Like, Whitney Cummings, Like, Interviewed Mindy Kaling on, Like, Her New Talk Show

Rich Juzwiak · 11/29/12 03:50PM

Whitney Cummings' new E! talk show, Love You, Mean It, debuted last night and her first guest was Mindy Kaling. They gnawed the air at each other, swapped compliments and said "like" collectively over 40 times. I strung together all of the latter instances for the reel above. Many of us are guilty of this, myself included. Every time I catch myself doing this, I grind my teeth and one day soon I won't have any teeth and pronouncing a word like "like" will approach impossibility. I'm just saying, like, let's all be more aware of it.

Looking for the Revolution Outside a Wendy's in Brooklyn

Hamilton Nolan · 11/29/12 03:20PM

By 11:30 this morning, several dozen people wrapped in winter coats and wielding hand-drawn posters had assembled on the corner in front of the Wendy's on the Fulton Mall in downtown Brooklyn, across from the Modell's and the Bank of America, with the purpose of addressing that most fascinating question in labor relations: Can fast food workers ever be unionized? Here, in New York, today, a lot of fast food workers decided to skip the theory and proceed directly to the "Fuck you, pay me" phase of the process.

'It's All Gonna Be Back': Hunter Moore Lied About Wiping Is Anyone Up's Archives

Camille Dodero · 11/29/12 02:30PM

Sext hustler Hunter Moore has announced plans to launch a new-and-improved site that publishes revenge-porn nudes with names, social-networking links, and home addresses. Along with this user-driven stalker map, the 26-year-old is also threatening to repost much of the old content from his previous site, Is Anyone Up, on HunterMoore.tv. That theoretically means the founder of Dream Water, Twilight star Kiowa Gordon—plus a whole assortment of unwitting Taco Bell employees, teachers, and college kids who thought they were in the clear—will once again be naked online.

Stop Calling Black Singers 'Rappers' Already

Rich Juzwiak · 11/29/12 12:10PM

The New York Times really wants you to know that Chris Brown is a rapper. In fewer than 100 words of the original copy of John Ortved's tweet roundup "Chris Brown Signs Off," including the headline and picture caption, Brown is referred to as a "rapper" three times. Wrong. Chris Brown is not a rapper. Yes, he raps on occasion. Sometimes, he is specifically commissioned to do so. But he is also a dancer. And an actor. And, oh yeah, that thing on which he based his career in the first place: a singer.

Studio@Gawker · 11/29/12 11:59AM

You aren't in high school anymore, so the smart and hot thing is a total go. The "oops-I'm-handsome" nuclear physicist look works on anyone, and fake drugstore frames just aren't going to cut it. Warby Parker's reasonably-priced, stylish glasses and sunglasses will rescue you from looking painfully unhip, tragically doltish, and, frankly, a little boring.

Dad of the Year Loves Daughter Enough to Beat Up Everyone at Her High School

Michael Canaii (pictured, on throne) is the father of a high school-aged daughter here in New York City. And when he heard rumors that his daughter was acting out in adolescent rebellion, he did what any good father would do: showed up at her high school "swinging a heavy chain with a padlock" while threatening to "fight anyone in his path," all while demanding, "Who's fucking my daughter?"

How Are You Going to Spend the $550 Million You Just Won in the Powerball Drawing?

Taylor Berman · 11/28/12 11:24PM

Congratulations, person holding the ticket with 5-16-22-23-29, PB-6 on it! You just won the $550 million Powerball. That's right, you proved the naysayers wrong, and you're rich. But now what? As the haters will rush to remind you, winning the lottery is not always the best thing that could happen, but you'll prove them wrong. But first, how are you going to spend that half a billion and change? And if, for some reason, you didn't win tonight (impossible, I know), how will you spend your hard-earned fortune once your lucky numbers come up in a few months, which will definitely happen?
