| Gallery: Fictional Characters Turned Real-Life Criminals Posted: 20 Aug 2011 10:20 AM PDT I have terrible, terrible news for you all: Your favorite fictional characters have begun to turn to lives of crime.

We must save the characters! Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Kim Kardashian’s Eyebrows Are Ready to Get Married Posted: 20 Aug 2011 09:58 AM PDT
How did Kim Kardashian spend her last night as a single lady? Not getting plastered with her girlfriends, or shopping for shoes online, or watching a Sex and the City marathon — Kim sat down for a late night eyebrow grooming session with her makeup artist Anastasia. And then she tweeted a photo of the ordeal, naturally. Kim and Kris are set to tie the night this evening in Montecito, CA. Kim’s currently deciding between three Vera Wang dresses crafted just for her by the designer. As for shoes, it’s going to be Louboutins, and her head with be working with a jeweled tiara. Fancy!

| Video: Secret ‘Jersey Shore’ Audition Tapes! Posted: 20 Aug 2011 08:50 AM PDT We all know that the fifth season of Jersey Shore will be the last for the current cast– but that doesn’t mean the show is ending all together. We’ve managed to get a hold of some of the audition tapes for the next crew, and some of the submissions are… surprising: Oh, never mind. It’s just Conan being hilarious. False alarm!

| What Should Kate Gosselin Do Now That ‘Kate Plus 8′ Has Been Cancelled? Posted: 20 Aug 2011 07:15 AM PDT In a long-overdue move earlier this week, TLC finally axed Kate Plus 8, and the world rejoiced. But you know who’s probably not rejoicing? Kate Gosselin. Tragedy! However will she take care of her massive ego– er, I mean, her massive brood of children– now? Obviously, it’s time to find a new career. But what should she do next? Well, Kate, we’ve got some ideas for you. Care to take a look? Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Parting Tweet: The West Memphis Three Are Free Citizens Again Posted: 19 Aug 2011 03:35 PM PDT
The West Memphis Three is the name given to a trio of men — Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley and Jason Baldwin – who were wrongly convicted of the murder of three young boys 18 years ago. The Arkansas residents, who were all teenagers at the time, were victims of poor public defense and satanic panic. Damien Echols was put on death row, and then other two men were given life sentences. However, the WM3 were finally released today after agreeing to a plea that let off on time served. Numerous celebrities, including Eddie Vedder and Marilyn Manson, have offered support to the WM3 over the years. HBO produced a three-part documentary series called Paradise Lost, the last installment of which is currently in the editing process. Here’s the trailer: Finally, a little bit of justice for three men who seem much like kind, decent humans who have suffered from some of the worst like imaginable. Post from: Crushable |
| The Dos and Don’ts of Drama, with Degrassi: Eli’s Play Is… Well, It’s Certainly Dramatic Posted: 19 Aug 2011 02:02 PM PDT
It’s opening night for Eli‘s semi-autobiographical play, and while he’s now made Clare the hero, Jake‘s the villain. Plus, poor Imogen is trying to get Eli to like her, but the mercurial playwright (who’s not taking his meds) won’t see her as anything but a shadow of Clare. Outside of the drama classroom, KC sabotages adoption proceedings, and Anya can’t seem to find any sort of career that fits her. (coughLARPercough) Curtains up! Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| The 9 Lives of Chloe King: 9 Reactions on the Season (Series?) Finale Posted: 19 Aug 2011 01:26 PM PDT
(Side note: Sorry this is late, but I moved across the country and I hadn't had a chance to watch the episode until later this week!) 1. Useless Deaths So, a lot of people die in this episode. Chloe dies, of course, because it's dramatic, even though she has seven—or rather six—more lives left. Brian dies because she kisses him, which is just as unceremonious and melodramatic as it sounds. And Valentina and Jasmine die because Zane is a crazy whatsit and kills them. Like, really? One after the other? It's just so…random and depressing. Not only was Jasmine one of the lovely main characters, but Valentina was the leader, the gamekeeper in terms of the show—she gave people assignments and reasons for jumping off buildings or running after Chloe. Sure, these deaths create drama (which I'll look at later), but it just really seems to me that number of deaths and their real lack of buildup (didn't we meet Zane a week ago?) didn't pack a real punch other than annoyance. 2. Brian Is Not Okay I don't understand how Chloe's mom thinks it's okay for her sixteen-year-old daughter to go on a road trip with a college-aged boy. It might be different if she knew him better, but she obviously doesn't even know his last name, as evidenced by her meeting with Brian's dad and the lack of a scene where her mom asks about the name and possible relation. Not only is this dissonant in terms of Chloe's mother's characterization—weren't they just rescuing her boyfriend's daughter from a human trafficking ring? Wouldn't she be even more protective of Chloe then?—it also shows that the writers didn't think about Brian's character enough to provide these details. Instead, because of their lack of focus, they were able to provide a cheap thrill when it was revealed that Chloe's mother was dining with Brian's father. 3. Not to Mention How Terrible His Grandmother Was Anyway, the road trip ends with Brian finally meeting his grandmother. Their conversations go from teary to downright weird. When Brian talks about his father covering up his mother's death, the grandmother coolly notes that she wouldn't be surprised if he was involved in his wife's death. Um. What?? Way to just have a throwaway line that you think that maybe your son is a murderer! Especially to his grandson?! Of course, this makes sense later when we realize that Brian's grandmother is a jerk (whose voice drops an octave when she's not playing nice), and talks to Simone (the red-headed woman) about how she needs proof that Chloe's the cat messiah. 4. Simone, What's Your Damage? Maybe Simone and Brian's grandmother are related? They both have red hair. Anyway, it doesn't seem like the actress (Jolene Anderson) knows how to act, simply because she, like the audience, probably has no idea what her motivations are. I guess she's working with Brian's grandmother behind Brian's dad's back, but it seems like they have the exact same goal anyway, just different means to do it. If you both want certain people dead, how much does it matter who does it? Or maybe Simone's just working the grandmother and the dad against each other so she can make some money on the side? Whoa, Simone. Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Crushable Presents: The Edited Boardwalk Empire Poster Posted: 19 Aug 2011 01:21 PM PDT
Yesterday, Vulture premiered the first poster for the new season of prohibition drama Boardwalk Empire. And all the characters looked so intensely thoughts that we couldn’t help but wonder what could have been going on inside those heads. So we edited the poster with what we imagine was being pondered when this photo was taken. Post from: Crushable |
| The King Is Dead, Long Live Burger King Posted: 19 Aug 2011 01:15 PM PDT
The Burger King King was found dead in his Santa Monica home late last night, suspected to have fallen victim to a mixture of prescription drug overdose, un-treated syphilis, and the fact that everyone found him way creepy. Lindsay Lohan could not be reached for comment. Just kidding, he was murdered by his very own parents, namely, the advertising department at Burger King. In an effort to appeal to “Mom,” the King has been “retired” and replaced with…a bunch of fucking avocados. Say what? Via USA Today:
This is exactly just what moms like! Provided your mom is a candy-flipping raver from the mid-nineties, of course. “OMG guys,” she will exclaim, “I think this is like, the smoothest anything has ever tasted in my mouth. I want to make cosmic love to it.” And then she will take off all her clothes and rub herself with the exotic new food known as “guacamole,” as moms are wont to do. And this guacamole will be from Burger King. Sounds like a no-fail strategy to me. R.I.P., you monarch of monarchs. May a chorus of Whoppers sing you to your rest.

Tyler Blackburn has made a name for himself as bad boy Caleb Rivers on Pretty Little Liars, but did you know that he can sing, too? Because he can! Not only is Blackburn set to star in a new web series from the producers of The Vampire Diaries called Wendy, but also, he lends his vocal talents to the series’ theme song. Wendy, which premieres on September 15, will update the classic tale of Peter Pan in fun ways for a modern audience; Blackburn will star as Pete, and Meaghan Martin of Camp Rock will take on the title role. When faced with a choice between the boy she loves and the boy of her dreams, who will Wendy pick? Tune in to find out! The show’s theme song, “Save Me,” is performed by indie rock band Golden State, and features Blackburn belting his pretty little heart out. Check out the smoldering hot video here:
So some crazy stuff went down in San Francisco in the 9 Lives of Chloe King season finale. People died in unceremoniously random ways, families were revealed, and Chloe learned—again—that you just can't trust the internet.
