I’m a South Park fan and normally find the show laugh-out-loud, pee-my-pants funny. But last night’s episode was totally depressing and, for once, despite the utter ridiculousness of the plot, kind of freakishly accurate. In the episode, Britney Spears comes to South Park, trying to escape the paparazzi that have been hounding her — she blows her head off when she realizes that she’ll never be left alone, but miraculously lives, only minus about 90% of her cranium. Stan and Kyle try and keep the paparazzi away from her, but pretty soon the entire town of South Park jumps in the fray because killing Britney is a necessary human sacrifice in order for there to be a bountiful corn harvest. Seriously. Just think about the depth of that. Then go get a little teary in the bathroom, like I did. [Comedy Central: South Park] Keep reading »
Profile for Amelia McDonell-Parry
Hot Or Not? Leather Leggings
We’re big freaks for tights here at The Frisky — no matter the pattern, chances are Amelia, Catherine, Simcha, and Emily are rocking a pair at least three days out of the week (during the winter, of course). But what about leather (or lame and latex) leggings and tights? The leg wear has been seen on everyone from Lindsay Lohan to Frisky Patron Saint Rihanna, but our normally adventurous stems can’t quite wrap get with the Jazzercize look. Catherine says she only finds them acceptable on Rihanna, because she’s the awesomest, but finds them unwearable on regular folk. What do you think? Also, what happens if you get all sweaty in them? We’re reminded of that episode of Friends when Ross wears leather pants on a date and then can’t get out of them because he’s so sweaty, eventually dumping talcum powder all over himself while hiding in the bathroom. So funny. [My Fashion Life] Keep reading »
Celebrity Sex Dolls Make Us Barfy
They say one of the signs that you’ve “made it” as a celebrity is when you have your own action figure — but what about your own sex doll? Sarah Jessica Parker, Jessica Alba, Eva Longoria, and Lindsay Lohan’s likenesses are among those that have been replicated as blow-up “love” dolls. Of course, since none of these women have authorized these products, the dolls only use their first names. The Lindsay Fully Loaded Love Doll bears the slogan, “She’s no love bug, she’s a fiery red … who never says no and is always up for a good time.” If your idea of a good time is being a complete loser and humping an inanimate object that you can pop with a thumbtack, that is.

Star Couplings: Double The Brangelina Babies!
Dear Abby Diddles In Disturbing Territory
We take Dear Abby’s advice with a grain of salt, but this doozie takes the cake. “Enraged In Rochester” writes that during a visit to his family’s home, he and his wife slept in separate bedrooms. “The next day, while we were driving home, Marybeth told me she was glad I had come to her room after all and made love to her.” But! “Abby, it wasn’t me! She had mistaken one of my brothers for me in the darkness. We are all about the same size and build.” Furthermore, none of his brothers has ‘fessed up to the crime and Enraged hasn’t told his wife that he wasn’t her midnight caller.
What Does It Mean To Be “Whipped”?
No, not literally, silly — like, in the sense where you’re a man and your lady has you wrapped around her little finger…or something? We ask because GQ has put together such a lovely slideshow of famous men who are, in their view, whipped by their wives (or husbands, in the case of Elton John and David Furnish). Included on the list are Guy Ritchie (Madonna got him into Kaballah and, maybe, strap-ons), Ashton Kutcher (he gushed about wife, Demi Moore, in interviews, the wimp), Ben Stiller (Christine Taylor always scores roles in his terrible movies), and John Edwards (Elizabeth defended him when Ann Coulter called him a f*ggot). Honestly, we don’t get it — is it that the men are very supportive of their wives’ endeavors? That they genuinely think they’re cool, talented, and funny? That they don’t get to make all the decisions? Or maybe it’s that they’re super smart, as is especially the case with Catherine Zeta-Jones, who arranged for a pre-nup before marrying Michael Douglas that ensured her $5 million dollars if he ever cheated.

Widow’s Voice Lives On
Oh, the wonderful world of telecommunications! Verizon dug up an old phone message left by 80-year old Charles Whiting’s wife, Catherine, recorded before her death in 2005. After she passed, Whiting would listen to his wife’s voice on their voicemail for comfort — but when Verizon upgraded the system, the message was erased. The company managed to find the recording in their archive and restored it for Whiting’s listening pleasure. May we recommend making a second copy on a handy-dandy tape recorder, just in case?

Hillary Clinton Was Within 1000 Feet Of The Oval Office Bathroom On Blue-Dress-Stain Day!
The news wires are all abuzz because a review of Senator Clinton’s just released-schedule during her eight years as First Lady reveals that she had appointments at the White House on the day her husband, President Bill, had oral sex with Monica Lewinsky. OMG? We’re not sure what the big deal is, other than President Clinton clearly really wasn’t worried about getting caught — by the press, his staff, or his wife. That said, the White House is a big ol’ manse, so we’re pretty sure Hillary couldn’t hear any suspicious sounds coming from the Oval Office bathroom while she was makin’ a sandwich in the White House kitchen.

Frisky Quote Of The Day: Sarah Jessica Parker in Grazia Magazine
“It’s so brutal in a way, so filled with rage and anger…. Do I have big fake boobs, Botox and big lips? No. Do I fit some ideals and standards of some men writing in a men’s magazine? Maybe not. Am I really the unsexiest women in the world? Wow! It’s kind of shocking…It’s condemnation, it’s insane. What can I do? I guess you can’t please all people.” — Sarah Jessica Parker to Grazia magazine about Maxim naming her the Unsexiest Woman In The World Keep reading »
