As we have previously discussed, Alec Baldwin recently became engaged to “yoga instructor Hilaria Thomas,” a woman many years his junior. And this past weekend, they followed through on said engagement by getting married in New York City. I’m not sure why writers insist on throwing “yoga instructor” into each and every reference to her like it’s some sort of insult–my body rejects yoga like it’s ipecac, so I view anyone who’s mastered it as some sort of insanely pain and boredom tolerant god-being–but one thing I am sure of is that Alec Baldwin’s 16-year-old daughter (with previous wife Kim Basinger) Ireland Baldwin sure looked sulky in some photos taken of the new family the next day.

Here’s a true testament to the massive significance of prom: I know everything about it and I didn’t even go*. Prom’s influence is so far-reaching, so pervasive, so unquantifiable that I know pretty much all there is to know about it, thanks to pop culture. Here, I’ve helpfully narrowed down the 10 most important things about prom in one helpful Illustrated Guide. More »

How I Outran My Muggers

How I Outran My Muggers

Have you ever spent time fantasizing about how you’d do in a crime-type situation? I have, and in my fantasies, I always lose. I curl up into the fetal position on the ground and offer my assailant all of my money, my ATM password, and the keys to my roommate’s car, just please don’t hurt me, Mr. Scary Mugger Man. But when I actually found myself menaced by some unsavory young people, it didn’t play out that way at all, and that’s why I’m writing this boast post. More »

Pumpkin patch of sex

Today, we learned about how 17-year-old Courtney Stodden‘s “crazy” days are filled with waking up at noon, putting on sexy outfits, and making a mocha for herself while 51-year-old husband Doug Hutchinson cleans up after her. Stodden is delighted with the situation, of course, because she is a teenager. Anyway, editors Jennifer Wright and Ashley Cardiff decided to discuss the merits of infantilizing your significant other. Ashley will be the voice of reason and Jennifer will be saddled with the opposition. She is putting her hair in pigtails as we speak. More »
