In the days leading up to the Super Bowl, there was a lot of hand-wringing about the fans in Philadelphia, about how they have the worst reputation of any sports city. Then Philly fans tried to defend themselves – sure, we have a few sh-theads among us we’re not that bad and this myth about our behaviour is just that: a myth. I lived in Vancouver for a long time. I consider Vancouver my home. I was at Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals when the Vancouver Canucks lost to the Boston Bruins in 2011 and I remember Jacek dragging me out of the arena, rushing me to the car, over my protests (I want to stay and see the Cup being presented!) because he insisted that if we didn’t get the f-ck out of there, we’d be in serious danger. When we pulled away from our parking spot, I looked in the rearview mirror – our city was on fire. So Philly, I am not here to judge you. A funny thing happens though when chaos erupts after a sporting event: Love. In Vancouver, we saw it here, in this photo. And last night, a man proposed to a woman holding a 40. It’s been 7 years and the Vancouver couple is still together. Will the Philly couple still be together in 7 years? (Dlisted)
As I’ve mentioned so many times, I love gross sh-t. Yesterday I watched an amazing blackhead popping video. Three blackheads were all connected – IN AN EAR! The blackhead tweezing and extracting (my GOD the payoff at the end when the extraction is complete!) comes with a soundtrack. And then I ended up watching Kylie Jenner’s pregnancy/baby video – and the soundtrack, I swear, it’s the same. You’ll just have to do like me and watch the blackheads and the baby video back to back to compare. Also to those of you who keep recommending Dr Pimple Popper, Sandra Lee – I’m actually insulted that you didn’t think I’d already be intimately familiar with all of Dr Pimple Popper’s greatest hits. Pffffft. (Jezebel)
Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez were at the Super Bowl last night. She was not seen feeding him popcorn – at least not on camera. More importantly though… can we talk about his face? ARod’s face is often even smoother than JLO’s face when they show up together on social media. Do you think he’s better at face-tuning than she is? What? You don’t think ARod, with the f-cking self-centaur in his bedroom, knows how to face-tune?! (Just Jared)
What was your favourite commercial last night during the Super Bowl? For me, I think it was a tie between Eli Manning and Odell Beckham Jr doing Dirty Dancing and David Harbour’s Tide ads. Tide released a few of them and while all of them were great, the last one sent me over the edge. It’s when he shows up to play tennis with some senior citizens and at one point, overhead-smashes the ball into one of the old people. F-ck, does that make me a terrible person? (Cele|bitchy)
Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem stepped out together this weekend and she wore a white and silver body-con Versace gown which doesn’t excite me all that much but it is a Versace and Donatella and the family are supposed to be mad at the show. If Penelope is still wearing Versace though, I wonder if that means Donatella isn’t mad at Penelope’s portrayal of her. That… seems about right. Would you be mad if Penelope Cruz was playing you?(Go Fug Yourself)
As you know, they’re making a Lifetime movie about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Want to know who they cast? See here. The casting is not the problem. The problem won’t even be the script. I want the script to be as trashy as possible. That’s the whole point of a Lifetime movie. But, as I’ve mentioned before, the story can be trash…but the visuals shouldn’t be. I’m not talking about the clothing budget either. I mean the dangling microphones that you can see in the corner of your screen. And the obvious continuity issues in between scenes. Wait. No. I think I like the continuity issues. Just the microphones then. This is not asking for much! (Vulture)
