Antoine Dodson, whose name neatly anagrams into “Donated Onions,” “Adenoid No Snot” and “Oaten Dodos Inn,” is nothing short of a national treasure. If there was a way to give him his own display at the Smithsonian for the next 80 or so years, this would become my greatest goal. And now, the man, the meme, speaks again. WAFF caught up with this brand new internet sensation outside of the same building that his sister’s attack occurred in to find out what it feels like to be an internationally recognized face and name. Antoine is calm, cool, coiffed and ready. You watch this video and tell me how many signatures it’s going to take to get Bravo to give this man his own show. I’ll sign up your kids, your wife, your husb, errbody up in here. He is literally based on a novel by Sapphire, he is just so precious. Look at his face in this genius animated GIF and we dare you to not fall in love:

We knew that to do that, he'd have to let go of something else, but what? We figured it out: Vulture has learned that del Toro had been (and is now no longer) developing a new twist on the story of Van Helsing, vampire slayer, with Tom Cruise producing and possibly starring. (That was also a Universal project.) However, even with del Toro gone, we hear that Cruise remains attached to the project. Well, it was fifteen years ago that he played a vamp in Interview with the Vampire, so why shouldn't he see how the other half lives?

Source: Vulture | 30 Jul 2010 | 4:40 pm Kurt Andersen and Lawrence O’Donnell Pitched a Rich-People Comedy to HBO Soon-to-be MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell and former New York columnist Kurt Andersen are awaiting word from HBO on the fate of a comedy pilot they've quietly been collaborating on at the cable network. O'Donnell, in Beverly Hills Friday to tout his newly named nightly series The Last Word, revealed that he and Andersen have penned a half-hour chucklefest which O'Donnell describes as being "about rich people in New York in the age of Madoff." O'Donnell said the show, inspired by real-life people and events, will "kind of be about the employers of the women in Sex and the City. Tonally, it's in the same zone; we just move up the elevator a bit." While he currently pays the rent spouting wise on current events, O'Donnell is no stranger to scripted TV: He was an Emmy-winning writer/ producer on The West Wing. And he's done a little acting, appearing as a lawyer on HBO's Big Love. His new MSNBC series bows September 27 at 10 p.m., and if HBO actually decides to make the show — "It's actually verdict time," he says — O'Donnell doesn't think he'll have a problem balancing roles on air and behind the scenes. If it all works out, perhaps Showtime will decide to cast Keith Olbermann in a remake of Network.

Source: FOXNews.com | 30 Jul 2010 | 4:02 pm Breitbart: ‘As Difficult As It Probably Was for [Shirley Sherrod], It’s Been Difficult for Me As Well’ Andrew Breitbart has finally admitted that he should have waited to get the whole story before posting an edited video of Shirley Sherrod addressing the NAACP, a clip he called "racist" at the time. As has been endlessly rehashed on blogs and cable news, Sherrod lost her job because of this original take on the clip (which was shared by major journalism outlets, and her employer the Department of Agriculture, alike). In the ensuing chaos, Sherrod hurled some insults in Breitbart's direction, and ultimately vowed to sue him. "If I could do it all over again, I should have waited for the full video to get to me," Breitbart told Newsweek in an interview today, adding: "As difficult as it probably was for her, it’s been difficult for me as well, especially to hear her hurl an accusation of racism at me, when my motivation is absolutely pure and is driven by a desire for this country to move beyond its horrid racist past." As far as the lawsuit is concerned, Breitbart says he'd "go anywhere to have a private discussion with her." "Look, there’s a lot of blame to go around on this story, and it’s very convenient to try to place it all on me when the Obama administration and the NAACP were also involved," he argued. "I don’t think anybody looks particularly good in this thing." It's hard not to agree.

Source: Vulture | 30 Jul 2010 | 3:45 pm Maybe All Those Plus-size Models Pose Nude Because They Have Nothing Great to Wear Lizzie Miller in Glamour last year. A number of things feel off about the fashion industry's supposed movement to embrace and glorify women who are bigger than a size 2. Something we've bemoaned repeatedly on this blog is how plus-size models are routinely shot nude, as if for shock value. Perhaps magazines were trying to re-create the sensation Lizzie Miller made when Glamour shot her nude a year ago. Out rolled Glamour's expanded coverage of plus-size naked models, then came V's size issue with shot after shot of plus-size model in states of undress — seemingly more scantily clad than the straight-size models in any typical issue of the magazine. However, The New York Times Magazine offers one possible answer to why these women are always shot naked, aside from shock value and bragging rights: There simply aren't very many great clothes made to fit them. The plus-size clothing business accounts for only 18 percent of total revenue in the women's apparel industry, even though 64 percent of American women are overweight. Designers shy away from making clothes considered plus-size because doing so is just difficult.
However, attitudes toward fat may be shifting. More fashionable non-muumuu clothes for plus-sizes are hitting the market, especially in trend-driven plus-size chains like Torrid, for example. "The number of skinny jeans we sell would astound one," Torrid's president told the Times. Because the thing is, plus-size women don't want to wear muumuus: Statistics show that most plus-size clothes sold in stores like Saks are figure-hugging styles. But one hardly needs to point out that the entire fashion industry isn't embracing the plus-size and everything that goes with it. While Saks also announced this week it would start carrying designer clothes by the likes of Chanel in sizes up to 16 or 18 up from a max size of 10, the store seems to be doing everything it can to avoid elaborating on the decision. We reached out to Saks this week to find out what prompted the move to up their sizes and which labels' offerings would be expanded, and after a couple of days, were told the store isn't "able to answer specifics," and given instead this statement:
Oh really? The market for designer clothes stems past size 10 wearers? It's amazing it took this long and a "review" to figure that out. Plus-Size Wars [NYT] Read more posts by Amy Odell Filed Under: body issues, glamour, lizzie miller, saks, the curvy campaign, v magazine

In the realm of one-hit wonder rock gristle the only competition is “Wild Thing,” but then again, the author of that tune, Chip Taylor, while being Angelina Jolie’s uncle, has never claimed to have a soul from Mars or to have walked with the dinosaurs, as Question Mark, whose pumping Farfisa organ enlivened many a 1966 dorm room, has. Still defiantly crazy after all these years (he claims to have foreseen the WTC disaster and cites the fact that one of the planes flew into the 96th floor as proof), "?" brings the current version of his Mysterians to Lincoln Center’s Damrosch Park Bandshell on Saturday, as part of the Ponderosa Stomp’s Detroit Breakdown. Also performing will be the great Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, among others. Admission is free, which sounds like a really good deal. Mark Jacobson managed to contact the famous Mysterian in mid-orbit and returns with the following Q&A with "Q". Is that the right way to call you Question Mark? Okay. Q, huh?

You like some of those people though, right? You’ve heard of Kim Foley? Yeah, of course. Have you seen that new movie about the Runaways? Is this because of your being born on Mars? Your soul originated from there? “So-called planet”? What do you mean by that? Well they’ve got other gods now, right? You think that we don’t know enough yet, or just aren’t listening to the right people? Well, it’s a red planet. Well how could they get that wrong? Were they color blind? Are you going to be at the concert? Absolutely, man. I wouldn’t miss it for the world. The old Ben E. King song? So you kind of had a feeling about Katrina before it happened? Are you like a medium? Are you dreaming these things in your sleep? Did you predict the World Trade Center? You did? How many dogs do you have now? Which floor? 96th floor? Do you ever get tired of playing “96 Tears”? Of course he wants to be doing that. It’s his most famous song. 215th greatest song of all time? That seems like a rook, man. You should’ve been higher than that. Okay, I’m not gonna argue with you.

Source: Daily Intel | 30 Jul 2010 | 2:15 pm One of the Worst Things About Working at Goldman Sachs Is How Jealous Everyone Is of You I'm sorry that people are so jealous of me ... but I can't help it that I'm so popular. To be sure, there are a lot of good things about working at the Squid, anonymous employees say in a survey by career website Glassdoor.com. For instance, there's its lovable CEO, Lloyd, to whom 97 percent of them give a hearty thumbs up. Plus "opportunities are open if you are a go-getter," and obviously, "if you stick around long enough you can make crazy money." However, there is a downside. The place is "full of sharks," and the hours are crazy. "Goldman Sachs will own you," writes one anonymous commenter who may or may not be a fabulous Frenchman. "Whatever Goldman Sachs asks of you, it will never be too much." Not that you'll have a lot of friends left, anyway: "People envy you for working there and it's pretty bad."

Source: The Cut | 30 Jul 2010 | 2:00 pm Walk-Through: Rue McClanahan’s Sutton Place Place Co-Op Legendary actress Rue McClanahan, whose Blanche Devereaux added delightful sauciness to the hit TV show The Golden Girls, was planning for a Broadway show based on her life and prepping her Sutton Place apartment for sale when she passed away from a stroke in early June. The three-bedroom, two-bath co-op on East 56th Street, decorated with plenty of McClanahan's artwork (including a quilt she'd finished just before her death, and unusual features like a hidden passageway and a sculpture of a naked woman walking through an office door), is on the market. New York stopped in for a tour with Brown Harris Stevens broker and McClanahan friend Steven Marvisch, who's handling the sale. Earlier: Rue Answers Our 21 Questions Read more posts by S.

LVMH's profits increased 52.8 percent for the first half. Second-quarter sales at Hermès and Burberry both increased 27 percent. PPR just announced its numbers for the first half of the year, and like rival LVMH, they're pretty good! Profits spiked 87 percent for the first six months of 2010 thanks to demand for fancy clothes and accessories in Asia. The first-half results were a “blowout,” Simon Irwin, an analyst at Liberum Capital in London, wrote today in a note. Irwin recommends buying the stock.

Source: The Cut | 30 Jul 2010 | 1:20 pm Anthony Weiner and Peter King Do Their Best Kindergartner Impressions By now you've seen Democratic congressman Anthony Weiner's diatribe against Republican congressman Peter King, who, despite sponsoring a bill to pay for health care for 9/11 responders, allegedly didn't do enough to whip up support among his Republican colleagues and provided them cover by blaming the Democrats for using a divisive procedural measure. Today the two New York congressmen met face-to-face on Fox News — well, Weiner did that thing where you argue with someone without ever looking at them — to bicker about who's to blame for the legislation's failure: the Democrats, whose decision to deny the GOP an opportunity to propose amendments also required the bill to get two-thirds support instead of the usual majority, or the Republicans, who basically decided to vote against the bill out of spite. Lordy Lord. As Fox News host Bill Hemmer said at the end, "Gentlemen, this may be why Congress today has an 11 percent approval rating by the American public."

Source: Daily Intel | 30 Jul 2010 | 12:53 pm Anti-Defamation League Might Want to Think About Revising Its Mission Statement The Anti-Defamation League has decided that, despite its stated purpose of fighting for religious equality, it just doesn't think the Muslims should build their mosque and community center two blocks from ground zero. In a tortured statement, the League says that, though "freedom of religion [is] a cornerstone of the American democracy," and though "proponents of the Islamic Center may have every right to build at this site, and may even have chosen the site to send a positive message about Islam," and though "the bigotry some have expressed in attacking them is unfair, and wrong," it does not support the mosque because "building an Islamic Center in the shadow of the World Trade Center will cause some victims more pain." Not that the feelings of 9/11 families are inconsequential, but is this the Anti-Defamation League, or the Anti-Emotional-Distress League? According to its 1913 mission statement: "The immediate object of the League is to stop, by appeals to reason and conscience and, if necessary, by appeals to law, the defamation of the Jewish people. Its ultimate purpose is to secure justice and fair treatment to all citizens alike and to put an end forever to unjust and unfair discrimination against and ridicule of any sect or body of citizens."

…and came across an app called “Useless Facts,” a free app with over 9,000 “fun facts” supposedly designed for frivolous entertainment, which offers this as their one example fact:
Oh. That’s not very fun. It’s actually the opposite of fun. That’s their example to make me want to download the app? Is the app actually full of amusing facts, and they just chose a poor representative example, or even worse, is this example actually the least depressing fact from the app? Are the other 8,999 all various calculations of the 9/11 death toll? USELESS N’ FUN!!!!

The first season of Jersey Shore was, by all accounts, one of the best single seasons in the long and not-so-illustrious history of reality television. Everything about the show — the wildly charismatic cast, the trashtastic locations, the instantly iconic catchphrases — embodied the very concept of catching lightning in a bottle. So when MTV decided to move the cast down to Miami Beach for the show’s second season, the question on everyone’s minds was simple: Would they be able to recreate the magic of that first, gloriously trashy summer in Sleazeside Heights? Well, after watching the first episode of the show on MTV last night, the answer is … maybe? It’s tough to tell, seeing as how most of the episode was filled expositiory slog; we had to wait until the show’s 34th minute to see all of the roommates reunited. Also, we were a bit disappointed that the cast members didn’t get around to discussing their newfound fame and how it’s changed their lives. Remember, as recently as December, nobody in America knew who any of these people were, yet now, even the President is begrudgingly being forced to acknowledge their existence! Fortunately, Snooki, The Situation, Ron Ron and the gang delivered us some lines worth remembering. Won’t you join us as we count down the Top Ten Catchphrases from the second season of Jersey Shore?
9. “I’m putting Vaseline on my face, I’m putting my hair up, I’m taking my earrings out and I’m beating the crap out of [Angelina].” — J-Woww
8. “McCain would never put a 10% tax on tanning, because he’s pale and he would probably want to be tan. Obama doesn’t have that problem, obviously.” — Snooki 7. “His name is Ronnie, but you’ll probably can call him Sloppy Joe.” — The Situation
5. “You’re not supposed to be here, Angelina. You’re a white rat and you’re f*ckin’ pale and nasty … I am tan! I like being tan, bitch!” — Snooki 4. “If you’re gonna hand me a bottle of frickin SoCo, something just comes over me. I go crazy.” — Snooki
1. “I want two [meatballs] … in my face.” — Snooki Until next week, Source: Best Week Ever | 30 Jul 2010 | 10:19 am Katy Perry Music And Phil Collins Music Had A Music Baby TogetherI guess we all at least sort of like Katy Perry, right? We don’t necessarily think she’s a huge talent, but we, in general, find many of her songs to be catchy when we hear them at the grocery store. I’m pretty sure that’s how we all feel about that. Now, when it comes to Phil Collins…. we all love Phil Collins. We jog with our iPods blaring Phil Collins. That’s just what we do. Phil Collins was the first person to be like, “Guys, let’s all just chill. There’s no jacket required.” And then we all were like, “Oh man. This is going to be a whole new era of music where we don’t need formal wear. F*cking sweet, bro!” We all yelled that in unison. Well I’ve got big news for all of us.
