How Many Female Writers Are There On Late Night Shows?
Statette compiled this depressing infographic about the number of women working as writers on late night comedy shows. Not surprisingly, the show with the highest percentage of female writers is also the only one hosted by a woman, Chelsea Handler. More »
Snap This: What Happens When You Combine “Ugly” Celebrities
Redditor iamgame made a sort of visual celebrity bracket, combining 16 older male celebrities that he considered conventionally unattractive. It’s a strange bunch: Seth Rogen and Steve Buscemi sit side-by-side with Hitler and Marilyn Manson. I definitely wouldn’t argue that all of these men are ugly per se, but my personal view isn’t the point of this. After iamgame spent two hours on MorphThing, he’d come up with the image above. Though we (and, I imagine, he) may have expected an amalgamation of unattractive men to create the most unattractive man, you actually get the reverse: An average-looking guy. (Also, I need to make the Rowan Atkinson/Michael Jackson mash-up my avatar on some site.) More »
Video: Conan O’Brien Wears A Spirit Hood!
Vanessa Hudgens was a guest on Conan last night, and she brought Mr. O’Brien a Spirit Hood! He got the wolf, which is cute, but we totally would have pegged CoCo as a panda. Also, in her interview we learn that Vanessa and her mom hang out at the Saddle Ranch Chop House in West Hollywood, which is where all the sorority girls we went to college with would go to ride the mechanical bull and vomit.
Bull Spirit Hood, anyone? More »
Gallery: The Best Celebrity Tweets for Twitter’s 5th Birthday
Five years ago today, the first tweet was sent. What followed was a social media revolution embraced by some and derided by others, mostly over the notion of oversharing. But Twitter has also become a tool that breaks down the barriers between celebrities and their fans, and providing to-the-moment citizen journalism thanks to fast thumbs and Twitpics.
When it’s a celebrity’s birthday, we at Crushable usually come up with a gallery of the best photos of that person. So how do we ring in Twitter’s fifth year of giving celebs mouthpieces and bringing fans closer to their idols? With a gallery of the most TMI, unnecessary, astounding, controversial tweets! More »

12 Sexy Men Who Break the Mold
Everybody knows that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, that what one person may deem beautiful another may feel is average, or not attractive at all. In the celebrity world, there are always certain people that the majority of women find attractive, with classic good looks: the chiseled features, perfect noses and lips. We’re talking Brad Pitt, Denzel Washington, Eric Bana, Orlando Bloom, George Clooney, Kellan Lutz, Robert Pattinson, and of course Johnny Depp. More »

Don your best finger stache and have a look at our gallery. More »
Crushable Quotable: Jason Sudeikis Sounds Off About Lasers
Jason Sudeikis has been a busy man this week. He’s out promoting his new movie Hall Pass, and generally sharing awesome opinions on things of non-importance.
Earlier in the week he informed the world of his love of spicy chicken wings on Conan. And today BlackBook has a video of Jason getting all political about the future of lasers. A highlight:
“I had a birthday party in sixth grade… and it was awesome. But it was all LED lights… You didn’t know if you were hitting something all the time. That was 25 years ago. And here we are still dealing with this Mickey Mouse LED shit.

Conan Has Nicolas Cage Homeland Security Threat Level - “If we’ve just been upgraded from Con Air to Wicker Man, the terrorists have won!!” (Huffington Post)
Video: Did Tim & Eric Finally Outweird Conan?
It’s hard to faze Conan O’Brien. Unlike Jay Leno or David Letterman, the prime-time talk show host not only courts bizarre guests, but openly cultivates his own brand of absurdest comedy (masturbating bear, anyone?).
So the challenge for weirdos extraordinaires Tim & Eric last night was, “How do you freak out the unflappable Coco?” More »
Gallery: The Hottest Dudes At The People’s Choice Awards
Last night’s People’s Choice Awards has the dubious honor of being both the first awards show of 2011 and the first awards show to give a prize to $#*! My Dad Says. Questionable choice? But enough about the actual prizes, we came for the hot dudes. Cory Monteith and Zac Efron were there, along with Outsourced cutie Ben Rappaport and out personal weird celebrity crush, Conan O’Brien. People’s choice, indeed! More »
Love It Or Leave It: Conan O’Brien’s Jeggings
Conan O’Brien hit the airwaves in a pair of jeggings last night (as promised!), and we’re somewhat torn about their sartorial merit. On the one hand, Conan’s slender figure is ideal for the jeans leggings look, and that color suits him nicely. On the other hand, we’re not sure the pants go with the rest of Coco’s outfit. Maybe if he’d worn a different shoe, like a topsider without socks, the look would have worked better? And he could probably lose the tie as this particular pair of jeggings fall on the more casual end of the spectrum. More »
Video: Conan And Tim Gunn Talk Jeggings
We defer to Tim Gunn on all things sartorial, and when he says Conan O’Brien should not wear jeggings we have no choice but to agree that Conan O’Brien should not wear jeggings! Or even a full jegging jumpsuit like Andy Richter suggests in this clip. But is there anyone who can get away with the denim legging look? In this case, great minds don’t think alike. Watch Tim and Conan debate one of the most polarizing issues of our time. More »
Poll: What Did You Think Of The ‘Conan’ Premiere?
Conan premiered last night, you guys! And what did we get for all that anticipation? Well, the Masturbating Bear made an appearance, as did the grimy L.A. River. Conan O’Brien‘s first guests were Seth Rogen (who was adorably nervous), Lea Michelle (who was mostly likable!) and Jack White (who was just Jack White). Conan was his own musical guest, accompanying Jack on a Nashville-twangy song.
The show lived up to its eponymous title as nearly all the jokes focused on Conan’s Tonight Show debacle — which is to say the content was primarily about the host himself. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing! Conan’s brand of humor has always made himself the mode for delivering jokes. As opposed to a Letterman or a Leno, known for their monologues, or a Fallon whose sketch background means his strength is the characters he becomes, Conan makes people laugh most when he’s using his lanky limbs to dance or mocking his own shortcomings.

Fan Fiction: Conan’s First Guest Is Me
Before the show gets going, let me just say that it is such an honor to be Conan’s first guest. I hear the other contenders for the gig were Brad Pitt, President Obama and the ghost of J.D. Salinger — so I guess you could say I’m in decent company. Heh!
I’m hanging out in the green room (which is orange) right now. Conan’s in the makeup trailer getting his face powdered. His artist confided in me that she uses extract of polar bear fur on Conan’s face because it’s the best match for his skintone. She’s even begun to marked the powder as something called “CoCo” which is one of the 45 Eskimo words for snow and also a very confusing label for something that looks like the opposite of chocolate.

Video: Conan O’Brien’s First TBS TV Show
Well, if you weren’t Team Coco all the way before, maybe the image of Conan O’Brien hosing his desk down to the “Put Some Sugar On Me” will change your mind. Weird, we know we’re not supposed to be turned on by this… More »
