This week in pop culture and law is dedicated to Lindsay Lohan and her quest to sue E-Trade for airing this commercial:Lindsay claims the commercial infringes on her right of publicity (a celebrity's right to prevent others from profiting from her name, likeness, voice, or image without paying for it). Why? Because the ad refers to a "milk-a-holic Lindsay" and whenever we hear the name "Lindsay," we automatically think of Lindsay Lohan. Puhlease, it's not like that baby has red hair, a DJ girlfriend, a self-tanning product, leggings, a history or car wrecks, or a DUI. That, ...

I'm not saying the boy's slow, but just wait for his 2012 comments on Tiger Woods! (via Twitter and Jezebel) ...

Believe it. Take that, Twitter. (via Laughing Squid) ...

I'm pretty sure this is John. And John is either the cute one or the not-cute one, I can't remember. But he's giving us Nick Carter, and YOU KNOW how I feel about Nick Carter (all the Carter boys, in fact. And the Backstreet Boys, too. And boybanders, in general) so I'm going to say this is the CUTE Jedward kid. I love this and I love them, so this is my Happiest Pic of the Day. (Didn't even though that was a thing, did you?) Interesting side note: The bed in the background? That's the bed THEY SHARE. Yes, ...

While usually they say that you should save the best for last, sometimes it turns out to be the exact opposite...Tonight was one of those nights.Not only was Drags Aloud At The Movies my last scheduled Fringe show, but it was also the last show of the night in that particular theatre... and when you stop and think about it, there's probably a reason why they put shows on in the very latest spot...I posed a question earlier on Twitter about whether or not you need to be drunk to be a drag queen... but I think perhaps ...

1. I know I've thanked the universe for this already on more than one occasion, but I've got to say it: muscle relaxants 2. Butterscotch pecan muffins with too much whipped butter 3. Twitter, which manages to keep me informed, engaged, and crying with laughter (see @sween and @palinode and @ainsleyofattack) 4. The spam e-mails addressed to "schmilzalnick", because they make laugh every...

"Have no friends not equal to yourself." Who said that? Was it the Chinese philosopher Confucius or Hollywood's Twitter king Ashton Kutcher? The two thinkers go head-to-head with 10 pithy thoughts in this tougher-than-it-should-be Mental Floss quiz. ...

This week in pop culture and law is dedicated to Andrew Koenig. Best known for his role as 'Boner' on Growing Pains from 1985-89, Koenig suffered from depression as an adult and, sadly, was found dead yesterday in a Vancouver park after committing suicide. Believe it or not, suicide used to be a felony in many states and, today, some states classify attempted suicide as a criminal act even though prosecutions are rare. Illegal or not, let's make sure none of our friends or family gets to that point. If you are feeling desperate, alone, or hopeless ...

I don't know which is sadder: Former O-Town boy bander-turned-reality-star-turned-nobody Ashley Parker Angel tweeting that he'll have an espresso with anybody, anybody at all, please, SOMEBODY, omg he's so LONELY!! – or ME, for following Ashley Parker Angel on Twitter. It's true: I STILL LOVE HIM! I'LL HAVE COFFEE WITH YOU, ASHLEY! ...

Jersey Shore's Ronnie Magro apologized yesterday on Twitter after footage surfaced of the juiced up Guido unleashing a tirade of homophobic slurs at a man, before punching him.  Said Magro: "I apologize to my fans, In the heat of the moment i said a lot of things i didnt mean and im very sorry... i love my creepy fans.." Magro regularly refers to all of his fans as "creepy", in case you took that as a jibe. Italian Americans are mad at Ronnie for the slurs. Said a spokesperson for UNICO, the largest Italian American Service Organization in ...

This photo, which I snapped at sunset last night, is my one and only nod to Valentine's Day... or as I've seen it referred to on Twitter... "I Prefer To Be Single Day" or "The Feast of St Hallmark"...I saw the sunset from my bedroom window and headed out, then spotted these twin palm trees, which I'm sure I've seen a million times before, but yesterday, because I knew St Hallmark Day was around the corner, they kinda looked like a heart.Kinda... if you squint a bit...Other than that it's been a slow day... I finally gave J his ...

1. I get up between 5 and 6 in the morning. moroccomole gets up between 7 and 8. I like my early morning quietly-alone time. When he wakes up and gets online my monk-silence is punctuated by, "Hey, listen to this funny thing someone said on Twitter" or "Here is a news item you should know about" and "Do you want me to make some oatmeal?"So yesterday he woke up at 6:50, which made me wonder if the sun was about to crash into the earth. And he came out in his robe, sat on the couch (He ...

This blog is on indefinite hiatus until the 2010 UK election season, when I suspect I'll be unable to stop myself.I'm (occasionally) around on twitter, but mainly occupied elsewhere. ...

I just started following cool guy/porn star/art appreciator COLBY KELLER's Twitter and fell in love with his background (below) which is a tiled photo of him in front of his sizeable book collection with a sizeable bulge in his lap from his sizeable meat! Above, I took a crop of the background and pulled a Ted Turner and saturated it with color.Oh, and those thighs and bis!!! Drool. ...

Last week Friday we got to hear one version of Jump In The Air (Stay There) a collaboration between Erykah Badu and Lil' Wayne which grew on me a lot over the week. Today Erykah tweeted out a link to the first single from New Amerykah Part 2: Return Of The Ankh. This one is called Window Seat and features Questlove on drums and it's classic Erykah Badu, it would not have sounded out of place on the incredible Mama's Gun. I'm loving the official artwork (see below)! (Thanks Erykah-Badu.com) I have had this track on ...

He had me at the "happy pancake" avatar, of course, but Joe Jonas' tweets are ditzy, erratic, vaguely homoerotic, and often just plain odd. It's a rare look into a prettyboy's head: Not too much going on intellectually, but the wheels are always spinning. I've been following his missives for about a month now, and have compiled some of my favorites here. And OMG, they totally make me love him more than ever. Oh, and Joe? If you're reading this: When you get asked to leave 24 Hour Fitness? They aren't really closing, hon. That's just what they TELL ...

Here is a pic of the Moon and the Earth. Sent by Jose Hernandez via Twitter. From the International Space Station. Jose Hernandez is an astronaut. Wow. Even cooler is that it’s going to be really hard to Photoshop the aliens out pics that are insta-sent via Twitter. More below. More galactic Twitpics here. ...

That the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is on Twitter? Or that this was his tweet for today?: Stand by what I said: Allowing homosexuals to serve openly is the right thing to do. Comes down to integrity.... ...

The Only Really Thing" alt=" Spiral Beach The Only Really Thingby John Harvill Click here to view the embedded video. I can’t help but adjust to this new wave of indie rock. In a time where music is becoming more and more proclaimed for its commercial appeal and not its merits, music is on the run. Yet, Spiral Beach (Facebook, MySpace, Twitter) really hit the nail on the head with The Only Really Thing. If I have to listen to this new music, I hope more of it comes out sounding like ...
