| The Daily WTF: A Necklace Made Of Bacon Posted: 30 Sep 2011 10:39 AM PDT The holidays are coming up, you will perhaps need to find gifts for some vegan and Jewish friends. Might I suggest this necklace of bacon? I know it seems like a weird choice, but you see, that’s the only way to make the bacon trend even more ironic. Which is the point, right? These necklaces are part of Onch Movement’s “Meat-cessory” collection, which was created in tribute to Lady Gaga”s meat dress. The bacon jewelry also comes in cuff-form, it case that’s more up your alley. (via) Post from: Crushable  |
| Tara Reid Will Get Paid The Least For The New American Pie Sequel Posted: 30 Sep 2011 10:14 AM PDT The latest sequel in the American Pie franchise is about a high school reunion, but it’s also a reunion of sorts for the actors themselves. And, as with all reunion type set-ups, some people have aged a bit better than others. One decent measure of how well an actor’s career is doing is how much a film has to pay them to be in it, and it seems Jason Biggs and Seann William Scott are doing pretty well for themselves; they are each getting paid $5 million to be in American Reunion, plus a slice of the film’s profits. Sure, they also have the biggest roles, but if they had absolutely nothing else going in their careers, you can bet that figure would be lower. This movie needs them more than they need it. (I never thought I’d say that about Sean William Scott.) Way down the list, the lowest paid principal to return is the hapless Tara Reid, who will receive a paltry $250,000. I realize this is not chump change, but it’s low for movie star standards, and it’s lower than anyone else, even Chris Klein. A quick glance at her IMDB page shows that she hasn’t been in very many things you’ve heard of since American Pie 2, with the notable exception of Scrubs. The Crow: Wicked Prayer and Alone In The Dark were not exactly critical successes (or commercial ones, for that matter), and she subsequently had to resort to doing a made-for-TV movie. It’s also worth noting that Tara Reid is now 36, so perhaps a transition out of teen sex comedies would serve her career well, at least until she’s old enough to play someone’s horny mom. Anyone shopping around a Shakespeare project? According to Perez Hilton, this is the total salary breakdown for the film:
Poor, undervalued Tara Reid. Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
| Melissa McCarthy Wants To Bring Her Weird Improv Character Marbles To Saturday Night Live Posted: 30 Sep 2011 10:12 AM PDT
And who exactly is Marbles? As Melissa tells The Hollywood Reporter, she created Marbles while with L.A. improv troupe The Groundlings; she’s “a cross-eyed, eccentric genius.” Marbles sounds like a lucky charm: Not only did Mike & Molly creator Mark Roberts love Melissa the moment he saw Marbles on her reel, but it was that character that also won over Melissa’s husband (and fellow Groundlings alum) Ben Falcone. Let us introduce you to Marbles, who has a bone to pick with Taco Bell: “She’s so near and dear to my heart,” Melissa told the New York Post about Marbles in 2010. “Sometimes when my husband and I are discussing things, Marbles weighs in. It’s very disturbing.” “If I get Marbles on SNL, you can hit me with a bus right after that and I’ll be OK,” she joked to THR. With a day and a half til her SNL debut, it’s all up to the writers now!

| Rumor Has It Radiohead Will Play At The Occupy Wall Street Protest In NYC Today Posted: 30 Sep 2011 09:47 AM PDT
Gawker first reported the rumor; Occupy’s official website has also posted it, though they don’t make it clear if they’re repeating the rumor or confirming it. Everyone’s pointing to this opinion piece that Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke wrote in The Guardian in 2003 as the reasoning why the band would be willing to involve themselves in this political protest:
Yeah, it sounds like he’s behind the cause. Other celebrities who’ve already shown up to lend their support include contentious documentary maker Michael Moore and Susan Sarandon (who’s had her fair share of political activism). Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
| Cutegreggator: Dogs Dressed As other Animals For Halloween Posted: 30 Sep 2011 09:30 AM PDT Do you have a dog? Have you gotten its Halloween costume yet? No? Well, what are you waiting for? There’s only a month left! I’m of the opinion that the best thing to dress an animal up as is another animal. Animal Planet offers these terrific doggy costumes — dinos, zebras and turtles, oh my.

| Jersey Shore Field Notes: The Pregnancy Scare Posted: 30 Sep 2011 10:11 AM PDT
0:00 – Our specimens emerge hungover for the 11th time this week. Deena, Pauly and Ronnie head to the pizzeria for a day of work. 1:00 – Snooki wakes in her pink leopard-print (endangered species) dress from the night before and tries to track down her mate, Jionni, who abandoned her in a fit of rage. 2:00 – Snooki wants to talk to JWOWW, but JWOWW’s asleep. (Diagnosis: adaptive defense mechanism.) So Snooki puts on her furry boots (soon-to-be-extinct species, hopefully) and heads out alone. 3:00 – Snooki finds a cafe where people are eating quiet lunches. She insists that the music be turned up and dances by herself. 4:00 – Deena must clean the toilet at work. She does a good job. It’s very impressive. 5:30 – Snooki returns home. She calls her father and cries. 6:00 – Snooki at Jenni for not getting daytime drunk with her. 7:00 – Snooki proclaims that this is the worst day of her life. 8:00 – Snooki hates herself and needs to change in order to get married. So she changes into a pink leopard print wedding gown. 10:00 – JWOWW offers to track down the missing Jionni. She puts on a fake mustache and calls him on the telephone. He answers. He’s at the train station, heading to Rome. 14:00 – Snooki arrives to meet Jionni. He has already booked a new flight home. However, he tells Snooki he loves her and that he fucked up. But also he’s mad at her for dancing seductively. (Diagnosis: Jet lag?) 15:00 – Snooki's heart is broken. It leaks pink glitter onto the Italian marble. 19:00 – Finally, our specimens head to the club to refuel with shots of petrol. 19:30 – Deena confides in JWOWW that she thinks she might be pregnant. Her symptoms include: dizziness, emotional behavior, missed period. (Diagnosis: she is pregnant with alcohol and will probably carry it to term.) 20:00 – JWOWW insists that they leave immediately to find a pregnancy test. 21:00 – Now Deena's sobbing. (Note: A symptom of both pregnancy and drunkenness.) 22:00 – Deena returns home to take the test. 23:00 – The test reveals that Deena is not pregnant. Which is lucky for her but unlucky for the rest of us because a future president could have been born. 24:00 – Snooki calls Jionni. He tells her she’ a pig and generally insults her. She hangs up on him and oinks a couple times. 27:00 – Our specimens revive the Algonquin Round Table for an evening. They all sit around and discuss Jionni. Ronnie says that his first mistake was letting Snooki leave the house in a revealing dress. The females don’t like that Jionni is trying to change Snooki and decide he’s no good for her. Snooki belches and oinks again. 28:00 – Snooki has a brilliant idea. They will recreate their favorite Jersey club, Karma, right there in the living room. They will all dress up and Pauly will DJ. (Diagnosis: An impressive display of creativity. Plays well with others.) 31:00 – The Situation resumes his mating ritual with Snooki. He flaunts his peacock feathers and talks shit about Jionni. 32:00 – The Situation says “I love you” to Snooki. (Note: Does The Situation own a dictionary? Look into it.) 34:00 – The Situation jumps to the next stage of his sophisticated mating ritual, which means he lies and tells Snooki that Ronnie told him to kick Jionni in the head. 35:00 – Snooki yells at Ronnie. She feels like no one has her back. To demonstrate this point, she does a trust fall and nobody catches her. 37:00 – The Situation talks about receiving oral sex from Snooki. It sounds suspiciously like fan fiction written about that very thing. 38:00 – Snooki cuddles with Vinny and Deena with Pauly. Pauly kicks Deena out, but she’s happy because he allowed her to cuddle for five to ten minutes, and also because she still isn’t pregnant. 39:00 – Vinny and Snooki fornicate under the blankets. (Note: Have an intern write this fan fiction.) Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
| Rapper Martyn Claims He Had A Gay Affair With Chris Brown Posted: 30 Sep 2011 08:41 AM PDT Forget the Game/50 Cent feud—the newest gay accusation comes from Martyn, a rapper who claims he had sex with Chris Brown. It all started on Wednesday, when several gossip sites released leaked Twitter DMs (direct messages) between Martyn and Chris. You can check out the whole conversation here, but these are the relevant parts (read bottom to top): Immediately people flocked to Martyn’s Twitter, many claiming the conversations were fake and citing the Photoshop tool displayed on the navigation bar in the screenshots. Over the past 48 hours, Martyn’s been talking back-and-forth with his fans, and what he has to say isn’t what we expected: Some of the messages in the exchange were added to make it more dramatic, but yes, he did hook up with Chris Brown. Of the many tweets, we’ve picked out the ones that best summarize Martyn’s side of the story:
The only reaction Chris has given was this rather eccentric tweet from a few hours ago:
We’re not entirely convinced that Martyn’s telling the truth; after all, you have to note that the more famous member involved here is keeping mum, and the (by comparison) amateur is the one who’s only too happy to give interviews. Then again, Chris obviously stands to lose a lot more from this. But the longer he stays silent, the easier it is for people to believe Martyn wholeheartedly. Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
| Steve Carell To Play A Crazy Murderer Posted: 30 Sep 2011 10:20 AM PDT When Steve Carell walked away from The Office to pursue other acting opportunities, a lot of people thought he was crazy. And maybe he is! I mean, look at those eyes. A person could drown in them. Who knows what’s lurking behind those watery brown wonders? Well, now he’s putting all that crazy to good use in a movie about a wealthy murderer called Foxcatcher that is based on a true story. The next project of Moneyball director Bennett Miller, the film tells the story of du Pont scion John du Pont, a paranoid schizophrenic who ended up killing his friend, Olympic gold medal-winning wrestler David Schultz. (The real du Pont died last year in a Pennsylvania prison at age 72.) Carell might seem like an odd choice for this film as he’s primarily known his his comedic skills, but Michael Scott’s character always had a good deal of pathos in addition to the larfs. He was, at base, a fundamentally lonely man with few friends whose primary joy in life came from messing around at the office. And don’t forget Carell’s great performance in Little Miss Sunshine as the title character’s suicidal uncle. I’m fully confident he can pull off the role of the eccentric rich guy with a screw loose. And I don’t think anyone is really over his abandonment of Dunder-Mifflin yet, so this movie had better be fucking Osar-worthy. Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
| Hot Shot: Alex Pettyfer At The Chateau Marmont Posted: 30 Sep 2011 07:12 AM PDT Alex Pettyfer donned some sort of fancy track suit for a night out at the Chateau Marmont on Friday. And it looks like the 21-year-old actor has grown a beard. We’re not worried — it’s pretty much guaranteed that Alex will look swoon-worthy no matter what. Alex has been shooting the male stripper film Magic Mike with Channing Tatum an Matthew McConaughey. The movie looks so great because all those boys are shirtless all the time. Fine cinema for all.

| 5 Facts About Jack Osbourne’s Fiancée Lisa Stelly Posted: 30 Sep 2011 06:49 AM PDT Jack Osbourne is engaged—and it’s his fiancée Lisa Stelly who broke the news. The aspiring actress tweeted about it last night. Surprisingly, there are absolutely no details about how the two met — though we know that Jack’s been spending time behind the camera as a filmmaker — and how he asked her. But we did manage to scrounge up 5 facts about Lisa! 1. Her most well-known role was in Green Day‘s “21 Guns” video. Because their album 21st Century Breakdown is another rock opera, she’s credited as playing Gloria in the opera. 2. She’s kind of a nerd! You find out a lot from a girl’s Facebook page: The Friday Night Lights fan’s profile picture is a Keep Calm and Carry On poster that reads Keep Calm and Coach Taylor; and she’s posted a photo of herself dolled up to look like a Na’vi from Avatar. Our kind of girl! 3. She started out as a model. We can’t tell for which campaigns, but there are plenty of photos on her Facebook, as well as this portfolio uploaded to YouTube: 4. It’s hard to tell, but she might’ve had a rough time of it in previous relationships. The one quote that accompanies every announcement of their engagement is from an insider, who says that Jack “is a great influence on her… It’s just no drama. More stable.” More stable than what? 5. She’s not so cool that she won’t mock other celebrities; in her most recent tweet she joked that Courtney Stodden‘s tweets make her “physically ill but alas I keep reading…” Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
One of the best things about Melissa McCarthy‘s performance in Bridesmaids was that her character Megan was far raunchier and more hilarious than her roles on Gilmore Girls or Mike & Molly. As it turns out, Melissa has a whole bunch of similarly shocking characters up her sleeve—including Marbles, who got her her job on Mike & Molly and who she wants to bring to 
There’s this protest going on in New York City’s Financial District called Occupy Wall Street. Ask anyone in the city, and you’ll hear different explanations for what people are actually protesting: banks, a culture of greed, corporations. They’ve been at it for nearly two weeks, and have inspired copycat protests in San Francisco and Washington, D.C. But there’s one thing that the original group has that the others don’t: Rumor has it that
