Movie Etiquette: When Is It OK to Laugh/Cry/Scream/Clap in the Theater?
While writing up the Avengers teaser leak earlier today, I came across a great comment on YouTube complaining about audiences who go apeshit during a movie. The commenter asked, Why the hell do people in other countries cheer and clap during films? Yeah this was cool but how about trying to watch it? Is it an American thing? Having never seen a movie in a foreign country, I can’t answer the nationality part, but I can respond to the first part: Because it’s so much fun to share in the experience with everyone else. That said, not every movie warrants us to play Mystery Science Theater and talk back to the screen. Here’s a guide for when to cheer and when to shut yer trap. More »

‘Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade’ Movie in the Works–What’s Next, ‘St. Patrick’s Day’?
Blame Love Actually for making an epic, starstudded romantic comedy all about Christmas. Or blame American film studios, who have to copy everything that the UK does in the hopes of making a dime. The latter, with Garry Marshall as director, were responsible for 2010′s lukewarm Valentine’s Day, as well as its groan-inducing “sequel” New Year’s Eve, currently filming in New York City. Now movie producers are circling the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade as the subject of the next holiday-centric movie. More »
Exclusive: Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick Went Out on Valentine’s Day – But Not With Each Other
This Valentine’s Day, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick both went to the restaurant Odeon in New York’s TriBeCa neighborhood. However, the married couple didn’t come to the restaurant together. SJP was seated with an unidentified man believed to be her date for the night – “She was feeding him food off of her plate,” said a source, “and they looked pretty intimate to me.” As for Parker’s husband? Broderick walked in with friends Casey Affleck and Ben Stiller and sat at a table where they could view Parker easily. More »

Textual Healing: Responding To Late Valentine’s Day Texts
Text messaging is often the fastest way to communicate with friends and acquaintances, but it’s not always the best one. Especially when it comes to texting with guys. Here at Crushable we aim to help you sift through all the subtext and emerge relatively unscathed – with a little help from our friend Amanda Ernst.
Today is February 15. You loaded yourself full of Italian food and too much red wine last night while you commiserated partied with your single gal pals, and now you notice a text on your cell that you received sometime between your third glass of wine and when you stumbled, slightly hungover, from bed this morning.
If you’ve avoided replying on the most romantic day of the year to whatever some guy (who wasn’t cool enough to ask you out on Valentine’s Day) happened to think appropriate to text you, then I have some advice about how to proceed now.

Valentine’s OMG: The Guy From Owl City Has Written Taylor Swift A Love Song
One of the tracks on Taylor Swift‘s Speak Now was certainly about neither John Mayer nor Taylor Lautner: the swooning “Enchanted” tells the story of a single flirty night with a new acquaintance. Taylor refused to disclose the subject of the song, admitting only that it was someone she met in New York City. However, Private Eye Internet deduced it was Owl City’s Adam Young that Taylor met that night — and Adam has apparently confirmed the sleuthing! More »

Valentine’s Day Experiment: The Love Playlist
As a single girl, I’m loathe to love Valentine’s Day. But whether its because I’m a hopeless romantic at heart, or because I’m a sucker for red and pink, I just can’t help but get in the holiday spirit.
A few days ago, Justin Bieber‘s “Somebody to Love” popped up on my iPod, and I had an idea. A Valentine’s Day challenge if you will. How many songs with the word “love” in them were crowding my song library? How many of them did I actually like? I went through all my songs and made a playlist with only songs with the L word in them, then edited it down for quality and repeat tracks from the same artists (the worst repeat offenders included Justin Timberlake and John Mayer). The result is a somewhat embarrassing look at my taste in music and a fun V-Day themed playlist that you can enjoy, too. If you like power ballads about broken hearts and sappy love songs. More »

Valentines Day falls on a Monday this year. Looks like my case of the Mondays is about to become a CRATE, am I right ladies? I mean come on, it’s like I need a snooze button for my snooze button.

8 Nicki Minaj-Branded Valentine’s Day Gifts Better Than These Pink Flowers
Guess what? If you head over to 1-800 Flowers right now you can order a bouquet of specially-branded Nicki Minaj flowers! So, what are they? Rainbow-colored orchids in a bed of neon baby’s breath?

Well screw that: If we’re going Nicki, we’d rather get (or give!) a Valentine’s Day gift that really captures the essence of Miss Minaj. More »
