The Poor Man’s Gaga: Ke$ha’s 8 Most Outrageous Looks

Julie GersteinNovember 9, 2010 //

We sympathize with pop star Ke$ha. It must be awfully hard wanting to be the “weird” girl when you’ve got Lady Gaga trotting around in meat dresses and plush animal gowns. We imagine, actually, Ms. Ke$ha’s got a tiny Gaga voodoo doll somewhere — after all, Ke$ha is to Gaga as Gary Busey is to Nick Nolte. She’s just the poor man’s totally outrageous pop singer. Case in point: this neon travesty she wore at the 2010 MTV Europe Music Awards, in which it appears that she fell in a bucket of neon hippie paint.

After the jump, more of Ke$ha’s Gaga-lite looks.

Women Running From Houses

Julie GersteinNovember 9, 2010 //

In the ’60s and ’70s, there was an entire genre of literature seemingly built around frightened young innocents escaping the horrors of haunted, creepy old houses. Luckily, some genius soul has cataloged this literary trend in a site called Women Running From Houses, which compiles any and every book cover featuring a young woman running screeching from a house. Like this one, by author “Jane Lovesmith” (total pen name), called The Lock. “What was the haunting secret of the unopened crypt behind the old house on Gantry Hill?” it asks. Good question. Let’s not find out. [Women Running From Houses] Keep reading »

Watch as fashion editor Caitlin Burke solves a puzzle on “Wheel of Fortune” with almost zero clues. “Is it just me or was that the most amazing solve we’ve ever had?” says a bewildered Pat Sajak. And trust us, that guy has seen everything. [Gothamist] Keep reading »

Baby Otters Play In The Kiddie Pool

Julie GersteinNovember 8, 2010 //


Surprisingly, swimming doesn’t necessarily come naturally to all members of the animal kingdom. Like these baby otters, Sumalee and Kasem, who live at the Longleat Zoo in England. The pair were taught how to swim by first trying it out in a sink, before then graduating to a baby pool. Watch as they frolic and play — sans water wings — for a thrilled audience.

Beautiful Girl, Bad Stylist: Blake Lively

Oh Blake Lively — she’s gorgeous, talented, and on one of the best shows ever created (“Gossip Girl,” duh). And yet, sometimes we wonder if her stylist hates her. If perhaps Blake accidentally ran over her stylist’s cat, or drank the last of her stylist’s orange juice. That’s the only justification we can come up with for some of the bad outfits Blake’s been seen in again and again. Like this sparkly shoulder-less number from her recent visit to “Late Night With David Letterman” to promote her appearance as a hooker single mom in “The Town,” in which she seems to be channeling her character.

And that’s not all. Click through for some of Blake’s less-than-impressive fashion moves.

The Perfect Pop

Julie GersteinNovember 8, 2010 //

Photographer Edward Horsford has really good timing — which is how he’s able to take such jaw-dropping photos of balloons as they pop. Incredibly, Horsford works alone, using a timer and a flash to capture the absolute perfect balloon-popping moment. We love how he captures the balloon’s moment of release.

Kanye West, Shut Up About Taylor Swift Already

Julie GersteinNovember 8, 2010 //

“I feel like when Taylor was getting all those magazine covers, she was all good then. I feel completely empathetic and sympathize with that moment of her feeling bad, that spawned her to have one million magazine covers and be the most popular artist in the world, but in that moment of her feeling bad, I do feel bad about being the cause of that.”

—Most modest man in the world Kanye West talking (yet again) about how he pretty much made Taylor Swift’s career by interrupting her at the 2009 VMAs. I’m sure that “thank you” from Taylor will come any day now, Kanye. [Dlisted] Keep reading »

Frisky Reader Advice: How You Deal With The Winter Blues

Julie GersteinNovember 8, 2010 //

If you thought this fall/winter was gnarly before, get ready for it to get a whole lot worse: This weekend saw the end of Daylight Saving Time, which means we’ll lose another hour of sunlight. For some, that’s no big deal, but for the rest of us, it means we’ll need to hunker down and make a plan.

After the jump, some great winter blues advice, straight from you, dear Frisky readers. Keep reading »

Prince Makes Erotic Sculptures … Of Himself

Julie GersteinNovember 5, 2010 //

The next time you think you’re weird or kinky or especially twisted in bed, think of Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei. He’s the younger brother of the Sultan of Brunei and apparently quite the perv. The prince allegedly had six life-size erotic sculptures of himself made, along with sexy sculptures of his fiancee, who is part of his harem. Yes, we said harem. The statues were discovered at the Prince’s Long Island estate, which is currently in litigation after two of the Prince’s advisers sold the property for much less than he believed it was worth. In the photos we’ve seen, the erotic sculptures include perfectly molded jean shorts (so, kinky and unfashionable). As you can imagine, the Prince is trying to keep images and mention of the sculptures out of the press — and out of his court case. No such luck. [NY Mag] Keep reading »
