By David Bitonti Macho Man is dead. Who’s next? Hulk Hogan? The Ultimate Warrior? Jake The Snake Roberts? In fact, how the hell did Jake with all his drugging and boozing outlive Randy Savage anyway? As more of these forgotten heroes enter their 50s and even 60s (yikes!), I guess they’re going to start dropping […]

Lay off the Sheen
by Rachel Krueger This is me trying not to write about Charlie Sheen and failing. Not writing about Charlie Sheen is more difficult than deciding whether to laugh at or pity him, which is weirdly hard. Because on the one hand, the man is a barrel of allegedly sober monkeys. He’s funnier now than he […]
Welcome to Canada, Randy Quaid
By Frank Moher Dear Randy Quaid: I hear Canadian authorities have decided to let you stay in Canada, and, indeed, that Canadian citizenship is now in the works for you. That’s because your wife’s dad was Canadian, so she was able to get her citizenship earlier this month, which means you can now get yours […]
Bieberbortion
By Rachel Krueger Bye Bieber Bunting rocks the cover of Rolling Stone next month, looking as bad-ass as his infant-face is capable of. The Stone is teasing out its Biebernterview by releasing all the salacious bits, and the PITCHFORKS ARE A-GATHERIN. Particularly around the Bieb’s stance on abortion which, though RStone calls it a “solid […]
Gervais’ Gay Joke Goes Awry
By Rachel Krueger I don’t think Ricky Gervais is a homophobe. But in his Golden Globes opening monologue he delivered a right zinger that was entirely predicated on “gay” being an insult. Referring to Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor in I Love You, Phillip Morris, he quipped, ‘Two heterosexual actors pretending to be gay. So […]
The Internet is a Fairy Godmother in Disguise
by Rachel Krueger The internet is not all boobs and trolls. I mean, it’s mostly boobs and trolls. If you were to answer either “boobs” or “trolls” for every question in an Identify This Internet Thing Pop Quiz, you’d get a passing grade, which is better than usual for you. But the occasional trickle of […]
Justin Bieber does his bit for the Canadian economy
By Frank Moher My New Year’s resolution for 2011 is to like Justin Bieber. I’m quite serious. My first reaction to the news that The Bieber caused a near-riot when he appeared at a Kitchener, Ont. mall on Boxing Day, there to buy some shades (because, after all, his future really is so bright he’s […]
Jack up the crazy: Courtney’s reality show
by Rachel Krueger This is what we’re doing now, Universe? It’s not enough that Snooki has a book deal and that the Bieber-fetus has a biopic. We’re giving Courtney Love a reality show now? Because this show isn’t going to be whatever Courtney thinks this show is going to be (“America’s Next Top Model” meets […]
Did Katy Perry make a boob of Sesame Street?
By Rachel Krueger Katy Perry’s boobs have been deemed unfit for audiences aged 1-6. Shocked, are we? The singer’s duet with Elmo, already disseminated via the Youtubes, won’t be appearing on Sesame Street after all. Perry sings a reworking of her song “Hot N Cold” where lines such as “like a bitch, I should know” […]
Lea Michele: Less of her to love
By Rachel Krueger One of the things “Glee” has going for it is its wacky normalcy. With the possible exception of Finn and Mr Schuester, none of the characters is Hollywoodily attractive. They look like they legitimately go to high school. And I hesitate to say that Lea Michele is “normal-looking” because that has become […]
