On last night’s So You Think You Can Dance, contemporary choreographer Mia Michael’s composed a dance for contestants Twitch and Katie that went along with one of our favorite songs of the summer—Duffy’s “Mercy”. The storyline for the dance was awesome—a clingy desperate woman trying to cling to her man. I loved the use of the doorway as a prop. Check out the clip above!
Some stories are truly stranger than fiction. Darla and Mark Pritchard tried to have a baby for five years, but nothing was working, even after two in-vitro fertilization attempts. Then, Darla’s twin sister, Dana Johnson, offered to be a surrogate, and it seems that both Darla and Dana had Darla eggs (fertilized by Mark) implanted, and both became pregnant. Darla gave birth to twins, and six weeks later, Dana gave birth to a girl. Even though they came out of different women and don’t all have the same birth date, the three children are considered triplets. Even Darla and Dana seem a little confused when they try to talk about the ordeal in the above video. [CBS News]

Did you know Hayden Panettiere wants to be a singer? Like Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan before her, the Heroes actress is branching out into the music biz with her new single “Wake Up Call”. It sounds exactly like the competition!

This really is no surprise but super uptight couch sister, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, from The View, says she wouldn’t be pleased if her husband watched porn. And she sure as hell wouldn’t ever use a vibrator because she wants the intimacy of lovemaking with her husband more than anything. Honey, what about when he’s making treks around the country playing football games? Don’t you ever get a little horny and need to attend to some maintenance? Between pedicures you still pumice the soles of your feet (or some other ridiculous metaphor), right?
To be honest, despite being a loyal viewer, I have hated most of the guys picked to be The Bachelor. In fact, the only guy featured on the show who I could honestly see myself being hot for was Ryan Sutter, the guy Trista, the first Bachelorette gave the final rose to and who she later married. He was friggin’ hot and he seemed nice and he wrote poetry (terrible poetry but I disgress) and he was a fireman. What’s not to love? The rest of The Bachelor‘s have ranged from mediocre (Andrew Firestone) to downright awful (Alex Michel). But the worst of the worst of the worst was Bachelor Aaron Buerge from season two. He was, in a word, a total d-bag. And by the looks of last night’s Where Are They Now? special, he is still just as heinous as ever. For the record, he shows how a fist bumpshouldn’t be done.
Countdown to The Dark Knight! Christian Slater Bale, the film’s Batman, was on The Today Show this morning and got to talking about co-star Heath Ledger. He disputes the rumors that part of the reason Heath was doing drugs that resulted in an accidental overdose is because he was “too immersed” in the character of the Joker. Clip above.
When did Sesame Street get to be so cool? This video of Feist singing a variation on her song “1 2 3 4” will air in the season 39 premiere on August 11. Also making appearances on Sesame Street episodes this season: Will Arnett, Jessica Alba, David Beckham, Heidi Klum, Neil Patrick Harris, and Jack Black. Would it be strange for a 25-year old to DVR Sesame Street? [Videogum]
We know you’ve got style, which is why we headed out onto the street to find out just what the average gal is wearing and what her fashion philosophy is. This week we’ve got a cool chicka who knows a hat always adds a dash of panache.

Remember Jamal Wallace from Finding Forrester? Well, I had a big crush on him when that movie came out in ‘01. Rob Brown, the actor who played Jamal, has stayed fairly under the radar over the past few years despite appearing in movies like Coach Carter and Stop-Loss. Where was he all this time? Well, Rob was going to Amherst College. I was reminded of him when I came across his photo in Vanity Fair, where he’s lauded as one of Hollywood’s “New Wave.” You best believe I will be going to see his new football movie, The Express, when it comes out this October. In the above clip from an NFL.com video, Rob talks to Deion Sanders about the stunt doubles he had to have, despite playing football while he was at Amherst. Watch the full video at NFL.com.

I love makeover shows, but they piss me off when the person they’re “making over” already HAS style, whether that style is in vogue or not. For example, last night i caught an episode of How Do I Look?, one of the more annoying makeover shows simply because of host Finola Hughes. Her subject was cute goth Plum who seriously DID NOT want to be made over. Her general distaste for the whole process was refreshing, really, and I totally admire her for saying just how shallow this crap is. Shallow and FUN for viewers, yes, but life-changing it is not. Clip above!

I have a bit of a foot problem. For whatever reason, despite fairly frequent pedicures, especially during the winter months (which I pay for less out of vanity and more because I friggin’ lovvvvve a salon massage chair [that does the kneeding NOT the vibrating, FYI]), my feet, while perfectly shaped (fact), are so dry, they peel. Maybe it’s because I under moisturize them, but then again, the only place I moisturize is my face, because I am low maintenance. Couple this natural dry peeling with my OCD, and you’ve got many wasted hours sitting in front of the TV, peeling off bits of my foot skin. I know this is disgusting, but there is a point to the madness of this post. I have just discovered the Ped-Egg and I am forever changed. Should they desire my services I would become their version of Jessica Simpson for Pro-Active. For serious.
Oh, The Bachelorette. How I regret not watching you from the first episode. Last night was the finale and boy, was is it a doozy. Jeremy returned! To rather sadly beg for DeAnna back, mind you, but he was there and delightfully less Patrick Bateman-esque. But it wasn’t enough, because DeAnna was MORE in love with Snowboarder McGee and Daddy Dopeyface and had a major decision to make. The thing that drives me crazy about this show is that up until the very last second, The Bach is always totally in love with both competitors, but then suddenly, the clouds part and it’s clear who he/she should choose? I mean, if I was the chosen one, I would probably still be a little insecure. Anyway, if you don’t want to know who DeAnna chose and who proposed to her, don’t click to after the jump and don’t watch the video above either…

Dolly Parton’s rack ain’t got nuthin’ on this lady! Busty Heart, the proprietor of a gentlemen’s club in Pennsylvania, lives up to her stripper name. In fact, just the site of her “dangerous curves” made a 35-year-old guy keel over dead! In the above video from America’s Got Talent, her boob karate chops through 3 wood planks. Three! My mom sent me to a dojo for years and I still couldn’t break more than one with my hand. [Dlisted]

You’ve probably already had your fill of indie emo guys slobbering all over you. Just kidding, who can get enough? Converse, makers of the sneakers for at least 50% of the guys you dated in college, have just released KissingwithRoss.com, an “Average Joe” style ad campaign, but his makin’ out is above average. He gets right up on the lense and goes for it, tongue and all. Okay, so usually when we’re licking someone’s face, we close our eyes, but Ross is giving us a reason to keep our peepers open.

Dear Feministing, We really hope you get your new site up and running soon, but thank you for introducing us to this awesome video: Jem truly truly truly outrageously rocking out to Le Tigre. Love, The Frisky
On last night’s season finale of A Shot At Love II, Tila Tequila offered her heart to Kristy, who then promptly turned her down. The two of them really seem to be acting, and badly, and this just reinforces my gut feeling (and the internet rumors) that Tila isn’t bisexual, but knew she had to pick a lady this time around to keep up the facade. Having Tila get dissed just adds more drama AND opens up the door to season three of this crap fest. Sigh. I miss Laguna Beach.
On Monday night’s third episode of Secret Diary of a Call Girl, Belle had an overnight job with a client—who only seemed to want to sleep. Bored out of her mind, Belle went downstairs to get a drink and meets another man who wants to hire her straight away. This is clearly the call girl’s version of when you have Friday night plans with that guy you’ve been seeing, but then that hot guy from work asks if you want to hang out and you agree to both without really considering the logistics. In the clip above, Belle explains the three rules of conversation with a client, which also totally apply to first dates as well. [Showtime: Secret Diary Of A Call Girl]

Okay, so we know we’re not supposed to be fans of commercials when there’s, like, real art on TV, but Orbit gum is special because they understand that breaking up is hard to do. Remember the clean mouth commercial where the ex-wife put a convertible through a wood chipper because her man was cheating with his co-worker? Well they’ve managed to kick that bitchfest up a notch! In the commercial above, a scorned woman turns T-Rex and starts ripping stuff up with her teeth. Unfortunately, the ad is so controversial for some reason, it was pulled off the air. So we’re giving it to you, because we would never break your heart. [Ad Freak]
Drug-addled ex-Libertines and Baby Shambles singer Pete Doherty posted a new video and song, “bohemian love”, on his YouTube page, and dedicated it to his ex-girlfriend, Kate Moss. The song appears to be written by Coco Sumner, who is Sting’s daughter and a rumored paramour of Pete’s. What the case, the song is awesomely sad—we like this heartbroken Pete!
