| The Secret Circle Cast Picks Secret Santa Gifts Posted: 21 Dec 2011 11:37 AM PST The following is a guest post from our friends at Luckymag.com. From The Craft to Charmed, we’ve always had a thing for witches (and not just because a dramatic black dress will never go out of style). The Secret Circle, the CW series which began airing this fall, is no exception. The twisty drama hinges on an orphan named Cassie Blake (Britt Robertson) who moves in with her grandmother in the small town of Chance Harbor. Her group of newly acquired friends—including Faye, Diana, Melissa, Nick and Adam—reveal that they (Cassie included) are all descendants of powerful witches and belong to a group called the Secret Circle. As her relationships with members of the circle begin to strengthen, she learns how to unlock incredible powers. She also stumbles across some shocking information that reveals her dangerous destiny. Hooked, yet? So while holiday shopping may not require black magic, we thought it was fitting to ask the show’s leading ladies to offer up some gift tricks, particularly when it comes to picking Secret Santa presents. After all, not all witchery is supernatural—some is learned. Check out the rest of the Secret Santa gifts from Shelley Hennig and Jessica Parker Kennedy here.

| Video: Justin Bieber Is Pretty Good At Freestyling Posted: 21 Dec 2011 11:36 AM PST Did you know that Justin Bieber could freestyle? It’s true! He stopped by the studio for an interview with Las Vegas radio personality Bootleg Kev last week to give a boring interview and drop a few rhymes over The Notorious B.I.G.’s “Who Shot Ya,” and now there’s video to prove it. Bootleg Kev posted the video on his blog alongside this introduction:
His flow isn’t perfect, but it’s far and away the most impressive thing I’ve ever seen this kid do. What other talents does Justin Bieber have that I don’t know about? I feel like he might be holding out on us. (Via Bootlegkev) Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
| Hot Shot: Hunter Parrish Is One Very Handsome Elf Posted: 21 Dec 2011 11:02 AM PST Not you too, Hunter Parrish! Between Matthew Gray Gubler and this, I think I might die of festive handsomeness today. The Weeds cutie was recently snapped wearing an elf hat as he arrived at Broadway’s Circle In The Square theater, where he’s currently appearing in a production of Godspell as…wait for it…Jesus. And there’s video! Here’s Hunter and the gang doing some songs from the rock musical on The Rosie O’Donnell Show: And here’s a video of him talking to Rosie about it (I love how she’s still calling people “cutie patooties”): I happen to think musicals are kind of The Worst, but Silas can do no wrong.

| You Can Help Fund Improv Everywhere’s Documentary (Which Features Aubrey Plaza And Nick Kroll) Posted: 21 Dec 2011 10:25 AM PST You may not recognize Improv Everywhere by name, but you know their pranks: They’re the guys responsible for that great video of Darth Vader interrogating Princess Leia on the New York subway, the surprise wedding reception for a random pair of newlyweds, or the annual No Pants Subway Ride. The NYC-based group is now releasing a documentary about the over 100 missions they’ve pulled off in the last ten years. And just as with their flash mobs and other undertakings, they need your help to make this happen. Director Matt Adams has set up a Kickstarter to get the doc made; though post-production costs have already been donated, they’re going to need $125,000 by the end of January to get this film out to festivals by March 2013 as planned. Backers get anything from a digital copy of the film to IE T-shirts to hours of footage with the doc’s celebrity participants. Did we mention that famous faces like Nick Kroll and Aubrey Plaza have participated in past pranks? These normally unflappable stars have found themselves terrified when freezing in place or joining a flash mob. Here’s the teaser trailer, with commentary from everyone involved in the process, including founder Charlie Todd: As one of the people in the video says, “You can be just a part of the background one second, and then boom! You’re a part of this happening.” Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
| Surprise: Kardashian Produkts Are Made In Chinese Sweat Shops Posted: 21 Dec 2011 10:15 AM PST When Charles Kernaghan, the executive director of the Institute for Global Labour and Human Rights, said “The Kardashians are in bed with some pretty bad people,” he wasn’t talking about Scott Disick. According to an exposé by Star Magazine, in addition to committing crimes against fashion, certain products promoted by the Kardashian family come from factories that commit egregious human rights abuses. Whoops. According to Star, items from the family’s K-Dash by Kardashian label, the Kris Jenner Kollection (those extra Ks will never cease to make me unkomfortable) and Kim‘s shoe company Shoedazzle come from factories in the Guangdong region of China where workers as young as 16 are forced to work in “minimum security prison”-like conditions. Among other things, the workers “live in squalid factory-run dormitories filled with the stench of sewage while toiling up to 84 hours during seven-day work weeks.” They earn as little as $1/hour and make as little as $15/month once room and board have been deducted. Temperatures inside the non-air conditioned factories can reach 100 degrees Fahrenheit. And they don’t even get sufficient bathroom breaks! In contrast, the Kardashians take in a cool $65 million/year, which is kind of insane. What can be done to save their sparkling reputation? Kernaghan to the rescue:
Indeed! I can’t wait for Kim’s tearful apology and protestations that she “had no idea.” (Via Radar) Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
| Watch Jib Jab’s Annual Year-In-Review Video Posted: 21 Dec 2011 09:51 AM PST Oh, what a year you were, 2011. Some notable events include Charlie Sheen‘s big meltdown, the Arnold Schwarzenegger scandal, Occupy Wall Street, the death of folks like Amy Winehouse and Steve Jobs… oh, and I got a bunch of new Twitter followers! Anyway, it’s all here in Jib Jab’s yearly events-animated video, in a two-minute trot down memory lane. Hey, guys, remember when the world didn’t end this year! Something great to reminisce about.

| R. Kelly Has Written 32 New Chapters Of His Hip Hopera ‘Trapped In The Closet’ Posted: 21 Dec 2011 09:39 AM PST
Adding the new chapters would rack us up to 54 mini-chapters; each is a music video about three minutes long. However, R. Kelly needs a financial backer to film the next chapters, and he needs it soon. “You guys need to find out what The Package is,” he told the gossip site; in the film, it’s assumed to be HIV/AIDS, but with this new quote it might be something else entirely. According to my boyfriend, who regularly quotes this masterpiece, a good video to sum up the utter wackiness of this series is Episode 10: Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
| The Daily WTF: Everyone Wants To Give You Money For Weed Posted: 21 Dec 2011 09:30 AM PST Need a little extra spending cash this month? Forget a second job, just grab a marker and a piece of cardboard and make a sign begging for marijuana money. It works for Josh Long (also known as the Weed Man), the dude in the photo. From the New York Times:
Holy damn, that’s a good haul! Evidently, the police are pretty prone to harassing Josh, however — but it’s probably just because they make less than him. (via Gawker) Post from: Crushable  |
| Posted: 21 Dec 2011 09:01 AM PST Rooney Mara‘s Girl with the Dragon Tattoo character has become an unlikely fashion icon, starring in an H&M line inspired by her wardrobe. And Rooney herself has become quite a high fashion symbol herself — the interesting thing about her industrial hoodies-and-leather onscreen character look is that it’s super conducive to stylish ensembles offscreen. Rooney’s been wearing couture with cut-outs and lots of slinky black on the red carpet and in magazines and she looks great always. Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
| The Atlanta Braves Are Challenging The Trademark On Disney/Pixar’s New Movie Brave Posted: 21 Dec 2011 08:46 AM PST
The Braves really are splitting hairs here. They’ve laid claim to the plural form of the word, which Slashfilm points out is a noun meaning a warrior, but copyright claims differentiate between singular and plural. Despite this, they still claim that their fans refer to individual players on the team as a Brave. Stitch Kingdom, who broke the story, did some research and found that there is no Braves merchandise with just “Brave” written on it, save for an out-of-print picture book. Brave is actually the second title for the Disney/Pixar film about the skilled archer Merida, who defies an ages-old custom in her native Scotland and must undo an unfortunate wish she made. The project was originally called The Bear and the Bow, but the studio switched to the more marketable, single-word title a few months ago. The Atlanta baseball club believes that “that damages will occur as a result of Disney's trademarks being approved” because their fans will be too confused by two entirely different entities with the same name. We wonder if they would feel the same if the film were about a brave boy? Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
It’s a Christmas miracle! 
This is ridiculous. The Atlanta National League Baseball Club, which owns the Atlanta Braves, is challenging Disney/Pixar for their copyright application for the word “brave”: The studio needs the trademark to promote their new movie Brave, but the Braves claim that they got there first and furthermore, fans will be confused by the movie’s relation to the baseball team.| You are subscribed to email updates from Crushable To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
