| Will You Watch the New Bravo Show 'Most Eligible: Dallas'? Posted: 29 Mar 2011 10:49 AM PDT
Apparently, Bravo decided they still must do something with Texas, and more specifically, Dallas. According to Variety, Bravo just announced a new “docuseries” called Most Eligible: Dallas, which will follow local socialites and examine the dating scene in Dallas. However, it’s not just Dallas; apparently, the “docuseries” will follow socialites in Gotham, Chicago and Los Angeles. This seems to be a Real Housewives for younger people. To me, it sounds a little too close for comfort to a short-lived Bravo show called Miami Social (which, after careful, analysis I decided sucked). The cast members were a little bit younger than most of the Real Housewives, and included a cast of people who had slept with one another and were now dating and talking about their dating/sex lives with their circle. There were no cast-members who were particularly funny or charming, and even Andy Cohen called the show stupid. So, I’m not sure how I feel about another show in a similar vein. Lilit thinks the show sounds like a now-canceled Soapnet reality TV show, Southern Belles: Louisville. The show was similar to Real Housewives, in that it focused on a group of women, but differed in that the women were younger than most of the Real Housewives and were actively dating. Add the Southern aspect on top of it, and it sounds pretty similar to Most Eligible: Dallas. Might Bravo have recognized the value in the canceled show, and decided to capitalize on Soapnet’s idea? Either way, of course I’ll watch Most Eligible: Dallas. Will you? Post from: Crushable Will You Watch the New Bravo Show 'Most Eligible: Dallas'?  |

| Perez Hilton Has Written a Kids' Book for Some Reason Posted: 29 Mar 2011 10:00 AM PDT
That sounds great and all, but Perez’s whole MO is making fun of famous people. It’s not like I’m criticizing him for it – after all, that’s part of my job too, but at least I’m not writing an inspirational book for little kids at the same time.

| Wookie the Chew Is Way Cooler Than Winnie the Pooh Posted: 29 Mar 2011 09:15 AM PDT
That’s right: Winnie the Pooh has been Star Wars-ized. Not only are Hance’s illustration adorable, but the whole idea is ingeniously thought through in the greatest of detail. Chrisolo Robin, for example, takes time to teach Wookie the Chew about the force, a subject on which Wookie has classically Pooh-like thoughts: Piglet has been recast as R2-D2: And Pooh Bear’s tradmark balloon has become the Death Star: Note that Pooh’s old nemesis the bees have undergone a transformation as well, becoming tiny little TIE-fighters. The first book, The House at Chew Corner, can be purchased at Hance’s website here; you can also buy prints of Wookie the Chew art, as well as paintings and prints of Hance’s other work. Hance is currently working on a sequel to The House at Chew Corner called When We Were Very Jedi. I don’t know about you guys, but I can’t wait!

| Video: Lady Gaga Sings 'Born This Way' At Her Own Birthday Party Posted: 29 Mar 2011 08:56 AM PDT To celebrate her 25th, Lady Gaga‘s friends threw the pop super star a party at a Downtown LA club called La Cita* that included a hired mariachi band. Unexpectedly, Gaga — who was wearing a sparkly black dress and sporting a massive beehive — jumped on stage and performed with the band. A partygoer cell-phone-captured her rendition of “Born This Way,” which is ultra jazzy and fun. *We used to go to La Cita like every Friday in college for something called “Punky Reggae Dance Night” or some such… so, yeah, that’s the kind of place it is. Keeping it real and low-key, it seems! Post from: Crushable Video: Lady Gaga Sings 'Born This Way' At Her Own Birthday Party  |
| Romancing The Bone: What To Do When You're (Always) Probably Pregnant Posted: 29 Mar 2011 09:00 AM PDT
The most important step in dealing with pregnancy anxiety is feeling in control of the situation. One way to stay confidently sans baby is to explore the many wondrous birth control options within our reach. While the pill works for many people, other ladies may have a difficult time making it work for them, which can obviously lead to both real, as well as emotional, risks. That is to say, if a girl finds herself panicking every time she forgets to take a pill…but keeps forgetting to take it anyway, maybe exploring other birth control options is a good idea. If she's having a hard time taking daily medication, she can look into the ring. If a girl finds herself loading pallets of whole-sale pregnancy tests into a flat-bed truck despite her use of hormonal birth control, might I suggest she double-up and slap on a condom? Not literally slap, of course, unless she and her partner are into that . Which brings me to my next point… Women need to talk to their boyfriends/husbands/casual bone buddies about their pregnancy fears. No, really! Sure, it might seem embarrassing to admit to one's neurotic fears about being pregnant all the time. But the fact is, no one should have to worry alone. Upon having the conversation, I'm betting many women will find that their partners are also always three seconds away from hyperventilating into a paper bag over a potential pregnancy. While two terrified people freaking out over a non-existent baby isn't great, talking about birth control, sex in general, plans for the future and/or any other nervous-making topics can help both partners feel more confident in their decisions, rather than griped with uncertainty. In addition to improving a couple's communication, the reality is that constant, silent fear about unwanted pregnancy is going to kill the mood every time. Who wanted to have sex when sex equals babies forever and always, amen? While the most effective form of birth control is abstinence, actively choosing to refrain from sexually activity is the polar opposite from uncontrollable pregnancy terror. If a woman is going to get it on, she should be able to get it on with a little anxiety as possible. Post from: Crushable Romancing The Bone: What To Do When You're (Always) Probably Pregnant  |

We at Crushable have been waiting for Bravo to come to Texas, which we thought would be the next likely stop for Real Housewives. A state known for glamorous girls, big hair, sororities, beauty pageants, and old-fashioned courting rituals seemed like a perfect fit for the franchise. But, Andy Cohen recently said that 
We at Crushable are almost unanimously in agreement that Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog was a fantastic, innovative piece of work. But with stars Nathan Fillion, Neil Patrick Harris, and Felicia Day, not to mention head honcho Joss Whedon, all busy with exciting new projects, there’s little hope of the sequel happening anytime soon.
It looks like 
Any woman with access to a TV and an active imagination has had at least one fever dream about the show I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant. If they haven't, let me correct that oversight: the show is about women…who didn't know they were pregnant…until a baby started to come out of them. While there are certainly women who could potentially overlook a nine month pregnancy (apparently enough to make an entire series about it), I've found that the opposite is much more likely: women who think they're pregnant All. The. Time. I was one of those women for the first, oh, three years after becoming sexually active; in addition to talking about it non-stop, my like-minded friends and I actually started a blog named Probably Pregnant to deal with our constant anxiety about our potentially baby-making wombs. This article is for those ladies who live in perpetual certainty that their nausea must be morning sickness or their light period is merely a disguise for implantation bleeding (do not Google that phrase), and with some tips on how to deal.
Need more proof that Rebecca Black is the voice of a generation? Look no further than this point-by-point comparison of “Friday” and “A Day in the Life.”| You are subscribed to email updates from Crushable To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
