‘Teen Mom 2′: Would You Hire Jenelle Evans At Your Restaurant?
On one of the last episodes of this season of Teen Mom 2, wild child Jenelle Evans got fired from her job as a waitress when she up and drove to New Jersey with boyfriend Kieffer Delp without notifying anyone– ANYONE– of her plans. The fact that she managed to charge $700 to her mom’s credit card during her little jaunt up north has been well-documented, but she didn’t stop at just that. Oh no. She also skipped out on a whole bunch of shifts at her restaurant. While it clearly would have been too much to ask that she find someone to cover her shifts, you’d think that she’d at least have the presence of mind to call in and lie that she was sick or something; but no. She just didn’t bother to show up. So naturally, when she returned, her ass got fired. So guess what, folks? Jenelle is back on the job hunt! And, gee, who WOULDN’T want this model employee on their staff? More »

Crushed In the Cubicle: How Not To Get Drunk In Front Of The Boss
The first time I got drunk in front of a boss, I was 20. It was the box office celebration party for an arts festival I’d been working at, and somewhere between 4 p.m. and way too many amaretto sours, I told my boss the following things: That I was seriously considering getting my nipples pierced, that I was wearing a green thong but I preferred boy shorts, and that I really, really wanted to hook up with our waiter.

Crushed In The Cubicle: Are You Gonna Eat That Donut?
An office pal brought donuts to work. I ate half of a Boston cream, then remembered my commitment to eating healthy. I threw the rest in my trashcan. A few hours later, I got slammed with work. I got cranky. And I needed carbs. I saw the half of the donut sitting there, on top of an abandoned Us Weekly magazine, and I dove in and grabbed it – right before I realized that my super blonde, super skinny, super pulled together boss saw me.

Has Lindsay Lohan Helped Sam Make Money?
Has Lindsay Lohan helped Samantha Ronson’s career? That’s the question that the NY Daily News is asking, and I have no doubt at all that it’s true.
