| Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Sammi Giancola Cannot Quit Each Other Posted: 27 May 2011 10:59 AM PDT
I seriously hope that these photos don’t indicate where the season is going – more Everyone But Ronnie and Sammi, please! Or I might have to leave the Shore for good. Post from: Crushable Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Sammi Giancola Cannot Quit Each Other |
| Fan Service: The Significance of Sex to Fandom Posted: 27 May 2011 10:24 AM PDT
In the intervening 10 years that I’ve been involved in the fandom world, I’ve noticed an increase in sex-specific stories, especally on LiveJournal where there’s an honor system and no constraints on content as long as there’s a clear warning stamped on the story. Whatever the fandom, you’ll find stories where the main couple — or obscure pairings, or random characters who never interacted on the show — are getting down. What seems to best unite fan authors is sex. (If you need more proof, check out this comic drawn by Comics Alliance spoofing fans’ predilections to slash — or write queer relationships for — basically every character in existence.) Fans have incredible imaginations when it comes to the bedroom, and it’s their peers who benefit from the steamy stories that get posted with a kink warning or a self-conscious disclaimer. That isn’t to comment on the sex lives of hardcore fans; I imagine that those having adventurous sex four times a week come to the keyboard in about the same form as fanfic authors experiencing a romantic dry spell. Because both groups are writing about characters, not themselves. Sex permeates all fanfiction. In a sense, fanfiction as a whole is like sex: Putting yourself out there, trying new things, trusting others’ reactions, seeing yourself in a new light. But really, I’d wager that at least 80% of fanfiction has a significant amount of sex in it. Fan authors who don’t specialize in PWP (Porn Without Plot) stories are a minority. A lot of genres — sitcom, procedural, teen soap, sci-fi western — are built on the “will-they-won’t-they” dynamic between the (usually) male and female leads. Aside from catching the murders and solving the season-long mystery, we’re waiting breathlessly to see when they’ll finally do it. Because that’s our link, our anchor in these unfamiliar worlds. We may not know how to hunt demons or have a $1 million trust fund, but we know what it means to want someone and to realize that that attraction is mutual.

| Celebrity Boxing Company Wants Jenelle Evans to Fight Danielle Staub Posted: 27 May 2011 10:05 AM PDT
In this corner, we have former Real Housewives of New Jersey star Danielle Staub, whose strengths are stalking cast members who don’t want to be her friend, making sex tapes, and being a prostitution whore. In case you were wondering, I would watch the hell out of that matchup. Jenelle is facing trial later this month for assaulting her friend Britany Truett. Reportedly, Britany had agreed not to press charges until she was charged herself. Damon Feldman, owner of Celebrity Boxing, is willing to pay $5,000 if Jenelle agrees to fight Danielle. But here’s the catch: the $5K would go to Britany, as long as she promised to drop her suit. There’s no word on whether Danielle has been approached or if she agreed to go along with it, but considering her recent failed deal with Scores I could see her needing the cash. However, the whole thing smacks of a publicity ploy for Celebrity Boxing. This article gets a bunch of stuff wrong – they spell her name “Jennelle,” for one, and they say that Jenelle and Britany’s fight was over “a boy” named Kieffer Delp. Anyone who watched Teen Mom 2 or even read a tabloid article about Jenelle would know that Kieffer is Jenelle’s on and off boyfriend, not just some random dude. (Well, he is random. But not in that way.) But if this mythical fight ever did happen, I’d buy tickets. Post from: Crushable Celebrity Boxing Company Wants Jenelle Evans to Fight Danielle Staub |
| 5 Facts About ‘Game of Thrones’ Star Jason Momoa Posted: 27 May 2011 09:15 AM PDT
1. His partner is Lisa Bonet Jason and actress Lisa Bonet (who used to be married to Lenny Kravitz) have been together since 2005 and have two kids together, Lola and Nakoa-Wolf. 2. He’s Hawaiian. Jason was born in Honolulu and raised in Iowa. His father is a Native Hawaiian and his mother’s heritage is German, Irish, and Native American. His kids’ names reflect Jason’s Hawaiian ancestry – Lola’s middle name is Iolani, and Nakoa-Wolf’s full name is Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa. In his audition for Conan, Jason performed a haka, a Polynesian war chant, which helped him get the part. 3. He used to be a model. Jason’s striking looks (he’s 6’4″) got him noticed by modeling scouts. He has walked the runway or appeared in campaigns for brands like Louis Vuitton and Takeo. In 1999, he won the “Hawaiian Model of the Year” contest. 4. Those muscles aren’t a new thing. Jason has always been athletic – in addition to surfing, mountain biking, skateboarding, and roller hockey, he has also been doing weight training for Conan. As a teenager, he was the youngest lifeguard in the history of the Gulf Coast. His physique has helped him get roles in projects like Baywatch and North Shore, both of which were filmed in Hawaii. 5. He has a softer side. Although he often gets cast as tough guys, Jason is a Buddhist and spends time every day meditating. In an interview with Den of Geek he said, “I like to read. I don’t have a TV. I don’t have email. I don’t have a phone. I read books, I take care of my children, I play guitar. I love Japanese haiku poetry. I love Charles Baudelaire, biographies, whatever catches my fancy.” Post from: Crushable 5 Facts About ‘Game of Thrones’ Star Jason Momoa |

| ‘American Idol’ Producer Nigel Lythgoe Slams Last Year’s Winner Lee DeWyze Posted: 27 May 2011 08:04 AM PDT
“I was not asked to be involved in the Finale,” Lee said on Twitter. “It wasn't until about 2 minutes before they announced that Nigel had approached me and asked if he could 'borrow' me for a second. I didnt feel a last second jump on stage was appropriate. It was Scotty's moment.I appreciate American Idol, and the opportunity it has given me. And the people who have made that show possible. I am not angry, or bitter etc. It was an amazing Finale, and I would have loved to be a part of it. I just wasnt [sic] asked.” While I’m not a big fan of Lee or his music, Nigel is notorious for manipulating contestants on the show. Rather than having wars of words with previous winners, I think Nigel’s time could be better spent improving the show and getting a winner who isn’t a generic white dude.

| Amber Chaney Cast as the Avox Girl in ‘The Hunger Games’ Posted: 27 May 2011 07:44 AM PDT
Chaney has appeared on Meet the Browns and a TV show called Somebodies, but this movie will be the biggest credit on her resume. Her role will be more difficult than some of the nameless tributes, because she won’t be able to talk. Judging from her headshot, however, she’s got the intense eyes to portray the suffering and anger of an Avox. (Also, even though she has naturally curly hair, I included a photo of her with straight hair because I think the Capitol would make its slaves plainer than its gussied-up citizens.) The Hunger Games has started shooting in North Carolina, and will hit theaters on March 23, 2012. Post from: Crushable Amber Chaney Cast as the Avox Girl in ‘The Hunger Games’ |
| Video Gallery: 10 Great Moments on ‘The Muppet Show’ Posted: 26 May 2011 02:45 PM PDT The new Muppet movie due out in November looks great (can Amy Adams and Jason Segel be in love in real life?), but before you enjoy the new, you need a history lesson. More than a decade before Day-Oh would bring to mind face-eating shrimp cocktail, the song was explained to us, and features the world’s only cute and cuddly tarantula. I would have enjoyed hearing John Cleese sing a Wagnerian opera. Steve Martin and singing produce. Best combo ever.

To the surprise of absolutely no one, Jersey Shore‘s gruesome twosome Sammi Giancola and Ronnie Ortiz-Magro are back on. Several paparazzi photos from Florence, where the cast is filming the next season of the series, show the couple hugging, holding hands, and generally engaging in a lot of annoying PDA. Combined with the rumors that Ronnie and The Situation 
You know those posters that say All I know about life, I learned in kindergarten? Well, all I know about sex, I learned from fan fiction. I was 12 when I first got into fandom, and about 14 when I started reading graphic fan fiction. I didn’t do so indiscriminately; Firefly had gotten cancelled after half a season, so I was struggling to prolong the stories through fanfiction. R-rated fiction happened to appear on every site I visited. To be honest, I was curious, and there was nothing stopping me except for an “Are you over 17?” pop-up that I could click with only a shadow of guilt.
In this corner, we have Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans, whose strengths are giving up custody of her kid to her mom, getting arrested on drug charges, and beating up her friend on video.
You might know him as the badass warlord Khal Drogo on Game of Thrones, but Jason Momoa is about to blow up. His next project is a remake of Conan the Barbarian, the movie that catapulted Arnold Schwarzenegger to stardom. So who is Jason, and what do you need to know about him?
The Emmy nominations will be announced in July, but it’s never too early to start campaigning. Although Family Guy has been nominated for Best Comedy before, they’ve never won. So they’ve released this “For Your Consideration” ad that features Stewie in front of an empty trophy cabinet. The ad was mailed out to Academy voters. Will this be the year Family Guy finally takes home gold?
Miley Cyrus is using her Twitter account to speak out against clothing store chain Urban Outfitters. Yesterday, news broke that Urban had 
American Idol has a funny relationship with its previous winners. Former Idols David Cook and Ruben Studdard have had their songs played for Idol “kickoff” moments, while less-beloved winners like Taylor Hicks hardly ever appear on the show again. And while former Idols often appear on season finales to pose for photo ops – or duets – with this year’s contestants, it’s not always a given. Idol producer Nigel Lythgoe slammed last year’s winner, Lee DeWyze (or, as I like to call him, “That guy who beat Crystal Bowersox for no apparent reason and then almost puked on national television”) for not showing up to hand new Idol Scotty McCreery his title Miss America-style. However, Lee says that there was 
Another unknown joins the Hunger Games cast: Amber Chaney will play the Avox girl (whose name is revealed to be Lavinia), a slave who had her tongue cut out for a traitorous act and who serves the tributes in the Capitol as their personal servant. In the first book, Katniss comes to recognize Lavinia from somewhere pre-Games, but I won’t spoil that.
