ESPN Really Needs to Work on Their Skills with the Ladies.

If this were a college party, ESPN would be alone in the corner talking about fantasy football. The dorks on "The Big Bang Theory" know how to talk to a lady compared to these guys. Every few years a huge gaffe or sex scandal- they just can't get it right when it comes to women.


That aside, ouch. That hurts ESPN. What have women commentators ever done to you, besides trying to succeed? Oh wait. That's it.


Either way, big mess up for the network.


So basically, until Tuesday ESPN had a place on their website where views could go to complain about their female commentators.


Megan Soisson, a University of Pennsylvania student, and Sports Editor for their paper The Daily Pennsylvanian discovered the option when she was looking into why a major basketball game against Harvard would not be shown. She was directed to this content page.


“I was really shocked about it and upset because I’m a female sportswriter, so it’s like one of my dreams to be a sideline reporter — and to see there was a specific area to comment against female reporters was upsetting,” Soisson told Mashable in an interview.

Friends Again.

Aww Chelsea, you shouldn't have!

I used to love Chelsea, back when she had a show literally called "The Chelsea Handler Show" that quickly got cancelled- I think it was skits, or something? Then she got "Chelsea Lately" and I loved it. Total girl crush.

Then as usually happens with girl crushes, we had a falling out. I started finding her annoying, all the usual girl stuff.

NOW I LOVE HER. All over again. We're totally second honeymooning. I love her "After Lately" show, I love the way she makes fun of celebrities (Hilary Duff, poor thing, the hardest. Which just makes Hilly try harder) and they love her for it. I mean, I go to an all girls school, that shit is my bread and butter. She's my Obi Wan.

Anyways, she's on the cover of Redbook, heavily photoshopped, but love her quotes from the mag:

On sharing the spotlight: “I read this cheesy quote once: ‘Blowing out someone else’s candle doesn’t make your glow brighter.’ We women have to stick together. People ask me why I’m so hard on men. It’s because they’ve gotten a really easy ride. And it’s not that I think women should take over the world. But I do think it should be 50/50. I’m very much about letting other people shine, because it makes us all shine brighter. I like having a fraternity. I like girls and boys together, misfits and underdogs – I love underdogs.” 
On her BFFs: “I mean, Jennifer Aniston one of the most down to earth, low-key people I know. She’s just a regular girl. And Reese is the same way. I mean, you can’t have friendships that aren’t based on realness. I’m not going to treat them any differently than I would any other of my friends. I mean, Jen and Justin came to my house for Thanksgiving with 18 of my staff members. And so what?
Also, I'm just going to say it. That "Are You There, Chelsea?" show is NOT BAD. I was shocked too. I actually legit watch it. It's cheesy and obvious, but I like it. Plus that hot guy from Greek who played Evan is on it. Jack McDormand or something? Check it out.

Where is Miley Going?

Lets play a fun game.

It's called, where is Miley Cyrus going?

Lets observe the outfit. She's wearing stockings with you know, the holder things, that- and pardon the faux pas if I am wrong on this- you are not supposed to see. Nonetheless, there they are.

Don't hate me, I actually enjoy her boots. I've very proudly identified them as the Frye Harness boot which I have been lusting after for months (years?) so basically, I can't hate them, no matter whose skanky feet are in them.

And I don't hate this outfit so much, compared to what she usually has on. I mean, hey, if you want to look like you're avoiding the draft, this is IT.

So lets guess- she is going to: A concert. Coffee run. Underground cool people meeting. In a true Breaking Bad move, there's actually illegal drugs in that cup.

Nope. She was...

Dear Men, You Seriously Want This?

At approximately 11:30 this morning a group of my friends were split over the apparent love that men have for Zooey Deschanel. All of the fuss was created over this photo.


In case you're confused as to why this would be unsettling for people, take a good hard look at her bag. Because guess what folks, it's a leather bag... in the shape of a bunny. A BUNNY!

Do I even need to explain to you why this is upsetting?

The point that was generally being argued was that even after Zooey D has exhibited time after time that she enjoys acting and dressing like a 12 year old girl, men are still enamored with her. This is throughly confusing to me and to those women who were present this morning

Instead of acting like a grown women who plays a manic-pixie-dream-girl on a television show, she has become the epitome of hipster in her everyday life.

I can say, she is indeed gorgeous...


But why does she have to act like a small child to create a career? Or to attract men? Neither of these things is acceptable to me. I need more, and I think it's fair of all of us to expect more from a 32 year old woman than a leather bunny bag!

Old Woman Gone Wild, the Music Video.



I just wanted to add to Theo's post below by regaling you all with the music video for the song. I thought the show was age appropriate in comparison to this.

Wow, I'd been avoid this video instinctually, now I can say that my gut was right. Can someone explain the 1:45 mark to me? What is she doing with that poor baby?

The Client List, The Musical.


For those of you not lucky enough to have seen "The Client List" on Lifetime, you have the chance to experience it in a weekly dose of ridiculous. For your viewing pleasure, may I present The Client List...the TV show. We (the fans, of which I am one) have been waiting for this for forever, and to tide us over we have this commercial for the TV show.

Raunchy. For sure, I mean, prostitution is so much fun!

The Bachelor, Episode Two.

"That's just the way I was raised...in the south."

Really Kacie B? You're from the south? We had NO IDEA. I guess the cowgirl boots, incessant twang and baton twirling should have been a cue- oh WAIT IT WAS. It's incredibly obvious.

WTF. This is...creepy. If some guy took me into a deserted theater and started showing me my own home videos on a first date I would run the eff out of there. Did no one see Twilight? That's how a serial killer starts to torture you.

Also not to be insensitive, but I'm just going to go ahead and do it- we get it, Ben's dad is dead. You don't need to force feed home videos and close in on that manly tear shimmering in his eye, but never actually falling down his cheek into full on crying.
