Dolce & Gabbana Sues Dolce & Banana

Maureen O'Connor · 03/30/12 04:13PM

Dolce & Banana, a Cape Town jewelry shop that sells beaded necklaces to tourists, has been slapped with a trademark infringement lawsuit from none other than Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana. South African craft enthusiast Mijou Beller has since changed the name of her store to "...And Banana." She says she doesn't have the 100,000 South African rands ($13,195) to pay back the legal fees D&G claims she owes them. She is, however, pleased to have been featured in VOGUE.

Today marks the release of Bully, a "moving and troubling documentary" about the victims of adolescent bullying.

Louis Peitzman · 03/30/12 03:05PM

Depending on how much you enjoy making an ass of others (or having an ass made of you), April Fool's Day can be a sacred holiday. There are those who have elevated pranking to an art form: gone are the days when you could simply swap the salt and sugar, or fake a teen pregnancy.

Which Celebrities Would You Let Raise Your Kids?

Drew Magary · 03/30/12 02:26PM

If you have kids of your own, you know how insane it is when some famous idiot like Angelina Jolie is talking to a magazine and is like, "Oh, we all hang out at home together and watch movies in bed!" Of course you do. I'm sure flying to Cambodia to shoot ludicrous Louis Vuitton ads only takes five minutes out of your day. The rest is all dedicated to you and your 12,000 little ones.

Can You Believe This Guy Is a Serial Killer?

Emma Carmichael · 03/30/12 11:57AM

Weird, right? He looks so normal-eyed and harmless! But 65-year-old trucker Robert Ben Rhoades, currently serving a life sentence for the murder of a 14-year-old Illinois girl, is believed to have killed "an average of three women a month by the early 1990s."

Pauly D's New Show Confirms That Jersey Shore Is Dead

Rich Juzwiak · 03/30/12 09:28AM

Last night, MTV premiered The Pauly D Project, but it was more of a chore than a project. A spin-off documenting the jet-setting life of the most likeable Jersey Shore cast member (not that that's saying much) and his band of disciples, Project has all the charisma and excitement of belly button lint acting out Entourage.

Newspaper Fires Reporter for Being a Stripper, But She Makes $2000 a Night So She's 'Doing Pretty Well'

Maureen O'Connor · 03/30/12 09:01AM

Sarah Tressler, the Piven-schtupping stripper caught living a shameful secret life as a society reporter, broke her silence on Good Morning America today. She says employer The Houston Chronicle fired her for "not disclosing" her secret sidejob as an "Angry Stripper" with an anonymous blog. (The Chronicle won't comment on what happened.) She doesn't seem too upset, though.

Dick's Got a New Heart: Why Cheney's Transplant Makes a Good Case For ObamaCare

Mobutu Sese Seko · 03/30/12 08:00AM

Last weekend, America's subterranean war monster, Lord Kinbote Dick Cheney, received a new heart from a Virginia hospital. Apparently, he even got it legally, although we'll never know if the hospital in question first deferred him five times. The right got a new faintly Obamacare-related talking point, and the left—even as it worried about the invalidation of the most important health care reform in generations—well, it didn't really get it at all.

Let Stephen Colbert Teach You How to Start a Super PAC

Matt Toder · 03/29/12 11:01PM

Stephen Colbert creating his own Super PAC was a stroke of genius as it has given him an endless comedy well. However, the Colbert Super PAC isn't just a joke, it has actually taken in more donations in the state of Texas than the pro-Romney PAC "Restore Our Future." With that in mind, on tonight's Colbert Report, Stephen introduced the Stephen Colbert Super PAC Super Fun Pack which has everything you need to start your own. Let's just say that the Super Fun Pack is appropriately named.
