The fabulous Friday trash wrap: Kanye’s fugly sneakers and Martha Stewart chows down

March 13, 2009 – 12:23 pm

I can see child support from my house. The first couple of the trailer park, Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston, have broken up! Oh noes. My faith in true love is shattered, etc. And he seemed like such a catch, too…

All the news too trashy for Monday through Thursday:
Plastic not-so-fantastic. HuffPo has THE creepiest photo gallery of Michael Jackson’s face during his announcement that he will be touring again. My eyes!
Octomum: the movie. Apparently a black-market video of Nadya Suleman’s octo-birth is being shopped around. Honestly, I’d rather watch the porno.

February 27, 2009 – 12:30 pm

All that’s trashy this week:
Famous fatties. Men’s Health, long-time advocates for all men having rock-hard abs and blindingly white teeth, name and shame their eight Least Fit Celebs, by which they mean “fattest celebrities”, as they can’t really know if these guys are objectively more or less fit than their skinnier counterparts.
Octomum’s porno offer. Octomum [...]

February 20, 2009 – 11:34 am

The week’s low-brow highlights:

RIP Loki. Aww, Mickey Rourke’s little canine pal, Loki, has passed away. Hopefully he’s gone to a better place — one where he’s actually allowed to walk around instead of being stuck under Rourke’s sweaty armpit all day.
And the award goes to… Forget the Oscars — MrSkin.com has announced winners of the [...]

The fabulous Friday trash wrap: Ian Thorpe is so straight it hurts

January 30, 2009 – 12:36 pm

Low-brow news for high-brow people:

And send one dollar to Happy Dude… The voice of Bart Simpson, Nancy Cartwright, has recorded a robocall voice message as the character to promote a Scientology event. Not that it’s news that Cartwright is a clam, but Fox are notoriously tight about the use of their intellectual property — in [...]

January 23, 2009 – 12:10 pm

The week in trash:
Celebrities aging disgracefully. Harsh but true: Popcrunch look at 20 celebs who haven’t aged well.
Hot nights in Paris: less common than once thought. Paris Hilton claims she’s only slept with “a couple” of men. Hmmm. That means 50% of the people she’s shagged are Robert “Millsy” Mills. Ew.
The Razzies. Nominations for this [...]
