What's Going On With The Eva Longoria And Tony Parker Split? Posted: 17 Nov 2010 11:26 AM PST The latest issue of US Magazine hit stands today touting an exclusive story about Eva Longoria’s split from husband Tony Parker. Rumors of the separation broke yesterday, but Eva’s reps denied the story, saying the allegation was “100% false” and that “Tony did NOT file for divorce from Eva.” Then today the rumors were substantiated when Eva filed for a split herself. E! has the official document, which was submitted this morning in Los Angeles. So what’s going on here? Either Eva did actually decide spur of the moment to ditch her husband of three years, or the whole thing is a calculated attempt by Eva’s camp to spin the story in a way that makes their client seem like the in-control party. The US story alleges the split came after Eva discovered that Tony has been exchanging salacious text messages with a female acquaintance. Evidently he’s been sending the woman hundreds of SMS missives a month, much to the devastation of Eva who confronted Tony point-blank. According to an US source: “Once the trust was lost, the marriage was over.” Reports also claim Eva was “blindsided” by her husband’s action — and it seems the first place she turned was into the arms of her publicists who have kept the story under tight wraps ever since rumors of the separations first took flight. So what exactly is Eva doing here? It seems she is attempting to control the flow of information and release it on her own terms. But info is info no matter how it comes out, and milking a divorce for publicity isn’t the greatest way to appear in control.

Posted: 17 Nov 2010 11:06 AM PST Reality Shows Will Turn You Into A Murderer – Hey, there’s a good case to be made for this headline after Ryan Jenkins and last night’s arrest of Pimp My Ride producer Bruce Beresford-Redman for having a hand in his wife’s murder. And the guy who tried to kill his wife after watching Bristol Palin on Dancing with the Stars. (Double X) Post from: Crushable

Watch Prince William Age In Five Seconds Posted: 17 Nov 2010 11:11 AM PST Here at Crushable, we are just as excited about Prince William and Kate Middleton’s pending nuptials as the rest of the world. Who doesn’t love a good royal wedding? But Kate and William’s engagement has got us thinking about another subject that comes up every time we see new pictures of England’s crown prince: how much aging has changed his face over the last few years. William, who was once the spitting image of his mother Princess Di, looks completely different today than he did a decade ago. He doesn’t exactly look like his dad Prince Charles, but he just looks…different. To prove our point, we’ve created a time lapse image of Prince William over the last decade. It’s rather mesmerizing, I’d say. Over the next few seconds, watch as Princess William morphs from a beautiful blond mop head to, hmn. We’re not quite sure. A grownup? Aging is the worst. Let us know what you think in the comments. Post from: Crushable Watch Prince William Age In Five Seconds

The Daily WTF: Canned Unicorn Meat, And This Time It's Real! Posted: 17 Nov 2010 10:46 AM PST You guys may remember that back in June, a group called ThinkGeek pulled a prank on everyone with their Unicorn Spam, which did not look delicious at all but did get them in trouble with the National Pork Board. But now Canned Unicorn  has been repacked and sold on the Internet, and the Spam people are powerless to stop them! According to the (awesome) press release: The original release of Canned Unicorn Meat earned ThinkGeek a 12 page cease-and-desist letter from the National Pork Board.  After apologizing, ThinkGeek took the extraordinary step of redefining the formula to eliminate any confusion between "The Other White Meat" and a mythical meat product which happened to be mostly sparkles and magic. Each can of Canned Unicorn Meat contains six individual, plush pieces: a torso, four legs, and of course the head, complete with the magical horn still attached. The distinctive Radiant Farms logo will bring back fond memories of those bygone days of early 2010 when ThinkGeek announced the original formula and sparked a national debate on the status of mythical meat products. Unicorn meat, it's the perfect protein and it's what's for dinner!  Be warned… this meat is not approved by any government entity and is definitely not recommended for actual ingestion. We bet rich people will buy this, because it’s rare and they’re not big on ingesting food, anyway. But it’s only $11.99, so it won’t break the bank for us poor folks, either. It is also an excellent source of sparkles, according to the website. We’re in! Post from: Crushable The Daily WTF: Canned Unicorn Meat, And This Time It's Real!

Gallery: Best of 'Sassy' Magazine Covers Posted: 17 Nov 2010 11:08 AM PST So Jane Pratt, the editor of the late 80s/early 90s teen zine Sassy, may be launching a similar-themed magazine with tween fashion blogger Tavi Gevinson. That is the best news we’ve heard all year for the magazine world, because the sardonic writing and awesome spreads in Sassy were one of the biggest influencing factors for all of us here at Crushable. They were Jezebel, pre-Jezebel, but without as much politics. They were Nylon, but with funnier copy. They were, essentially, who we wanted to be. And oh yeah, they had the most amazing covers that amazingly stand the test of time. We dare you to tell us otherwise. Post from: Crushable Gallery: Best of 'Sassy' Magazine Covers

Posted: 17 Nov 2010 09:31 AM PST Willow Palin used homophobic slurs in a Facebook rant - She was trying to defend her mother’s show against an attacking teen. Nice choice of words, Willow. Great way to help Mom out! Also, she mixed up “your” and “you’re,” which may be the more egregious offense. (OMG) Post from: Crushable

Video Face Off: Bruce Springsteen vs. Will Smith Doing 'Whip My Hair' Posted: 17 Nov 2010 09:27 AM PST Last night on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, Bruce Springsteen stopped by the set. And if you’re going to have The Boss in studio, what else would you do besides dress your host up as Neil Young for a Whip My Hair duet? Willow Smith’s first single is so popular that everyone in the world will have covered it by Christmas. Including her dad. Someone has mashed up Will Smith dancing to Whip My Hair in a scene from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Both videos are pretty inspired. Check them out after the jump and let us know which one you like better. Granted, Will Smith isn’t actually dancing to his daughter Willow’s single “Whip My Hair” in this retro clip from his show The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, but it’s pretty apt (and inspired) dancing anyway: Maybe this is an unfair comparison, because Jimmy Fallon’s Neil Young impersonation is so amazing. But the second video just makes us miss Fresh Prince era Will Smith. Bring back goofy Will Smith somebody! What do you think? Let us know in the comments.

Video: Because 'Empire State of Mind' Didn't Have an Eco-Parody Yet... (Updated) Posted: 17 Nov 2010 10:59 AM PST For every good song that comes out every year, there are about thirty Internet parodies. And since Glee has already turned Jay-Z’s “Empire State of Mind” into a joke (and also the Star Wars parody, d’oi) why not use the hook of the song to promote a message about the toxicity of plastic? It’s not like we needed our dignity today anyway, you guys can have it. Welcome to “Plastic State of Mind,” y’all. (Now with an update with the writer/lyricist/director/bag boy/editor Ben Zolno!) Brought to you by Green Sangha, so you know…there’s that. I guess there’s an 8 Mile quality to this, where if you make fun of yourself first than no one else can do it? In which case, these guys just dropped the mic and walked off the stage. Good job! Crushable: Are you part of a comedy/green group or is this a one-off project? Ben Zolno: I’m this guy: www.newmessagemedia.com/who/ Also check out our Prop work http://newmessagemedia.com/social-media-organizing/ and satire http://newmessagemedia.com/satire/ As far as comedy background, I was an improv actor in the same scene as Andy Cobb. I still am in my own stuff, because I give myself really low rates. Heard you were on Letterman last night and have a book out, what are you promoting Uh, what? (Later on) Clearly we are not making fun ourselves; we are super fancy pancy high-brow artists who fully expect to win an Oscar for this, and are pissed that Letterman hasn’t aired our three-hour exclusive interview with him yet; we’re going straight to Conan. Why do you think parody is the best way to get the message through? As a documentary filmmaker who makes films that matter, I know better than anyone that the vast majority of Americans do not watch documentary films that matter. So, how do we pull someone in to get our message across? Wrong question. The key is to go to them, where they’re waiting for you. Where are they? Right question. Most are sitting squeezed into their cubicle cage at their dead-end job, desperate to procrastinate their job duties, or they’re sitting sprawled on their couch, wishing they had that work, yet desperate to procrastinate their job search. They’re on Facebook and Youtube, grazing, looking for something seemingly silly to distract them. When you offer them something silly, and can slip your message in there, that’s when you got ‘em.
