Retro Ad Watch


What a colorful bunch!

Bridge Over Troubled Water


  New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie not only threw his childhood friend David Wildstein turned high-ranking Port Authority appointee under the bus, Chrsitie acted like he barely knew the guy when he declared that in high school he (the gov) was a "jock and class president" while Wildstein ran with an inferior crowd. (Ouch.) Wildstein is now talking, telling everyone that he has proof that Christie knew about the George Washington Bridge lane closings in a move straight out of "Revenge of the Nerds." Read HERE.

Jonny on the Spot


  That Jonny McGovern is always up to SOMETHING.


Hottest Guinea Pigs Ever


The Daily Mail says "One twin gave up sugar, the other gave up fat. Their experiment could change YOUR life." But the photo alone has already changed mine -- and they're doctors! Read HERE.

Miami Meat


Armed robber penis-slaps woman in the face after she refused to hand over cash

I'm guessing you know you don't have to click the LINK to know this happened in Florida, right? Time to play catch up, Arizona.

Song of the Day: 'I Miss Your Bones' by Hospitality


   Cute song from the New York trio's new album, "Trouble."

Crimes and Misdemeanors?


The last -- and best -- article you'll ever need about the "Woody Allen molested his adopted daughter" allegations. Read HERE.

UPDATE: Or not. Dylan speaks out (again) HERE.

The Hardest Part



The actor was fully prepared for full-frontal nudity in the play and Actors' Equity says it follows union rules.

His union said the boner was kosher, but that you can't have sex or ejaculate on stage. I wonder what my union's position is on this in the newsroom? Read HERE.

Should there be a "Seinfeld" reunion?

Suits Me to a T

 
If you know anything about me then you know tennis and men in suits are two of my favorite, um, hobbies. God bless The Slice for putting together a complete photo roundup of the Davis Cup teams suited up for their official pre-tie dinners HERE. (Lame USA couldn't even be bothered dressing up for theirs.)


French kiss


Spain: Their coach is as hot as their players!


Oh, Canada!

Two Things: Bruce Jenner and Renee Richards


I'm not saying Bruce Jenner is transgender, but he was looking awfully Renee coming out of a clinic with a bandaged throat after undergoing surgery to decrease his Adam's Apple. Ms. Richards wrote in her memoir "Second Serve" that she nearly died on the operating table during the same procedure.

UPDATE: Boy Culture is convinced the former hunk decathlon is trans. Read HERE.


It wouldn't be the first time a hyper masculine heterosexual man was struggling with gender identity, but it would certainly be the most high-profile case.

Help Me Rondo


"The thirst crusher"

A coworker brought in a bag of Rolos, which prompted my born-in-1980 cowrorker who somehow has the same pop culture sensibilities as ME to scream: "Rolos? No one eats Rolos anymore!" She's got that right, then I added: "I haven't had those since the summer of '79, when my family moved to Phoenix and we did nothing but eat Rolos and drink Rondo." That's when my kindred spirit -- and the rest of the room -- got lost. Another (Jersey native) colleague volunteered that maybe she had never heard of it because perhaps it's a "Southern thing" -- which immediately put a bee in my bonnet. Southern???? Arizona is Southern? Um, no. Although I suppose my case would be a lot stronger if I hadn't just said "bee in my bonnet." 

Anyone remember Rondo?!!!!!


Thursday Ad Watch


Something tells me this guy would look just fine even with a beer belly.

Blues Clues


Details explains how to pull off the denim on denim look HERE, although time-traveling back to 1986 seems much easier to me.


Good Morning, Tim


Faied NFL quarterback and and virgin Tim Tebow will bring his knowledge of his former team when he guest hosts "Good Morning America," two days before the Denver Broncos play in the championship game. Time to put your gaydar to the test, Robin! Read HERE.

Song of the Day: 'Into the Blue' by Kylie Minogue


What do you think of the new Kylie single? Everyone's raving, but I'm not that taken (yet?).

Really Happy Meals


The Associated Press is reporting that an employee of a McDonald's in Pittsburgh was charged Wednesday with selling heroin in Happy Meals. The code request was "I'd like to order a toy," but clearly should have been "I'd like the limited edition Lou Reed kids' meal."

Olivia Newton-John's Las Vegas Residency Confirmed


Move over, Britney -- there's a talented blonde coming to town. The Las Vegas Sun has confirmed that Olivia Newton-John will be opening her show this spring at the Flamingo on dates when resident headliners Donny & Marie Osmond are away. (Olivia delayed her desert plans when her sister, Rona, was diagnosed with brain cancer last year.) I'm excited -- finally have a reason to return to Vegas!!!!

Kellan Lutz Covers Men's Health


I think of Kellan Lutz as the Zsa Zsa Gabor of the 21st century. I never see him in anything, but he's always nice to have around. 


Seen HERE.
