Well good evening! Come on in and sit a spell. It’s the summer so not much TV on tonight but reruns. Speaking of reruns, let’s do a little reminiscing. Continue reading

It’s All-Star night and we’re excited. We fully expect the dancing to hit all the right high notes now that we’re down to the top ten. It just better deliver because if not, just what the hell will be on the tour? Pretty much nothing in the last few episodes has been worthy. The lackluster-a-tude this season has been a bit shocking. So let’s hope the All-Stars know how to turn it up a few notches.
Who set the stage ablaze?
Thirty minutes into a fourty-five minute jog is the worst — sweat is puddling into Great Lakes underneath you, the throbbing has begun to radiate up your leg, and you’ve jogged just long enough to convince yourself that stopping now would be OK because you’ve done ENOUGH. SSC doesn’t like doing “enough.” Continue reading
What is the deal with Texas and cheerleading controversies? 
First there was Wanda Holloway who hired a hit man to kill the mother of her daughter’s cheerleading rival. Who the eff has a cheerleading rival? I cannot fathom what that could possible mean.
Then there was a Silsbee, Texas cheerleader who refused to cheer for an athlete who was indicted of raping her. The superintendent, his assistant and school principal told the cheerleader that if she didn’t cheer for the alleged rapist, she had to go home. Can you imagine? Continue reading
Last week in Utah, the family starring in TLC’s “Sister Wives” program filed a challenge to that state’s criminal law against bigamy.
The Mormon Church famously renounced polygamy in 1890 in exchange for Utah’s statehood. Ever since then, polygamists have tiptoed around the laws with what Kody Brown, the husband on “Sister Wives” calls their “spiritual marriage.” Continue reading
***SPOILER ALERT*** The second half of this article contains Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 spoilers. You have been warned, so no complaining in the comments, nerds.
Hollywood loves a franchise. Especially one that has a built-in audience chomping at the bit to see their favorite book or comic characters come to life on the big screen. Continue reading
Hackers identifying themselves as members of LulzSec claim to have successfully hacked into computer systems belonging to NATO and claim to have obtained one Gigabyte of sensitive data from the organization. A tweet account, purportedly run by representatives of the group made the announcement at about 8:30 am EST. Continue reading
America’s second favorite sex tape star, Kim Kardashian, is suing Gap Inc, because its Old Navy brand aired commercials this spring that featured a model named Mellisa Molinaro. Molinaro is apparently somewhat known for ‘looking like Kim Kardashian’, among other exploits, such as appearing on MTV’s Making the Band 3, because that’s actually a thing.
Per the suit, Kardashian ‘”has invested substantial time, energy, finances and entrepreneurial effort in developing her considerable professional and commercial achievements and success, as well as in developing her popularity, fame, and prominence in the public eye”. I’ll leave the to commenters go ahead and have their fun with that statement.
Further, Ms. Kardashian is concerned that people might confuse her and Ms. Molinaro, and assume that Old Navy has Kim’s endorsement. Which, of course, they don’t, because a) they didn’t pay for it and b) Ohmygaw, have you seen Old Navy’s clothes? Kardashians don’t wear $5 polos, kids. She is so better than that.
Kim doesn’t want it to be illegal to look like her, she just wants to keep anyone who does from earning money publicly. Just kidding! Kim probably sees the potential for a few bucks, and hey, it beats ‘working’.
I don’t know about you, but I like to change my desktop background fairly frequently. At the office, I prefer wallpaper with a calendar. At home I like backgrounds that inspire or amuse me. Today’s Question of the Day: Where do you find your desktop backgrounds? Continue reading
Interviews, quelle horreur!
Well. Here I am – qualified and knowing that “You better work!” isn’t just a drag queen mantra. After a minor meltdown, I’m back in the interview saddle. Those similarly situated should know that the game has changed.
Here’s what you can expect.
1) The interview where you wear a suit and your prospective boss wears flip-flops. This happened to me three times. One micro-skirted woman lost her flip-flop when she crossed her legs like Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct, and only the fact that her flip-flop fortuitously flew foiled a furor over her flap. She worked for a Big 4 accounting firm, BTW. Her colleague was wearing stained khakis and a polo that barely protected his paunch from being peeped. Let it all hang out, guys! I don’t mind befouling my Hugo Boss in NYC’s summer heat so that I can show you the respect you think you deserve. Continue reading
