| Video: Guy Proposes Via Custom Muppets Posted: 16 Dec 2010 11:31 AM PST Aw, another sweet secret video proposal story. This one was made by Sid Caeser, who proposed to his girlfriend Sara with a vid made with customized Muppets that resemble the couple. (Sara’s Muppet is blue — is our Romeo perhaps colorblind?) Sid has the whole story on his blog, and it’s charming from start to finish. Aw indeed. (BTW, his name is Sid Caeser? We’re pretty sure that one’s already taken.)

• Lady Gaga’s Meat Dress was voted Fashion Statement of the Year in Time Magazine. And let the PETA outrage begin in 5…4… (MTV) • Kim Kardashian’s sad New Year’s Resolution: stay single all during 30. (The Frisky) • A Hooters in Japan? Resisting attempts at making size-related jokes… (The Gloss) • More fun with making male junk on ice. This time, it wasn’t a penis sculpture, but a giant “snow dick” drawn right next to the Eiffel Tower. (Lemondrop) • Emma Stone is either really asthmatic or really dedicated to her craft: a recent sex scene for her new film Will Gluck required an oxygen mask after filming. (MovieFone) • Facebook is getting creepier with “Facial Recognition” photo tag abilities. Can we all agree that Mark Zuckerberg has created SkyNet now?

In case your winter break has turned into a winter broken, we’ve compiled a list of the most common items ruined by the cold. Are we missing any? Let us know! Post from: Crushable  |
| Exclusive: Behind The Scenes Of MTV's Drunken 'Challenge: Cutthroat' Reunion Posted: 16 Dec 2010 10:21 AM PST
Before the taping started, the cast was in the back room, watching the last episode for the first time and getting wasted. They all came out, all dressed up, with hair and makeup done- including Camila. However, Camila didn’t go on stage with the rest of the cast, and instead hung out in the back with Derrick’s wife. I figured they would bring Camilla out separately, for some specific segment. But that’s not what happened. At one point in the taping, towards the end, while the cast was getting readjusted and makeup retouched, my friend daringly asked Emily why Camilla wasn’t on stage with the rest of them. Emily said, diplomatically, “Oh, Camilla wasn’t invited to be on the reunion show, but she came to hang out with us, anyway.” Rough. Camilla stood – behind the audience- for the entire taping (over six hours!) in heels and a dress.
Paula kept repeating how she has never yet won a challenge and how she’s a failure, etc. The one person who seemed to have her back was Tyler (residual Key West loyalty?). A few of the castmates only got a sentence or two in edgewise during the entire taping, such as Jenn and Dunbar. However, drunkenly deluded Paula challenged Dunbar several times, saying, “Did you get paid yet? Did you get the money? Did you get the check in the mail?!” It was unclear whether Paula was talking about money from being on the Challenge or money from his porno, but either way, no one seemed to know what she was talking about, and Dunbar just shrugged it off.
While the whole Big Easy/Laurel ordeal was happening, Tyler kept trying to bring the attention back to him. His claims went something like, “I’m sorry Big Easy, but at least no one called you a fag! Do you know how many times in my life I’ve been called a fag? And then I came back here, stronger and bigger than everyone here. I know everyone’s going to roll their eyes, but, like, I just feel like that those ‘It Gets Better’ videos help gay teens and I feel like, so do I, because I showed a gay guy can actually be strong…” etc. To which, everyone kept shouting, “Tyler, pipe down, this isn’t about you!” To which he shouted, “I’m insecure, okay?!”
The veteran cast members kept repeating how fucked up the show has gotten. A few recalled a time when they had access to computers, phones, etc., and how much better the Challenge was in the past. Derrick claimed that he was not allowed to contact his wife for months at a time. Tori claimed they were forced to go out, when all they wanted to do was rest, which is why they would go out looking like crap. All of them blamed the producers for how “horribly” they were treated, something that will definitely not be aired and will definitely not bode well for them for future Challenges.
All in all, it was a fun, if tiring, day. The world of D-list celebrities is always an interesting one to take a peek into, and it’s interesting to see what actually made it to air.

| Point: Xmas Hometown Hookups Are The Best Posted: 16 Dec 2010 10:44 AM PST In the 12 days leading up to December 25th, we're rolling out a series of "Oh Shit It's Christmas" features. The holidays are upon us, and that means all the old stresses that come with being back at home will rear their ugly heads. And what of the local-boy factor? Should you escape the madness of family and take solace in a hometown hookup? I say, yes, go for it! Maybe this hookup comes in the form of an ex or an old crush. Or maybe it’s your best friend’s little brother who somehow got, like, a thousand times more attractive since high school (ladies and gentlemen, Proactiv). Just as long as he doesn’t disclose any exploits on your Facebook wall, you’ve got nothing to lose. The great thing about Xmas hookups is that there’s no pressure — you can have your fun one night and get on a plane the next morning without having to deal with a “where is this going?” conversations. And hey — best case scenario, your hookup can get a repeat performance the next time you’re in town. I totally made out with with the hot guy from high school (sloppily, in a bar, a night without any class whatsoever), and it was awesome! In that moment, I felt completely absolved of any lingering teenage insecurities. Plus, it made a hilarious story for the select few HS buddies I chose to tell it to. Another checkmark in the hometown hookup plus column is the familiarity factor. Instead of making awkward small-talk over an overpriced dinner, you and your old pal can grab a a six-pack and jump right into reminiscing. And everyone knows that memory lane is a total aphrodisiac. Local romance this holiday season? Ho ho go for it. Tomorrow we’ll present the counterpoint to this argument. Have a hometown hookup story of your own? Let us know in the comments.

| Did 'Real Housewives' star Kandi Burruss Get Butt Implants? Posted: 16 Dec 2010 09:41 AM PST Did Kandi Burruss get butt implants? The Real Housewives of Atlanta star is on tour promoting her new album and Media Takeout has a photo of her butt looking like it’s got some less than natural hydrolic lifts helping it stay up. That image is almost too ridiculous to believe. Next to Kim Zolciak’s wigs and NeNe Leakes’ obvious but long denied plastic surgery, Kandi often looks like a sea of calm. But that image is concerning. Here’s hoping that Kandi’s help in the butt region here is due to some screen stretching. At the least, it better not be permanent. For reference, this is what Kandi’s butt used to look like: Post from: Crushable Did 'Real Housewives' star Kandi Burruss Get Butt Implants?  |
| Video: Sufjan Steven's Christmas Song 'Put Them On The Tree' Posted: 16 Dec 2010 09:33 AM PST We never really thought of Sufjan Stevens as a traditional holidays sort of guy. It’s almost a step backward to go from making a symphony about the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway to creating a Peanuts-inspired video where happy little kids sing about putting Christmas ornaments on your fir. Then again, The BQE experiment didn’t fare very well, and much weirder performance artists have settled into commercial conformity once they realize how much they’ll make in royalties when they’re music is piping in for Christmas shoppers at Best Buy. So “Put Them On The Tree” it is! Adorable trumps experimental every time, folks. Post from: Crushable Video: Sufjan Steven's Christmas Song 'Put Them On The Tree'  |

• Prosecutors will not try the Notre Dame student 
Winter may be a wonderland (like your body!), but it’s also the most expensive season of the year. Not only do you have to buy presents, but cremes for your itchy skin, a new hard-drive after your computer literally freezes up, and about a thousand other little “fix-its” for stuff broken by the cold.
A few weeks ago, I was able to go the taping of the Real World/Road Rules Cutthroat Challenge Reunion, which wrapped up this season’s edition of The Challenge. The reunion lasted over six hours (and trust me, it felt twice as long), but it was whittled down to one hour of actual footage last night. There was plenty that didn’t make it into the show – including one cast member and lots of bitching about MTV – so I’ll just give you all the gory details.
While mostly everyone (if not everyone) imbibed before the taping, the most noticeable drunk was Paula. She was wasted. Not even in a fun, celebratory way. Other audience members speculated that she had taken a Percocet, as she looked like she was about to throw up more than a few times throughout the taping. I wish, I wish, I wish I had a picture to show you all. Hopefully the cameras caught her facial expressions. She alternated between closing her eyes and shaking her head, rolling her tongue and sticking it out, and lolling her tongue around. Besides looking like she was on the verge of puking, it also looked at some points as though Paula was about to nod off. Even her castmates were making comments about how fucked up she was. She cried many times, and was invariably on the verge of tears every time she spoke. At one point, Paula said of castmate, Tori (who is married to fellow castmate Brad) “Well, Tori’s sucking Brad’s dick…” while describing how it was difficult to have a married couple on the challenge.
At one point, Reunion host Maria Menounos confronted Laurel about how she verbally attacked Eric/Big Easy and taunted him for being overweight. Maria truly seemed offended by Laurel’s bullying. Laurel, staying frustratingly calm and unempathetic, just answered that she “made peace” with what happened, and had tried to contact him to apologize to him, to no avail, and was sorry about it but wanted to move on. As Laurel was answering Maria’s question, a couple of the cast members were nudging one another to look at the teleprompter. Luckily, I was able to read it, and saw that Maria was about to announce Big Easy’s arrival. None of the other castmates knew he was there, or that he had even been invited to the reunion. When Maria called him out, Laurel’s face dropped in shock and she turned pale. Big Easy came out greeting everyone, except Laurel. He then denied Laurel’s claims that she tried to contact him, and pointed out the obvious fact that everyone in the cast had his phone number and all she had to do was ask someone for it, and said she only wants to apologize now because she realizes it makes her look bad. I don’t know if Laurel was faking, but she started crying; however, she still maintained that calm, cool, bitchy demeanor even while apologizing.
Also during the Big Easy/Laurel ordeal, at one point, Abram got so upset that he walked off. Everyone was shouting, and ordering Big Easy to accept Laurel’s apology, and ordering Laurel to show more compassion, and even the audience was sighing and wishing aloud that the whole thing would end. This debacle took upwards of 45 minutes, so I don’t know how it will be edited to possibly show everything. Abram finally said how disgusted he was to be a part of the show and walked off, but returned a little while later, to snuggle with Cara Maria.
Towards the end, the cast mates and the audience were restless and exhausted. The producers told Maria that they would have to take a few outtakes of her saying things like, “That was awkward. More on that when we return.” The castmates grumbled and groaned, especially Johnny Bananas, who kept moaning, “My baaaaack. I need a chiropractor.” (To be fair, the audience members got to sit in actual chairs, while the castmates had to balance on benches.) Maria seemed to be the only mature one, reminding them that they were almost done taping, and that she was nailing the outtakes on the first try. We audience members couldn’t help rolling our eyes at the castmates, who were getting paid to be there, while we had shown up for free and were still stuck there.
In our humble opinion, there is no better winter accessory than
