    Video: These Stayfree Ads Are The Creepiest Things I've Ever Seen

    Look, I’ve never really understood why lady products have to advertise so much to begin with. They’re lady products. You go to the store, you buy the same kind you always use. You buy them because you need them, not because they’re going to make you swirl and twirl and … More »

    90210: Tori Spelling's Nose Through the Years

    As today is National 90210 Day (it’s probably not official, but I’m going to go ahead, bang the gavel and make 9/02/10 a national holiday), we are celebrating everything 90210. Alright, so we all know Tori Spelling got a nose job … or two … or three and possibly double digits of Botox injections and possibly a face lift and possibly some other facial plastic surgeries. She even revealed in her book, Stori Telling, that her mother told her she would be pretty once she got a nose job. Unfortunately, her mother didn’t tell her that matching her dress to her book cover at book signings is stupid and a little obnoxious. Ok, so I’m ripping on Tori a little. So let’s change the mood and celebrate her on this glorious 90210 day. Here’s to Tori, and the stori (hee) of her nose … … More »

  • Why Would You Ever Photoshop Matthew McConaughey?

    Why Would You Ever Photoshop Matthew McConaughey?

    Matthew McConaughey (yes, I copy and pasted his impossible-to-spell last name) is known for his ruggedly handsome all-American good looks. So it’s no question why Dolce & Gabbana wanted the leather-skinned Texan to front their campaign for a new fragrance, “The One Gentleman.” But with one glance at the advertisement, it seems the D&G ad team decided to go Photoshop-happy on Matthew. The actor is clearly proud of his body and his looks as he is often seen partially (or fully) naked and obviously takes care of himself. So why make him look like a lanky male model? The differences between Matthew McConaughey Photoshopped and Matthew McConaughey au naturale are clear: … More »
