So Brooke Hogan and her “painted on a van” album are going to release.  I can’t wait to not buy this thing.  This is like if I wanted to release an album and put a picture of myself with just a leaf covering my penis as the cover.  Zero experience in singing and dumb artwork.

A Move Towards Even Worse Driver’s License Photos

Published by under Off the Press

License

DMVs are looking to wipe that smile off your face. Four states have imposed “no smiling” policies for their driver’s licenses pictures. Arkansas, Indiana, Nevada and Virgina are all requiring “neutral facial expressions” making already unflattering photos that much worse.

The new policy is part of a stricter security strategy. These DMVs have implemented high-tech software that compares new license photos to older ones to catch people trying to assume another person’s identity. For some reason, though, smiles throw the system off. Face-recognition software falters when it comes to matching two photos of the same person with different facial expressions. And so dull expressions it is.

This new requirement shouldn’t really come as a surprise. DMVs are already one of the most joyless places.

Come and Get It: Sperm Facials

Published by under Beauty Buzz,Relationships

Facial

It sounds like the punchline to a joke or at least something that belongs on Urban Dictionary, but alas it’s not. Well, it might be, but there are also real sperm facials. Or at least facials that contain spermine, an element in human sperm.

A Norwegian company called Bioforskning developed the treatment to minimize wrinkles and smooth skin. I have so many questions about this project that I’m not sure I want answered. How did they discover spermine’s facial powers? Do people actually order this? And how is the product created?

Most importantly, though, is the price tag. This sticky spa treatment will run you $250… per session! I hate to say it, but there’s probably a cheaper means to the same ends.

The Rise of Jeggings and Other Terrible Uses of Denim

Published by under Beauty Buzz,Entertainment

Whitney Port

A week ago, we commented on Whitney Port’s interesting choice of pants at the Dodger game. They seemed to be a combination denim and leggings… dennings if you will. However, today we stand corrected. Dennings they aren’t. The politically correct term would be jeggings. You see, this pseudo-style is unfortunately not limited to Ms. Port and is actually part of a much larger trend. In fact, Topshop sells these creations.

Admittedly, I’m a jeans girl. While I enjoy dressing up occasionally, the main staple of my wardrobe is jeans. However, there are lines that should not be crossed and certain places denim should not go. Case in point: leggings. But this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Check out these denim disasters: Continue Reading »

I tell ya it makes you jealous in one sense (very small sense) and completely disgusted in the other.  Nothing gives me the willies more than seeing this kind of crap in a public setting.

Kissing should be sexy and romantic, but sometimes it goes all wrong. Check out the awful make out moments Lemondrop found in the gallery ahead.

Shotgun Brides To Celebrate With Actual Shotguns

Published by under Relationships

Shotgun Bachelorette Party

We can’t thank The Frisky enough for bringing this amazing ad to our attention. It totally makes sense though… if you’re pregnant why would you want to have a bachelorette party at a bar when you can’t drink. The next logical option is clearly a shooting range.

As the ad proclaims, “Your bachelor/ette party is sure to go off with a bang at Kentucky’s coolest indoor gun range & paintball arena.” Unfortunately, I think banging is what got you into this predicament in the first place.

Suffering For Your Skinny Jeans

Published by under Beauty Buzz

Skinny Jeans

Tight skinny jeans can be a fashion statement. Too tight skinny jeans can be a painful situation. Skin-tight denim may result in a temporary case of meralgia paresthetica, a nerve condition also known as “tingly thigh syndrome.” Normally, it’s construction workers or police officers with their heavy belts, pregnant women or obese people who suffer from this maladay, but as skinny jeans have become more popular so has the condition.

What happens is that the pressure from the pants cuts off your lateral femoral cutaneous nerve leading to a burning sensation, numbness or tingling along the thigh. That’s probably not the feeling you’re going for when you head out for a night on the town. High heels only exacerbate the problem.

Fortunately, the pain’s only temporary. So, if a little tingling here and there doesn’t bother you, squeeze into those skinny jeans. Sweatpants, though, are sounding more and more tempting…

Mr. T Sings ‘Take Me Out to the Ball Game’ And You’re Going To Like It

Published by under Entertainment

Mr. T may have pitied the Pirates, but we pity everyone who listened to this rendition of the ballpark favorite at the Cubs game last weekend. He meant well, though, and he did okay considering Mr. T’s job usually just entails looking tough and wearing flashy jewelry.

If it makes him feel any better, Denise Richards struggled with the song too.

No, that probably doesn’t make anyone feel better.
