Gallery: The Many Terrifying Faces Of David Hasselhoff

Posted: 20 Dec 2010 11:29 AM PST

David Hasselhoff, if you weren’t aware, is a pretty scary dude. He’s terrifying like a David Lynch character: the wider his smile, the more you want to avert your eyes from the hideous grin of death. Still, it’s hard to find fault with a guy who is obviously trying so hard to HAVE A GOOD TIME! Here he is mugging for himself in the mirror on the set of a T-Mobile ad.

  • What's this son of gun doing here?
  • Hey there handsome!
  • Who is the man?
  • Just two bunnies!
  • Eeeey!
  • Even his water tastes like sadness

The 6 Worst Celebrity Geography Goofs

Posted: 20 Dec 2010 10:22 AM PST

Over the weekend, Taylor Momsen was forced to apologize after she told the Scottish crowd at her concert that “Glasgow is the craziest crowd in all of England.” Oops! Taylor’s mix-up is admittedly pretty funny, but at least the teen star had some sense what part of the world she was in. In terms of the history of celeb geography screw-ups, Taylor’s error hardly even ranks. Here are some of the most irredeemable mistakes to ever appear on the celebrity world map.

1. Britney Spears doesn’t know where anything is! Here are two choice quotes from Brit: “I’ve never really wanted to go to Japan simply because I don’t like eating fish and I know that’s very popular out there in Africa,” and “I get to go to lots of overseas places, like Canada.”

2. Sarah Palin can see Russia from her house! That is why she’s a foreign policy expert! That one’s going to haunt her for eternity.

3. Miss South Carolina, Catlin Upton was asked to explain why Americans are bad at pinpointing stuff on maps. She gave an insane, rambling answer about how Americans can’t afford maps that included the quote: “I believe that they should, uh, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, should help South Africa and should help Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future.”

4. Dan Quayle found himself confused about the location of America: “We have a firm commitment to NATO, we are a part of NATO. We have a firm commitment to Europe. We are a part of Europe.”

5. Kellie Pickler is not smarter than a 5th grader. On an ep of the Jeff Foxworthy-hosted game show, she was asked to named the European country of which Budapest is the capital. Some choice pieces of her response: “I thought Europe was a country… Is France a country… Hungary? That’s a country? I’ve heard of Turkey, but Hungary, never heard of it.”

6. Nick Lachey tries to defend Kelly Ripa’s admittedly poor sense of geography. On her show, Kelly explains that she and her husband have a hard time pinning capitals on the family map.

Kelly: “London is not in Cairo!”
Nick: ”It’s in the same part of the world, kind of.”
Kelly: “Not even!”
Nick: “Well, that’s true too.”

Readers Weight In: Chevy Chase Rules

Posted: 20 Dec 2010 09:39 AM PST

So, we’re all adults here, and we can admit when we’ve been wrong. Apparently, y’all love former Chevy Chase Show host, Chevy Chase.

When we mocked the former SNL cast-member for being kind of a douche (albeit a douche we’re starting to enjoy on the second season of Community), you raised a cry. 50 percent of you still stand strong on Team Chevy, saying that he’s always been awesome. Really guys? Can we once again refer you to Nothing But Trouble? Only 17 percent of you found him still annoying, while the rest said he was slowly but surely warming the cuck

Poll: Is Public Crying More Acceptable For Dudes?

Posted: 20 Dec 2010 11:18 AM PST

Last week, politician John Boehner was interviewed on 60 Minutes and kind of cried like a little baby during his interview. But it was ok, because he was talking about important politicking things and that made him looked compassionate and caring.

And according to Sarah Palin, that interview proved that crying is more acceptable for male politicians than female ones. We think she’s actually got a point on that one. But that’s only because in real life, it’s much more acceptable for women to cry than men. What do you think?

Here’s the thing, male politicians from Bill Clinton to George Bush have shed a few distinguished tears when dealing with difficult travails. And it adds a certain gravitas to the moment. But for female politicians, crying can come off as a weakness. Here’s what Palin says:

“That’s one of those things where a double standard certainly is applied. I’m sure if I got up there and did a speech and I started breaking down and cried about how important it is to me that our children and our grandchildren are provided great opportunities, I’m sure that I would be knocked a little bit for that.”

But in real life, the standard is switched. Sure, there are times when it’s ok for men to cry, ie: funerals and during musicals Les Miserables let’s say. But most of the time, men are expected to keep it together. Here at Crushable, Drew and I were just reminiscing about times when male authority figures in our lives have cried (principles and teachers mostly). And you know what? It was creepy.

Meanwhile, I used to be totally paranoid about crying. I thought it made me weak and silly and tried to avoid it at all costs. But because I used to hold in my tears at reasonable times, I’d cry when it was totally inappropriate. In high school, it got embarrassing:

“What?! I got a 79 on that quiz?”

or:

“What do you mean you’re out of scallion cream cheese bagel lady?!!!”

And then one day, I realized that I’m female and it’s totally acceptable to cry when things are bad (or really good. I’ll cry then too). So I decided to start crying when I felt like it. And that actually made me much more sane about when I shed tears. But maybe that’s just me. What do you think? Is it more acceptable for women or men to cry in public?

Google “Jessica Alba Sex,” “Blake Lively Sex,” or “Akon Sex.” First result?
Saturday Night Live’s digital short from this week, “I Just Had Sex.”

In what is definitely not a coincidence, Lonely Island (composed of Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone) are coming out with a new album.

Posted: 20 Dec 2010 08:46 AM PST

Oh shit, it’s Christmas in five days! And you’re rushing home with a hastily packed bag of clothes, wondering how the heck you’re going to do all your Xmas shopping between now and Friday. Don’t fear! Crushable has got you covered . Over the next few days we’ll be putting out a series of last minute gift guides for all stages of gift-less desperation. First up: the airport.

Cologne: A quick and easy way to bring home a super-nice gift. And it’s duty free to boot!

Good for: Your boyfriend. He’ll feel like a big shot and you can stop pretending you like the smell of Axe.

Calculators, stationary, notebooks, etc.: Cute office supplies are an airport staple (no pun intended).

Good for: The nerds in your life. Aka, your super-organized best friend, engineering major brother, or little cousin going through her poetry stage.

Books: Books. We don’t need to explain the concept of books, do we?

Good for: Mom, Dad, cousin, Santa Claus…. Everyone! But be warned, anyone you buy that Tucker Max book for will instantly hate you for life.

Electronics: Video games, headphones, cell phone accessories.

Good for: Your Secret Santa — there’s something at every price range.

Crushable Quotable: Gwyneth Paltrow's Cookbook Is Creepy

Posted: 20 Dec 2010 08:49 AM PST

My boyfriend has a really weird moan that he does whenever he eats something good or takes a shower. It really skeeves me out, and if he does it in public, other people have a tendency to mock him. This is why if my children ever write a cookbook – the way Blythe Danner’s over-achieving daughter Gwyneth Paltrow is currently doing – I will make sure to have them include their father’s weird noises as part of a delicious recipe!

From My Father’s Daughter:
“I can still hear [my father] over my shoulder, heckling me, telling me to be careful with my knife, moaning with pleasure over a bite of something in the way only a Jew from Long Island can, his shoulders doing most of the talking.”

Questionable Choices: The Situation Does Air Splits For GQ

Posted: 20 Dec 2010 08:47 AM PST

Mike The Situation Sorrentino is obviously ripped. And the “Situation” of his abs may be the majority of the reason he’s become such a famous personality. But we’re at a loss when it comes to this shot of Mike doing air splits for December’s GQ Men Of The Year spread. (And we mean spread literally, as you can see.) What do you think: Is this image of The Sitch flattering or terrifying?

Sitch tweeted this photo over the weekend. And obviously he looks totally ripped. And since that ab Situation is his money maker, that’s smart. But also, we’re pretty terrified of that image. Did he pull something doing that move? Does he have a troubled Situation in his crotch after doing that?Also, where were these skills when he was sucking on Dancing With The Stars last season?
