Fun New Blog Features Ugly Ducklings Who Became Swans

One of my most favorite pastimes is looking at awkward photos, especially of friends and loved ones. If they’re nice about it, I’ll even share my pics from 5th grade, when I wore an off-the-shoulder peasant top, frosted lipstick, and had big bangs. Fun stuff. I think the best awks pics I’ve seen are of my best friend when she was in middle school. Was there a reason why she wore a bolo tie in her 7th grade yearbook photo? Hours of laughter. Hours. A new blog, Before You Were Hot, documents the before and after of ugly ducklings becoming swans. Looking at awkwardly fug kids turn into hot adults is a good time guaranteed. Just trust me, you need to check it out. Some of my favorite fug-to-hottie transformations after the jump. [Urlesque] Keep reading »

Danielle Staub Is The Latest “Real Housewife” To Record A Single

OK, just because you are a “Real Housewife” and your face is plastered all over TV doesn’t mean you have to start making music. It was cute when NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” recorded “Tardy for the Party.” Then just absurd when LuAnn de Lesseps made “Money Can’t Buy You Class.” But now one of the ladies from “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” is taking her turn in the recording studio. Danielle Staub is making her first foray into pop music by recording a duet with openly gay singer Lori Michaels called “Real Close.” Keep reading »

10 Reasons We’ll Be Watching Kate Gosselin’s “Twist Of Kate”

Over the past year, Kate Gosselin has come full circle in the court of public opinion. Around this time last year, most people thought of her as the shrewish mother of eight who was constantly nagging and snapping at her laid-back husband, Jon. As soon as they divorced last summer and Jon started dating a string of questionable 20-somethings, Kate became the sane and stable one to Jon’s man-boy. Then, Kate appeared on “Dancing with the Stars,” and again she became the shrew, as rumors flew that she was nasty to her fellow cast members behind the scenes. Well, I’m going to say something controversial. I like Kate Gosselin. I think she’s smart and appreciate her wry, barely-there sense of humor. I think she’s handled herself with restraint and class for the past year while dealing with the end of her marriage under the tabloid microscope. I appreciate how open she is about her emotions, and how hard it is to move on. And while millions will be watching when “Kate Plus 8″ premieres on Sunday, I’m looking forward to having a second dose of Kate on television with her brand-new reality show, “Twist of Kate,” coming to TLC soon. After the jump, 10 reasons I’ll be watching. Keep reading »

Happy Hump Day: Boxer Puppy Is Confused By Speaker Phone


I’m sorry, but is there anything cuter in this entire universe than when a puppy tilts its head and looks confused? No. No there is not. Don’t even try to convince me otherwise. [BuzzFeed] Keep reading »

Someone Finally Says Something Sensible About “Sex And The City 2″

You know what gets people worked up on the internet? Not children going to bed hungry. Not murderers and rapists who never see the inside of a jail cell. Not people who abuse animals. No, it’s “Sex and the City 2” that makes people lose their flippin’ minds.

If I hadn’t just taken a week-long vacation in May, I should have done it the week after critics started publishing their scathing, venom-filled “Sex and the City 2″ reviews about how it’s THE WORST THING EVER and OH MY GOD MY EYES ARE BLEEDING. (The cattiest reviews, of course, I collated for you haters here.) But then I found the diamond in the rough: somebody who had something sensible, rather than hysterical, to say about “Sex and the City 2.” Keep reading »

Ken’s Dream House And Inferiority Complex


I’ve always had questions about the Ken doll. What’s his relationship with Barbie anyway? Does he like men or women? What’s up with the ascot? Where did he get all the money for his rad car? Well, this video promo for “Toy Story 3″ doesn’t answer any of those questions, but it certainly makes the famous doll look like a diva. But I guess you are bound to have issues when you have a plastic void where your manhood should be. Keep reading »

Start slurping! Keep reading »

The Real Story Behind “The Real Housewives Of New Jersey” Charity Event Drama

On Monday’s episode of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” black sheep Danielle Staub attended a charity dinner at The Brownstone, the event facility owned and operated by the Manzo family. Caroline and Dina Manzo, of course, are fellow cast members on the hit Bravo show, and since the beginning they — along with Teresa Giudice and Jacquelina Laurina — have been at odds with Staub. Last season culminated in Teresa overturning a table and shouting that Danielle was a “prostitution whore,” the best grammatically incorrect insult, um, ever. Anyway, Danielle has been behaving super odd during this second season, seemingly continuing a “war” with the Manzos even though they seem genuinely bored by her antics. Danielle claimed to be scared of the Manzos and enlisted a parolee with a bad hairdo and a Hell’s Angel as part of her “entourage” for this charity event, which Danielle was clearly only attending to cause drama, not to actually raise money for a baby named Emanuela, who is sick with cancer. If Danielle Staub had any supporters following this week’s episode, people who think her intentions are good and not totally bats**t crazy, she won’t have any now that the people who were throwing the event are talking.
