| The 14 Best Faces Of Rejected Bachelorettes Posted: 04 Jan 2012 11:59 AM PST Of all the shows on television that might as well be titled “Pretty Girls Crying,” The Bachelor is one of the most consistent. Week after week, that promise is delivered on in the form of footage of young women with low self-esteem who’ve just been rejected by a man they believe to be their potential soul mate. The schadenfreude blog (or is it a fetish blog?) Faces Of Rejected Bachelorettes has been amassing screenshots of these moments for some time now. Here are some of the best (worst?) ones.

| Let’s Get Bored To Death Back: Sign The Petition Posted: 04 Jan 2012 11:31 AM PST
Written by Jonathan Ames, the show followed the adventures of three friends: Jonathan Ames (Jason Schwartzman), Ray Hueston (Zach Galifianakis) and George Christopher (Ted Danson). The premise was quirky and sometimes the situations were ridiculous, but it was hard not to laugh at the overly sweet struggling writer Jonathan, who worked as an unprofessional, part-time private detective. Yes, he had an ad on Craigslist looking for clients. When the decision from HBO came down there was great weeping, especially in the streets of Brooklyn where the show had been filming for the past three seasons. Creator and writer, Ames even held a memorial service for the show just days after the news at Brooklyn Inn so fans could come and mourn their loss together. So what do die-hard fans do now that the show is kaput? They put together a petition for fellow fans to sign in the hopes that it will get Bored to Death back on air. Hey, it worked for getting Betty White on Saturday Night Live, so why shouldn’t it work here, too? Both Change.org and iPetition are sites where fans can go to “fight” for their show, but sadly the numbers aren’t as high as they should be if it’s going to make a difference for the executives over at HBO. What can you do? Well, you can sign the petition to get it back. Granted we’re in the midst of an election year so there are far more important issues on the table, but considering what happened in Iowa last night, we need funny and clever shows more than ever. Never seen it? Well, that’s what Netflix is for, silly goose. Have an aversion to Danson since he left Cheers? No worries. The Danson you’ll see in Bored to Death is one of the funniest (and most stoned) characters to grace television. Can’t think of Galifianakis as anyone else besides Alan in The Hangover? Just wait until you see him as the sex and cock-obsessed illustrator in Bored to Death. And after his performance in several movies–including the phenomenal Rushmore–there’s really no point in beating to death all the reasons Schwartzman is fantastic and should be awarded some sort of medal just for being alive. So whether you have or haven’t seen it, you should get your act in gear and sign the petition to get Bored to Death back on the tube. If you won’t do it for yourself, then do it for the fans everywhere. At some point it’s just going to get downright creepy if every other signature belongs to me.

| Sinead O’Connor Gets Back With Estranged Husband, Tweets More Inappropriate Things Posted: 04 Jan 2012 11:09 AM PST Well, that was fast. Just one week after announcing the end of her two-week marriage to Barry Herridge, Sinead O’Connor is back in the saddle. The sex saddle. We know this because she has been tweeting about it, sometimes with amusing typographical errors (or are they Freudian slips?). Check it out: Nine other than husband, eh? Sounds tiring. I give up! Won’t you tell me? So they are going to be boyfriend and girlfriend…who are also married to each other. Isn’t that called “husband and wife”? She might have her issues with the church, but Sinead O’Connor still manages to bring God into her sex life like only a true Catholic could. What does “panto” mean here? Do I even want to know? And now she has transformed into a cave woman, to match. In their own insane way, these tweets are actually quite sweet. Let’s hope these crazy kids can make it work this time around.

| Here’s Your Second Chance To See The Upside Down Trailer Posted: 04 Jan 2012 11:06 AM PST A few days ago, we posted the first trailer for Jim Sturgess and Kirsten Dunst‘s lovers-separated-by-gravity drama Upside Down. But in the intervening time the studio has yanked the video, maybe because it’s an early released version (the subtitles are in French, after all). Thankfully, we’ve tracked down a new version! Well, “old” technically since it’s the same trailer—but you’ll need to watch it several more times in order to disentangle the fascinating threads: How the worlds are separated by gravity, Adam and Eve’s forbidden love, and Adam’s crazy scheme to fit in with the “Up Above” hoi-polloi. For instance, I never noticed how gorgeous the score is. It sounds like something out of Inception or Gattaca, yet it’s still different. In fact, many of the sequences from this trailer mirror Inception: Guy in a suit bouncing around the walls, buildings crumbling around a couple who shouldn’t be there, hurtling toward what should be certain death but isn’t because of the strange laws of the universe. So, enjoy! Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
| Posted: 04 Jan 2012 11:21 AM PST Aimee Teegarden is one of those actresses whose shift from TV to film is still in the little-duckling stages: Of course you know her from playing Julie Taylor on Friday Night Lights, but her big-screen debut in Scream 4 was overshadowed by Emma Roberts. (Not to mention that her starring role did little to save Disney’s Prom.) She’s got a new movie out this Friday, the thriller Beneath the Darkness, but if we’re being honest we’ll acknowledge that for the moment her fashion choices are more compelling than her projects. And there’s nothing wrong with that! All of her red-carpet looks have been polished, fun, and the opposite of skanky. Plus, she’s a bit chestier than her Hollywood contemporaries and still manages to dress to flatter her figure. If anything, I’d like to see more candid photos of her fashion choices!

| Are Chris Brown And Rihanna Getting Back Together? Posted: 04 Jan 2012 10:57 AM PST Some suggestive tweets from Rihanna‘s twitter account have touched off a gossip investigation on the part of The Sun to find out if the 23-year-old singer is back together with her abusive ex Chris Brown. I’m not sure it’s gone that far, but at the very least, there’s some inappropriate shit going on. “How can you lie to her, while u lay with me???” Rihanna tweeted the other night, supposedly after seeing Chris Brown out with model Karrueche Tran at a Las Vegas party. Since then, she’s sent out a couple more amorous tweets that could be about anyone, but which gossip cops are taking to obviously be about Chris Brown. “Despite everything that has happened RiRi has not stopped loving Chris,” a “source” told The Sun. “They have been in constant contact for some time and things seemed to be stepping up a gear in recent weeks. Many thought these public declarations of love on Twitter were paving the way for an official reconciliation.”  Perhaps even more distressing than the possibility that Rihanna is reconciling with the guy who beat the shit out of her is that fact that few of Brown’s young fans seem to care about the incident anymore. A recent story on NPR revealed that a good 50% of urban youth surveyed in Boston believe that Rihanna was at least partly to blame for the abuse. Quotes gathered from young fans outside a Chris Brown concert in Baltimore modeled some disturbing thinking, as well. “Obviously she played a part in getting beat, or whatever,” one fan told NPR. “However you want to put it.” This is especially problematic in light of the fact that many Chris Brown and Rihanna fans fall into a demographic that suffers from domestic violence at elevated rates: young black women. I’m not saying it’s Rihanna’s job to teach better lessons, but this should be a wake up call to those actually charged with teaching health classes and the like. Rather than count on celebrities to model healthy behavior, educators should take this as a sign that they need to do a better job teaching kids about abusive relationships, misogynistic culture, and victim-blaming.

| 10 Things James Franco Should Do Instead Of Writing Another Book Posted: 04 Jan 2012 10:00 AM PST
The novel, Actors Anonymous, will be published by Amazon and is supposed to be a fictionalized account of Franco’s trials and tribulations as an actor. He’s done everything else, so he might as well tackle this end of the art world as well. However, since he’s made it clear with this last attempt that writing isn’t exactly his forte, we’ve decided to a make a list of 10 suggestions for the darling for which he may be better suited. Besides self-involved fawning, of course. Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
| Solve Two New Year’s Resolutions With One Move: Monthly Beauty Samples From Birchbox Posted: 04 Jan 2012 09:47 AM PST We’re sure that, just a few days into the New Year, your Facebook newsfeed is plastered with your friends’ resolutions—long, rambling notes about working out X times a week, creating a witty Halloween costume more than a week before October 31, starting a fight so that Ryan Gosling will break it up. Clearly, these are far too ambitious, and the most successful New Year’s resolutions are the bite-size ones that you can manage without feeling like you committed yourself to an impossible, life-changing task. For instance, trying out (and gifting) sample beauty products. That’s where Birchbox comes in. For $10 a month, you get a box of beauty product samples sent to you to try. We’re talking luxury brands, anything from make-up to moisturizer to perfume. You get 4-5 samples a month, after filling out a Beauty Profile for a more streamlined selection in each package. For the pieces you love, you can pick up full-sized versions in the Birchbox store. Plus, there are expert videos showing you how to make the most out of your new goodies. Maybe one of your resolutions is the frustratingly vague “look and feel better.” Daunting, right? Start small with a new eyeshadow, smoother skin, shinier hair. You’ll feel better immediately. And how about coming up with inexpensive, thoughtful presents? I know that this past Christmas I failed at handing out more than (charmingly decorated) IOUs. We get it—you’re overworked, underpaid, and drowning in class readings/emergency shifts at your job. But with birthdays approaching and Single Awareness Day coming up in just six weeks, you want to still show your girlfriends, mothers, and sisters how much they mean to you. Birchbox has three-, six-, and twelve-month gifting options depending on your budget. Get a Birchbox subscription for you or someone you care about right now, by following this link.

| Brooke Meets Her Dad In New Photos From The One Tree Hill Season 9 Premiere Posted: 04 Jan 2012 09:35 AM PST It’s T-minus one week from the premiere of One Tree Hill‘s final season! And to get you excited (slash make the next seven days even more unbearable), Hollywood Life posted some new photos of the reunion between fan favorite Brooke Davis (Sophia Bush) and a character we’ve never met before… her dad! Part of what made Brooke so self-reliant in the high-school seasons was that both of her parents were constantly away, leaving her to throw lavish house parties and bring all manner of dangerous boys back to her empty house. Once the show jumped forward five years in season 5, we were shocked to learn that fashion designer Brooke was working for her fearsome mother Victoria (Daphne Zuniga). Now that Brooke has mostly settled down from her wild-child ways and started a family with Julian (Austin Nichols), it makes sense that she and her dad would reconcile. Playing Mr. Davis is Richard Burgi, who you might recognize from recent guest spots on Chuck and Castle, not to mention a six-year role on Desperate Housewives as Karl Mayer, Susan’s (Teri Hatcher) troublesome ex. Even though this is the first time we’re seeing Mr. Davis on-screen, his impact has been felt in the series for years: As early as season 2, he loses his job and suddenly Tree Hill’s queen bee doesn’t have any money. This was the start of a humbler, more hardworking Brooke, which I think is part of what made her the show’s sweetheart. (Especially after Chad Michael Murray and Hilarie Burton left the show, although he’s coming back for a few episodes this season!) According to Wikipedia, Brooke’s major plotline this season will be running Karen’s Cafe with Haley (Bethany Joy Galeotti), and dealing with the competition; one of the teaser videos showed her vandalizing a rival cafe. It’s unclear what prompts Mr. Davis to return, but perhaps because he wasn’t at Brooke and Julian’s wedding — and since these photos seem to be set in a church, with the twins Davis and Jude in adorable little suits — the two are renewing their vows with all of their parents in attendance. Yep, we’re definitely counting down the days til the season 9 premiere “Know This, We’ve Noticed”! Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |

On December 20th, 2011 HBO did the unthinkable and 
Artiste, director, student, stoner, and actor James Franco is once again trying to infect the world with his “brilliance.” Since Franco’s short story collection Palo Alto was pretty much panned for being an utter piece of shit, he’s decided to have another go at it, but this time he’s writing a novel.
