Celeb Roundup: What Would Jesus Tweet?

Posted: 01 Oct 2010 04:19 PM PDT

WWJD? According to Rob Kardashian (@RobKardashian) he’d read Twitter. (With a secret account, of course.) This means Jesus is currently chuckling away at the tweets of John Cho (@JohnTheCho) CariDee English (@CariDeeEnglish) and Adrianne Curry (@AdrianneCurry).

Rob, we bet Jesus appreciates this tweet:

John, what kinds of grocery stores do you shop in?

CariDee, are you talking about Twitter?

Adrianne doesn’t understand biology:

The Daily WTF: Children Of the Corn-Colored Ponchos

Posted: 01 Oct 2010 02:35 PM PDT


Achim Lippoth photographed this series for Kids Wear Magazine. Like, “stuff you’d put on your children.” Seriously, I know these pictures are very “arty” and “beautiful” but I don’t want any of these little pale creatures near me or my loved ones. Then again, maybe it’d be a good way to convince kids to behave. “Stop asking for those Miley Cyrus jeans or the evil sweater fairies will eat you!”

Crushable Commenter Of The Week: CurlySarah's Okay With Giving 'Bachelor' Brad Another Chance

Posted: 01 Oct 2010 01:29 PM PDT

We agree with CurlySarah’s comment on our post about Brad Womack’s second stint on The Bachelor. Sarah can’t fault the guy for failing to marry a woman he wasn’t really in love with:

All right, Sarah. Point taken. He’d just better not do it again!

Alexander Skarsgard Brings 'True Blood' To Germany

Posted: 01 Oct 2010 12:57 PM PDT

Kate Bosworth might have dumped Alexander Skarsgard this summer, but it looks like a little breakup isn’t going to keep our  favorite True Blood vampire from enjoying himself on his current promotional tour for True Blood.

We here at Crushable wouldn’t feel right sending you off into the weekend without a happy image of Skarsgard, seen here with some lovely frauleins at the Hotel Bayerischer Hof Munich.

Video: Blue Wireless Commercial Really Targeting 'Sister Wives' Constituents

Posted: 01 Oct 2010 12:43 PM PDT

Ad guy 1: Okay, here’s the pitch. You know how people like shows about men with multiple wives, like Big Love?
Ad guy 2: Yes.
Ad guy 1: So that means our audience are mostly people who either are, or want to be, the patriarch in an illegal (except for Utah) marriage arrangement.
Ad guy 2: Uh.
Ad guy 1: I have just the thing.

Good job, team.

Notes On 'My Generation' By A Bottle Of K-Y Jelly

Posted: 01 Oct 2010 12:44 PM PDT

Hi, I'm a bottle of K-Y Jelly, and I sponsored yesterday’s episode of My Generation on Hulu. Since I'm an expert on female arousal and lubrication, I thought I'd offer some notes on how this show could be a bit more fluid and exciting.

In this ep, we learned all about how everyone has terrible parents. Dawn the punk's mom abandoned her kids to live in a psych ward, Steven the overachiever's dad was too mean about little league and now he's in jail (causality questionable), the only thing Brenda the brain's mom wants before she dies is to see her daughter get married, and Anders the rich kid's father named his son Anders. We also got to see Steven bond with his own child, Tom, by lovingly replacing the foot of a Transformers toy the kid had a double of anyway. (I got all tingly inside, but that is kind of my thing.)

This show? It’s kind of boring. And trying so hard to be “real” it totally forgets that sometimes you need to throw in something artificial to get things going. I’ve taken the liberty of writing up these tips for the My Generation producers (with myself, on a towel, and now I’m empty).

• People like subtext
Subtext: apply liberally and as often as needed. If your subtext starts to dry out halfway through, apply more subtext. For example, there is probably a more clever way to drive home the point that Dawn's mom sucks than having her say "I don't like my mother." Or that Anders is a haughty rich kid than naming him frigging Anders.

• People like good acting
Good acting is crucial to the arousal process! So drop the weird documentary thing, please? It doesn't feel realistic, it feels stilted and dull and not at all like the warming sensation of a good performance. And anyway, real life is boring! That is why we watch TV.

• People like boobs
I hear people like breasts. (The sound of people liking breasts doesn't have to travel far to reach me on the nightstand.) I know it's network TV, but it's a tease to have the hot pregnant girl take off her shirt only to blur out her whole torso. Might I suggest at least some partial nudity?

• People Like Michael Emerson
Kenneth the nerd? He looks absolutely exactly like a young Michael Emerson. So how about we get Michael to appear as Kenneth's dad. The two of them onscreen at once? If that happens you won't ever need me again.

Sex on the Wire: Sorry For the Gonorrhea, Guatemala

Posted: 01 Oct 2010 12:01 PM PDT

• Lets all tune in today as Hillary Clinton apologizes to Guatemala on behalf of America for giving the entire country STDs in the 60s. It was just a different time, man! (Nerve)

• Oh good, another “sexy” Russian cyber-spy. Can we just move all the future James Bond movies onto the Internet?? (Gawker)

• Why should you date a white guy? Well here, let this entire new blog devoted to the subject fill you in! (The Gloss)

• Today is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Crushable has teamed up with Ralph Lauren’s Pink Pony in order to promote the worthwhile cause. (Styleite)

• Oh good, that’s what we needed: More naked Na’vi’s. Thanks Hustler! Nobody thought of that great idea yet (except all of the Internet, 10 months ago). (Fleshbot)

• Eliot Spitzer’s new CNN show isn’t going to cover sex scandals. Weird! (The Wrap)

• Madonna’s new Dolce and Gabonna ad makes us feel funny inside, like when grandma tries to be sexy. (College Candy)
