“Teen Wolf” Remade For The “Twilight” Generation

Some things are sacred territory in my book–and the original “Teen Wolf,” starring Michael J. Fox, is one of them. Apparently, MTV doesn’t agree, though, because it has remade the classic ’80s flick with a bunch of angsty, “Twilight“-y teens. This version looks like it features more overly dramatic acting than super cool car surfing. Yeah, we’ll pass. [NYMag.com] Keep reading »

7 Celebs We’re So Over

There are definitely a few celebs we wouldn’t mind seeing less of. For instance, some of The Frisky staff can’t wait for the “Twilight” saga to end—and it’s all thanks to star Kristen Stewart‘s, um, less-than-stellar acting. Says Amelia, “I hope after the last ‘Twilight’ movie she goes away because producers realize that she, hello, sucks as an actress.” Plus, she sucks face with Robert Pattinson, so there’s that, too.

After the jump, six more celebs we wouldn’t mind having a break from.

Have You Ever Had An Inexplicably Fractured Friendship?

So apparently Oprah Winfrey and Whoopi Goldberg didn’t speak for several years after starring in “The Color Purple” together. According to the pair — who spoke about their distanced friendship on today’s “Oprah” — their standoff ended after Whoopi spoke with Oprah on the set of “For Colored Girls…,” which Whoopi’s currently starring in. Whoopi asked her, “Did I do something to you?” And Oprah admitted that she thought she had done something wrong. Both thought the other one was mad, but neither knew what to do about it — for years. It seems ridiculous that two such powerful and famous women would both be so paralyzed to fix a fractured friendship. And yet! Women (and it does seem to be a distinctly female thing) seem to do this all the time — a small bout of silence turns into a cavernous, deep rift. Have you ever had a friendship break down over a similar kind of miscommunication? Keep reading »

Hot as heck rapper Nicki Minaj admitted that she once served fried shrimp and cheddar cheese biscuits (best biscuits ever, BTW) at a Red Lobster before getting her big break. And Nicki isn’t the only one — several famous women once donned the shiny orange Hooters short-shorts. But plenty of other celebs shilled pizza, hot dogs, Mickey D’s and more.

After the jump, more celebs who once hustled for tips.

Would You Share Your Secrets Online?

The internet is a veritable breeding ground for self-obsessives, voyeurs and exhibitionists (just look at the amount of amateur porn out there!). But the web also allows for people to divulge their most private and perverse thoughts from the privacy of their own homes — anonymously and safely. Sites like PostSecret and Hear My Secrets prove that people want to share the deepest parts of their guts with the world. And boy, what secrets they share! Keep reading »

Ellen Says Same-Sex Dancing No Big Deal

“I think it’s weird. It’s not a romantic thing. It’s an art form and in dancing it doesn’t matter. We are just so used to seeing a man and woman dancing together.”

Father Of 88 Wants An Even 100 Kids

How many kids is too many kids? If you’re Daad Murad Abdul Rahman, then you can never have enough. The 64-year-old Arab Emirates citizen already has 88 children but wants to make it an even 100. So he’s marrying an 18-year-old Indian girl named Aisha and hopes to have 100 kids by 2015 (this is making my uterus hurt). Rahman’s been married 15 times and currently has three wives. This latest union was arranged via his doctor and Rahman says he will bring Aisha back to his home city of Ajman after the wedding. He says he’ll stop marrying when he has an even 100 children.

A Twisted Girl In A Twisted World

Imagine reaching into the fridge for a soda and finding an ultra-bendy human being in there. In this totally-not-at-all-Photoshopped pic, Zlata, the most bendable woman in the world, shoves herself into a moldy fridge. Zlata can twist herself up into virtually any shape, and has done tons and tons of porn-y fetish-related magazine shoots. This is one of the few “safe for work” (but perhaps not “safe for the squeamish”) we can show you. Zlata got to be, um, Zlata, because her cartilage hasn’t developed like normal, and is still as flexible as a baby’s. Oh, and check out a video of Zlata doing her crazy contortion thing, too.
