Lord Of The Wings And Other Awesome Eating Competitions

My favorite hobbit, Elijah Wood, just hosted his first eating contest, called Lord of the Wings. The competition took place at Epstein’s Bar in New York and the winner, “Big Dan” Graff, awesomely said, “It was a fun night. I ate 14 wings in three minutes. Elijah was a good sport and a really sweet little guy. I’ll probably regret saying this, but he’s got the biggest blue eyes I’ve ever seen on a man.” Awww, sounds like there was some bromance brewing at the wing competition. [NY Post]

And because I’ve got a huge ol’ crush on Kobayashi, I’m gonna introduce you to some of the most random eating competitions ever. Keep reading »

Remote Control: What You’ll Want To Watch The Week Of January 11th 2010

Hold on to your seats (er, couches?) people, because this is a big television week. You’ll probably want to cancel your plans tonight so that you can watch the 100th episode of “How I Met Your Mother,” the episode of “The Bachelor” where Rozlyn gets booted for scamming on a producer, and the premiere of “Let’s Talk About Pep.” Oh, plus this week also brings the season premieres of “Southland” and “Project Runway.” After the jump, all the details.

You Know You Wanna See What Sexy “Star Wars” Burlesque Looks Like!

Oh, sci-fi dweebs, what will you think of next? “Star Wars” and burlesque are two subcultures which should not belong together, but somehow, these performers made it work! Except for “sexy” Jabba The Hutt, who will haunt my nightmares for time immemorial.

Pic, if you dare, after the jump … Keep reading »

Clear Your Calendars: “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Starts Its Engine Soon


Just in time for National Drag History Month, a preview of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” season two, has sashayed onto the internet. And girl, it looks like some serious fierceness! The first episode premieres Feb. 1 and will include guest judges Kathy Griffin, whose beauty routine is about the same as the competitors, and Henry Rollins, a metal bad boy with a funny, sensitive side. Swoon! I will SO be watching this season. But I have to admit, I’m still going through Ongina, Nina Flores, and Bebe Zahara withdrawal from season one. Luckily, there are more super-rad drag queens that deserve our worship this season. Check out my pick for the win, after the jump. Keep reading »

Trailer Park: “Leap Year,” “Youth In Revolt,” And “Daybreakers”

It’s eight days into the new year and since one of your resolutions was to get out more (I know, I’m psychic), why not treat yourself to a movie night? Maybe popcorn would get in the way of that resolution to cut down on carbs, but what’s a movie without 400-1,200 calories of comfort? This week, get a tour of European countryside with “Leap Year,” see if Michael Cera is capable of playing someone besides himself with “Youth in Revolt,” or catch a glimpse of our vampire-ruled future with “Daybreakers.” Keep reading »

I Have No Idea What To Make Of This Movie “Bitch Slap”


Wow. I didn’t know there could be as many cleavage shots in this 2:33 trailer for the new movie “Bitch Slap,” which is out in theaters and on demand today. It’s written and directed by Rick Jacobsen, who worked with infamous Troma films mastermind Roger Corman, and The Hollywood Reporter calls it a “post-feminist exploitation flick.” Even the film’s scantily clad stars seem to look at it that way. “It is a loving homage to the ’50s to ’70s exploitation films. We like to describe it as a thinking man’s exploitation film,” says Julia Voth, who plays Trixie. “It has all the elements we love, hot women, big guns, fast cars, actions of all kinds … But it takes it one step further by having a very smart script, filled with deep characters, and a really kick ass plot.” I dunno if I’m convinced. In fact, I’m kind of scratching my head on this one. What do you think? [Icon Vs. Icon] Keep reading »

Tamra And Simon Of “The Real Housewives Of Orange County” Are Dunzo

On last night’s episode of “The Real Housewives Of Orange County“—which, face it, you weren’t watching because you were occupado with “Jersey Shore“—Tamra and Simon’s marital problems seemed to hit a fever pitch. Funny (OK, completely wrong word) that the episode should air the very week that Simon actually files for divorce. While on the show, Tamra talks about how she and Simon have grown apart over a fight with Tamra’s oldest, jail-bound son, the divorce papers tell a very different story. The papers say that Tamra “has been verbally abusive and has committed acts of disloyalty and infidelity.” Back the truck up! Really? Tamra? Just please tell me she didn’t get busy with Slade Smiley, who seems to have a Housewife fetish. Apparently, Tamra moved out of her house earlier this week and is now living in an apartment.

“Jersey Shore” Has Ruined Hot Tubs For Me Forever

Want to get worked up in a lather over “Jersey Shore“? Take your pick of things to complain about. The words “guido” and “guidette” are offensive! Snooki got punched in the face by a drunk man at a bar! Nearly all the men on the show are sexist skeezebags who objectify women!

None of these are the complaints I have for the show. I, personally, am shocked, dismayed and offended that “Jersey Shore” has ruined hot tubs for me forever. Keep reading »
