Remember 2004 when Kate Hudson was that plucky, scowly, little rosy cheeked spawn-of-Hawn cherub? Yes, her movies were a cutesy explosion of sweatpants and Häagen-Dazs girly fluff-porn. Yeah, well, fast forward eight years to a horrible economy, and an Emma Stone and Jessica Chastain world later, and Kate here is still flopping around holding on to that rom-com branch for all she’s worth.

The GOP presidential candidates are doing that thing they do, again, only this time in another place.
They’re debating again. This time they’re in Barney Fife Hall in Mount Pilot, which is not as nice as the Shrimp-n-Grits Auditorium they performed in last time.
Sadly, they can’t go back to the SnG after the thing Gingrich did backstage on Saturday. The gas expelled from his float-sacs can be surprisingly volatile, and Huntsman should probably have told somebody about his shrimp allergy. Oh well. Was that only Saturday? Continue reading
Trend alert, kids are out there wandering the streets raping and murdering. And not just those 17 year old kids who are really only kids by technicality. I’m talking about tweens.
Obviously, following this link will take you to descriptions of violence involving children. Continue reading
When I’m at the gym or just hanging out, I’ve been asked these questions more than a few times:
“What are you taking?”
“What are you on?”
“What’s your secret?”
“Are you on steroids?”
Now of course I’m not on steroids, and some of these questions just make me go “Huh?” There is no secret! But I do take advantage of supplements as part of my fitness regimen. Continue reading
Matthew Weiner sat down with The Hollywood Reporter and discussed some interesting plot developments for the upcoming season of Mad Men — well, discussed them in that “top secret military clearance” way he has when discussing all things Mad Men. Continue reading
On January 5 and 6, 13 of my friends and I climbed into two 12-passenger vans and ran from Miami to Key West. This race is part of the Ragnar Relay Series.
Here’s how it works: Teams of 12 people are split up into two vans – van 1 and van 2. The 13th and 14th people are the van drivers. It’s not required to have a separate driver, but it’s nice to not have to worry about running and driving all hours of the night.
Each runner has three distances (legs) to complete. Total distances ranged from 10 miles to 22 miles. My first leg was 3 miles, my second was 8.2 and my final leg was 3 miles. Runners 1-6 are in van 1 and runners 7-12 are in van 2. After each leg, runners hand off a slap bracelet to the next runner. Continue reading
Happy birthday, FLOTUS! I think the President has a “little” something for you. Continue reading
I mentioned this play during Saturday’s NFL Open Thread:
Should San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith have scored the go-ahead touchdown against the New Orleans Saints? Maybe not. Continue reading
In the interests of helping the ever-evolving English language keep pace with the technological revolution — and with apologies to Germans everywhere — I offer this humble addition to our collective vocabulary.
Moylanfreude (noun)
The slightly shameful enjoyment derived from watching a once-great internet destination painfully and gracelessly tumble down a seemingly-infinite flight of stairs, precipitated, in no small part directly by, but certainly (via an internal company culture dedicated to many parallel and unfortunate characteristics*) encapsulated within, a particular writer who, for reasons upon which I decline to speculate, remains oust-proof in an organization demonstrably dedicated to a philosophy of near-recreational and self-destructive oustiness that verges on the whimsical.
