Two photogenic teens from Miami who wouldn't look entirely out of place starring in a cable movie about the royal wedding (omgomg, just a few more hours!) have gone missing. Police are calling it "a modern day Romeo and Juliet."
Last night's Daily Show featured Jon Stewart's criticism of Donald Trump for continuing to be a total ass following President Obama's release of his birth certificate. On tonight's show, however, Stewart focused on the media's reaction to it all. Spoiler: MSNBC and Fox News took different routes with their coverage.
With the royal wedding just hours away and the resultant media coverage as frenzied as a pack of screeching women at a bachelorette party, we're all thinking a lot about weddings at the moment. I decided that I hate weddings, and here are some of the reasons why.
On tonight's extended episode of The Office, Michael Scott—the lovingly buffoonish boss portrayed for the last seven years by Steve Carell—said his final goodbyes to the folks at Dunder Mifflin. And when it came to those goodbyes, Michael saved the best—a last-minute airport bear hug—for last. Here are the emotional final few minutes.
Are you one of the millions of people worldwide who count a dog, cat, ferret, or any manner of other non-human, eating-and-pooping creatures among your family members? If so, take note: You may want to reconsider the term "pet" when referring to them. An editorial in the Journal of Animal Ethics says that term, along with words like "critters" and "beasts," is derogatory language that can give your four-legged loved ones an inferiority complex.
"Money, so they say, is the root of all evil today." A Pink Floyd song once said that. But it's also the root of all sequels, so feast your eyes upon this gleaming pile of Hollywood excreta. It's the Transformers: Dark of the Moon trailer, everybody! The gang's back to answer all your unanswered questions from the last Transformers movie. It looks like Michael Bay has finally ironed the kinks out of this franchise and produced a motion picture that will deliver on every level. Move over, Inception — a new breed of thinking-man's blockbuster is in town, and it goes "BONNG! BONNG! BONNG!," too. You'll barely even miss what's-her-face. Also: Remember when Shia LaBeouf was a thing? He's totally going to be a thing again when this comes out! Mark my words. [YouTube]
Yesterday, we brought you the unusual story of Harlan Porter, a teacher arrested for wandering naked around the halls of the Georgia school that had recently fired him, speaking of a "new level of enlightenment" and an open "third eye." It turns out that wasn't Porter's first raw, public exploration of matters metaphysical, as we've discovered these outtakes from his one-man show, The Evolution of U.
Facebook has become embroiled in an increasingly embarrassing series of controversies over its heavy-handed censoring of user content. This will never end unless Facebook stops caving instantly to every random troll with an axe to grind.
Think you're middle class? Bullshit! Idiots! Nobody in the entire world knows what class they're in, these days. Rich Americans don't think they're rich until they're septa-millionaires. And foreigners are just as bad; a new study of 1,100 Argentinians found that "everyone thought they were basically middle class."
ZOMG! The national security world is totally as petty, gossipy and vicious as a pack of 13 year old girls. Just look at the hysteria surrounding supposed Twitter spy "Shawna Gorman."
This morning we heard that "psycho loose cannon" actor Alex Pettyfer has "Thank You" tattooed above his penis, "in case I forget to say it." Now V Man, the magazine that quoted Pettyfer on that, has kindly provided photographic evidence of said crotch tattoo. Unfortunately, since the web versions of their photos are kind of small. I feel like I'm squinting at a too-small line of text at the opthamologist's office.
Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett is proposing massive cuts to the state's higher education system in his budget proposal, including reducing aid to colleges and universities by 50 percent. But! And this is important! Six lucky colleges and universities in the Pennsylvania higher education system, Corbett says, have an easy way of making up that difference: Open the campuses to natural gas drilling, because there's a fucking goldmine under College Green.
Tonight is Steve Carell's final episode of The Office, a show few people were happy to hear was being made but somehow became a critical and popular success, largely due to Carell's go-for-broke performance.
In February, CBS abruptly announced that its correspondent Lara Logan "suffered a brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating" in Cairo while covering the Egyptian revolution. It was odd to make a such a strong, vague statement; it got everyone's attention, but nobody knew what it really meant.
Newsweek/Daily Beast celebupundit Andrew Sullivan really, really wants to see Trig Palin's birth certificate, thinks Obama should have released his earlier, and has lots of righteous things to say about how real reporters demand to see documents. Funny thing—we're trying to get documents about you, Andrew! Care to help?
Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld doesn't go anywhere without his traveling companion and muse Baptiste Giabiconi. Now he's reserved a very interesting honor for the comely young man: Uncle Karl has sculpted the boy in chocolate. Remember Karl, it melts in your mouth, not in your hand. We wonder what it's filled with when you bite into it!
The first debate of the 2012 Republican presidential primary season is on May 5. That's but one se'en-day away! Fox News is sponsoring, live from South Carolina. The setting has all the trappings of a lively Republican political discussion about our nation's future. But as of now, only a handful of potential candidates plan on showing. What's up with all the other losers?
