• Chris Evans is so hot in the Gucci Guilty ads. (Betty Confidential) • Jake Gyllenhaal doesn’t use a modesty sock for his sex scenes. Not that we thought he would. (Dirty Laundry) • Here are some words that ladies don’t like: yeast, crusty, moist. (CollegeCandy) • Sex in space: Not as easy (or fun) as it sounds. (The Gloss) • Wait, what are “sex tourism” laws? We should probably know that before going overseas to pick out our next live-in Thai boy. (LA Times) • Was Black Swan too unrealistic with its portrayal of eating disorders and psychosis?

Here’s what you need to know about Weston — in case you do ever walk down that alley.

| Video: Kids Trololo On Christmas Posted: 21 Dec 2010 10:28 AM PST Hey, you guys remember the Trololo guy, right? That was a big deal back in, what? March? June? Christoph Waltz made fun of him right after the Oscars, so that dude might even be a year old now, in Internet meme fame. ANYWHOOZLES: here’s a bunch of kids singing the Trololo song in a bid for relevance and a shot at that sweet, PS22 fame. Here are my questions: Post from: Crushable Video: Kids Trololo On Christmas  |
| Textual Healing: You Can't Judge A Relationship On Texts Alone Posted: 21 Dec 2010 10:19 AM PST
We’ve all known those serial texters — guys who seem really funny and cute over digital forms of communication, but fail to measure up where it counts: in real life. And that’s something to keep in mind. Texting is a skill, not an accurate representation of someone’s real interpersonal abilities. Sometimes we forget that a guy’s attitude toward us over text might be completely different from the way he feels, and acts, when he’s around us IRL. Crushable commenter Katie has been there. “I was in a ’serious’ text-lationship for half a year with a guy,” she revealed. “Shocking, I know. However, it was kept up because every three to five weeks we would run into each other. [We] never said too much and never hung out too long. It was like there were two different people, the first was a guy I could tell all my secrets to, laugh with and go to if I had problems and the second was well…just an awkward barely-even-friends-with guy. You can guess which one was the text-lationship and which one wasn't. I trusted him through texts only, he was fun through texts only, and that was enough to keep me interested for half a year.” “Texts only” seems to be a theme in my experiences as well. Whether initial text messages turn into an unrequited “text-lationship” (discussed in more depth here) or result in a couple of hook-ups or dates, I often find myself wondering how someone so interesting, engaging and sweet in our digital interactions could fall so flat in person. This points to both a positive and a negative of texting: there’s more time to edit and think. Even during a quick interchange, where you and your guy are furiously texting back and forth, he still has a few seconds to think about how he wants to respond to you, whether he wants to be funny, flirty or supportive. Many guys, and let’s face it, people in general, aren’t that quick on their feet, especially when they’re face to face with someone they’re trying to impress. It’s easy to hide nerves and general awkwardness by text, and while you can click digitally, you might not find the same chemistry face to face. Men who fall flat in person likely had these same issues back when most communication was done with letters and, more recently, phone calls, before the proliferation of text messaging. There are obvious challenges to translating a text-based exchange into a good face to face encounter. (It works the other way around, too, hence everyone’s trepidation with entering into a long distance relationship.) So what can you do when you realize that the guy you’re crushing on might be better over text messages than in person? First, you have to define the problem. For example, “We text at least once a day, but I haven’t spent more than an hour with him face to face.” Or, “I haven’t seen his face since the first time we met, yet we’ve been texting for weeks.” Or even, “Every time I suggest we meet in person he says he’s busy.” After you’ve decided what’s going on at the heart of your relationship, try to remedy the problem. Suggest meeting for a date, or spending less time texting and more time hanging out. Or try calling him on the phone. If he’s open to your suggestions, you’ll get to spend some different kind of time with him, and you can finally see how you feel about him one on one. Maybe, like Katie, you’ll learn that you two don’t really work in person. Hey, that’s okay, too. “Thank goodness it dawned on me that spending an hour a month with someone is far from a friendship and even farther from a relationship,” Katie eventually concluded. “The age of technology is a difficult time to live in.” Have you ever had a relationship with a guy who was better in text messages than in person? How did the situation get resolved? How did you approach it with him? Leave your experiences in the comments below and you might see it featured in an upcoming installment of Textual Healing.

| Torrential Rain In Los Angeles Means Wet Celebs Posted: 21 Dec 2010 10:14 AM PST Oh, Los Angeles. The second there’s any tiny amount of weather at all the whole city shuts right down. Granted this week’s record-breaking rainfall does qualify as more than slight weather, but it’s still funny to see folks running from the downpour as if they’re confused about what water is doing falling from the sky. (Not that we, native to L.A., are immune to this — we flew home for the holidays over the weekend and haven’t left the house once.) We have learned something out of this whole storm thing: neither Joe Jonas, Heidi Klum nor Jennifer Love Hewitt melt when they get wet.

| Lindsay Lohan In Rehab: No News Is Too Low For Our Care-O-Meter Posted: 21 Dec 2010 09:48 AM PST
But somehow over the course of the last several weeks, the unthinkable has occurred: Lindsay’s life has continued to be broadcast 24/7, and we stopped paying attention. Here’s the latest LiLo news that you may have missed because you had your own life to live. And here’s how much you should care, accordingly. Care-O-Meter: 5 If only because we were sure the judge was going to give her jail time after she ran over a kid’s stroller and failed yet another drug test right after being let out of her last facility. Come on: what does Care-O-Meter: 2 If she really wants to play Deepthroat, we’re sure she’ll release a sex tape. Lindsay Wants A Restraining Order Against The Paparazzi Care-O-Meter: 4 Only because at first we sort of agreed with her (the paparazzi suck, and they are constantly putting their feet under your car so you’ll run them over and they can sue you), but then she got a little crazier and started saying that one particular paparrazo was stalking her. Lindsay, that’s what they do. Care-O-Meter: 0 Call us when it goes off the charts again. Lindsay Lohan Parties At Betty Ford, Gets Into Fight With Female Staffer Care-O-Meter: 10 There’s our girl!

| Video: A Grandma Reads 50 Cent's Tweets Posted: 21 Dec 2010 09:04 AM PST Granny! You’re not allowed to say those words! The pop culture Grandma is back with a very special message of holiday cheer and holiday misogyny. God, old people are hilarious! We’re going to try to get out own grandmother to do this same thing on Christmas morning. Wish us luck? Post from: Crushable Video: A Grandma Reads 50 Cent's Tweets  |

| Video Gallery: Best Holiday Hookup Scenes Posted: 21 Dec 2010 10:28 AM PST Between the Mistletoe on Christmas and the countdown to midnight on New Years Eve, nothing says “I’m about to get herpes from a stranger” like the impromptu (if slightly cliche) holiday hook-up. Here’s our favorite scenes from television and film…tell us if we’re missing any! Hear me out: Yes, Zach Braff and Sarah Chalke are equally annoying, but this scene, with the built-up tension that this 2.0 Ross and Rachel combo cultivated during entire seasons of the show, made awkward makeouts look like the sexiest thing since Elizabeth Taylor told Paul Newman he smelled good in Cat On A Hot Tin Roof. When Harry Met Sally The ultimate romantic New Years Eve smooch, this one just happened to follow Meg Ryan’s diatribe about how much she really really hates Billy Crystal. Hey, we’ve all been there, right? Robin and Ted On How I Met Your Mother The first season of How I Met Your Mother, back when we still cared about who the hell these kids’ mother(s) were, culminated in the New Years Eve 2006 kiss between the two least likable characters on the show. Still: hooray for love! Post from: Crushable Video Gallery: Best Holiday Hookup Scenes  |
• More royal news: Zara Philips, cousin of Prince William, has also gotten engaged to her boyfriend. Too bad being cousin’s with a prince just makes you a lame duchess or something. (
Text messaging is often the fastest way to communicate with friends and acquaintances, but it's not always the best one. Especially when it comes to texting with guys. Here at Crushable we aim to help you sift through all the subtext and emerge relatively unscathed – with a little help from our friend Amanda Ernst.
If you were to tell me this time last year that 365 days in the future I wouldn’t be able to tell you if Lindsay Lohan was still in rehab or not, if she was stalking the paparazzi or the other way around, or even if her tox screens were coming up positive anymore, and I would have laughed at you right out of the girl’s bathroom.| You are subscribed to email updates from Crushable To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
