Ami AngelowiczDecember 3, 2009 //

If you want to escape your real love life, why not get lost in the pages of a great book … with a sexy leading man? I mean who hasn’t wished that they were coming home to Mr. Darcy after a long, stressful day? Asylum compiled a list of their 15 most sex-worthy ladies of literature after reading Lemondrop’s top 15 most do-able literary men. But I think they forgot a few characters with whom you might really want to curl up in bed. After the jump, 10 more fictional characters we really, really wish were real. So we could bone them. Sometimes it pays to be an avid reader. Keep reading »

Brave New Alcohol: Vodka Pills?

Ami AngelowiczDecember 2, 2009 //

It looks like I may finally have a reason to become a pill popper! Russian scientists have developed a technique that turns alcohol into powder that can be eaten or snorted or packed into a pill form. Translation: alcohol pills are coming soon to a liquor store near you! Whatever your drink of choice is, the technique can solidify all kinds of alcohol, including whiskey, vodka, wine and beer. Think about it. Take your vodka pills to the party or anxiety-provoking family gathering—pop the required dosage for buzzed but not sloppy, and skip the excessive calories, stinky breath, stupid spills, and frequent peeing. It sounds almost too good to be true. But the question on everyone’s mind? Can you also skip the hangover? I’m hoping so. Do I smell a Nobel Prize? [Neatorama] Keep reading »

Next On The List Of Exploitative Reality TV … Disabled Models?

Ami AngelowiczDecember 2, 2009 //

Do we really need yet another modeling reality TV show clogging the airwaves? I was seriously disturbed when I heard about BBC America’s new reality TV series, “Britain’s Missing Top Model.” The show gives disabled models a chance to compete for a spread in Marie Claire UK. The premise of the show seems cruel and unusual to the core—to boost the acceptance of disabled women in an industry that is based solely on physical perfection. Can you say “pleading for rejection and humiliation”? This merciless irony plays out in the show over and over again. A photographer says of contestant Rebecca, a 27-year-old with a prosthetic leg, “Rebecca’s disability didn’t cause me any problems. It was just the fact she’s not really in shape.” So, aside from learning to model with a prosthetic leg, Rebecca must also be crazy thin? And it gets worse. In a scene where a contestant with a stump models lacy lingerie in a store window, a young man comments, “She’s beautiful, so she’s got nothing to hide.” But a middle-aged woman adds, “But if it’s to sell something like lingerie I think people are going to be troubled.” Keep reading »

Shun, Shag, Or Marry? This Month’s Blockbuster Directors

Ami AngelowiczDecember 1, 2009 //

It was a super hot week for Hollywood blockbusters and, more importantly, their directors. Too bad they don’t get any actual screen time. Peter Jackson was the lord of the red carpet at the “Lovely Bones” premiere. Yep, the man seriously went from hobbit to hot. Who knew what was hiding under all that facial hair and those 70 extra pounds? While all the tweens were swooning over “New Moon,” I was dreaming about sinking my teeth into director Chris Weitz. Were you aware of his dreaminess? And of course, my long-time director crush, Wes Anderson, was looking fantastic as always at the premiere of “Fantastic Mr. Fox.” If I must choose, here’s who I’d shun, shag, and marry.

The Hottest Celebrity Vacation Destinations: Bye, Bye Dubai! Hello Morocco?

Ami AngelowiczDecember 1, 2009 //

With over-the-top resorts, year-round sunshine, killer shopping, picturesque beaches, and the world’s tallest building, Dubai quickly became the celebrity destination of choice. Not only were the Beckhams and Jolie-Pitts falling all over themselves to jet-set to the Persian Gulf—many were even investing in real estate there. Well, until the government went public with their $80-millionbillion worth of financial woes. Now that Dubai is donezo, where will the celebrities go to hide away from the unwashed masses? Morocco. Just this past weekend, a bunch of A-listers jetted to Marrakesh to celebrate the opening of a Chopard boutique at the La Mamounia Hotel. Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow, Orlando Bloom, Salma Hayek, Miranda Kerr, and Juliette Binoche were just a few of the guests in attendance. Could this signify a renaissance of the ‘60s bohemian hot spot? [Celebitchy]

After the jump, some “now” destinations where celebrities will be heading in 2010.

12 Celebs Dish About Kissing Their Co-Stars

Ami AngelowiczNovember 29, 2009 //

Guess which leading man singer Norah Jones had to kiss 90 times for the film “My Blueberry Nights”? Jude Law. Norah dished about their kissing scene in a recent interview, saying, “It was an interesting situation and it was just plain weird. I had to kiss Jude about 90 times and I didn’t want to laugh, but it seemed so ridiculous. What in the world am I doing kissing Jude Law? He’s Jude … and I’m … me. We laughed a lot between takes. It was actually very choreographed, but there was beautiful music playing in the background. Now when I hear that music I think about kissing Jude Law.” I think that’s a nice way of saying, “Jude ruined my favorite song.” [The Insider]

Don’t You Know Who I Am? 10 Celebs Go Unrecognized

Ami AngelowiczNovember 28, 2009 //

A lot of celebs claim that they would love to be anonymous for a day. But then they seem to be perplexed or even insulted when it actually happens. Recently, when Miley Cyrus dined at NYC burger joint, Pop Burger, she was exasperated when the counter guy asked for her name for the order. A witness said that she went so far as to chide the unsuspecting employee. “Are you serious? You don’t recognize me?” she said. “I’m Miley Cyrus.” I guess she was just “being Miley.” Translation: a teenage egomaniac. [NY Post]

But Miley’s not the only celeb that has managed to go out in public thoroughly undetected. After the jump, some more celebs that went incognito.

To Attract The Dudes, Follow The 40% Rule

Ami AngelowiczNovember 25, 2009 //

A new study concludes that there is a magic number when it comes to appealing to the men folk’s reptilian brains. Men are twice as likely to be attracted to a woman baring 40 percent of her skin. Yes … our body parts are really just an equation. Bare arm, 10 percent, bare leg, 15 percent. So if you’re going out on the town cruising for dudes, you might wanna make sure you’ve done your math. Why 40 percent? The study shows that it’s just the right amount of skin to make you alluring without making a guy scared that you’re going to run off with his brother. Very interesting. I wonder if you can mix and match? Like one leg, one arm, one nipple? [Newser] Keep reading »

Britney Spears, There’s An App For That

Ami AngelowiczNovember 25, 2009 //

Because celebrities haven’t taken over every millimeter of your existence quite yet, some intrepid folks of note are coming to an iPhone near you. That’s right, having your favorite celeb at your fingertips 24/7 is the wave of the future. Last week, Britney Spears joined the trend, launching her very own iPhone app, “It’s Britney!” For the modest cost of $1.99, you can easily get messages, news, photos, and Twitter updates from Brit. There is even a sparkler feature, so when you go to her next show you can hold up your phone instead of a lighter. The best feature though, in my opinion, is the Shake Shake Shake option, which makes your phone yell, “It’s Britney, bitch!” every time you shake your phone. All in all, this sounds like … a big waste of two dollars. [MTV]

Girl Talk: How Jordan Catalano Ruined My Love Life

Ami AngelowiczNovember 25, 2009 //

“Love is when you look into someone’s eyes and suddenly you go all the way inside, to their soul, and you both know instantly. I always imagined I’d fall in love nursing a blind soldier who was wounded in battle. Or maybe while rescuing someone in the middle of a blizzard, seconds before the avalanche hits.”

Angela Chase of “My So Called Life” said lots of words to live by, if you were an awkward, 15-year-old sophomore in high school in 1994. Which I was. And I was especially fond of her deep musings about love or, more specifically, her musings about Jordan Catalano. If Angela could go for Jordan Catalano, then so could I, I thought. Well not him exactly—but an alternative him. Sure, it seemed a tad unrealistic considering that no remotely hot guys went to my high school. And even if they did, they would never look twice at me, the bookish, alternative, theater girl. But still, I believed. Keep reading »
