Hot Shot: Chace Crawford Attends A Calvin Klein Fragrance Launch, Probably Smells Good

Posted: 07 Oct 2011 10:11 AM PDT

Gossip Girl dreamboat Chace Crawford  hit up the launch party for Calvin Klein’s new men’s fragrance called Shock last night. (Digging the hip fake graffiti, CK!) The event was held at a place called GunBar in NYC’s Meatpacking District, which is a terrible name for a venue if you ask me, but you did not. Chace was joined by other celebs like Joe Jonas and Sky Ferreira.

I have no evidence to prove the theory I put forth in my headline — the theory that Chace Crawford probably smells good — and I don’t know that he’s actually wearing the CK fragrance of the hour. All I know is that Chace Crawford seems like a guy who probably smells terrific. Like, clean and stuff.

Jersey Shore Field Notes: The Motherland

Posted: 07 Oct 2011 09:47 AM PDT

(By an anthropologist)

0:00 – Snooki crawls out of Vinny’s bed at an early hour and rubs her eyes. “What’s that light stuff peeking through the windows?” she wonders. It is daylight which means that Snooki is awake before dusk for the first time in her life. (Diagnosis: Snooki is not a vampire.)

1:30 – Snooki realizes its 7:30 AM. She wakes JWOWW to tell her how early in the morning it is.

2:00 – Snooki and The Situation scream at one another some more about that time they maybe had sex or maybe did not who fucking cares already oh my god, why is this show still on the air?

4:00 – Snooki and JWOWW leave to go get mimosas.

4:30 – Situation calls his friend, whose name is The Unit, to verify that he and Snooki did, in fact, have sex. (Diagnosis: Situation’s friends are all appliances. His ex-girlfriend The Toaster will be flying out next episode.)

6:00 – Sitch concocts an elaborate scheme. He tells Ronnie that he instructed his friend The Unit to call Jionni to tell him about the sex that happened between The Situation and Snooki. Then he tells Sammi and Deena the same thing. His plan here is to figure out which one of them is “the rat,’ meaning the one who’ll relay this information to Snooki. (Note: What?!)

8:30 – Snooki walks through the streets of Florence doing cartwheels. Sees a nun and freaks out and then buys a giant wine.

9:30 – Snooki drops the giant wine and it shatters.

11:00 – The Situation tells Pauly about his scheme. Pauly cackles. The Pinky and the Brain theme song plays, on violin.

12:00 – Sammi reveals herself to be “the rat” by telling Snooki about how Sitch told The Unit to tell Jionni about how Sitch and Snooki had sex, and also by chewing on a dead squirrel.

12:30 – Snooki screams at Sitch. She throws a bottle of champagne at him and it shatters. (Note: If we ever go to war against wine, Snooki is our general.)

13:30 – The Situation tells Snooki that he just told Ronnie that he told the Unit to tell Jionni, and Ronnie told Sammi and now he knows that Sammi told Snooki, but it was just a trick and in reality he didn’t tell The Unit anything. (Note: is this what string theory is?)

15:00 – Snooki sobs.

16:00 – Snooki whines.

16:30 – Dr. Sammi diagnoses Sitch as a “sick individual.”

18:00 – The boys prepare for a trip to Sicily to visit Vinny’s family, the girls will go to Tuscany to tour wine.

19:30 – Vinny thinks Sicily looks like Jusrassic Park with “the trees and the fog and King Kong hiding in the bushes.” (Note: That’s not King Kong in Jurassic Park; that’s Laura Dern.)

21:00 – The female specimens take a tour of a haunted wine cellar.

21:30 – Snooki shrieks.

22:00 – The women sip wine.

23:00 – Snooki burps.

24:00 – Snooki asks for advice about her relationship with Jionni. JWOWW thinks she should move on because Jionni will never forgive her for copulating with Vinny.

25:00 – Snooki regrets copulating with Vinny because she realizes she loves Jionni. (Diagnosis: progress!)

27:00 – Snooki and Deena fall off a motorcycle.

28:00 – Snooki falls asleep on a barrel of wine.

28:30 – JWOWW and Snooki fight. JWOWW tells Snooki not to lie. Snooki says they're not best friends anymore and pulls out her diary, where she draws pictures of penises for an hour.

31:00 – Over in Sicily, four generations of Vinnys eat four generations of pasta.

32:00 – The males sit on a ledge and look out into the sunset and over the beautiful Italian countryside, reflecting. (There is a reflecting pool beneath them.)

32:30 – The females return home to Florence. JWOWW and Snooki are back to being best friends, which means they put their matching necklaces back on.

33:00 – Snooki calls her father to talk about Jionni. Her father explains that Jionni changed his Facebook status to “single.”

34:00 – Snooki calls Jionni to talk and also to yell. Jionni says that Snooki broke his heart. (Translation: liver.)

35:00 – Tells Jionni she hooked up with Vinny, but explains that they did not copulate and only engages in foreplay. Jionni threatens to murder Vinny. He earns the nickname “Foxy Jioxi.”

37:00 – Jionnni tells Snooki he’ll give her another chance.

39:00 – Snooki talks to Vinny about the night they copulated. Vinny talks about how Snooki was horny and kept saying, "fuck me." His dick was cuddling with her vagina is another thing he says.

40:00 – Snooki calls Jionni once more. She tells him that she and Vinny did, in fact, copulate. The Pinky and the Brain theme song plays, on kazoo.

Witness As A Producer From The Soup Gets Transformed Into Courtney Stodden

Posted: 07 Oct 2011 08:29 AM PDT

Who knew makeup artists had such great stories? Mathias Alan, who’s worked on E!’s The Soup for five years, recently blogged on Beauty Etc. about how he transformed E! Networks producer Kelly Levy into child bride Courtney Stodden for a gag on the show.

Even though this blog post is from a makeup artist’s point of view, it’s really accessible because he gets how outrageous Courtney is. So while you and I may not care about which brand of lipliner Mathias used, his descriptions of the makeup’s effects – ”the Courtney Stodden 1980s glam-eye” and “over-the-top, Dynasty drag” — are top-notch.

The final product is incredibly authentic and equally mortifying: Mathias had to use two sets of fake eyelashes and two tracks of blond hair extensions. (He noted that he had to help Kelly get her mic on, because her fake hair kept getting tangled with the other wires.)

Here’s Kelly strutting her stuff for the second time—and bear in mind, this was shot at 9 a.m. the day that the episode was aired! We’re betting that afterwards Kelly wiped off all her greasy makeup and took a well-deserved bath.

And you know what? Courtney approves! The first time The Soup brought out their doppelganger, she tweeted, Sending all of my exotic love & sexual gratitude to the actress who portrayed me on The Soup last night on E! That sounds more like a threat than a thank-you, but for Joel McHale and co, that’s a badge of honor.

You know which imitation we can’t wait to see? Kelly returning as Courtney, with Joel as her creepy older husband Doug Hutchison!

Check Out Beyonce’s ‘Countdown’ Music Video

Posted: 07 Oct 2011 07:44 AM PDT

Beyonce is so pretty and cool and sexy, you guys! Am I telling you something you didn’t already know? Her hotly anticipated video for “Countdown” is finally available for our hungry eyes to take in and it doesn’t disappoint.

The vid is all retro and features a Beyonce who’s so totally pregnant and even cuter for it. The only weird thing is that she sort of looks like Kim Kardashian at some points? Yikes. Best to cut things like that off at the pass.

Cutegreggator: A Whole Bunch Of Different Caterpillars

Caterpillars are so cool. They’re all colorful and fuzzy and weird. I love them! But then they go and turn into stupid dumb butterflies… the nerve of those guys. Here are a bunch of awesome caterpillars pre-butterfly transformation. I have given each of them a fitting name.

Was Patricia Arquette’s Facebook Social Experiment Smart Or Naïve?

Posted: 07 Oct 2011 06:24 AM PDT

Celebrities—you let them out of your sight for a second and they get themselves embroiled in some Facebook stalker drama. That’s the trouble that actress Patricia Arquette‘s security team is dealing with, after the actress decided to embark on a “social experiment” where she took any and all friend requests from strangers. (And yes, that’s her actual profile pic.)

Patricia decided that her Facebook page wouldn’t be a fan page as is the case with most celebrities; her profile would be open to anyone who wanted to friend her. She explained her original aim:

Could a celebrity actually friend strangers and get to know them as a person? Just a regular person ? Could you really become friends? Could you move past all that they had in their mind about you and actually show them the real you? Could you get to know the real them a little?

And in a perfect world, it would work. Dropping these boundaries would leave us with people from two different walks of life, who could still level on most subjects. And at the time of writing this, Patricia counted 2,398 people as “friends.” But about 10 days ago, one of those people began stalking her—probably because of her celebrity. She wouldn’t give any more information, but as she explained in her final Facebook post, she couldn’t afford to be so open with her fans.

To be fair, Patricia is turning this debacle around and is making sure her fans know not to friend anyone they might’ve met on her page. Just because they were on this page doesn’t really mean they are safe!!! she warns in her final note.

Not to worry about keeping in touch with the former Medium star over social media—Patricia is keeping her Twitter profile.

Parting Tweet: Josh Molina Doesn’t Know The Difference Between Dylan McDermott and Dermot Mulroney Either

Posted: 06 Oct 2011 03:35 PM PDT

I have a problem telling the difference between Dylan McDermott and Dermot Mulroney. I really do. Their names and faces are just so similar.

But their asses? Those I know like the back of my hand. Get it together, Josh Molina… your heterosexuality is showing.

Ashley Greene Is Dating My Boyfriend Reeve Carney

Posted: 06 Oct 2011 02:33 PM PDT

Oh my god, Ashley Greene is dating my boyfriend Reeve Carney. The Twilight actress and the Super-Man star have quietly begun a relationship, according to several mean, jerky sources, who should probably just keep their mouths shut. Yahoo’s OMG reports:

“Ashley has been pining after Reeve for a long time. She’s super close with Reeve’s family and loves spending time with Paris, his sister, when they’re both in L.A.”

Oh really, Ashley? Have you been pining after him for a long time? Have you been pining after him since, oh let’s see, 2003, when you saw him walking towards the bookstore beneath the dapple of an oak tree on the first day of your freshman year of college? No? Well, that’s how long I’ve been pining after him, Ashley. That’s how long I have wanted Reeve Carney to be my boyfriend, or at least someone I got to have sex with once or twice in a shitty dorm-room bed.

The only obstacle back then was that I didn’t actually know Reeve’s name. Or anything else about him. Also, I thought he was gay. Nevertheless: Ashley Greene, consider yourself my new nemesis.

Glee Star Harry Shum, Jr.’s Connection To Steve Jobs: He Starred In The Original iPod Commercials

Posted: 06 Oct 2011 02:31 PM PDT

The latest tribute to Steve Jobs comes from an unexpected source: Harry Shum, Jr. (who plays Mike Chang on Glee) revealed that he got his start by dancing for Apple’s iconic ads—the ones where all you see are dancers’ silhouettes as they groove to their bright white iPods. Harry even got the chance to meet Steve, who died yesterday after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.

You should definitely check out the entire post on Harry’s Tumblr, but we’ve excerpted parts. What’s really fun is seeing how at the time he didn’t realize the impact the ads would have:

I was asked to do a test commercial shoot for an Apple product which didn't mean much to me at the time. Some music player that holds all your songs. Sounded cool to me and I never gave up an opportunity to work especially with the possibility of it turning into a national commercial. Coolest job I did in that time. Just for the fact that I was chosen for my dancing and just my dancing alone. It was a silhouette of me so looks and race didn't play into it unlike most of the jobs I would audition for. That job is where I essentially got comfortable freestyling in front of people let alone an intimidating 70 pound camera. I would do hundreds of takes with scrapes and bruises on my knees forming by the minute. Even then I always had the energy to go "one more time" because I just felt that I was part of something innovative.

The experience had two major effects: Harry started getting more jobs based on his dancing, and he gained an appreciation for all of Apple’s products. (He said that at the time of Steve Jobs’ passing, he did own/had owned Macs, iPhones, iPods, and the Apple TV. In fact, the Twitter feed his friend pulled up was on his iPhone.) A few years later, he had the chance to be in the same room as Steve Jobs himself. This anecdote is interesting just to see which projects actors don’t get.

One year, I got a call from my agent asking if I was able to go to San Francisco to perform and open up for Steve Jobs before he hit the stage to announce the new iPod. It was last minute and I would have to leave in a couple of hours. I dropped everything and headed to the airport. I was extremely excited not only for performing at WWDC but the chance to meet Steve Jobs and just shake his hand. I thought the nerd in me was going to explode with excitement until I got a call from my agent telling me to turn around because they decided to axe the performance. I was heartbroken.

He did finally get the chance to shake hands with the Apple CEO at the 2009 Oscars, in part because Harry’s group the LXD (League of Extraordinary Dancers) performed at the show.

I felt confident in going up to him and just saying hi since we have that seven degrees of "iPod" connection. With each step towards him, my hands kept getting sweatier and a nervous sensation came over me. Holy crap, I was getting star struck! As I approached him, I interrupted a conversation he was having with Disney's Bob Iger. I told him about how I did the iPod ads and have always wanted to meet him. I was speaking at 100 mphs and not sure if I was making coherent sentences. He just smiled at me and said, "That's great! Thank you for all your hard work you put into it. Those were great ads."

Steve leaves behind a wife and four children, but he’ll always be remembered through his innovative technology as well as fun, simple-but-effective ads like this one. According to TooFab, this is Harry’s commercial; he’s the guy with the yellow background.
