Afternoon Links: Reporter Terrified by Magic
Reporters can be so stodgy. That’s why it’s nice to see them lose their brains every so often, like Allie Mac Kay did when confronted with the supreme awesomeness of a magic trick on KTLA. For some reason, this fluffy piece seems to have caused some torment for Mac Kay after a bleep was inserted […]

Doc Party: The Source Family, Private Practices, and Cat Dancers
The Source Family is one of the most aspirational documentaries in recent memory, and has been widely hailed as such since it made its way across a limited release and onto iTunes last month. Its members, including a leader who had curated his style to resemble Michelangelo’s God, seemed to have been placed into the […]

Afternoon Links: Paris Jackson, Bobbi Kristina, and Bruce Jenner’s Offended New Face
It’s been a pretty sad day for our treasured youth. Paris Jackson was taken to the hospital following a reported suicide attempt that may have stemmed from being denied the honor of attending a Marilyn Manson concert; meanwhile, Bobbi Kristina Brown was evicted following months of noise complaints and left behind this note for her […]

Afternoon Links: Do Androids Dream of Hacky Rape Jokes?
Data, the first robot comic, isn’t out to take over the lucrative human comedy game (the 2 drink minimum messes with his circuitry). His programmer’s goal in creating him was to bring us one step closer to a future in which “we can have a companion robot that doesn’t piss us off all the time” […]

It has been brought to my attention that something happened on Game of Thrones last night, and I feel so left out that I guess I finally have to crack and watch the whole thing in order to feel the emotions illustrated so viscerally in the video above. I can’t even tell if these people […]

Giggle All You Want, Michael Douglas Just Advanced the HPV Conversation
One of the most poignant moments of Behind the Candelabra, besides of course Matt Damon clawing at his plastic surgery mask of a face, was seeing Michael Douglas as a failing Liberace. The photos of Douglas that appeared in tabloids and online during his throat cancer treatments — and his appearance at the Wall Street: […]

Afternoon Links: Philip Seymour Hoffman Went to Drug Treatment, Is Better Now
Philip Seymour Hoffman recently checked out of a 10-day stay at a detox center to address a narcotics problem (he was clean for 23 years, according to TMZ, before relapsing last year). The actor admitted to snorting heroin for a week. First James Lipton pimpin’ and now this? Life is so rich. Hang in there, […]

Afternoon Links: Guess Pharrell’s Just Really Into Big Bang Theory
With every new day comes a new chance to link you to “Get Lucky.” Tonight’s special is the “Ultimate Johnny Galecki Fan Video,” which can’t be explained so much as delivered to your eyes and brain in a vacuum-sealed pouch. Also I just found out that the lyrics and performance were so “spontaneous” for Pharrell […]

Girls in Hoodies Podcast: Behind the Candelabra, Mad Men, and Leo in Space

Topics on the table include Behind The Candelabra, Steven Soderbergh’s incredible Liberace biopic for HBO, which thrilled us with outrageous Vegas schmaltz, genuine emotion, Matt Damon’s stank face, a tender […]

Is There Anything to All These Mad Men Conspiracies?
If Don Draper were alive today, he’d be 87 years old. Roger Sterling would be 96. Pete would be 79, Peggy would be 74, Joan would be 82, and Megan would be 73, but the likelihood that all of them would have survived after years in the smoky, boozy pressure cooker of SCDP (and its […]
