Style Report: These aren’t your pet sheep’s UGGS
Disclosure: UGGs were like the bane of my existence during college. Although I went to school in sunny Southern California, clunky beige UGGs were the shoe of choice for 95% of my classmates. The gals wore their boots coupled with really expensive sweatpants and hoodies with our school’s logo — as if any of us could possibly forget where we were. It was like, figure out a style of your own, people! But alas, the hefty fur-lined boot is undergoing a rebrand. The photo at left shows the results of a collab with Jimmy Choo — and shelves are also being stocked with pumps, sneaks, and sleek equestrian boots. More »

Video: Lea Michele and Matthew Morrison In Live ‘Rocky Horror’
We could barely contain our excitement today when we saw pics of the star-laden Rocky Horror Picture Show tribute performance last night. But then we saw this covert video of Glee‘s Lea Michele and Matthew Morrison performing Dammit Janet and squealed loudly (on the inside). Of course, it brings that uncomfortable GQ spread to mind: trying to separate Lea from her character of Rachel Berry is hard, and seeing her pretend to make out with Mr. Schue -even though we know they’re both adults – makes us feel funny down there.

‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Doll Recap: To The Palms, Stat!
On last night’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the girls broke out of the stuffy confines of 90210 and went to Las Vegas. Also, Camille Grammer continued trying to break out of husband Kelsey’s shadow by reminding everyone that she is Kelsey Grammer’s wife, dammit. But don’t take our word for it! Join Crushable’s Barbie Repertory Theatre for the best scenes from this week’s episode.

Video: ‘Weekend At Bernie’s’ Dance Craze Alert

That’s right, Weekend at Bernie’s, the 1989 movie about a group of friends who lug a dead guy around for days is now officially a franchise.

Don’t have a job? Join Sean Penn in Haiti!
Last night at Huffington Post’s celebration of its 100 Game Changers, we bumped into Sean Penn, who was asking people to donate to his Haitian charity, the Jenkins-Penn Haitian Relief Organization. “What about young people who may not have the money to donate? What can they do to help?” I asked him, worried that I might be given the Tara Palmeri treatment and be forcibly removed from the premises. More »
Gallery: Evan Rachel Wood, Matthew Morrison Perform ‘Rocky Horror’
My favorite musical of all time, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, turned 25 this week. To commemorate, a bunch of Hollywood actors – Jack Nicholson, Evan Rachel Wood, Jorge Garcia, Lucas Gabreel, Matthew Morrison, Lea Michele, Julian McMahon, and George Lopez, among others – got together and did the time warp again by performing the entire show to benefit The Painted Turtle, a California hospital for terminally ill children. While the intentions are good, once again we have to ask: is this appropriate for kids? More »
Love It Or Leave It: Leighton Meester’s Temp Chanel Tattoo
Leighton Meester graces the cover of Marie Claire UK’s December issue, in a series of beautiful images that celebuzz has up right now. In our favorite, she’s sporting a bird tattoo. It looks awfully familiar, but we didn’t remember Leighton having any tattoos on her shoulder. As it turns out, it is one of Chanel’s temporary tattoos from the label’s Spring-Summer 2010 collection.
And we’d argue, it’s their best fake tattoo. But is it worth $75 to get a fake (or temporary) Chanel? More »
Crushable Quotable: Don’t Ask Patricia Arquette About Courteney Cox
Patricia Arquette accompanied her brother David to the Onexone Gala in New York City this week, and apparently she does not share her brother’s penchant for oversharing. David was more than happy to tell Howard Stern all the gritty details of his divorce from Courteney Cox, but when reporters asked Patricia about the split, she threw a temper tantrum. Apparently, asking about her brother’s love life is like asking if she masturbates. It sounds like the Arquettes have some family ish when it comes to marital matters.
According to US Weekly, this was Patricia’s response to questions about the divorce:
“How are you doing? How is your kid doing? Have you ever had anything happen in your life? What’s the worst thing that you’ve ever had happen to you? Do you ever masturbate? Have you ever had an abortion? I mean, can you imagine these kind of questions? Can you imagine? Can you imagine? It’s not alright! It’s not alright!”

Cutegreggator: Babies Dressed Like Grown-Ups
We imagine there must be other reasons to have a baby than getting to dress them up in hilarious costumes every Halloween, but we can’t think of any at the moment. There’s something so very cute about an infant dressed up like a grown-up! Warning: It doesn’t work the other way around, so ditch that giant rattle pronto. More »
Gratuitous ‘Chris Evans As Captain America’ Shot
So I’m not the biggest Chris Evans fan in the entire world, but even I have to admit that in this photo from Entertainment Weekly, Chris looks totally doable. I’m just still not sure how someone can be the Human Torch in one film and the Captain America in the other. Too confusing for comic book fans! Also: wasn’t Kellan Lutz available that you made Chris Evan gain 50 pounds of muscle for this role? More »
Facebook Experiment: What’s My Age Again?!
Yesterday as an experiment, I changed my Facebook birthday to read October 28th. How many of my friends – close or not – would recognize that it was not in fact my birthday? Distant connections can’t be asked to remember things like my birth date. But what about close friends? The answers were surprising.
After checking my profile for the first time all day, I found that 82 of my friends believed it was my birthday, and had written messages on my wall. Decent turnout! But then I did some research, only to find that a mere 56 friends wrote on my for my actual birthday. I am a very vocal person and, since on my last real birthday I turned 20, wouldn’t you think that friends would know it was my 21st before glancing at it on the right hand side of a website? More »
Lost In Translation: Be Rougher
(Lost in Translation is our weekly column from a college guy’s perspective.)
What the hell does “be rougher” actually mean? I’m really up the creek without a paddle, or one of those Magnum condoms I might be able to blow up into a flotation device, in these rapids.
A few weeks ago, I was very aggressively stripping down, stumbling out of my brand new skinny jeans (I had shed a few pounds and thought they really complimented my slimmer figure), and tripped onto the bare chest of this girl that had those damn denim spandex fitting just a little too snug around my, well, waist. I continued to tear through that unintentional contraceptive, ripping an appropriately positioned hole in the crotch, before finally freeing myself of its suffocating grasp and standing there surveying all in front of me, flag flying high, ready to stake my claim in the newfound territory.
I proceeded to march in, all Lewis and Clarke in my swagger, when I hear the devastating whisper of, “not yet.” More »

Celeb Tweetup: Lunch Time
You know how old people always say that Twitter’s just a forum for talking about what you had for lunch? And then you’re stuck defending the site, saying stuff like “er, but, there are actually some really funny people on there!” But the thing is, sometimes people really do use the service just to tweet about food. That certainly happened today on quite a few celeb Twitters. More »
Being A ‘Teen Mom’ Is Profitable: MTV’s Stars Make $60K Each
MTV has found a good way to keep its stars barefoot and pregnant – or at least coming back to film shows for the network: more money then they could ever make otherwise. The stars of MTV’s hit show ‘Teen Mom’ are mostly high school dropouts with few job prospects. But MTV is taking good care of them. According to Life & Style, MTV’s teen moms make between $60,000 and $65,000 a season.
That’s twice as much as Bravo’s Real Housewives. And enough to buy two barns!* More »
‘Real Housewives’ Was Kelsey Grammer’s Parting Gift To Camille
Kelsey Grammer is the most famous person to appear on Bravo’s “Real Housewives” series, and it’s hard to know to what would motivate him to put his marriage up for that level of scrutiny. According to his wife Camille, Kelsey was already checked out of the marriage when filming started, and Real Housewives was his parting gift to her.
