So, Who Did Jennifer Love Hewitt Jerk Off This Week?

Rich Juzwiak · 04/23/12 08:58AM

On this week's episode of The Jennifer Love Hewitt Handjob Hour The Client List , Love's character Riley serviced a slightly older dude. But have no fear: he was just as improbably cut up and handsome as anyone who's blown by The Rub to get tugged at. It's a good thing this happy-ending massage parlor exists otherwise these extremely hot dudes would never get off. Poor guys.

"It's Fun": Ragtag Beekeepers Remove Honey Bees From Tree By Hand

Neetzan Zimmerman · 04/23/12 08:48AM

A makeshift pair of pest control specialists are called upon to relocate a colony of honey bees found hanging from a tree. Having no equipment and little sense, they decide to use their hands to scoop the swarm off the branch, and dump it into a cardboard box. Better still: "Transportation of the bees was an open box in front seat on daniel's lap."

You Have No Idea What Your Cosmetics Are Doing to You

Hamilton Nolan · 04/23/12 08:39AM

People with half a god damn brain in their heads not drugged to a stupor by that evil emotion "hope" have long understood that "anti-wrinkle creams" are bullshit. That, of course, has not stopped Americans from buying them by the truckload. We are a fundamentally dumb people. We must be protected from ourselves.

Here Is an Amazing Photo of Cher and Chaz Bono From the GLAAD Awards

Louis Peitzman · 04/22/12 04:35PM

Last night, Cher presented her son Chaz Bono with GLAAD's Stephen F. Kolzak Award, and it was kind of amazing. Bono was also honored for the documentary Becoming Chaz, which chronicled his transition from female to male. In the film, Cher admitted some difficulty thinking of Chaz as a man after watching him grow up as a woman. This delightful picture of Cher (and her hair) embracing Bono is a nice reflection of how far they've come.

The High Cost of Looking Low Class

Yesterday I posted a link to $525 paint-splattered shoes — you, too, can look like a manual laborer. But this was also a call for submissions: what is the most expensive apparel you can buy to make yourself look poor? Here are some of the most egregious items you sent in.

How Long Can You Watch This Man Suffer From the Ghost Pepper Challenge?

Louis Peitzman · 04/22/12 12:50PM


Chances are, consuming a Bhut Jolokia chili pepper is a lot more painful than watching someone else do it. But this lengthy video of YouTuber TheBronx19740 ("just a local guy living in the bronx that always tells it how it is") taking the "ghost pepper challenge" is pretty brutal. And yes, there's also a sick pleasure associated with watching him guzzle milk to no avail: the ghost pepper's fire will not be quenched.

Louis Peitzman · 04/22/12 11:58AM

Suspect payments totaling $24 million have tainted Walmart's operations in Mexico. In a statement released by the company, Walmart acknowledged an investigation related to compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. This follows a damning New York Times article, which alleges a cover-up of widespread bribery.

Swing States Are Swinging Toward Obama

Unemployment is down in swing states, which means support for Barack Obama is up. Recent polls show the president has an advantage over Republican candidate Mitt Romney. And it's still the economy, stupid.

Louis Peitzman · 04/22/12 09:14AM

If you were looking for good news to jumpstart your Sunday morning or at least distract you from your hangover, Bee Gees co-founder Robin Gibb has woken up from his coma. Last weekend, it was reported that Gibb's condition was very serious, and that "his family [was] keeping vigil at his bedside in a London hospital."

Chuck Colson, Nixon's 'Hatchet Man' Turned Evangelist, Dead at 80

Louis Peitzman · 04/21/12 04:31PM

While some will likely lament the passing of Chuck Colson, who died today at age 80, his legacy does not exactly inspire mourning. While he devoted much of his later life to Christianity, Colson went to prison for his involvement in Watergate. To ensure Richard Nixon's reelection, Colson once said he would "walk over my own grandmother."

Carey Mulligan Marries Marcus Mumford, Merrily

Louis Peitzman · 04/21/12 04:01PM

Freakishly adorable English actress Carey Mulligan is officially off the market: today she married Mumford & Sons' Marcus Mumford — thereby forcing many bloggers to resort to alliteration. The whole thing sounds lovely, in part because they both have accents, but also because there were no paparazzi present.

Think Like a Man: Straight People Are Weird, Could Use Some Queerness

Rich Juzwiak · 04/21/12 02:10PM

There is a small, but palpable sense of disgust for gay men in Tim Story's Think Like a Man, which is based on comedian/self-styled love expert Steve Harvey's inane self-help book with a slightly longer title, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man. The only explicitly homo dude we ever see is in a pink polo, swishing his shoulders as he attempts to fight women shoppers from grabbing the book he's about to buy ("For me!" he says with several S's). Gayness is otherwise relegated to the taboo: the group of six men the film follows routinely freak out when they are in the presence of a shirtless or under-dressed buddy (this mild gay panic ensues in kitchens and locker rooms). Sentiments like violin-playing proving that one's son is gay and that one must qualify his Oprah-watching with, "No homo," are expressed. A guy buying a book for his mother's book club is deemed "kinda gay" by a female character, and after dazzling a pretty woman (played by Kelly Rowland) at a bar, Romany Malco's character, Zeke, tells her confusingly, "I'm gonna walk away like a fairy now." Um, bye.
