from looking at them you might assume they’re a pair of twins in their 80s. They’re like a couple of wealthy Upper East Side eccentrics who stroll about in the afternoon with their bejeweled Affenpinscher puppies named Rotunda and Princess Penelope, stopping to have tea with members of the Bouvier family on Persian rugs on the steps of the Met. Old, old, old!

This chart is very useful for deciding which animals make good pets. For example, adopting a firefly will just lead to heartbreak, but a hippopotamus will be alive for forty years! Also, um, I thought dogs lived forever…

Crushable Quotable: Jordan Ward Speaks About Her Second Pregnancy

Posted: 24 May 2011 08:18 AM PDT

After tons of speculation about 16 and Pregnant‘s Jordan Ward being pregnant again, she has taken to her Facebook page to confirm the rumor. Her twin sister Jessica Ward had confirmed the news on her own Facebook page, but Jordan had remained silent until now (there are also rumors that Jordan asked Dr. Drew not to bring it up during the 16 and Pregnant reunion special). On her official Facebook fan page, she wrote:

I’ve read every comment on here. Yes I’m pregnant again. I really do not care if you think it’s wrong. I am married, we pay for everything , we aren’t living off of family or anything. We pay rent , we own our car, for insurance, pay for food, pay for our cell phones, pay for clothes and whatever Noah needs. And we are moving in a house in august. && here’s a kicker….. I AM THE ONE WHO TAKES CARE OF NOAH 24/7!

While I can’t believe one of the teen moms would be dumb enough to get pregnant again so soon after having a baby, I’ve said before – and will say again – that I’m so glad it’s Jordan and not one of the other girls from this season. Unlike Jennifer del Rio or Jamie McKay, Jordan and her husband Brian Finder don’t have drug problems or prison records, and they seem to have a stable relationship. Plus, Brian’s in the military, which means the family will have housing and benefits. It’s not an ideal situation, but she’s probably the most capable (with the possible exception of Cleondra Carter) of taking care of another kid. And considering that 814 people “liked” her Facebook post and 240 people people commented on it, it’s clear that girl has some fans out there. Teen Mom producers, are you listening?
