Pharrell Can Has Cheezburger? Mais non!
I love N*E*R*D*. I love Paris. And I love that McDonald’s song from the ’80s. Mix them all together, and you get a truly bizarre video of Pharrell attempting to dance his way into the hearts of some Mickey D’s workers in a French airport. Funny, sad, amusing, strange  it’s all there.
The Inevitable Nene / Denene Collaboration Looms
“I’m writing a book! It’ll be like BAM! Nene Carol Oates.” Big news in the publishing industry! Nene Leakes of The Real Housewives of Atlanta will be penning a book titled Never Make the Same Mistake Twice: Straight Talk on Love and Life From a Real Housewife. Details of the tome are murky, but I …

HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: The Socializer Emerges!
Kelly: “You know what would be great? A fashion show with all arthritic models. It would be so cute.” It took a few weeks, but we finally got a taste of Kelly Killoren Bensimon’s personality on The Real Housewives of New York City, and overall, it was kind of awful. She’s not particularly mean (so …

Welcome Back, Nate
“Huh?” A funny thing happened on the way to the Upper East Side last night: the writers of Gossip Girl decided to do something with Nate for once. That’s right, the woeful Vanderbilt heir finally got to do something more than just make out with awful Vanessa or moan about tomatoes. He had a whole …
Offensive or Hilarious? The Asian Take On Beyoncé
An a cappella group at Yale put out this video parodying Beyoncé’s seminal/awful hit “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It),” and while it may cause some people to go into political correctness overdrive, I personally found it funny. Satirization of race? Or affirmation of harmful stereotypes? You decide. • Yale Group Releases Racy (or …

SHILLING: Rage + Cooking = Fun Times!
My friend Heather started up a new blog recently called Eat Your Feelings, and quite honestly, it’s sort of tailor-made for this audience. Basically, it’s a cooking blog, but these aren’t just your typical recipes. They have some backstory to them, such as the “Chicken with Mushrooms for When the Bitch Deserved It,” which features …
Kim Zolciak Bails On Her Own Charity. Possible Fake Cancer Scare The Fake Culprit?
Here’s a nice little nugget about our favorite cancer almost-haver survivor. I’m talking about Kim Zolciak, the woman who puts the K in Kat, the rock in guacamole, the tight in tightrope. If that made little sense, fear not  it was jibber-jabber, which is what happens to the brain when talking about Kimmy Z. …
Horseradish Redux
The general consensus is that my first horseradish video didn’t quite live up to the hype. I kind of agree; so I went ahead and shot another video of me eating the dastardly root. Again, I’m not sure if it’s the most violent reaction out there, but I did manage to look like I was …
FRIEND BRAGGING: My Friend Is On The Cover Of Serbian Maxim!
I’m always super excited when my friends do something cool, and as such, I like to brag about it and fulfill my favorite social psych theory: basking in reflected glory (which, as defined by Wikipedia, is “a self-serving cognition whereby an individual associates himself with successful other such that another’s success becomes their own”). Anyway, …
