This Halloween, we’re going all out. Our house is covered — ceiling to cellar — in phony cobwebs. We’ve got an unbroken chain of Jack-O-Lanterns lining the perimeter. And, yes, on the porch, completely unguarded, sits a tremendous black witch’s cauldron filled with suckers, bubblegum, chocolate bits, gummi-everything, movie theater…

As we found in our sex survey, a little less than half this city is single. And “master matchmaker” Steve Ward of Tough Love knows why. We all need to be a little sluttier, drop the BS, and lower our standards. On Tough Love last night, Ward introduced the ladies…
Because of the craptastic economy, people will give out shitty candy tonight. Instead of yummy fun-size Snickers, Butterfingers, or M&M’s, folks are giving out shares to fledgling companies on NASDAQ. That’s bullshit — even pennies or hard candies are better bag-fillers. Lucky for you, as it was laid down centuries…

We’re in a bit of dilemma. We’ve already bought a risque pet costume for our dog and convinced our newlywed friends to dress up like Nancy Grace and her nipples, but we’re still trying to figure out what we’re going to wear this Halloween weekend. Maybe we’ll be a slutty…
When someone blurts out, “Fire! Fire!,” it is hard to not think images of Beavis’s bulging-eyeball, tense, clenched-fist fascination of fire. And how can anybody forget Butt-head’s heavily-aspirated laugh? After a nearly 14-year hiatus, Mike Judge’s loveable socially-awkward, porn-loving metal heads Beavis and Butt-head returned to MTV last night. The…

Too morbid to be a crowd-pleaser à la Good Will Hunting but nowhere near as confrontationally inscrutable as Gerry, Gus Van Sant’s latest—a middle-class hetero teen romance, no less—walks the line between mainstream sentimentality and dark art-house humor so effectively that it seems noncommittal. The movie takes place in Portland,…
Ana Gasteyer had roles in Seinfeld and Mean Girls and starred in Broadway shows such as The Rocky Horror Show and Wicked.
