Michael Bay, the director behind SUPER EXPLOSIVE action films “Transformers,” “Pearl Harbor,” and “Armageddon,” directed this brand-new Victoria’s Secret commercial. There’s lots of wind and rolling around and gap-mouthed-ness and then, of course, a fiery blast. One question—where’s Ben Affleck? [via ONTD]

I feel like Jonathan Safran Foer is stalking me. OK, maybe not the actual guy—he’s got a beautiful, ridiculously talented wife, some kiddos, and a new best-selling book called Eating Animals, which Natalie Portman says made her go vegan, so no, he’s not actually stalking me. But I feel like he is, in the same way that I feel like Michael Pollan (who penned The Omnivore’s Dilemma) is, in the same way I feel like Robert Kenner (who made the film “Food Inc.”) is, in the same way that I feel like Barbara Kingsolver (who wrote Animal, Vegetable, Miracle) is. They’ve all created what I hear are persuasive, fascinating, and sometimes terrifying books and films about food that will inevitably change the way I think about every little thing I put in my mouth forevermore. But honestly, I just don’t want to hear it.

Lady Gaga has found a way to spread holiday cheer in her own special way. Over the weekend, she donned a pair of antlers to complement her translucent dress, and last year, she added a tune to the holiday music landscape. We’re not sure how we overlooked “Christmas Tree” featuring Space Cowboy for so long, because it’s certainly something. With lines like “Ho ho ho, under the mistletoe / Yes, everybody knows / We will take off our clothes,” “Light me up put me on top / Let’s fa-la-la-la-la-la-la,” and “My Christmas tree’s delicious,” this song is sure to become a classic. And, right now, it’s available to download for free on Amazon.com. Take a listen after the jump.

Before having back surgery this past spring, I’d never laid eyes on a full episode of “Gilmore Girls.” Yes, I came late to the party. Very late. The show debuted in 2000 and went off the air in 2007. So when I found myself virtually immobile for weeks at a stretch, with nothing but Netflix (and a bottle of Percocet) to keep me occupied, I decided to give the show, which people whose opinions I respected told me was a classic, a whirl.

Despite writing for a TV-centric website for a chunk of time, I’ve never been one to get full-on obsessed with a TV show (not since my “My So-Called Life” days, anyway.) But “Gilmore Girls” incited, nay demanded, an unprecedented level of boob tube devotion in me. If the show’s brilliant dialogue, comfy-cozy aesthetic and kick-ass soundtrack wasn’t enough, the lead characters—two flawed, hilarious, complicated and fiercely independent women—sealed the deal. 

Last night, I was in the changing room at my NYC gym alongside the lovely and petite Natalie Portman! She was wearing a puffy green coat and Tretorn rain boots even though it wasn’t raining outside and didn’t close her locker behind her. Anyway, because I’m a nerd, this morning I Googled “Natalie Portman Equinox” just for kicks and I came up with this Craigslist posting by some gym bunny asking Nat on a date. It says:

“You’re Natalie Portman. I was running on the treadmill at Equinox today…you were with your friend…i think you kind of checked me out a little…thought you were cute, would love to grab a drink.

Poor boob! Natalie wasn’t checking you out, honey. She was afraid because you were staring at her.

Supermodel and star of “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” Lily Cole looked as gorgeous as ever at the premiere last night, but it looks like a chunk of her pinstriped suit went missing. (No offense, but is it just us or does this outfit remind you of something Paula Abdul would have worn circa 1994?) [NYC, 12/7/09]

Nothing says “Happy Holidays” like a carton of smokes, especially when it’s designed with Christmas greens and pine combs. So seasonal! As you can see in this black-and-white commercial, a carton of Lucky Strikes looks “bright!” and “colorful!” under the tree and is sure to please any smoker with good taste. After all, it does say “Merry Christmas and Happy Smoking” two-hundred times.
