| Video: Every Line of Dialogue in The Lost Boys is ‘Michael’ Posted: 27 Aug 2011 08:45 AM PDT IT’S SO TRUE. And I didn’t even realize it– until this video. I am now enlightened. You should join the enlightened ranks. Not only will you be a better person for it, but even more importantly, Saturday morning is a great time to rediscover your hidden ’80s/vampire/the Coreys/Kiefer Sutherland/Jason Patric nostalgia. Amirite? Every Line of Dialogue in The Lost Boys is “Michael” from Dan Nixon on Vimeo. Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Teen Mom Amber Portwood’s Brother Has a Blog! Posted: 27 Aug 2011 07:15 AM PDT
Remember Amber Portwood’s brother Shawn? The one that we met in the second episode of the current season of Teen Mom? Amber and Gary took Leah on a disastrous vacation to a water park, and they went with Shawn, his girlfriend, and their two kids. Over the course of the trip, it became apparent that Shawn Portwood is quite possibly the only member of that family who has his shit together. When Amber bitched about how awful the car ride was, Shawn told her to stop being an idiot, talk to Gary, and chill out. When she said that Gary can be a “freaking retard” sometimes, Shawn told her they’re both retarded. When she told Shawn that she and Gary were in couples therapy, Shawn told her that they didn’t need couples therapy, they needed anger management classes. All of this is ABSOLUTELY TRUE. The best part, though, is that Shawn wasn’t mean the way Amber can be about any of this stuff. He was just being truthful and honest, and he was giving Amber a much-needed wake-up call. Whether or not she actually REGISTERED the wake-up call is a different matter, but I’m really glad that at least someone around there has his head on straight. And now he has a blog! Go Team Shawn! Shawn has dubbed his blog “The ‘Chili Man’ Chronicles.” I’m not really sure where the “Chili Man” bit came from– maybe it’s a nickname that we don’t know the backstory of– but the blog went into operation on August 13 with the description, “Basically I have many opinions and need to get them out in one way or another. They range from issues concerning my sister, niece, MTV, Jersey Shore (which I despise), and many other things.” So far, Shawn has addressed the Aeropostale banning Gary from wearing their clothing debacle and the incident involving Leah and the condoms, leading the blog to be mostly about two things: How much he hates Gary and why, and how much he hates MTV and why. The “why” is the important bit. He had some solid things to say about the condom incident in particular, a post which he cleverly titled “The Condoms Seen Around the World”:
Shawn goes on to talk about the bigger issues of MTV showing anything and everything that will be good TV without taking into account who or what will be affected by it– which is a reasonable concern. Besides the fact that it would be funny to see a two-year-old running around with a package of condoms, MTV probably didn’t bother to think how sucky it’s going to be for Leah when she’s older and getting teased on the playground for being the girl who ran around on national television with Daddy’s Magnums. But it’s good television, so they aired it– the same way they aired Amber hitting Gary, rather than calling the authorities to deal with it. It was good television, so they weren’t going to jeopardize that in any way. There aren’t many entries up yet, but I’m looking forward to seeing what Shawn writes about as time goes on. I especially can’t wait to read what he thinks about Jersey Shore. Potential for greatness, no? (Thanks to Lilit for the tip!) Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Parting Tweet: Snooki Is Concerned About Hurricane Irene Posted: 26 Aug 2011 04:02 PM PDT
Hurricane Irene is scheduled to smash right into the Jersey Shore this weekend, and Snooki is very concerned about the gang’s beach home. Whereas we’re just worried our power’s going to go out and we won’t be able to watch the VMAs, which is basically the same concern. Save us all, MTV! Post from: Crushable |
| Kathy Griffin Declares Her Love for Justin Bieber, But She’s Really Mocking Jim Carrey Posted: 26 Aug 2011 02:03 PM PDT While the rest of us were shuddering over how creepy Jim Carrey‘s “comedy routine” of a video love letter to Emma Stone was, Kathy Griffin was preparing her scathing parody of her fellow comedian. Her video message, copied almost line-for-line from Jim’s, is aimed at the only young heartthrob there is, Justin Bieber. Kathy waxes poetic about his lesbian bangs and the really awkward age difference between them. (Remember that the Biebs hasn’t even turned 18 yet!) What makes it funny is how she rejects all of the things that Jim wanted to do with Emma — get married, have sex, go camping. Using Justin was kind of an easy joke, since it’s no secret that grown women lust after this kid. We would’ve liked to see Kathy send her cheeky retort out to a slightly older, but still shy, actor… Like maybe Emma’s Amazing Spider-Man co-star Andrew Garfield!

| Scared About Irene? Here Are Some Hurricane Tips For You Posted: 26 Aug 2011 01:47 PM PDT
• Ask long time residents which streets flood, which ones flood first, how deep the water gets, which ones stay drier longer, and which streets drain off first. (So you'll know which way to go when you realize you forgot to get litter, toilet paper, or find that someone ate all the Oreo's last night even before the storm got here, or that moment of panic when "What do you mean we are out of….!") • If you drive down your street and notice everyone is boarding up their windows and loading up their cars, LEAVE. As a Newby, you may not be able to evaluate the danger/risk. Maybe next year you can be brave. • Line at ATM? Locals know to get cash early before machines run out. Once power goes off, machines won't work. After the storm, some stores may open but only accept cash. (Can't process credit cards with no power) • Use candles sparingly and with caution. Candles create heat and it's hot enough, already! (also, the fire hazard) • Potty alert. If the water system goes down/water pressure is low, you can't flush. Fill bath tub with water to bail for flushing and washing hands/face.(Line tub with plastic sheet before filling. Cover if possible. No splish-splashing in this water. Dogs or kids.) • Once power goes off, do not open fridge or freezer. Food should be OK for short period. • Before the storm: freeze water in 2 liter bottles or plastic milk jugs. Stand frozen bottles in the fridge to keep perishable food cold. (Don't fill the bottle all the way to the top. As water freezes, it expands needs room to "grow") When bottles of ice melt, use water for pets/washing/cooling down. Stay safe out there, guys! Post from: Crushable |
| Camp Week Video Decoder: Four Campy Music Videos, Explained Posted: 26 Aug 2011 01:49 PM PDT
So I know I just started this column last week and it’s a bit early to be going off-format, but when looking for a camp-themed video to decode this week, there were so many options that I couldn’t pick just one. Hence, I bring you not one but four great campy music videos, along with an abbreviated exegesis on each one. The Video: Mariah Carey, “Always Be My Baby” What it means: The utterly mismatched male and female romantic leads of this video are meant to drive home the point that not only do girls mature faster than boys, but that the early puberty borne of tormented, hormone-laden meat disproportionately affects young girls in American society. The campfire signifies the ritualistic burning of childhood; the lake, the obscure, slimy-bottomed, potentially eel-containing waters of adulthood. (Seriously, lakes are fucking gross.) Ms. Carey, catalyst to so many young people’s desire to become grownups, hovers over the lake teasingly in her tire swing of innocence, urging them to take the plunge. They listen. The Video: Hellogoodbye, “Here In Your Arms” What it means: The colorful imagery of this video creates a deliberate juxtaposition with the harshness with which the song’s computerized torture-pop hits the ear. The Pog tournament symbolizes a nostalgia for our 90′s childhoods that can only be the direct result of 9/11. The various kinds of ambiguously retro imagery—the Pogs of the 90′s, the B-Boys of the 80′s; the bowtied big bands of the 40′s—show that we are a generation un-moored in time, not unlike the unfortunate protagonist of Kurt Vonnegut’s masterpiece of modernism Slaughterhouse Five. The Video: RuPaul, “Supermodel”* What it means: RuPaul’s re-writing of history to create an imagined past in which he was born female bespeaks the alternate narratives lived by those with a non-normative interpretation of gender; despite protestations to the contrary, they were, in essence, born this way. The line “It doesn’t matter what you wear/they’re checking out your savoir faire” is a critical unraveling of the pretensions of the fashion world. The designer brands and status symbols are mere accessories to the true currency of the moment. Namely, the aforementioned savoir faire. *(I realize this video is backwards. I think it adds an extra layer of meaning to it, no? Like…this world, although fabulous, is but an inferior reflection of a world far more fabulous than this one. That is some Allegory of the Cave level shit.) The Video: RuPaul, “Jealous Of My Boogie” What It Means: Chi Chi LaRue knows how to draw on some seriously angry eyebrows.

| Hot Shot: James Marsden and Adam Scott on ‘The Bachelorette’ Set Posted: 26 Aug 2011 01:11 PM PDT
The Bachelorette‘s currently shooting in New York City. We wonder if Adam and James have any hurricane evacuation plans? Guys, you’re welcome to come over and cuddle if you get scared. (via Celebuzz) Post from: Crushable |
| Gallery: 5 Reality TV Stars We’d Let on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Posted: 26 Aug 2011 01:04 PM PDT
The Hollywood Walk of Fame has taken a firm stance against reality TV stars: When asked on their Facebook page if they would ever give reality show characters stars, they responded, “Hell to the no!” And for the most part we agree with them. A lot of reality stars are money-grubbing idiots screeching for attention and validation. But there are a few who have risen above the ruckus and actually made something of themselves — people who we respect and admire more than some “traditional” Hollywood actors. So maybe these guys can get stars? [via] Related posts: Post from: Crushable |

We’ll admit that we’re a little confused over why the plot of World War Z is 
Stop the presses: Someone involved in the Teen Mom franchise who is actually sane has a blog. And it’s AWESOME.
You guys, Hurricane Irene is coming and I live four blocks from a mandatory evacuation zone in NYC. So that’s pretty terrifying, right? I plan to hide out under blankets with a book, a flashlight, and bottle of Xanax. Are you getting worked up about the storm yourself?
