We laughed, anyway. (Funny Or Die) Post from: Crushable  |
| Jersey Shore CLiff Notes 2x10: Vinny and Pauly D. Eat Some Nutella Posted: 01 Oct 2010 10:14 AM PDT
“So seriously,” asks the crew’s new Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (Vinny and Pauly D.) as they corner Mike’s Canadian smush-friend in the morning, “How was he? You can tell us, it’s just girl talk!” There has been some increasing giddiness coming from our Pauly this season: Now that he has a legitimately pretty and semi-coherent lady friend, he’s actually happy, and that’s something that doesn’t translate well on reality shows where the aim is high drama. So instead of the aloof dj who is second in command to The Situation, we have a girlish, almost anime caricature who wakes people up in the morning by singing, who gathers the rest of the house together for t-shirt time by singing, and who basically crows over the narrating arc of the storyline in song format. He is our Greek chorus, and in his desire to follow anyone but Sitch, Vinny has latched on to Pauly D. as his new master and commander. But this episode wasn’t really about Vinny, or any of the boys for that matter. It was the “Angelina Leaving Show,” which was abrupt the first time around, but for this season seemed drawn-out and repetitive. That girl works as her own grenade, with the inability to make herself look good at any moment in time. You just feel bad for anyone stupid enough to pity her, because she pities herself so much already. And her desire to self-destruct isn’t fascinating the way that say, Lindsay Lohan’s is: she’s too annoying and self-righteous. Who else would lay with their boyfriend in the Situation’s bed less than 24 hours after hitting him in the face? Although Mike’s been on good behaviour this season, you can see Angelina bringing out his worst dictorial tendancies. He’s taking control of the house again, taking on the fuhrer position to push Angelina and her dirty pads out of the house, and seems almost reasonable in his claim that “they hang people who disrespect leaders in other countries.” And then, as if she hadn’t done enough, Angelina waits till everyone gets home to dramatically announce her departure, because she wants to do it on “her terms.” Honey, no. If you really wanted to play the victim, you wait until the morning when everyone is hungover and slurry, say your once piece and GTFO. You don’t bide your time on the couch with your bag packed, and then fight a baby with T-rex arms (Snooki, in Ronnie’s amazingly apt description) as your final act of grievance. Though to a point, I will miss Angelina. She could have been so much better if she was a little smarter, a little more savvy. She could have used her “whore” reputation to expose the hypocricy of the guys’ mentality towards smushing in the house, if she hadn’t actually acted like a whore. Poor Jose. We hope that they bring him on to replace ole’ Trash Pads. Post from: Crushable Jersey Shore CLiff Notes 2x10: Vinny and Pauly D. Eat Some Nutella  |
| Video: Dude Proposes To His Girlfriend With An IPhone Ad Parody Posted: 01 Oct 2010 10:26 AM PDT This is really sweet! Some guy wrote a song about how he’s, like, totally addicted to his girlfriend, then created a mock iPhone commercial that ended with a proposal. He surprised his lady by getting his local movie theater to play the vid before the trailers – cute! (She said yes via a PC ad parody video. Match made in Heaven.)

| Crushable Quotable: Rod Stewart's TMI in the bedroom Posted: 01 Oct 2010 10:17 AM PDT
Lots of people (I’m guessing?) listen to Rod Stewart while getting it on, but when Parade asked him what he listens to in the bedroom, Rod couldn’t content himself with simply picking another artist. Instead he answered:
And… now I’ve got the image of Rod Stewart having problems “making love” seared into my brain. Because there’s nothing I love more than thinking about sexagenarians making babies on a Friday. Oh crap. Sexagenarians. Get me off this ride. Post from: Crushable Crushable Quotable: Rod Stewart's TMI in the bedroom  |

So if you (or someone you know) put off applying to an internship this semester, found you have a little bit of extra time in your schedule or just want to squeeze in a little more experience by working for an online media company, we might have the perfect opportunity for you. Or, at the very least, you can see how weird we all are in person. Crushable is looking for college students who are interested in entertainment, pop culture and style. Our interns get to report from red carpets, hit movie premieres, write about their favorite bands and TV shows (or pretty much anything they want) and help produce the content you see here every day. Experience with blogging, writing and/or reporting is preferred. We’re also looking for an intern who has experience with web video and video editing. Think you have what it takes? Send a cover letter and resume to Meghan Keane at meghan AT crushable dot com. Interns must be able to work out of our New York offices, but you can contribute to Crushable from anywhere, so you can send Meghan your stories and ideas, too. Our parent company, B5 media, is also looking for interns to start ASAP. B5 is the publisher of not just Crushable but our sister sites, The Gloss and Blisstree. Our New York offices include editorial teams for all three sites as well as sales, marketing and business development departments. There’s lots of work that goes into producing three sites beyond the writing, reporting and editing you see here everyday, and if you’re interested in things like social media, e-commerce and sales, there’s so much opportunity to learn firsthand and see how a web start-up works. We’re looking for interns to work specifically with the business development and marketing team, where you’ll work all day on Twitter and Facebook and selling products through our OpenSky platform. The time commitment is minimal: just one or two days a week, for 6 to 10 hours per week. Our internships are unpaid, but we can offer class credit. If you’re interested, or just want more information, contact Amanda Ernst at amanda at b5media dot com. To apply, send a cover letter explaining why you want to work here along with your resume.

| Crushable's Outsourced Review Of 'Outsourced' Posted: 01 Oct 2010 09:06 AM PDT
Animosity towards this show is still high. As Gabe at Videogum put it last week: "Dear Outsourced, Please Kill Yourself." @dearshakti agrees: Meanwhile, some Twitters don't seem to think the show is actually racist at all. Should we take them at their word, or are they racist?! Unclear. But. This person's Indian boss actually thinks it's hilarious: Maybe Outsourced is just My Big Fat Greek Wedding for Indians, and it’s ok to laugh as long as you’re from the subcontinent. Xenophobia aside, people actually seemed to like one gag on the show: the Indian "head bobble." Is India a country filled with indecisive people? I dunno. But the show says it is. And it got some laughs: But together with Shit My Dad Says, Outsourced is on everyone’s short list of shows to get the axe from the programming gods. After watching an episode of each, we'd agree. Though 12.58 million people tuned in for William Shatner's geriatric rantings last week, so what do we know? Again, we only watched enough of Outsourced this week to make the above bobblehead, but it's probably safe to say that Crushable agrees with @thealexbloom's assessment of the show:

| Poll: What Do You Think Of Lea Michele's Boob Flash In Fashion Mag? Posted: 01 Oct 2010 08:56 AM PDT Lea Michele is best known for two things: Playing the uptight, divalicious Rachel Berry on Fox’s Glee, and acting like an uptight, divaclicious biatch with boyfriend Theo Stockman IRL. So we were kind of shocked to see Lea baring her B-cups with barely some crepe paper between her and her viewing audience in the UK edition of Marie Claire. Yikes! It’s like last week when Rachel decided to go all Britney Spears, circa 2000. But is Lea’s distancing herself from her goody-goody two-shoes character really the best idea for her image? Sure, she looks more grown up, but is it trashy? Tell us what you think in our poll below, along with the full-sized picture. (Barely NSFW, but we wanted to let you know.)

What is Billy Bush bitching about these days? We just hopped over to the Access Hollywood host’s 
Last week we touched on the themes of the not-so-latent 
Rod Stewart may have introduced the phrase “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” into pop culture, but he really knows how to take the sexy out of a mostly innocuous question.
Is it a coincidence that The Social Network opened on 4Chan’s 7th birthday? Um, probably, but it’s still a pretty eventful day for the Internet. To celebrate the birth of the site that gave us memes like lolcats and Rickrolling we’ve put together a gallery of 4Chan’s greatest hits. Also, we 
By this point in the fall semester, most college students are already situated in their fall internships and probably have their weekly routine down. But Crushable — and our parent company, b5 media — is looking for some college students to help with writing, reporting and video, and these positions just can’t wait until the spring.
As far as we can tell, NBC’s new show Outsourced is pretty much an abomination. The premise, of a company call center that’s been outsourced to India, has more than a few shades of jingoism, if not outright racism. The first episode was pretty terrible, so we decided not to watch this week. In the spirit of Jeff Zucker’s programming team, we outsourced our review to Twitter this week. What did we learn? Outsourced — maybe still racist!
Alright! Those are the highlights from Twitter this week. If the show’s still around next week, we’re planning to outsource this responsibility to some writers in India. See you then!
