Why James Franco Is So Annoying

Sure, James Franco is hot. Super hot. And hey, when an actor’s been involved with projects like Freaks and Geeks, Spider Man, Milk, Howl, and Pineapple Express (we’ll just pretend like Eat, Pray, Love and Tristan & Isolde never happened), it’s easy to like them. Because those are all cool…

Real Housewives of Miami, Ep. 5: Where Is Elsa?

Last night’s episode of Real Housewives of Miami was like freebasing Ambien and glitter. It was half Sand Man-approved snore-fest and half WTF?. Seriously, we’re hoping that next week’s 90-minute season finale includes wig pulling, table flipping, or Elsa with an electronic cigarette in tow. Hell, we’ll even settle for…

Chatty Kathy

There are a lot of things we’d like to ask Kathy Griffin. What part of your body hasn’t been professionally assessed by a plastic surgeon? What really happened to your first assistant, Jessica? Who’s better in bed: Jack Black, Steve Wozniak, or the Old Spice Guy? But we can’t, because…

Real Housewives of Miami, Episode 4: Let’s Slaughter a Pig!

Last night’s Real Housewives of Miami episode was pumped full of a lot of the same: Larsa complains about nannies, Cristy complains about Lea, both agree Lea’s sense of style is not cute. Lea goes shopping with a friend and reveals the way she tries on clothing — over the…

Everything You Know About Elsa Patton Is Wrong

Today is Everything You Think Is Wrong Day. And everything we’ve learned thus far about Elsa Patton, the real star of the Real Housewives of Miami, is completely false. Yes lies, ALL LIES! But step back from that cliff’s ledge, my friend, in honor of today’s holiday, we’ve decided to…

Feng Shui Your Soul

Ever been to a big music festival and after hours of booze, junk food, and blazing sun, felt like you needed to get your chi in check? In the past, you might have drunkenly laid atop a tie-dyed blanket hoping to savasana your way back to sanity. But at this…

Real Housewives of Miami, Episode 3: Elsa Is a Witch, Duh

Miami is all about having a front. Things are rarely what they seem, especially in The Real Housewives of Miami. So we’re going to translate last night’s episode the best we can. Think of it as Real Housewives of Miami for Dummies, because we feel dumber for watching this show…

Simon Cowell’s X-Factor Holds Miami Auditions

What exactly is an X-Factor? An unknown factor in our algebra II class that was only slightly less infuriating than y? The spot on a map where a pirate’s booty is buried? An element a starlet has to take into consideration before dating John Mayer? Or is it something that…

Ten Things Pets Would Do If They Had Thumbs (PHOTOS)

Why do we love Dogs Playing Poker and Spaghetti Cat? Because we think it’s funny when inferior animals try to mimic our superior human ways. Especially when they’re trying to do things that require a thumb — which only us, the mighty homo sapiens (and okay, maybe another smelly primate…

Wanda Sykes on Louis C.K., Hillbillies, and Hookers

She’s hard to watch, is a doody-head, and you can smell her B.O. through a television screen. Syke! Okay, now that we’ve got all the third graders’ attention, let’s talk some Wanda Sykes. She looks as cuddly as a koala bear but has a dry, sarcastic comedic timing that snaps…

Cookie Monster and Kirk Douglas Will Cohost 84th Academy Awards

Last night’s Oscars was a total snooze-fest. No shockers, all the winners were predictable, and host, Anne Hathaway, stood on stage all night like a jittery but beautiful bobble-head nervously attempting to pick up the charisma-slack for her co-host, James Franco, who was about as exciting as a movie called…

Adam Carolla Explains Why Hawaiians Are Stupid

Adam Carolla, the offspring of a special needs school teacher and “a  welfare-food-stamp-depression-kind-of -70s-sit-around-the-house” mom, is anything but boring. His career accomplishments include his stint as the Pinky to Dr. Drew’s Brain on Loveline, drunkenly watching girls bounce on trampolines with Jimmy Kimmel on The Man Show, and he is…

The Fast and the Injurious

Finally, there’s a place to wear your new Budweiser T-shirt now that the KISS Country Chili Cookoff is over. Come Saturday, the NASCAR-owned Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series, Grand Prix of Miami, will zip into the Homestead-Miami Speedway. Now, if that’s not news that makes you want to jump up,…
