When Kim Zolciak performed her single “Tardy for the Party” on Bravo’s “Real Housewives of Atlanta” reunion this week, she exclaimed that her dreams had come true. Her castmates may agree to disagree. For many reality television stars, fame on the small screen is just the beginning. Like Kim, their dreams often take them into the music world. Now, PopEater takes a look at other celebrities who made the leap from reality television to singing ... some with more success than others.
The above clip is an “exclusive” deleted scene from the “Bruno” DVD. Things get really uncomfortable when baseball legend Pete Rose is forced to sit on a landscaper. [Maxim]—I’m so ashamed to admit I laughed. I had no plans of seeing any of this movie in my lifetime.
It’s no surprise movies don’t necessarily contain the most accurate depictions of actual life, but when it comes to sex, some of the depictions are plain myths. [College Candy]—Yeah, I’ve never ripped the sheet off the bed to run to the loo post-coitus.
The five most inappropriate situations to Twitter include attending church hungover and going to a great aunt’s funeral. See what other events shouldn’t be tweeted. [College Humor]
When a couple gets engaged, the first thing people want to know is what the ring looks like, the second is how he proposed. We’ve already seen Emily Blunt‘s engagement ring, and today, John Krasinski told the ladies of “The View” how he asked her to marry him. John’s proposal was old school: “It’s funny, everybody asks me, ‘Did you get on your knee?’ And I’m like, ‘That’s what you do, right?’” Watch him describe it in the above clip! [The View]
Thank goodness it’s Friday, because this daylight savings thing has totally killed any motivation to leave the house after 5pm. This will have to change, though, because new movies open this weekend and there are some good ones. If you’re in the mood to be an emotional mess, go see “Precious.” If you have ever wondered if you could take another person’s life in your hands, “The Box” is the movie for you. If you’re not a fan of goats but enjoy handsome men, “Men Staring at Goats” should work. And if you need a hand getting in the holiday spirit, go see “A Christmas Carol.” Your viewing choice is of course up to your discretion, but go see “Precious.” Oprah says so, too.
Ah, Friday. What better day for a catfight video? Only, in this case, the “fight” is actually a “sport,” albeit a game in which the ladies of the Brigham Young University and New Mexico State University soccer teams exhibit some very unsportsmanlike conduct. Elbow to the solar plexus? Check. Ball kicked into head? Check. Girl pulled to the ground by her hair? Double check. Where’s a referee when you need ‘em? If I see New Mexico centerback Elizabeth Lambert coming down a grassy field towards me, I’m running in the opposite direction. [BuzzFeed]
“Three’s Company”‘s Suzanne Somers didn’t just fill out a pair of bell bottoms, she also filled a book with her sexy love poems. The blonde bombshell penned some real American classics by putting her own sex life into prose. But shockingly enough, much like her acting, Suzanne’s literary talent has gone unnoticed for decades. Well, that is until “Saturday Night Live”‘s Kristen Wiig resurrected this tome of bootylicious poetry for the New York Comedy Festival’s Celeb Autobiography reading last night. And the “Touch Me” chapter was chock full of horny ‘70s life lesson gems like:
“Sometimes I wonder if there’s enough love to go around with all the pain and longing. But one thing is for sure: If anyone has any extra love, even a heartbeat, or a touch or two, I wish they wouldn’t waste it on dogs.”
Turns out our favorite crazy cat massage lady can’t resist dogs either! In this special lesson, she demonstrate how to give a doggie rubdown, using her furry “Fonzie” pup named Henry Wrinkler. Ha! So pay attention to all her smooth moves, from no-mo cuddling to slo-mo petting—even how to give it fast and frisky (wonder if we inspired her?). Oh, Maryjean, what will you massage next? [Everything Is Terrible]
Models are always going on and on about what hard work photoshoots are, but this behind-the-scenes at Topshop‘s holiday collection sesh with cute photog Max Farago proves for once and for all that it is not quite the backbreaking labor these waifs would have you believe. Anyhoo, all the sparkly sequins, studs, baubles and platforms are making us really excited to buy some fabby cocktail dresses this season ... or at least dream about the ones we want.
Remember, remember the Fifth of November. This was the day that Guy Fawkes was thwarted in his attempt to explode the British Parliament in the 17th Century (and was caught, tortured, and killed). Our friends across the pond celebrate and commemorate with bonfires, burnings in effigy, and such. This side of the pond, I’m promoting anarchy through remembering Natalie Portman in “V for Vendetta.” The movie (based on the comic) imagined a dystopian future where people lived under totalitarian British rule and V attempted to viciously overthrow the vile government through violence. And Natalie shaved her head. Remember, remember ... it was the cutest thing ever ...
Ralph Lauren debuted his new uniforms for the US Olympic team during “The Today Show” on Wednesday morning, and they’re nothing less than pure Americana style. Surprised? The closing ceremony looks mix a newsboy feel (like his spring runway show) with hard core alpine boots, while the design on the medal stand collection is all one of a kind, “like a snowflake.” How precious. You can buy pieces now on Nike.com, and even personalize your own polo, so now everyone’s an Olympic athlete. Just don’t get caught with a bong in your hands.
