Traveling about the States, Kim Kardashian was spotter arriving in Miami, Florida on Saturday (November 8) following a night out in Boston.
The “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” starlet is in the sunshine state for Make-A-Wish Foundation’s 14th Annual InterContinental Miami Make-A-Wish Ball.
Seth Rogen had some harsh things to say about his possible participation in Ghostbusters III this week, which reminds me that he's been in like six movies and he's in no position to diss a franchise that's worth more than his life. If he keeps making the "stoner" version of X, whether X is a period romance or Bill Maher-esque documentary, I'm going to take over his representation. Rogen's career choices need to start improving, because speaking as a schlubby Jew, I do not intend for my concurrent increase in appeal to women to decline any further than it already has in the wake of this economic crisis. By the power invested in me by the Torah, we have sketched out the rest of Seth Rogen's career.
Seth Rogen is unsure if he's willing to be in a Judd Apatow-produced Ghostbusters 3:
"It’s hard to imagine that would be good, isn’t it? I mean just as a movie fan I am the first guy to be skeptical of that. It sounds like a terrible idea when you first hear it. At first hearing it sounds like the worst idea ever. I mean, that would have to be one motherfucking good script....There is a point where it's so bad it’s really easy to say no."
The Ghostbusters III script will come from The Office scribes Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, so it will have a nice pedigree, if nothing else.
How dare you, Rogen. How dare you. What's he going to do next, diss the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man?
Just 24, the erstwhile chubster is eventually going to be cast in every anachronistic, ill-fitting role that pays so he can fulfill his alimony obligations for his fictitious and real baby-mommas. We can reasonably plot out middle portion of young Rogen's career from here:
2009: Seth teams up with Diablo Cody for a sequel to Juno where he plays the grown baby that Juno abandoned
2010: Seth and David Wain make a stoner Junior, it falls apart when both want to have the kid.
2011: After the guy playing Hagrid is killing by global warming he nabs the role of Harry Potter's half-giant father figure in the last installment.
2013: Seth gains fifty pounds for a Marlon Brando biopic in which James Franco plays the early Brando and he plays the Blob version.
2015: Seth writes a satirical passion play and is protested on the level of Dangerous Cousins
2017: Seth appears in a mediocre Woody Allen film about a struggling comedy team called Haurel and Lardy. Critics marvel that Allen is still directing movies at his advanced age, and unprofitable ones at that.
2018: Seth is the Albert Brooks role in a Coen brothers rework of Defending Your Life — hint hint Joel and Ethan.
2025: At the age of 43 Rogen finally sees his performance in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, replacing Samm Levine in the film after Quentin realized he had the wrong guy. The movie is twenty-four years behind schedule.
I would say that this Sarah Palin business just isn't funny anymore, but then I couldn't illustrate the following news with a Flintstones picture. "Soon after Sarah Palin was elected mayor of the foothill town of Wasilla, Alaska, she startled a local music teacher by insisting in casual conversation that men and dinosaurs coexisted on an Earth created 6,000 years ago—about 65 million years after scientists say most dinosaurs became extinct—the teacher said."
Palin told him that "dinosaurs and humans walked the Earth at the same time," Munger said. When he asked her about prehistoric fossils and tracks dating back millions of years, Palin said "she had seen pictures of human footprints inside the tracks," recalled Munger, who teaches music at the University of Alaska in Anchorage and has regularly criticized Palin in recent years on his liberal political blog, called Progressive Alaska.
The idea of a "young Earth"—that God created the Earth about 6,000 years ago, and dinosaurs and humans coexisted early on—is a popular strain of creationism.
Though in her race for governor she called for faith-based "intelligent design" to be taught along with evolution in Alaska's schools, Gov. Palin has not sought to require it, state educators say.
Last night's finale of Make Me a Supermodel brought tears, joy, sadness, and an odd sense of... justice? Yes indeedy. For the duration of the Bravo competition series, the boys have dominated, not because they were better models per se, but because the show's viewer and voting base is (I'm assuming) largely made up of women and gays. It seemed like a foregone conclusion that a dude would win, most likely spunky gay Chicagoan Ronnie. Sexy but bratty prison guard Ben was also a possibility, but it definitely would not be that thing with a bagina, Holly. But! Before we get to the ending, let's go to the middle.
After a rough day of go-sees, the four remaining contestants, on their final night in their New York mansion, lounged around and reminisced. And then suddenly, surprise visitors! Ronnie's cute little mom! Holly's strangely-chiseled fiancé Ray! Even Perry's Adnan Ghalib-dating lady friend Amanda showed up (for some super staged emotional wreckage). Oh, and Ben's wife April. To whom he said, after being apart for three months, "What's uppp?" There was a haunted, ponderous, Raymond Carver-y look in his eyes as he hugged his young wife. He also couldn't stop saying how "awkward" it was to see her. Later on April said she'd like to move to New York and be part of the whole adventure, which seemed to pain Ben even more. It was like when you go to summer camp and come back and all of your old friends seem kind of blah and dumpy. Sad.
So, onto the end. There was, of course a final catwalk. The boys wore sparkly Dolce & Gabbana suits, while Holly was saddled with a huge dress and crazy frizzy hair extensions. Perry was first to go (good riddance, teeny-tiny head), then stoic Ben. With only Ronnie and Holly left, we were again faced with the inevitability of Ronnie's win. But what was that that host Niki Taylor just bellowed? Our dear hillbilly lady friend has somehow clinched it? Yay! Though she probably needed the win the least! That'll teach those smug, entitled boys. I guess I totally underestimated her fan base. Though, the person with the most votes probably got, what, like twelve? In the long run, I think all four of them will be just fine. They've had great model exposure, with none of the attendant Tyra-stink that comes with being on Top Model. They're going to have great, successful careers. Until, you know, they age and their looks fade and they realize that they have very few life skills. Good luck!
On the Make Me a Supermodel reunion last night, beloved non-couple Ronnie and Ben (apparently they're called "Bronnie?" I refuse to accept this) were interrogated about their "will they or won't they, oh they're totally not going to" relationship, to the squiggly embarrassment of the show's two viewers (me and roommate Rose). Yes, gay Ronnie did have a crush on straight prison guard (and increasingly petulant asshole) Ben, but it faded away very quickly. He falls in love all the time! With boys on the street, with ski bunnies, with anyone! According to reunion host (and gay Bravo TV exec) Andy Cohen, this wandering eye, puppy love stuff makes giddy little Ronnie "a good gay." Ugh. Maybe true! But, ugh. A video excerpt of the awkward, squirmy reunion after the jump (watch the first minute and a half or so for the Bronnie stuff). Oh! Also a fun bonus video.
You gotta love TV reunion specials. This is, sadly, not quite as trash-tastic as Flavor of Love (and/or its various spin-offs) and the smack-talking leaves something to be desired. The high point is someone accusing another supermodel wannabe of being "manipulative" and evoking a "oh no he didn't!" reaction from the rest of the crew. Can someone please page Pumpkin, New York and Mr. Wise? It's way too genteel up in this bitch.
Except for the exclamation of "WHORE!" evoked from one of the male contestants, who finds out from his girlfriend on the phone that a story about her cheating on him was "a huge story" that was "blown up in the media," it's all pretty tame.
Much like the contestants themselves, this preview is quite low in fat, so although it might not be all that filling, at least it won't make you fat.
"Why is my teenage daughter dressing like Yasser Arafat?" asks Jonathan Goldberg, London NW3 to Hadley Freeman, Guardian fashion lady. Uh, Jonathan, they're cool! DOY! Geez, people are soooo slow here! Also, khaki green is slimming. And finally, as per Hadley, "[D]esigners love other nationalities!"
I have 1,000 business cards left but only 20 days of working at Gawker remain. That means I'd have to give away 50 a day. If you'd like a business card, send your name, address, and fifty cents (I take Paypal!) to josh@gawker.com.
"The first of 20 planned automatic public toilets across the five boroughs is expected to open this week in Madison Square Park, after construction and testing is completed," according to The New York Sun. The toilets will cost a quarter to use and the doors will automatically open after 15 minutes. Well, why not? We can't have the poor and possibly constipated using our fancy loos. They're reserved for blowing bumps and strangers— both of which can be easily done in under 15 minutes! [NYSun]
