Courtney Love Did A Commercial For Those Weird Electronic Cigarettes

Courtney Love Did A Commercial For Those Weird Electronic Cigarettes

Courtney Love is on a roll lately, endorsement deal-wise. In addition to starring in the new  YSL campaign for expensive clothes based on the cheap clothes she used to wear, she’s also gone and done her first(!) commercial for a product that perfectly encapsulates what the famed Hole frontwoman means to us in 2013: the e-cig. You know, as in electronic cigarettes, as in those strange metal tubes with the blue light on the end you see people sucking on indoors at parties. More »

Was Kate Moss Once A Danger To Society?

Was Kate Moss Once A Danger To Society?

Here’s a history lesson for you: on this day in 2007, the Scottish health minister Andy Kerr decided he was done with just sitting back and watching Kate Moss being so ”blasé” about smoking in public. Kerr’s concern was for the legions of people, teenagers especially, who look up to Kate and might be thinking that picking up a cigarette is “cool.” Well, kids, it’s not “cool” and Kate is “uncaring” for living her life as she chooses.

LeAnn Rimes’ Smoking, Pregnant Bride Costume: Funny Or Dumb?

LeAnn Rimes’ Smoking, Pregnant Bride Costume: Funny Or Dumb?

This is a post from our sister site, Blisstree.

I’m a fan of LeAnn Rimes cheeky chain-smoking, beer-guzzling pregnant bride costume. The country singer and her husband Eddie Cibrian—in camo pants and a perfectly-redneck barbed-wire temporary tattoo—certainly trash up well.

Given Rimes’ country roots—plus the media scrutiny she’s recieved over everything from her weight to her relationships (she left her first husband for Cibrian, who was also married when the two met)—choosing to dress up as a bad news bride makes me think Rimes has a good sense of humor about things. Plus, you’ve got to admit—she’s got the hair down (also: Hello, Instagram; stars—they’re just like us!). More »

BAD MOTHER

COFFIN TIME
AAAAH FUCK

As you may already know, the FDA has instituted a plan to put one of nine large, graphic warning labels on every pack of cigarettes sold in the U.S. This is meant to prevent both kids and adults from starting to smoke, as well as encouraging current smokers to quit (and/or just really bum them out) by reminding them of their impending doom. The images they chose are pretty grim, but the rejected ones make them look downright wholesome by comparison. A lot of them seem to be directed specifically towards women; does the FDA think women will be more receptive to its message than men? Let’s take a look. More »

We’re inspired by the sensible advice from out friends at Jezebel about surviving your office holiday party. Don’t wear ironic sweaters! Don’t get drunk! Look at them. Making good decisions. But look, just because we’re drunk right now – and wearing comically ugly holiday sweaters, every last one of us – doesn’t mean that we can’t offer good(ish) advice, too. So, here. Here is your early guide to surviving the hell-horrors summoned by children’s persistent letters to Satan. More »
