Crushable Commenter of the Week: DIZZY’s in the Doghouse

Okay, we get it. That fish doesn’t really look like Shrek! It’s still a cool fish though, right? I mean, and isn’t reality all subjective anyway? Like how can I know that you’re “blue” is the same color blue that I see, or that a fish that looks like Shrek to you can look like somebody else’s extended family? … More »

New Spice Girls Musical Only Sorta About the Spice Girls

Did 9/02/10 day start a 90s-nostalgia trend? Word’s out about a brand new Spice Girls musical, set to debut in 2012. Except it turns out Viva Forever (um, long live forever?) won’t actually feature any of the singers or even mention their names. Instead, the play will be about… drumroll please… reality TV! … More »

Video: Epic U.S. Open Fight

A spectator brawl broke out during last night’s U.S. Open match, leaving three people in handcuffs. The fight was so intense that player Novak Djokovic (the eventual winner of the set) abandoned his racket to watch the madness unfold. The video, shot by another spectator, doesn’t pick up any of the brawlers’ audio, but we did a little detective work. The Gloss editor Lilit Marcus‘ mom, who’s hard of hearing and an excellent lipreader, translated some of the dialogue for us — and it seems to be a battle over seating. Here’s what she made out: … More »

MacroMeme of the Week: Freshman Ferret

The greatest memes are all time are perfect in their simplicity: That’s why the “macro-images” or “big pictures with giant text” are so popular with the kids these days. From Bachelor Frog to Socially Awkward Penguin, animals surrounded by bright, concentric colors and weird messages have filled some need in web culture to have the most trivialities of life explode in weird macros. And while we generally have more important things to do with our day than look at memegenerator.net, the latest viral sensation “Freshman Ferret” may as well have sprung from our own minds. … More »

Jersey Shore Cliff Notes 2.6: Ignoring the Tranny in the Room

The Daily WTF: Snooki Reveals a Fact

Time Warner’s description of last night’s Jersey Shore was pretty ridiculous. Has the show really gotten so uninteresting that “revealing a fact” counts as high drama? (I don’t know: “Not So Shore” is still on my DVR, waiting for me to find some free time and a beer.) Plus, the goofballs over at TW spelled Snooki’s name wrong. Who’s writing this stuff - ferrets in jester hats? … More »

Video: Jay Pharoah Added to SNL Lineup For More Racially Diverse Cast

Earlier this week we were introduced to 3 new cast members that will be joining Saturday Night Live in the midst of Will Forte (and perhaps others?) departure from the NBC staple. Now there is video of a 4th ringer, the young Jay Pharoah, whose claim to fame so far is doing a pretty good Will Smith and Denzel Washington impression.

So while Keenan Thompson’s status is up in the air, we hope Jay’s arrival doesn’t mean that Lorne Michaels is axing the only other African-American cast-member … More »
