Oxygen gets

Hey Zazzers, if inner beauty is your thing then you might want to check out Pretty Wicked on Oxygen, the network’s first competition reality series.
At first the ladies are rude as rude can be but soon are in for an equally rude awakening. The show is unlike other reality shows in that the contestants are challenged to confront their mean spirited ways.
Although Botox and bosoms are abound the ladies are challenged to ‘beautify’ their insides—it’s not so much about prettying-up their pancreases as much it’s about challenging them to eat …

2: affected with twattoholism
<Hello my name is Bill and I’m a twattoholic>
Not since The Funniest White House Correspondents’ Dinner Speaker himself dropped ‘truthiness’ onto the turntable of sociolinguistics has there been a word that captures the essence of the times so eloquently: Twatted is Colbert’s latest entry to the lexicon of life. A twattoholic, therefore, is a person addicted to reading tweets which have been twatted.
If you’re addicted to Twitter, rejoyce. Otherwise check some …

Slash Teaches Kids Finer Points of Rockstar Awesomeness

WARNING: For Prepubescent Audiences Only! If you are uncomfortable viewing sweet, heart-warming video content then direct your browser elsewhere!!
Well, he didn’t show them how to knock back a bottle of Jack or even how to properly choose among a gaggle of groupies but Slash did show these middle school kids a few licks. Check out the vid and see how much more awkward an awkward tween acts when jamming with Mr. Brownstone.

Shot ‘n Chopped On Spring Break

Not since Lucky Day, Dusty Bottoms and Ned Nederlander bested El Guapo & Co. down in sunny Santo Poco has there been such rampant violence aimed towards Gringos than what’s happening right now to American college students searching for weed and White Castle in Puerto Vallarta.
According to local authorities, Mexican drug cartels are planning to scare away ‘Los Spring Breakers’ with threats of shipping their severed heads in Playmate coolers back to the States if they in fact cross the border. Apparently Mexico and its drug lords are at war.
Instead …

Milking Madea

Tyler Perry loves old people. For the past few years the 39-year old has paraded his 73-year old Madea character around on stage, sent her to a family reunion and a subsequent class reunion, then whisked her off to meet the Browns and now, by all appearances, the multifaceted actor/writer/director/producer/movie title prefix is shipping his Southern grandma off to—cue the timpanis of creativity—jail.
As out of the box as that plotline is I’m sure Perry’s love for the elderly could blossom into even more hilarious motion pictures.  I see his genius …

Chances are that your significant other is serving you a romantic breakfast in bed this morning.  I, on the other hand, am being served the ‘Lover’s Concerto for One’ at Bob Evans.

Madge Gone Haywire

Okay so another story from the ‘Who Gives A !*@#?’ file: some anonymous bidder laid out $37,500 for a full frontal nude photo of a young Bea Arthur Madonna. Yeah sure it says a lot for the Queen of Pop but it says even more for the photographer—if you find the un-cropped version of this photo you’ll know why—dude’s obviously a master gardener as well.
A few other items $37,500 can buy are Mitsubishi’s iMiev electric car, a house in Costa Rica or a really really good defense attorney (for …

The Birth of The Journalebrity

When did television journalists become television celebrities?  I don’t know if it’s their great teeth, nice clothes or the fact that they all pose like hard-asses that’s given them this sense of entitlement (except for Gumble, he looks like a cupcake:-). And I’m not talking about Geraldo using a precious prime-time slot to break into Al Capone’s vault either, or even Connie Chung singing Thanks for the Memory.
If you have no friggin’ idea where it is I’m coming from then consider yourself lucky. But if you were one of the …

Mikey Likey!

Dude said “bad judgment” lead him to rip a hit at The University of South Carolina in November. Mikey even went on to make a promise in a released statement to Speedo, Visa, Omega, Hilton Hotels, PowerBar, AT&T, Kellogg Co., Rosetta Stone, PureSport and SwimRoom.com his fans that it won’t ever happen again. Ever. Not sure if he was referring to getting stoned, or getting stoned next to some schmuck with a digital camera.
Experts say that in order for Phelps to maintain his squeaky-clean All-American image he must open an …

Crash Survivor Vows to Lose 20 lbs, Learn French

Okay so I was wrong. Way wrong. After the miracle crash landing of US Airways flight 1549 in the Hudson River I was sure that at least one of its 115 survivors would score a book deal or movie of the week. Alas, my faith in humanity has been restored thanks to one Greg Lorentino (above), a passenger aboard the downed flight who recently told Larry King that he wants to cash in on his “new lease on life” by learning how to properly order for he and his wife …
