Crushable Quotable: Mila Kunis Tells Hollywood To Just Calm Down

Posted: 15 Jan 2011 10:13 AM PST

Our crush on Mila Kunis continues. Last night at the Critic’s Choice Awards, Mila dressed up for the awards show, walked the red carpet, chatted (again) about her weightloss for Black Swan, and also reminded everybody to just take a deep breath:

“They’re just awards. It’s not the end of the world. People need to relax.”

Which just makes us like her even more. How does she stay so normal in the sea of Hollywood automatons? Ok. We’ll stop now.

Daily WTF: Justin Bieber's Fake Mustache At The Critics' Choice Awards

Posted: 15 Jan 2011 09:56 AM PST

Uhoh. If there is a rehab for excessive fake mustache wearing, Justin Bieber is teetering dangerously near the edge of getting involuntarily submitted. Last night at the Critic’s Choice awards, the Biebs hung out on the red carpet, interviewing celebrities. Wearing glasses and a fake mustache.

It doesn’t look like the disguise was too convincing, especially considering that his trademark bob was still intact. But everyone on the carpet seemed to like it, and the Biebs pulled out some trademark dance moves whenever things started to get boring. That’s more than most red carpet interviewers swing.

Commenter Of The Week: The Lesbian Argument For Oral Being 'The Real Deal'

Posted: 14 Jan 2011 03:14 PM PST

This week, our intrepid sex columnist Halle Kiefer took on the difficult terrain of defining sex acts. According to Halle, blowjobs count as sex, and she’s tired of everyone pretending otherwise. There were more than a few commenters who disagreed with her.

According to psychokittyd:

“just because someone doesn't wanna consider every sexual thing they did as sex doesn't mean they're trying to hide anything, it just means they have a certain definition for sex.”

But we kind of like electrasteph’s lesbian argument for counting oral as “real sex”:

“I hope oral sex counts, because the lack of any penis in my romantic relationship with my wife would mean that I'm still a virgin. And I haven't logged all those hours diving for nothing, people. I'm just sayin'”

Touche, electrasteph. To each his (or her) own it appears to be on this one.

Brooklyn College: We Can't Force Anyone Into A Mental Hospital

Posted: 14 Jan 2011 02:58 PM PST

Former Brooklyn College student Chinemerem Eze has gotten a lot of press this week after filing a lawsuit that claimed the school institutionalized her against her will for complaining about her landlord. Everyone in New York can empathize with Chinemerem’s terrible landlord story, but we spoke to a Brooklyn College spokesperson, and it sounds like she might be suing the wrong institution.

Chimererem claims that she went to her school to complain about her landlord installing cameras in her apartment and ended up in King’s County Psychiatric Hospital. Earlier, Brooklyn College spokesperson Jeremy Thompson told us that it was EMS that brought Chinemerem to King’s.

But he also explained that Brooklyn College officials couldn’t have sent Chimererem to the hospital:

“We don’t force anyone to take medical withdrawal.”

A medical withdrawal at CUNY is apparently the only time the administration gets involved with the mental health of its students. It’s an option available to let students take time off from school.

“The mechanism was put in place so that students who are unable to complete their course of study, can withdraw for medical reasons with an opportunity to return at a later date.”

Furthermore:

“What happens here when there’s reason to believe that a student’s behavior is a cause of concern, a group known as the behavior intervention group is convened. It’s a half dozen people on campus from the academic side and student affairs and security. They discuss the issues of concern and reach some determination about what potential options there are, and if there are behavioral issues that need to be dealt with. The group then reaches out and encourages students to meet with someone in personal counseling. At that point, there is a policy in place where students can take a medical withdrawal.”

In Chinemerem’s case, it sounds like the EMS got involved at some point, and it was the doctors at King’s County who decided to admit her to the hospital. She has reportedly already settled with the hospital for a six figure sum, so it will be interesting to see what the college’s role ended up being in this whole thing.

For his part,  Thompson says that Brooklyn College has no connection to King’s County hospital, aside from the fact that they are both public institutions.

Amber From 'Teen Mom' Is Jealous Of 'Jersey Shore' Cast

Posted: 14 Jan 2011 02:02 PM PST

Teen Mom Amber Portwood is so mad! What else is new?! But for once, Amber is not angry at her baby daddy Gary Shirley, who she faces up to three years in jail for assaulting. No, Amber is mad at the cast of Jersey Shore, because they get to hit each other all the time and not get in trouble.
A source close to Amber tells Life & Style:

She wonders why they can fight on Jersey Shore and not get in trouble, yet she ended up in jail. In fact, she and Gary weren't even living together at the time — it seems less like domestic battery than with the Jersey Shore people, who actually live in the same house.

First of all, Amber, living with a group of strangers is not what the term “domestic” refers to in “domestic battery.” It applies to people in a relationship. But nice try! Also, when Sammi tries to pull out one of JWOWW’s extensions, the state doesn’t get involve because there are no small children involve and people can be assholes in the privacy of their own home as long as they aren’t subjecting a baby to violent behavior (giant diaper-swaddled Ron-Ron doesn’t count). Thirdly, the kids from Jersey Shore get arrested all the time for public brawls! That was basically the entire first and second season of the show!

And lastly, Amber Portwood, you should not look to Jersey Shore as a beacon of fairness in this world, because it will inevitably disappoint.

Lost In Translation: How Do You Say One Night Stand In Spanish?

Posted: 14 Jan 2011 02:02 PM PST

Lost in Translation is our weekly column from a college guy's perspective. Seasonal affective disorder is starting to affect Michael’s sex life, so he took a trip to Argentina to get back into the swing of things…

I live in North Carolina, and fall is far and away my favorite season, especially here, where the fiery reds and oranges of leaves enflame long stretches of road. Even winter is nice around the holiday season. But there are a few excruciatingly long months if you're all by your lonesome with no one to keep you warm and toasty at night. So when it came time to jump aboard a plane and set off for a much-needed vacation this month, it was just fine by me that I'd be making the hop down south of the equator to Argentina, where the balmy air and revealing outfits howled summer.

I felt like a dog in heat, panting through the open window of my taxi as I drove through downtown Buenos Aires towards my hotel. Boy, oh boy, was I ready for this. Maybe it's the boiling thermometers and desire to strip off extra layers. Perhaps it's the romance of late sunsets. Possibly the way a tan makes you look downright sexy, even when you're spilling all over yourself and mumbling dense nothings. Whatever it is, summer has something that riles up the human spirit and lets loose that unabashed sexual energy everyone has raring to go somewhere inside. And Argentineans are all about that energy, and I felt it the moment I touchdowned at Ezieza International Airport.

It goes without saying that I was ecstatic when one of my friends from another lifetime e-mailed me after seeing my Facebook status and told me that he was in Buenos Aires and that I should accompany him for a night of food and drinks and laughs with a small group of ex-pats and locals he had cozied his way into. He would know the hot spots. He would know where I may run into one or two of those beautiful ladies that I watched slack-jawed from my table at the sidewalk café. Hell, he may even bring one along.

Which he did. The moment I walked into his apartment, I set eyes on her, moved across the room towards my host, and gave him the biggest hug, one fit for a brother or best friend, not a nearly-forgotten childhood chum. And by the end of that night, I had no regrets about that hug. He had deserved it, however preemptive it was. This breathtaking girl (well, "very cute," I think the wine made her more attractive than she actually was…) and I had a night I thought was merely Latin legend, folktales of great conversation and passionate love making. By 3 am (nights apparently BEGIN at 2 am) we were groping each other in a bathroom not much larger than an airplanes, but it was all the vertical and horizontal space we needed. With the sun rising, I offered tired goodbyes to my host and walked her the short walk down to her apartment, then fell into a cab all the way back to the hotel.

About a week later, after an excursion down to Patagonia, I returned for the last few days of my trip. I figured I would see if my old friend would want to go for a drink and he said that the group from the other night had dinner plans at a restaurant near my hotel and that I was more than welcome to join. I had an early flight, but would go for a small bite. Upon arriving, the "very cute" girl offered an enthusiastic wave, which I returned, but then I sat next to my old friend, where we swapped war stories of our trips back to our hometown and how everyone back there was doing. Realizing I was running late, I excused myself from dinner, but not before going down for a brief conversation with the girl. But when I sat next to her, she turned. Away from me. Confused, I turned to her friend, who also turned. Away from me. Everyone else seemed to be in other conversations and unaware of what was happening. I was baffled. After what must have been a handful of minutes, I slid back from the table and left the restaurant.

I'm assuming she was upset that I sat next to my friend instead of her. But why? We barely know each other. And we are never going to see each other again. On the off chance that we do, it is highly unlikely that we'll both have held onto that slightly awkward though rather fun baño quickie as this lingering love story. This isn't Four Weddings and a Funeral. You're definitely not Andie MacDowell. I'm sure as hell not Hugh Grant. Now, if we both happen to be single, then, shoot, let's give it another go. But unless we happen to be reading lines, this isn't going to read like a script.

When did one-night stands become more than that? The confines of a campus make it difficult, but I met you in Buenos Aires, a huge city in a country on a continent in another hemisphere. Let's leave it at that.

Gallery: 6 Celebrities Who Broke Their Purity Pledge

Posted: 14 Jan 2011 02:43 PM PST

Selena Gomez’s parents allegedly flipped the eff out when they found out their beautiful angel had taken off her purity ring to state dating Justin Bieber. (Sorry to all the people who were adamant that the tweens were keeping their relationship PG!). But honestly, Mr. and Mrs. Gomez should chill out and look around at all the other child celebs who promised to keep their hymens intact until the wedding night: many of them are knocked up or have photos of backup singers licking their prepubescent chests circulating the Internet.

And at least Selena is being honest in taking off her ring, unlike the other teeny-bopper stars in our gallery who swore to remain perfect forever but couldn’t even make it out of high school.

  • Britney Spears
  • Demi Lovato
  • Hilary Duff
  • Miley Cyrus
  • Kelly Clarkson

Facebook Wars: Did Teen Mom 2's Kailyn Lowry Cheat On Jon Rivera?

Posted: 14 Jan 2011 01:40 PM PST

This week on Teen Mom 2, we got a whole lot of updates about the lives of MTV’s latest bunch of teenage mothers. And Kailyn Lowry, one of the young mothers featured in the show, was in an especially difficult place. Considering that her mother often doesn’t have a place to live, Kailyn has been living with boyfriend Jon and his family since she got pregnant. But on this week’s show, she and Jon had broken up. And were still living in the same house because Kailyn had no place to go. That caused a lot of friction between them on the episode.

And this week on Facebook, their fight spread to Kailyn’s Facebook wall, where Jon claimed that Kailyn cheated on him.

Facebook has become a popular place for these stars to air grievances. Just today, Jenelle Evans announced her split from her most recent boyfriend. With Kailyn, it all started when Jon showed up to defend himself from commenters on Kailyn’s fan page:

“Imma jerk? Lol. Why? Because i dont let ppl take advantage of me? Because there are rules to abide by when your livin in someone elses house? Because im real and say wats on my mind? Cuz i dont like being lied to and disrespected? Cuz i want to my son to have the best life possible and have both parents in his life? You’ve never met me nor have you even spoke to me before but you can make the judgement that imma jerk. Sounds to me like your the jerk.”

And Kailyn was glad to take him on:

“Jo makes himself look bad… no matter how much editing there is we all do things that we can look back and know… how to make it better. Jo is not in school, he only works.”

Which made Jon take it to the next level, claiming that MTV didn’t capture Kailyn cheating on him:

“I dont buy that especially since i no now she lied to me bour havin another boyfriend for months while she was livin wit me”

What do you think? Was Kailyn cheating on Jon? Even if they were broken up when she started seeing another guy, was that poor form?
