| Video: Michael Buble Dresses As Justin Bieber Posted: 27 Sep 2010 11:00 AM PDT What happens when a preternaturally mature easily listening artist dresses as the world’s foremost teeny bopper icon? Well, suffice it to say Freud would have a field day with the latest Michael Bublé video. Michael donned a hoodie and side-swept his bangs to appear as Justin Bieber in the vid for “Hollywood,” a song all about the price of fame. Or something. We find Bublé-as-Bieber to be kind of adorable, though we imagine more than a few moms are now undergoing crises of sexuality.

| Posted: 27 Sep 2010 10:42 AM PDT Attention midtown Manhattan creeps. Desigual is having an Undies Party tomorrow – The first 100 people who line up outside the Spanish chain’s New York store in nothing but their underwear will get to pick out any two items for free. Any semi-nudists found outside after that will leave without the benefit of free stuff. Or their dignity. Post from: Crushable  |
| The Daily WTF: Willow Smith Skunks Out Posted: 27 Sep 2010 10:04 AM PDT While most nine-year-olds spent their weekends munching popcorn with the Guardians of Ga’Hoole, Willow Smith took her new skunk ‘do to the front row of a Milan fashion show. It’s not every day you see an homage to one of the foulest creatures on the planet, especially not coupled with a pint-sized jacket/cape/hoodie thing. We admire the kid’s moxie, though she might want to chill out with the chemicals before she ends up rocking the bald eagle look. Post from: Crushable The Daily WTF: Willow Smith Skunks Out  |

Someone in the Greenpoint area of Brooklyn is actually trying to pawn off a backyard play house as a legit apartment. There must be laws against that, right? And $500 isn’t even that cheap!

One reader had a personal story to tell. Crushable commenter Eileen said: “I see how it could be a bad idea, but then I'm reminded of the fact that my parents met because my mom was hired to work in the lab my father did.” See? Sometimes Jim and Pam stories do really work out. Post from: Crushable Poll Results: Half Of You Would Date A Coworker  |
| Crushable Confessional: I'm obsessed with Insanity Posted: 27 Sep 2010 09:26 AM PDT
Insanity is one of the exercise videos put out by BeachBody.com. It’s painful, intense iterative training, in a series of 10 videos that go from 16 minutes to an hour. The pain is led by a super jacked guy named Shaun T. He’s surrounded by similarly shirtless men and sports bra clad women who are in ridiculous shape. They all put you through a series of “insane,” repetitive exercises that often leave me completely asthmatic. And I love it. I wasn’t ever into exercise videos before Shaun T. Mostly due to my aversion to hyper perky females in spandex. And I can’t be bothered to buy the balls and weights and rubber bands that are usually necessary. But Beach Body entices couch surfers with the promise of incredibly ripped muscles in 60 days. One of my friends bought both Insanity and P90x, and after hearing her jabber about them for weeks, I decided to do a video with her. P90x is more famous, I think. Pink and other celebrities do those workouts. But you know what? Tony Horton – the guy who leads those – is incredibly irritating. I only lasted through two videos of Tony Horton’s jokes. The beauty of Shaun T is that he’s mostly lacking in personality. His immense muscles and those of his underlings serve as enough motivation to get me moving. That and the way that he screams at you to keep going as he pushes you through the motions and jumps he’s created (while the screen gently contradicts with things like: “Go At Your Own Pace” and “Take a Break When You Need To”). I don’t know if I’ve actually lost any weight since starting Insanity. But I do know that Insanity endorphins are kind of addicting. And as soon as you start talking about it, you sound like a crazy person. It’s ok. I know I’m too lazy to do Insanity enough to look like as jacked as Shaun T. And I won’t become one of those people who films themselves doing Insanity in the living room. But I did do some Cardio Abs this morning. And I might do more tomorrow. I was not paid for this message. But yes, Shaun T. If you’re reading this, I will accept some free Shakeology for this post. Post from: Crushable Crushable Confessional: I'm obsessed with Insanity  |

| Celebrity Look-Alike Gallery: On-Screen Confusion Edition Posted: 27 Sep 2010 09:19 AM PDT Is it just us or is there an epidemic of doppelganger casting going on? Lately, every time we turn on our TVs or sit back to watch a movie trailer we’re presented with two actors who look exactly the same. From chiseled tough guys Michael Pitt and Michael Shannon on Boardwalk Empire to The Social Network’s curly-headed goofballs, Justin Timberlake and Jesse Eisenberg, we’re spending more time trying to keep the characters straight than actually watching the action. And don’t even get us started on all those brunette secretaries in Mad Men. Post from: Crushable Celebrity Look-Alike Gallery: On-Screen Confusion Edition  |
| 5 Ways HBO Tries to Make Up For 'Mad Men' with 'Boardwalk Empire' Posted: 27 Sep 2010 08:55 AM PDT
Don’t worry though, HBO has a plan. They might have missed the boat the first time around, but that doesn’t mean they can’t create their own costume-centric period piece: The new 1920s prohibition-era epic Boardwalk Empire. We’ve already discussed how Boardwalk’s style is looking to make “flappers” the new “secretaries in tight dresses,” but here are some other ways the cable television network is trying to make up for the faux-pas. 1. Getting some more Sopranos’ guys! Soprano’s writer Terence Winter created Boardwalk Empire and was backed by Martin Scorsese, so can you blame HBO for throwing $50 million at this project? If an intern from The Sopranos had come to the head of HBO and said “Lets make a TV show about America in, uh…1972,” we’d probably be watching that right behind Steve Buscemi’s big-lipped Nucky. 2. Everyone hates children, but loves breasts. Hey if both Mad Men and Boardwalk Empire have taught us anything non-fashion-related, it’s that things weren’t as wholesome back in the day as our grandparents would have us believe. Daddy slept with his secretary. Parents had sex in front of their kids and vaccuum cleaners! Moms kissed their grown sons on the mouth! The more salicious, the more HBO gets to push the limits of what AMC can’t show you. 3. Throw money at it. True story: Boardwalk Empire cost more money to film than any show, ever. Mostly because instead of shooting in Atlantic City, they just built a whole boardwalk in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. What was the point of that? To get people talking about how expensive this show was, d’uh. 4. Hire weird looking people. Hey, The Sopranos didn’t work because James Gandolfini and Edie Falco were stunners, did it? If there’s one way to show that your series is Emmy-worthy, it’s to fill your cast up with bug-eyed, big-lipped, odd-faced celebrities. Then you can claim that your program didn’t float by on the good looks of lead characters who can’t act their way out of a paper bag (January Jones). Michael Shannon, Steve, and Michael Pitt are not “handsome” Jon Hamm/John Slattery types, therefore they are better actors. D’uh. 5. Put Martin Scorsese’s name on it. Yeah, you hear that, Weiner? We got Scorsese! Good luck with your masturbating kids and Beatles tickets! Post from: Crushable 5 Ways HBO Tries to Make Up For 'Mad Men' with 'Boardwalk Empire'  |
| Video: 'Jersey Shore' Does Sesame Street (Not Really) Posted: 27 Sep 2010 08:11 AM PDT Does Jimmy Kimmel have the exclusive rights to Jersey Shore cast members doing ridiculous skits? He had them for that whole Twilight debacle, and now JWOWW and Pauly D. are back to spoof on Sesame Street, obviously the most relevant cultural reference we have right now (besides Jersey Shore). “Rubber, Rubber,” you guys.

The results are in for our 
Confession: I’m obsessed with Shaun T. I have a new roommate, and the first morning she stayed in the apartment, I woke her up with the sounds of my grunting and heavy breathing. When she opened her bedroom door, she was confronted with my sweaty face, bouncing up and down in the living room. And no, I’m not a sexual exhibitionist. I was just really getting into 
It’s no secret that when HBO was originally presented with Mattew Weiner’s idea for a 1960s period drama called Mad Men, they decided to pass. This, despite Weiner’s involvement on The Sopranos, a show widely regarded as revitalizing the entire network (and perhaps television as we know it).
