Reality starlet Audrina Patridge got voted off Dancing with the Stars last night; so what’s a mother to do? How about get drunk on Hollywood Boulevard and give the paps a piece of her mind? That’s exactly what Audy’s mom did, and in this hilarious video, the woman (who looks strikingly like her daughter) unleashes her wrath at American, Lauren Conrad, and pretty much anyone else she’s felt has wronged her daughter. Good times indeed…
Win a Free Pair of Jeans from B-Side Blog!
Everyone likes free stuff, and I’ve got a nifty contest for y’all today. Lee Premium Select jeans is making five pairs available for me to give away on my site. It’s all to promote the partnership of Mike Rowe (Dirty Jobs) and Lee as well as t he launch of their new site, Shopphobia.com where “men can learn to shop without fear.”
The people at Lee were kind enough to send me over a free pair to review, but sadly, they didn’t fit, which I suppose is a rather damning critique of my eating habits of late. Either that or Lee Jeans run small (my Gap jeans in the exact same size fit like a charm). Who knows. At least the jeans look nice.
Anyway, the rules to win your own pair of jeans are very simple: just get five people to follow me on Twitter, and you’ll win a pair of jeans! Make sure your friends Tweet at me with your Twitter name and the hashtag “#bsideblogJeans.”
The first five people to do this win jeans!
Free jeans! Go!!
Times They Are A Changin’
Out here in California, there’s a proposition we’ll be voting for next week that aims to legalize marijuana. Chances are it will fail because, let’s face it, most pot heads are too lazy to vote. Nevertheless, it is kind of interesting to see the tide turn on drug legalization, as exemplified by this pro-weed commercial. To think it was only a few years ago that the government was releasing scare-tactic ads that suggested buying pot was funding terrorism. How far we’ve come…

REAL HOUSEWIVES REUNION PHOTOCAP: Salahism 101
There’s hardly anything to say about the Real Housewives of DC reunion except that it was one of the most incredible displays of denial, delusion, and BS we’ve seen since, well, the last Real Housewives reunion. I still don’t know what to believe regarding the infamous State Dinner — a large part of me thinks the two crashed; another part of me thinks two people can’t just crash the White House. It’s all moot though. What’s incredible about the Salahis is their inability to accept the reality that most people think they’re perpetual liars. Even if they didn’t lie, they can at least acknowledge their reputation. Alas, they don’t. And on top of that, they spew incredible yarns that test the limits of credibility. One word: lentil soup.
After the jump, my photocap of the evening. It’s a little long. I kiiiiind of got into it…

Preview The ‘Community’ Halloween Episode!
I haven’t hid the fact that I’m an ardent Community fan (even though last night’s ep wasn’t the greatest), and as such, I will pimp out the show wherever I can. Take a look at this preview for the upcoming Halloween episode. Not sure when it’s going to play since NBC seems to be airing some God-awful Shrek Halloween special for next week, but hopefully that will die a swift death so we can get back to Greendale Community College.

Breaking, incredibly important news! Despite what was reported yesterday, Beyoncé is NOT pregnant with Jay-Z’s child. She is without child, according to her mother Tina.

Ten Things You Should Stop Doing On Facebook
Every now and then, I like to get on my soap box and complain about Facebook etiquette. It’s been a little while; so I’m back with a new list of pet peeves. Some are retreads of previous complaints. Others are new. There’s certainly a chance I may alienate some of my own Facebook friends by merely posting this, but in my defense, I’ll say that this article is for their own good. Don’t be offended. Use it as a tool to grow. Constructive criticism is all it is!
After the jump, the top ten things you should stop doing on Facebook:

Beyoncé Preggers With Soon To Be Sassy Baby
Reports are circulating that singer / dancer / Hamburger Helper enthusiast Beyoncé is pregnant with her first child by husband Jay-Z. According to Us Weekly, the superstar is in her first trimester, which means the true fun is really yet to come. I can only imagine what a preggers, hormonal Beyoncé is like. Something tells me it will be a fine mix of thrown vases and melisma.

ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: Bread Machine Bonanza
A few months ago, I received a free gift card from CSN Stores, and I asked my Twitter followers if I should use it for an ice cream maker or a bread machine. The debate was fierce, and ultimately I opted for an ice cream maker (actually, I opted for a slow cooker first, and THEN the ice cream maker next month). I was very happy with my choice, but I did always wonder what I may have been missing out with by passing up the bread maker. Well, as it turns out, CSN gave me another gift card to review something from their store, and this time around, I decided I would take the plunge. I used my gift card to nab a Breadman 2 Pound Bread Maker, which was on sale for the bargain basement price of $64.99.
I must admit that I did have concern about that low price — would I be sacrificing quality for money? Did I just order a giant piece of junk? The results after the jump…

THE LOVE TANK IS EMPTY: Vicki Gunvalson Files For Divorce
Yet another Bravo marriage has crumbled before our eyes. This time, it’s OH (original housewife) Vicki Gunvalson from The Real Housewives of Orange County who’s filing for divorce from her affable doormat of a husband, Donn. Details on the split are murky, buuuuuutttt if you really must know, just watch the past five seasons of the show. That should give you some idea…
This is yet another blow to the Orange County cast which has gone from posh excess to a seemingly never ending parade of divorce, downsizing, bankruptcy, imprisonment, and death. Long live the American Dream…
