It’s on now, slores. Rebecca Dolores Vivian HeHitMe Victim Umbridge Masson has finally been eliminated, and the battle of Mad v Gay is about to escalate to a level of rage and bitchery the likes of which we haven’t seen. Aren’t you glad we’ll never have to look at Rebecca’s pink cast or martyr tears ever again? Join me after the jump for a peek at what’s in store for us tonight.
In Hammett’s The Thin Man, Nick Charles describes a man as “pleasantly ugly.” At the risk of opening a Pandora’s box of Jezebellian outbursts on the subjectivity of beauty, I pose the question to you slores: what famous person do you think of as pleasantly ugly? Is “pleasantly ugly” just a cruel way of saying “unconventionally good looking” or is there a distinction between those two? (Pic via)
Hey, snickerdoodles. Last week was fun, wasn’t it? The sugar pimps made candy bars, some more successful than others. Then they went to a water park, and all of them pretty much sucked like Dysons when it came to creating frozen treats that would refresh customers on a hot day. Angry Montel made some sort of horrific interpretation of a root beer float that seemed to be nothing at all like a root beer float; his dessert was described as heavy and looked disgusting. Gaygent Smith made some stupid thing that required him to leave his customers waiting for minutes in the nuclear hot sun. This seemed to be a problem for the judges at the time. Later, of course, they faulted whatsherface for making her funnel cakes ahead of time, insisting it would have been better to make people wait. Sure, judges. Johnny Iuzzini talked a bunch about how his mouth was coated in this or how that was stuck in the back of his throat. Johnny, I get it. Call me. In the end, ole whatsherface was sent home. What’s happening this week? Join me after the jump, and I’ll tell you all about it.
Pitchfork revealed the cover art for A Very She & Him Christmas yesterday. The image–shot by Autumn de Wilde–seems to be crying out for a caption. Pitchfork writer Amy Phillips asks, “Caption contest, anyone?” Amy, don’t mind if we do! A Very She & Him Christmas is out October 24th on Merge. So, Crassholes, take a look at the image after the jump and hit us with your best captions.
If you haven’t already, you should read the entries. They’re all great (though some of you still went over the maximum word count)! Some were funny, some quite clever, some moving. Thanks to everyone who participated, you guys are all the best. Now let’s get down to it. Which entry did I decide was the winner? I know you’re on pins and needles. Continue reading
Hello, dolls. It’s time for another fiction contest. This one was squeezed from the mindgrapes of furiouslyred; I’m just the vintner putting her idea juices in oak casks or whatever. I’m calling this one Crash Fiction as a combination of ‘crass’ and ‘flash.’ Branding! Continue reading
Last week was an extra special episode of Just Desserts, wasn’t it? Team Mad lost one of its angriest. And why? Because last week she wasn’t so angry. She was almost…likable. We can’t have that! You’re outta here, (not so) Angry Melissa! Also, finally — mercifully and rightfully — Beaker was tossed in the trash like a souffle that didn’t rise. See ya, Beaker! Team Gay is no weaker for having lost you. So what does this week have in store for us? Join me after the jump, and I’ll tell you. Continue reading
In Movieline’s Broadsheet post this morning, Stu VanAirsdale linked to a column on Andrew Breitbart’s site, Big Hollywood. In the column, Patrick Courrielche goes on at some length about what it’s like to be conservative in liberal Hollywood, at one point describing an interaction with two gay man at a dinner meeting and likening his own experiences as a conservative in Hollywood to the experience of coming out as gay.

Back in August I linked in one of the OTs to a story on Pitchfork about a long lost Daft Punk song that had been discovered. Initially intended to be released with “Rollin’ and Scratchin'” as Soma25, “Drive” wound being shelved in favor of the Daft Punk’s now classic tune, “Da Funk.” That was 1994. Flash forward to present day, and the long forgotten song was rediscovered as Soma was compiling its three disc Soma Records 20 Years retrospective. “Drive” is the first track on the Classics disc. Listen to the song after the jump. Continue reading
