| Am I Right Ladies? This is OUR Magnum Opus Posted: 09 Jun 2011 10:30 AM PDT As summer heats up, I'm always looking for quick ways to cool down and it turns out letting yourself into an ice cream truck counts as "breaking and entering." But can you really put a price on the sweet, sweet relief of imitation caramel hardened around a vanilla chocolate swirl and dipped in sprinkles? No, but apparently it does break down to exactly 150 hours of community service. WORTH IT, amirightladies? Even if there isn't a citywide restraining order against you from the food truck association, it's always good to have a backup plan. Enter Magnum Ice Cream. Not your average Klondike, this brick of dairy dunked in creamy chocolate is a luxury treat available in Europe for years but only recently launched in the US. Trust me this is a 100% so-bad-for-you-its-good-but-really-its-bad-for-you-so-don't-eat-another-one-even-though-it-feels-so-right-oh-wait-you-already-unwrapped-it-you-may-as-well-take-a-bite-and-now-its-gone-no-regrets-except-a-few dessert that's bound to refresh you on the steamiest summer days. It sounds like a condom and the commercials don't really try to convince you otherwise- but if you enjoy Magnums as much as the people in the commercials do (and I DO), you probably won't have any trouble not having sex. And I DON'T, amirightladies? Related posts: Post from: Crushable Am I Right Ladies? This is OUR Magnum Opus  |

| Shania Twain Falls at CMT Awards, Posts Cute Video Response Posted: 09 Jun 2011 09:41 AM PDT
In the video she posted to Twitter, Twain says, “I just made a complete fool of myself and experienced one of life’s most embarrassing moments” but assures fans that beyond a sore thumb, she didn’t hurt herself. But she’s done with those tricky shoes: “I’m gonna auction off those shoes. I’m gonna get rid of them as soon as I can. I never want to see those shoes again! Or maybe I should keep them as a souvenir?” Though she doesn’t address him, we’re assuming the man filming is her new husband Frederic Thiebaud, who was married to Marie-Anne Thiebaud, Twain’s former best friend who cheated with her then-husband Mutt Lange. It’s refreshing to see a Hollywood couple making a video that’s not a sex tape. Related posts: Post from: Crushable Shania Twain Falls at CMT Awards, Posts Cute Video Response  |
| Conspiracy Theory: Jonathan Groff the Actor and Jonathan Groff the Writer Are the Same Person Posted: 09 Jun 2011 09:15 AM PDT
Groff’s IMDb page lists him as a writer on Late Night with Conan O’Brien, as well as the creator of The Jake Effect and Andy Barker, P.I. But the photo is of the 26-year-old Broadway and TV actor. The thing is, for about the first act of that HIMYM episode, I was willing to believe that Groff the actor was moonlighting as a TV writer. After all, his Glee co-star Chris Colfer just sold a TV pilot to Disney and signed a two-book deal to write children’s books, the first of which is called The Land of Stories. And he’s only 21! Hollywood loves those Glee kids, so it’s not so preposterous that Groff could’ve freelanced for HIMYM. But ultimately, the TV writer is a different person with the same name… or is he? Surprisingly, it’s a Scrubs fan wiki that has the lowdown on Groff the writer — though not his age, which is strange. Also, the two of them look suspiciously similar. We’re all thinking it, I’m just going to come out and say it: An older Jonathan Groff from about 15 years in the future traveled back in time to start writing for The Jon Stewart Show in 1993, knowing that “he” would be born in 1985 and grow up to be an actor and singer… just as long as that path takes him to 2026, where he steps into that time machine. He gets to live two lives at once! Related posts: Post from: Crushable Conspiracy Theory: Jonathan Groff the Actor and Jonathan Groff the Writer Are the Same Person  |
| The Facebook Tattoo Story Is a Hoax, Just Like Everything Else On the Internet Posted: 09 Jun 2011 09:09 AM PDT
We live in a culture where you choose which news channel to watch based on your own political leanings and where the best way to disagree with someone is to label them biased. So often, pundits like to point out that they’re stating real facts, thus negating the meaning of the words “real” and “facts.” Because the internet provides so many ways to obtain information, it’s easy to spend a couple of hours in a Google or Wikipedia wormhole and come out on the other side thinking we’re experts on something. Regular people now think they’re more knowledgeable than reporters, scholars, or other experts. I can’t have a conversation with a friend about a news story without someone replying, “Well, that’s not what really happened, because I heard…” The internet hasn’t necessarily made us smarter, but it has made us more willing to think we know the truth better than other people. We follow a celebrity on Twitter and think we have some sort of insight into their personality or that if they retweet us they’re our friend. As someone whose job is to write things on the internet, I understand that I’m part of the problem. After all, I fell for the Facebook tattoo story too. And witnessing so many internet jokes, scams, and hoaxes, I’ve gone too far in the other direction. I assume everything is fake or – more often – some form of viral marketing. To be honest, there’s still a part of me that thinks Rebecca Black is either a creation of the CIA or somebody’s future-award-winning doctoral disseration in cultural studies. But even though so many of these stories end up being hoaxes, there’s one question I ask myself before vowing never to write about memes again: did I enjoy it? The girl-quitting-via-dry-erase story may not have been true, but it still made me laugh when I first read it. And shame on me for believing in it, but at least my shame was only witnessed by the burning embers of my laptop screen. Many of the people who like to rail about the internet and how evil it is are people who often don’t understand how it works. Yeah, you shouldn’t just take some random dude’s Livejournal page at face value. But the internet is how people found out about Osama bin Laden’s death half an hour before President Obama addressed the country and how Iranian and Egyptian protesters were able to get the word out about what was going on in their cities. For every person who believes an article on The Onion is real and winds up on this blog, there’s another who learned something that they wouldn’t have learned otherwise. If you complain that the mainstream media isn’t covering a particular story enough, odds are good that you can find an outlet, however small or obscure, that is. And if there isn’t a publication covering the story you think is super-important, you can create your own blog and do it yourself. Or you can create your very own internet hoax where a girl quits her job while tattooing her arm with pictures of Pikachu Cat. Your call.

| Interview: ‘Real Housewives of New Jersey’s’ Teresa Giudice Is Launching Her Own Cocktail Posted: 09 Jun 2011 07:25 AM PDT  Pictured: Teresa Giudice and Hannah Rose Siegel at the Aetrex event Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of interviewing Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Teresa Giudice, at the opening of the Aetrex store in Englewood, NJ. I thought I would have just one question for her: “Is bitch better?!” but found I had a few more. Teresa actually seemed incredibly down-to-earth in person; she drove herself to the event, parked right outside the store, and walked in without an entourage. Teresa was even prettier in person, and was friendly and eager to talk. After the interview, I decided to try the pizza at her husband, Joe Giudice’s, restaurant. There, I met his sister, brother-in-law, and mother, who were all working. His mother was very warm and sweet, and she sat and talked with me for awhile. She said people pronounce her last name “ju-dech,”ju-deh-chay,” or “ju-dice,” and I could use whichever I wanted. Also, the pizza was really good. All in all, my day confirmed my decision to be Team Teresa. Check out our interview below: Your first cookbook, Skinny Italian, was so complete with all the recipes and personal anecdotes. How is Fabulicious different? Fabulicious is a family cookbook and it has different recipes, pictures of the whole family, and great desserts. Do you have any immediate or future business plans that you could share with us? Yes; I’m coming out with my own adult beverage. It’s a Bellini and it’s going to be called a “Fabullini.” I’ve got a raspberry and peach. It’s Prosecco wine, peach purée, and raspberry. I’ve always related to you, but I have especially so this season, with family issues. Have you gotten a lot of support or criticism this season? Support. It’s really, really hard, you know? On the show, Kathy gave a vague reason for the demise of her relationship with you. She said you said “family sucks.” Is there more to the story? Yeah, I never said that. To me, family is always so important. I’m the one who always kept the family together, because family is the most important thing to me. There was a period in our lives, me and Kathy [Wakile], when we didn’t speak, you know, when we were younger. So when I got married to my husband, and had children, I made it a point to make sure to hang out with Kathy. Me and Kathy were like sisters. And then it was weird; her husband always kept cracking on me and that gets old after a while. It’s okay in the beginning, okay, fine, you’re funny, but then after a while, it gets really old.

Last night, Shania Twain took an embarrassing spill at the Country Music Awards — not that anyone who didn’t watch the show would know it, because Viacom has blocked all the YouTube videos of the fall. Props to Twain for scrambling back to her feet and presenting Blake Shelton with the “Male Video of the Year”; and then 
While rewatching How I Met Your Mother episodes with my boyfriend, I kept getting tripped up when I would see the name Jonathan Groff credited for writing certain episodes (“I’m Not That Guy”, “Everything Must Go”, “The Possimpible”). Surely the same kid who plays Jesse St. James on Glee couldn’t also be working in the HIMYM writers’ room? Turns out it’s a mistake — but IMDb doesn’t know the difference.
Yesterday, we posted a video of a girl who got all of her Facebook friends’ avatars 
Yesterday, I recapped Kianna Randall‘s episode of 16 and Pregnant, which included | You are subscribed to email updates from Crushable To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
