News: Entertainment News | 7 Jul 2010 | 3:37 am 6 Sequels Lindsay Lohan Should Star InSome people have claimed that Lindsay Lohan’s acting career is over and done with. We don’t find this to be the case. Sure, she’s been sentenced to 90 days in jail for violating her probation. But if you take a closer look at the photos that have emerged from her sentencing, you’ll see that she isn’t so much a lost child abandoned by her parents for drugs and alcohol, but rather a shining young star ready to make her come back. And so, we present 6 sequels Lindsay Lohan could easily star in based on her court performance yesterday. Casting directors, no need to thank us. (Actually, you know what, thank us.)
(ps An actual movie getting made.)
Here’s to hoping Miley Cyrus scheduling conflict .
Actual title. Also great news for S. Epatha Merkerson!
We know she’s got boxing in her blood, thanks to daddy Michael Lohan’s stint on Academy Award Winning “Celebrity Boxing.”

Source: Vulture | 6 Jul 2010 | 11:16 pm Obama Appoints Health Official, Avoids Senate Confirmation Berwick. The president will be bypassing Congress to appoint health policy expert Donald M. Berwick as the chief of Medicare and Medicaid, the White House said Tuesday. Obama moved forward with the "recess appointment" because, according to White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer, “many Republicans in Congress have made it clear in recent weeks that they were going to stall the nomination as long as they could, solely to score political points.” Berwick will have all the powers of a permanent appointee, though his term will expire at the end of the next session of Congress in late 2011. The appointment is seen as somewhat surprising considering the Senate is in recess for a short period of time (less than two weeks) and senators were still waiting for him to respond to their requests for information. As the Times puts it, “Although hospital executives who have worked with Dr. Berwick describe him as a visionary, inspiring leader, he would have faced a long, difficult struggle to win Senate confirmation.” Obama to Bypass Senate to Name Health Official [NYT] Read more posts by Josh Duboff Filed Under: appointments, barack obama, congress, donald berwick, medicaid, medicare

The troubled pop star has a (very!) enthusiastic supporter in Inferno director Matthew Wilder, who promised that production will resume on the Linda Lovelace biopic once LiLo serves her time. "This is a sad chapter in the ongoing tragicomic circus between the tabloid media and the 'justice' system," Wilder wrote in a statement. "An outrageously outsized sentence garners attention for all the players involved, but brings only sadness to the poor soul who has to serve it. I am 100% behind Lindsay and can say the same for everyone involved in the production of Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story. Indeed, we are proud to have this remarkable artist work on our film."
"And as for the haters relishing this moment, I can only quote Jesus in The Last Temptation of Christ: 'And those who are laughing now...will be crying after.'"

Source: Vulture | 6 Jul 2010 | 6:58 pm Jail: Now With 100% More Lindsay Lohan!So, what’s going on here is that Lindsay Lohan is going to jail. Look, TMZ even has a video of her being sentenced.
See her face? That’s Lindsay’s just-got-jailed face. She violated her parole by… I… I don’t know. She didn’t go to drug classes? It’s somewhere along those lines. To be entirely honest with you people, I just don’t know much about Lindsay Lohan. But this is, after all, a pop culture blog, and I feel obligated to write something about it. So what follows here is the something that I will write about this. Here is my imitation of me (who knows next to nothing about Lindsay Lohan’s life) trying to explain to an old person (who actually knows nothing about Lindsay Lohan’s life) what is going on right now in Lindsay Lohan’s life. Check it out after the jump.
NOAH: Here are your pills. Also Lindsay Lohan is in Jail! Can you believe it?! OLD PERSON: Thank you so much for all of my pills. Who is Lindsay Lohan? NOAH: You’re welcome for all the pills. Lindsay Lohan is an actress. OLD PERSON: What is she in? NOAH: Well, nothing recently. But she sure used to be in things! OLD PERSON: Then why is she still famous? NOAH: Because she drinks. Or something. OLD PERSON: She drinks? NOAH: Yeah! Cocaine I think. I think she drinks cocaine. And she had an ankle made out of police that said she violated her parole. OLD PERSON: What? NOAH: Dude, I don’t know. Can I have some of your pills? OLD PERSON: Okay, but don’t tell anyone. I don’t want to get in trouble and end up in jail like Lindsay Lomax! NOAH: Lindsay Lohan.

Well, now, some nine months later, probably because it had been far too long since he had snared headlines, the Playgirl playboy is offering an apology to both Bristol and Sarah. “Last year, after Bristol and I broke up, I was unhappy and a little angry. Unfortunately, against my better judgment, I publicly said things about the Palins that were not completely true," he told People Magazine. "I have already privately apologized to Todd and Sarah. Since my statements were public, I owe it to the Palins to publicly apologize…. So to the Palin family in general and to Sarah Palin in particular, please accept my regrets and forgive my youthful indiscretion. I hope one day to restore your trust."

Source: E! Online (US) - Top Stories | 6 Jul 2010 | 5:45 pm AMC Investigates Reviving Law & Order AMC has already showed its propensity for zombies, with its upcoming thriller series, The Walking Dead. And now comes word that the network has shown some interest in another stumbling corpse: Law & Order. Sources tell Vulture that the home to groundbreaking hours Mad Men and Breaking Bad has approached NBC Universal about the possibility of producing new episodes of Dick Wolf’s long-running and recently canceled drama. The high price associated with making Wolf's show means that any AMC deal is a long shot, but the fact that conversations have taken place at all is a sign that, even after two decades, the original L&O still might not be ready for burial. When we last left the saga of L&O in late May, NBC had decided to cancel the so-called mothership of the franchise, citing low ratings and (relatively) high production costs: According to sources familiar with the matter, the show costs around $3 million an episode. NBC was willing to keep it going, but only if Wolf agreed to reduce his per-episode producer fee from $350,000 per episode to around $150,000 per episode. Wolf, who'd already made other financial concessions to NBC, balked, and L&O was declared over. Refusing to concede defeat, Wolf issued a statement declaring that his show was "in a medically induced coma" and that he was "hoping for a cure." That led to buzz that TNT might step in to save the day, as they have first right of refusal to make new episodes for cable; that talk was quashed when the network issued a statement flatly saying it was "not interested in a Season 21." Enter AMC, which in recent weeks quietly approached NBC Universal to inquire about just how much money would be needed to produce original episodes. While $3 million an episode isn’t an outrageous sum for a broadcast show — particularly one as old as L&O — AMC execs would have to swallow hard before agreeing to pay that high a price, says a person familiar with cable industry economic models. Right now, the network reportedly shells out in the neighborhood of $30 million per year (or around $2.5 million per episode) for Men and Bad. And given how much effort and money AMC has invested in establishing its brand as the home to edgy, unique series, it seems hard to imagine the network spending a big chunk of its budget on a show that's so familiar, not to mention so ubiquitous (airing on NBC, TNT, USA, and local TV stations). There hasn't been any movement on the matter since the original discussions, but there are reasons why AMC might want to open up its wallet: While ratings for Bad and Men have been rising, they're still relatively small compared to other cable hits. Last month's Breaking Bad season finale, for example, was watched by just 1.6 million viewers, as compared to the 3 million or so who tuned in for June’s Drop Dead Diva premiere on Lifetime. And last spring, 3.5 million viewers watched first-run episodes of Law & Order: Criminal Intent on USA: Assuming L&O could generate similar numbers on AMC, the established series could prove to be a potent way for AMC to market its homegrown shows to viewers who might not already be hip to the unique charms of Don Draper and Walter White. It could also help AMC in its efforts to get cable operators to pay more per subscriber, as right now, the channel pulls in roughly half as much per potential viewer as do bigger nets like FX and USA. (AMC and NBC execs could not be reached late Tuesday for comment.) Read more posts by Josef Adalian Filed Under: exclusive, amc, law & order, the industry, tv

Hold on. I’m sorry; that was abrupt. Let me start from the beginning. Terry Savage is the name of a columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times… and she can go f**k herself. In a column that ran yesterday, Ms. Savage — who, by the way, can go f**k herself — wrote of how she was recently driving through a neighborhood with her brother and his fiance when they saw three little girls running a lemonade stand. As it turns out, the three little girls were giving away lemonade and small candy bars to passers-by for free. They weren’t charging anything. They were just little girls happy to be out in the sunshine making other people a little bit happier. But let’s read how Terry Savage describes it. We enter Ms. Savage’s story as she responds to her brother’s fiance’s remark that the three little girls have a spirit of giving.
So, yeah. Terry Savage is mad that little girls want to give lemonade to people. But to her credit, she doesn’t then go off on some unbearable rant about how generous little girls are what’s wrong with America. Na, I’m just playin’ with you. She totally does.
Awesome analogy! Now I’m thinking of a certain thing Terry Savage can go and do. Can you guess what it is? I’ll give you a hint. It is a thing that she should do to herself.

Then today, Vermont news outlets were sent similar e-mails claiming Leahy had died of cancer. They looked authentic and official, as if they had actually been sent from Leahy's office. The hoax was also perpetrated against New Jersey's Frank Lautenberg, who just announced last week that he had vanquished lymphoma. The Capitol Police are investigating, but for now, it appears that government computers were not hacked. And Senator Leahy, at least, is taking it in stride; he was joking about the whole thing with Vermont Public Radio today. Patrick Leahy is not intimidated by thugs.

Ferragamo, whose shoes are beloved by wealthy socialites everywhere, is targeting "younger" consumers with a new line named My Ferragamo, slated to hit stores in September. The company is trying to lure a more youthful clientele with bolder colors (fuchsia, red, emerald green, mustard yellow, and "volcano gray," whatever that means), a splashier logo, and "mid-height heels." James Ferragamo explained to WWD: "We're pushing midheels because, while there is an ample offering for flats and high-heel shoes, it’s not that way for medium heights, a segment with huge potential." Indeed, mid-heels remain a relatively uncharted segment of the market, but isn't that because, well, they're kinda for grandmas? Or for people who wear grandma shoes to look retro, in which case they probably buy their mid-heels from vintage stores instead of spanking new, in mustard yellow, from Ferragamo for $275 to $350?

Source: The Cut | 6 Jul 2010 | 3:15 pm Lady Gaga Blamed for Eye-Endangering Contact-Lens Trend Apparently, Lady Gaga's creepy doll-like eyes in the "Bad Romance" video have touched off an international trend of wearing "circle contacts," a type of colored contact lenses that make one's irises appear larger than normal, reports the New York Times. Normally this would be like any other Gaga-esque fad — pantslessness, lobster-claw shoes, etc. — which are of questionable taste but ultimately harmless (the occasional stumble notwithstanding). These contacts, on the other hand, are actually dangerous and illegal, and wearers "risk significant eye injuries — even blindness," according to FDA spokeswoman Karen Riley. Why do these little lenses pose such a hazard? Because it's illegal to sell contacts — corrective or cosmetic — without a prescription, since ill-fitting ones can cut off oxygen to your eyes. But suffocating eyeballs be damned! Gaga fans are pursuing the otherworldly anime look with fervor, ordering the $20-$30 lenses online. The Times quotes several girls who overcame their initial skepticism to become "circle lens addicts"; so far, not one of them has reported any vision problems. As for Gaga herself? Her look was most likely digitally created. [NYT] Read more posts by Charlotte Cowles Filed Under: love is blind, bad romance video, dangerous contact lenses, lady gaga, trends

Source: The Cut | 6 Jul 2010 | 2:15 pm Women of The Daily Show to Jezebel: Go F@#k Yourself! When Irin Carmon at Jezebel wrote a piece a couple of weeks ago alleging that The Daily Show is sexist, mostly based on their hiring of Olivia Munn (who is very — suspiciously — pretty) and the grievances of a few fired former staffers, we kind of thought it was weird, insofar as we thought about it at all, because frankly between our high-powered career and Pilates and worrying about our wombs and cooking and perfecting the 30-minute meal and the blow job, we frankly do not have the time in our day to get worked up about how hard it is to Be A Woman. In fact, that is something we only think about like once a month, when the office bathroom is out of tampons. Leave it to the people who enjoy shrill, circular discussions, we said to ourselves. They'll sort it out. Soon enough, dissent rose from the feminist blogosphere like a chorus of vuvuzelas. Now, the female staff of The Daily Show (and guess what, there are loads of them) have responded. In addition to some funny lines, ("What is Jon Stewart really like? 'Well, for a sexist prick, he can be quite charming.' And: "PPS. Thanks to the male writers who penned this for us.") They sign off with this punch in the boobs:

Source: Daily Intel | 6 Jul 2010 | 2:12 pm President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu Are in Love Now The last time Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the White House, in March, it was shortly after Israel symbolically bitch-slapped Joe Biden, and the Obama administration handled their meeting more coolly than an excessively air-conditioned LIRR train: no photos of the meeting, no readout, no briefing. But the White House felt a backlash for reacting so harshly to Israel, and is still in the process of convincing everyone that it hasn't turned on the longtime American ally. So when Netanyahu stopped by the White House again today, things went drastically, conspicuously different.
Okay, okay, we get it, Obama and Netanyahu are friends again. We're surprised they didn't have Obama stare at the car until it was out of sight, and then force a single tear of sadness down his cheek. Jeez. Michelle doesn't even get it this good.

Source: The Cut | 6 Jul 2010 | 1:45 pm Where Do You Go to Stay Cool When It Is 102°? Topshop: Antarctica. Last August, we experienced a heat wave so unbearable that we asked around for tips on how to beat the heat. (We had already admitted to our own semi-disgusting habits.) Our co-workers obliged, listing off strategies like holding the frozen Lean Cuisine meal you brought for lunch against the back of your neck while you wait for the subway, and falling asleep with ice cubes in your hands. And you readers chimed in, too! One of you even admitted to watching The Net in 1995 in the theater to cool off. Well, today we have a different question, since this week's heat wave will beat last year's and the year before's. If you can't beat the heat, how do you escape it? We asked around. Intel Chris, for example, has noticed that Nowhere Bar on 14th Street is always very well-air conditioned since it is underground. And after waiting outside for a slice of Artichoke Sicilian pizza next door, it is practically the perfect place to retreat and devour a slice. Jessica Pressler, who does not hang out in gay bars (all the time), has noticed that the Best Buy in Soho is "frigid," and may go in there and accidentally buy a new TV later today. And Intel Dan can't think of a place where he goes to be cold, except the subway, which is kind of weird, but then again he's a person who gets on the train in the morning without anything to read, so: grain of salt. Photo gal Roxanne Behr has noted that the well-cooled Old Navy in Soho keeps its doors open all day long. "When heading down Broadway, I make sure to stay on that side of the street so as to savor that one moment of cool air when I walk by," she says. At night, she recommends the downstairs lounge at Kenmare, which "looks like a bar from Star Wars, and even when crowded, it is always nice and cold." Former West Villager Emily Nussbaum and her husband used to hide out in the Stoned Crow because the beer was cold and "also because it's underground and felt very tomblike." Video vixen Beth Stebner, who walks to work ducking in and out of bodegas and boutiques every three minutes, notes that "Topshop keeps their store somewhere between Antarctica and global-warming-apocalypse-circa–The Day After Tomorrow" temperatures. Fact checker Emma Barker, who does her research, has deduced that the 1/2/3 is the "coldest subway line to Brooklyn" and is also not crowded, so she therefore tailors her commute to use it on the way to work. "What I look for is a store with a lot of inexpensive but extremely varied products," recommends senior editor and all-around city guru Chris Bonanos. "That way, you can browse for a long time, but probably won't end up spending too much money. Pearl River Mart is excellent. So are good Italian groceries, like Todaro Brothers on Second Avenue. So is Staples, because you can easily spend a full fifteen minutes just picking out pens, and then move on to the Post-Its." Strategist editor Jon Steinberg finds refuge on the LIRR train out to Long Beach. "Not the actual beach itself, which is still oppressively hot despite the ocean breeze," he notes. "It’s the air-conditioned hour from Atlantic Center that I love." Fashion staffer Eve Bertin-Lang sagely notes that you can go hang out at the ice skating rink at Chelsea Piers for free, so long as you don't try to skate. When figure skaters are rehearsing or a hockey game is on, it's a free show. Readers? Read more posts by Chris Rovzar Filed Under: intel, air conditioning, heat wave, questions, war on heat

Source: Best Week Ever | 6 Jul 2010 | 11:05 am An Open Letter To The Hippie Who Saw A Double RainbowThere are people who’d laugh at you for weeping upon seeing a double rainbow and wanting to know what it means. Pay them no mind. They’d reduce the “meaning” of your rainbow to a double reflection of sunlight inside of raindrops. Sad, right? These people are decaying souls who’ve worked in drab concrete office buildings for so long that they’ve lost one or more of their five senses. But you, my friend, have a sixth sense. I can tell that you have a third eye that reveals glimpses of the metaphysical. Now you just need a spiritual master to teach you how to commune with the other side without becoming overwhelmed. I know unequivocally what the double rainbow means. But I can’t tell you. You have to find out for yourself. I can only set you in the right direction on your journey towards enlightenment. First, you must find a woman who also has a third eye. It might be difficult to know whether she has a third eye, but follow your intuition. (Hint: Women with third eyes often have very long hair parted in the middle and sometimes wear headbands and sandals. Nicole Richie, for example, has a third eye.) Once you’ve found a good woman, pack a bag full of nuts and seeds, oatmeal, honey, fragrant flowers and patchouli.
Hike deep into the woods and find a spot by a stream, river or lake. Take your clothes off. Ask the woman with the third eye to take her clothes off. She can keep on her beads or seashells, but nothing else. If she hesitates, she doesn’t have a third eye. Get rid of her and find another woman. Sit down Indian style, facing one another. Combine all of the ingredients from your bag and rub the mixture on each other’s bodies. Make sure you don’t skip the hard-to-reach areas. If your penis becomes erect during this process, don’t be embarrassed. It’s just nature. And nothing natural will ever freak out a woman with a third eye. Repeat the following phrase to each other at least 50 times: “When you’ve seen beyond yourself, then you may find, peace of mind is waiting there.” Stare deeply into each other’s eyes for at least six hours. You will then know the meaning of the double rainbow.

It’s cool-looking, but they really didn’t need to make a poster that large when they could’ve just painted the word “Inception” on the side of hundreds of already-falling-apart and never-completed luxury condos that New York tried to build a couple years ago before the economy tanked. Actually, there’ve been buildings in New York with a full wall falling off for half a century now — all this time, what I thought was rampant poverty and decay was actually just super in-advance viral marketing for a 2010 action film. This whole New York campaign is gonna make even more sense in 2012 when Nolan releases “Pee Subway: The Movie” and “Dude Shouting Something At My Girlfriend That Kinda Sounds Like Ogling But It’s Too Incoherent To Respond To: The Movie”. Yes, Christopher Nolan is also gonna start adding “colon: the movie” in every movie title. But that’s really a separate point.
