I was busy watching Kathy Griffin hassle Anderson Cooper on New Year’s Eve, but apparently Carson Daly’s show was where it was at! Jay-Z and Swizz Beatz dropped their rad rap track, “On To The Next One,” to swaggah us into 2010. And this song is H-O-T! You gotta check out this sick black and white video — perhaps we’ve found the first entry for our next “Best Music Videos Of The Decade” roundup. Keep reading »
“On To The Next One” Is Not Just A Single Gals Mantra

Meet Pilot Jake’s Bachelorettes!
Tonight, “The Bachelor”‘s 14th season premieres — it’s, gag, called “The Wings Of Love” — and I, against my better judgment, will be liveblogging the episode each week. I am hoping and praying that if our Bachelor, Pilot Jake (who made a splash on last season’s Bachelorette, Jillian Harris), does indeed bring the boring, as I expect he will, his legion of drooling bachelorettes will at least provide the crazy. If the look of insanity in their eyes is any indication of their potential to make drama, I’m hoping Ella and Kirsten are around for a while. But of course, eventually the bunny boilers are weeded out and we’ll be left with Pilot Jake’s faves. Last season I pretty capably picked a few of the favorites before the first episode aired and this season I’m trying again, with only my gut instinct to guide me. After the jump, the six bachelorettes to keep an eye on. Keep reading »
Coming Soon: “Jersey Shore” Porn Spoof!
Well, I think we knew this was coming. Zero Tolerance Entertainment is hard at work on a porn spoof based on MTV’s “Jersey Shore” and, yes, you guessed it, the film will be called “Jersey Whores.” According to Fleshbot, casting has already started and we’re more than slightly underwhelmed by some of their choices. We know it can be hard to find exact doppelgangers within the porn biz, but Dylan Ryder looks nothing like Sammi Sweetheart. And seriously, can Taryn Thomas’ hair even hold a pouf like our beloved Snooki? One upshot to “Jersey Whores” is that, miraculously, the dudes cast to portray “The Situation” and DJ Pauly D are both way better-looking, if not the slightest bit guido-esque. Keep reading »
All You Need Is Love And Some Coffee
Starbucks, purveyors of fine reasons to take an afternoon break at work, got together musicians from 156 countries and had them all sing The Beatles’ “All You Need Is Love.” Across the universe, they all played together, same time, different places, to raise awareness about the AIDS crisis. As if the reason isn’t moving enough, this video of all the participants really drives the fab four’s point home. Here’s wishing you a decade full of love. Happy New Year! Keep reading »

“Valentine’s Day” Feels Like A Movie I’ve Seen Before
I bet you can’t guess when the movie “Valentine’s Day” hits theaters. This February, what looks like a combination of “He’s Just Not That Into You” and “New York, I Love You” will come to a cinema near you. Seriously, they didn’t even bother finding a new song to use in the trailer; Mika’s “Love Today” was used in the teaser for “New York, I Love You,” too. The only reason I might see “Valentine’s Day” when it comes to DVD is to check out whether Taylor Swift can act. Keep reading »
The Baby-Sitters Club Is Back!
If you were anywhere near as dorky in middle school as the Frisky staff, you passed many an hour not on the phone with boys and instead reading The Baby-Sitters Club. Each one was only about 200 pages but the series seemed endless. The Baby-Sitters Club was published from 1986 to 2000, when all the books went out of print … until now. Keep reading »

2009: The Year Of The Real Girls
If you came of age in the early 2000s, like I did, pop culture was strange—strangely plastic, that is. Britney Spears had the hottest body on earth, but she married a skeezebag and shaved her head. Paris Hilton had a sex tape, then a TV show and then everyone wanted to be her best friend. Hugh Hefner‘s bunny-girlfriends got their own show and then two of them spun off and started shows of their own.
All the way up to 2007, things were looking weird, when “Gossip Girl” debuted and Blake Lively‘s cleavage co-starred in every scene. Yes, indeed, the 2000s were the decade to be conventionally pretty, blonde, silicone, slick, PR-laden, lawyered up, and above all, fake.
Yes, 2009 sucked and we’re all glad that it’s over. But in 2009, pop culture had mercy on our souls. It couldn’t run on fumes anymore. People, one hopes, got bored. And so, against all odds, 2009 became the Year Of The Real Girl. Keep reading »
