Chatter Box: Kristen Wiig’s SNL Send-Off Is A Two-Kleenex Affair; Nick Stahl Checks Into Rehab

Snarky Amber — Mon, 21 May 2012 18:00:02 +0000

While I rarely tune in to SNL these days—preferring to let others aggregate the few funny moments of the show into clips for my viewing pleasure on Monday morning—Kristen Wiig’s send-off on SNL was worth catching this weekend. Guest host and musical guest Mick Jagger sang “She’s A Rainbow” and “Ruby Tuesday” as the cast [...]

Kudos And Boodos; Celebrity Dad Videos Of The Weekend

Anymommy — Mon, 21 May 2012 17:00:40 +0000

Before we begin with the celebrity videos that rocked my world this weekend, let’s discuss the term “boodos.” Urban dictionary swears boodos is the opposite of kudos, but I’m not sure I’m smelling what they’re stepping in on this one. Is it a real word? Can you add “boo” to any word and make it [...]

Cady Eimer (WHO?) Nabs Billboard Awards Date With Justin Bieber

Josette — Mon, 21 May 2012 16:00:01 +0000

Who the hell is Cady Eimer? Last night I was cruising around Twitter, checking out who and what was trending internationally. (I’m a reporter. It’s my job. Next.) Of course – and sadly – Robin Gibb showed up on every list. Billboard Music Awards held steady. #DagelijkseDingen was hot in the Netherlands, and all the [...]

Kristine — Mon, 21 May 2012 15:00:21 +0000

Apparently the 2012 Billboard Music Awards were on last night, which sounds about right since I’m typically the last one to know about the most ragin’ parties. So, when I started clicking through some of the images from the red carpet, I was expecting to see some awesome dresses (lookin’ at you Carrie Underwood & [...]

Robin Gibb Dies At 62

Kelly Q — Mon, 21 May 2012 14:00:25 +0000

Robin Gibb, 33.3% of the BeeGees, died Sunday afternoon from cancer and complications from an intestinal surgery. In 2011, Robin was taken to the hospital for “intestinal problems,” the same thing that killed his brother in 2003. The twin brothers suffered from the same congenital defect; their small intestines were twisted. He is reported to [...]

Celebrities Take A Dry Run At This Parenting Gig With Fuzzy Wuzzy Pets

Kristine — Mon, 21 May 2012 12:00:23 +0000

Listen, we all know that Hollywood has some pretty adorable, well-dressed, and ridiculously-named offspring. But I don’t think we’ve been spending NEARLY enough time discussing the furry children living with the stars. Because if there’s anything to be made of Coco’s existence on this planet, it’s to be made aware that dog owners are parents, [...]

HULK SMASH ON TV!!!!

Jason — Fri, 18 May 2012 18:43:55 +0000

While it’s not surprising that The Avengers has literally made a billion dollars in its first few weeks, what IS a bit surprising is that the movie’s breakout superhero was The Hulk. Mark Ruffalo was great as Big Green/Bruce Banner; he has one of the movie’s best lines and the two best scenes (two sight [...]

The New ‘Sesame Street’ Makes Me Crotchety

Molly — Fri, 18 May 2012 16:00:22 +0000

Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street? Because surely this excessively animated cavalcade of watered-down toddler pandering is not my beloved Sesame Street. Sure, I’m getting old (34 is the new 80 AND I LIKE IT). Sure, I’m a wee bit biased, having been raised on cartoons, references, and super 70s goodness that [...]

Facebook Goes Public – Let’s All Gets Paid!!!

Justin — Fri, 18 May 2012 15:00:04 +0000

Alright, folks, let’s get the boring, financial mumbo-jumbo out the way straight off: Facebook is finally going public today by selling initial shares of the company at around $38.00 a pop. At its very basic, that means you can buy a very, very tiny piece of the company for less than $40.00. But at its [...]

You Sank My Battleship And Respect: Humiliating Kids With Classic Games

Noa — Fri, 18 May 2012 14:00:02 +0000

Battleship unnecessarily shoves itself into theaters today, much to the sadness of every person who has ever played Battleship. Or persons who have seen Rihanna and are sad that she exists. Or persons who value their souls. Just like every other crappy movie that’s produced these days, your kids can’t wait to go see it. [...]

Bullying on Reality TV: The Bad and Very Ugly

Heather B — Wed, 16 May 2012 18:00:35 +0000

As a diehard fan of reality television I am also cognizant of the ‘real’ to ‘staged’ ratio. These shows put people of differing backgrounds in unlikely situations and then let them have it. Fingers crossed that conflict arises and viewership goes up. It’s a tale as old as time, or at least as old as [...]

Well. This is weird. TMZ reports that Nick Stahl, whom you may remember from such films as Terminator 3, Sin City, The Thin Red Line…or maybe even as the little boy in The Man Without A Face, has gone missing. His wife Rose filed a missing person report with the LAPD. He was possibly last [...]

Earl The Butcher — Wed, 16 May 2012 15:00:12 +0000

Last September, as I suffered through a back-to-school night in my daughter’s first grade classroom, a small, in-app pop-up alert came across my iPhone. It said, “achievement unlocked. 30 total hours logged!” That app was Angry Birds, and that alert ranks as one of the lowest moments in my life, second only to the time in 1989 [...]
