So thanks you two! This behavior has officially knocked you into the annoying couple quadrant. The Daily Show correspondent and Glee star were at Madison Square Garden last night to catch the Philadelphia Flyers play the New York Rangers. As if Olivia Munn hadn’t angered enough comedy fans with her Comedy Central gig. Now she is sure to unleash the rage of myriad Glee fans who love Will Schuester. Oh, maybe not. But irritating couple habits should do the trick anyway:  Post from: Crushable Weird Couple Alert: Olivia Munn And Matthew Morrison  |
| 'Something Borrowed' Trailer: Can Kate Hudson Capture Darcy's Charm? Posted: 21 Feb 2011 09:17 AM PST
That is… until I saw the trailer. And saw that every character has been badly cast. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised. I mean, Hollywood’s miscasting and misinterpretations of novels never seems to disappoint. For some reason though, this movie version of Something Borrowed really pisses me off. Maybe it’s because its an arguably lesser-known novel, so therefore I feel it’s more “mine,” than, say, Jodi Picoult’s book My Sister’s Keeper.
I think the reason why I am so offended by the casting is that Emily Giffin describes each character so wholly that the reader has a clear picture of what they look like, sound like, act like, and are like. Her descriptions of Rachel and Darcy’s friendship, from childhood to high school to present day, is so complete that you might actually think you know them. It’s part of what makes the book so compelling; you can’t really dislike any major character, because you see the charm of each character, as well as the character’s flaws. Rachel, for example, is fair-skinned, with a soft, womanly figure. I always pictured her played by a Renee Zellweger type. Ginnifer Goodwin as a choice, makes sense, in that she is the less-obviously beautiful friend; the second-fiddle to Kate Hudson. Still, I think I would have to see the movie to determine whether or not she was a good choice for Rachel. But Darcy is described as having “smooth, olive skin” and dark hair. Sure – that sounds exactly like Kate Hudson. Maybe I’m only bitter because something about Kate Hudson annoys me (maybe it’s her obvious awareness about her “kookiness” and obsession with being spontaneous). Or maybe it’s because while every other reader relates to Rachel, I relate to Darcy, probably because she was confident and funny, while Rachel was weaker and full of self-doubt. (I am always strangely compelled by the villain in books and movies. My favorite Rugrats character was Angelica. Don’t judge me.) Darcy is my favorite character and I would hate to see such a well-written personality bastardized by Kate Hudson. Personally, I always saw her played by a younger Catherine Zeta-Jones. P.S. If you find that you love Darcy too, or even if you don’t, read Something Blue, which is the second installment in the series, and is written from the point of view of Darcy. Ethan is a pretty minor character in Something Borrowed, and only gets center stage in the second installment of the series. He also lives in London, but in the trailer, it appears he lives in America, with the rest of the characters. It kills me to say this, as I love John Krasinski and worship him as Jim from The Office, but he probably would have played a better Dex than an Ethan. Ethan is supposed to be the underdog – not the obvious hottie, but the small-framed, “sensitive” guy that only the girl who bothered to look past the surface would be attracted to. Something Borrowed comes out May 6th. I’m really hoping I like it, but I’m not holding my breath.

| Romancing The Bone: A Pro-Bush Agenda For 2011! Posted: 21 Feb 2011 08:59 AM PST
When I was in college, however, I was like many women frequently filled with pube-related terror. Like Jamie Peck pointed out in her essay "I Actually Like My Pubes" last year, I was perfectly fine with mine…but was convinced that everyone else would have an Exorcist-type bodily reaction if they ever saw such ungroomed pubes. The truth is, it turns out, that some fools of the highest order will actually critique this (and other!) aspects of a women's body. The idea that someone could point out something they don't like on a naked woman without immediately hitting themselves in the face with a hammer is beyond me. As a result of feeling the push, I became pretty militantly pro-pubes, turning up my nose at the idea of removing anything The Man found unsightly or unfeminine. I mean it's around a vagina; how unfeminine could it conceivably be? However, the saloon door of bush-related embarrassment swings both ways. A couple years later, I had a different gentleman caller actually laugh out loud at my lack of a carpet (which I'd removed after an attempt at trimming had gone horribly, yet hilariously, wrong). "Did you just do that today?" he said, shaking his head. "Man, what humans do to themselves." YES, THAT SEEMS LIKE A REASONABLE THING TO SAY TO SOMEONE ABOUT THEIR BODY. EVER. IN ANY SITUATION. Jeez, can't a woman just be undressed without comments from the peanut gallery? Like, write a your senior gender studies thesis on it; it'll last longer. In this situation as with the first, if I hadn't been so filled with self-doubt, I would have drop-kicked said guy like a soccer ball into orbit around Planet Douche, where he would rotate for a million shining years in space as billions of muff grow or disappear in peace. I know what some people might be thinking: "It's not as simple as personal preference if naked vaginas are hoisted on the population as the "normal" way to look." The problem with pubes, like almost all aspects of a women's body, is that people just aren't willing to let them, or their owners, be. People, who tend toward the young and obnoxious, associate a bountiful bush with some kind of mythical mannish he-woman, rather than with the millions — nay — billions of women in every culture for the entirety of human history who rocked them non-stop. Other people assert that any women sporting a Brazilian should just turn in her feminist card now and not even bother to show up for the Planned Parenthood rally in NYC on February 26 (see you there!). Both groups who would make this assertion need to check in with our dear friend Reality. In case you're worried, yes, the vast majority of men I've known have been pro-bush, either adamantly or with the casual supportiveness of the equally unconcerned. Which definitely counts! But the truth is, girls often have to take a firm stand in favor of muff, or defend their right to be bare, rather than just being allowed to do whatever they want with their bidness. The same can be said about a women's weight, how often she has sex and with whom, if she has sex at all, and a million other aspects of female life that in a perfect world should depend exclusively on a lady's ever-changing and evolving preference. I support pubes as the default, but the moral of this story is, a girl can't screw this up. For example, if you find that your partner prefers your vajeene coiffed one way or the other, you individually can think really hard about indulging his or her preference, then make your own decision. There is no correct moral to glean from this pube-tale, and no incorrect one either. At the end of the day, women should feel that they have the right to not decide, or care, or worry, or think about the density or absence of their bush at all until one day they look down the shower one day and think, "Hmmm, maybe it's time to try something different." As I get older, the issue of nothing vs. something vs. everything fades into the background of great dates and supportive partners. With age comes the beautiful gift of ability to care so, so little about people's opinion; it will eventually embolden a girl to listen thoughtfully to people's criticism of her personal grooming habits, then kindly and politely not give a rat's ass. So until then, whether we are slipping in the dorm showers trying to twist into human pretzels, switching to an all-Ramen diet in order to drop change on waxing, or frantically tucking our pubes into the side of our bathing suit, know that we are just trying to get through this thing called life without going crazy. And that's a glorious feeling. (Photo: Black Crowes, Amorica) Post from: Crushable Romancing The Bone: A Pro-Bush Agenda For 2011!  |

She owned the stage, in a way that was completely lacking from another recent halftime performance – The Black Eyed Peas at the Superbowl. Meanwhile, the NBA Allstars game is sometimes called the “Black Superbowl.” And I’m starting to feel like the “White Superbowl” is just a pale imitation.

Here’s one wedding I’d prefer to watch over Prince William and Kate Middleton’s: Paris Hilton and Cy Waits, who have reportedly been shopping for engagement rings. (CNN) Celebrities: they’re just like us (well, maybe not all of us). Here are 10 cleaning-obsessed celebrities. (The Frisky) Charlie Sheen is in the market for two houses for his two ex-wives, Denise Richards and Brooke Mueller, in hopes that by living near him, his kids will grow closer to him. Uh… thanks? (TMZ) Will you watch Natalie Portman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Rainn Wilson in the Sundance featured film, Hesher? (Just Jared) Looks like The Biebs isn’t good at everything. (Dlisted) This year, the Oscars will feature backstage coverage, during the actual awards ceremony. It’s about time we mixed some reality TV with the upper-crust of the film industry.

George Clooney’s Italian girlfriend, Elisabetta Canalis, gave an awesome live rendition of Ciara’s “Like A Boy” on Italian TV Saturday Night. Her performance culminated the 61st Italian music festival in San Remo. If you had no idea she was a dancer, you’re not alone: most know her only as a model and actress, but she got her start as a dancer. Who knew? Check out the performance here:

As a huge Emily Giffin fan, and especially a huge fan of Something Borrowed and Something Blue, I was excited when I heard Hollywood was making a Something Borrowed movie based on the book.
It looks like they got the synopsis of the movie about right. For those who don’t know, the book begins with the protagonist, Rachel (Ginnifer Goodwin), waking up the morning after her 30th birthday party, to find herself in bed with her best friend, Darcy’s (Kate Hudson), fiance, Dex (Colin Egglesfield). Coincidentally, Darcy is the one who threw Rachel the birthday party the night before. Readers might find themselves displeased with Rachel’s actions, until they begin to understand the dynamics of Rachel and Darcy’s friendship, which began in childhood. Basically, Rachel was always the nice, meek friend who stood in Darcy’s shadow their entire lives. Darcy has been the popular, beautiful one since birth, who has bossed Rachel around for their entire friendship, and always seems to get her way. As you begin to see the way the two friends interact, Darcy becomes a less sympathetic character, and most readers will root for Rachel. Darcy dated Rachel’s childhood crush, Ethan (John Krasinski), back in fifth grade. Rachel was the one who introduced Darcy and Dex. After sleeping together, both Rachel and Dex discover they have deep feelings for one another, but Darcy (who doesn’t know about Rachel and Dex’s tryst) and Dex still proceed with the wedding, with Rachel as the maid-of-honor. Rachel and Dex continue their affair in secrecy and Rachel is rife with dueling emotions of love for Dex and loyalty to Darcy. Just when it seems that Rachel and Dex must stop seeing each other, they find out that emotions on Darcy’s end might be more complicated than they thought.
I've got pubes on the brain recently (though hopefully not literally; they'd probably name the condition after me), due to a disheartening recent trip to buy razors. Have you ever compared the price of razors/waxing to actual food or amenities, because damn. Venus has got us by the collective lady balls here, people! If my attitude towards the subject isn't readily apparently from my hearty endorsement of hippie shit like
Rihanna’s performance last night at the NBA Allstars game was amazing. For those of you who missed it, she played during halftime (with appearances by Drake and Kanye to boot), and you should watch now. RiRi and was dressed like a hot red headed Barbie, with a huge red ponytail and fringe shimmy skirt. Watching Rihanna move around the stage was probably worth the price of admission for many (as witnessed by the amazing gif above
Producer Nathan Folks is feeling pretty confident that Lindsay Lohan won’t go to jail, and is hoping to cast her in a new movie about overnight celebrities who can’t handle the pressure of fame and fake their own deaths. LiLo would play a investigator who is hired to get to the bottom of the disappearances. We’re pretty sure there’s another role there that she could play much more confidently.
