A Universe of Things: Down the 3-D Printing Rabbit Hole
Late at night, several years ago, Molly Lambert sent me a Gchat about the Internet of Things. The Internet of Things is a topic best discussed late at night, but at the same time, I found it impossible to wrap my head around a definition that included words like “petabytes” and “RFID” and phrases such […]

Omar Sy and Bradley Cooper are in talks to appear in The Weinstein Company’s comedy Chef. Cooper previously starred in Fox’s Kitchen Confidential, but you probably don’t remember that.

Afternoon Links: Heated Debates, Burning Love, and a Hot Pants-Crapping
For your first course, a quartet of debates: the UCB versus a cadre of disgruntled comics; Tonto and the new Lone Ranger spot versus the Native American community (pairs well with a dipping sauce of bad puns); a squabble over whether Mike Tyson’s guest spot on Law & Order: SVU is a good idea considering […]

Afternoon Links: Kutcher Goes Method, WikiLeaks Goes Meta
Too many Apples a day: After adopting Steve Jobs’s fruitarian diet for his role in the biopic jOBS, Ashton Kutcher wound up in the hospital with pancreatic problems. Jobs reportedly experimented with a number of oddball diets: He turned orange from too much carrot juice, lived off of Roman Meal cereal, and attempted to combat […]

SNL Episode 12: Adam Levine Gets Naked
Look: This past SNL might not be one for the books or anything, but it beat the daylights out of the previous one, so let’s just drink to that for now. Adam Levine co-hosted with a set of cue cards that — when they weren’t being reflected in windows during a Catfish parody or casting […]

Afternoon Links: People On The Internet Have Opinions About The 2013 Coachella Lineup
Time for the Coachella lineup opinion monsoons! Among the gripes: no holograms, Kurt Vile billed in tiny print, we can’t use the poster as a calendar, somebody must have misspelled “Rolling Stones.” Looks like your 41 year-old cousin finally made his voice heard this year.

Afternoon Links: Dogs, Rats, Porcupines, and Girls
GIRLS! GIRLS! GIRLS! This Girl confirms that Girls has been renewed for a third season. One Girl imagines her father newscasting her tragic hypothetical death. Another girl looks like Justin Timberlake. And these sobby voice mails were not left by a girl, but you could have fooled me. The scary thing about girls is that […]

American Horror Story Season 2, Finale: ‘Madness Ends’
Well. It’s over. Are you OK? Are you going to be OK? Are we going to be OK? American Horror Story: Asylum has wrapped, and Shelley hasn’t been turned into an immortal legless fembot. We never got a close-up on the aliens. Satan Mary Eunice never ghosted herself back into Briarcliff to put her feet […]

Afternoon Links: The Canyons Rejected, Advertorial Misadventures, and Charlie Brown’s Arraignment
SXSW rejects The Canyons, following suit with Sundance. Just in case it wasn’t clear enough that they didn’t like the film, an “insider” opined that “it’s got an ugliness and deadness to it.” Hey. At least we got this out of the deal. It’s like Argo! Fake movies made exclusively for the purpose of begetting […]

Afternoon Links: Beyoncégate, Julian Assange, and Kate Upton
Stomp, stomp, squish. That was the news stepping on and killing your tender, furry, adorable dream that Beyoncé was actually singing the national anthem. Scrape, slosh, dee-ba-wee-ba-wee. That was “a tipster” trying to glue those dreams back together and make it purr again. Beytheists versus ear-piece-ripping/singing vein/Beyhive-subscribing Beyvangelists, into the arena you go!
