Michael Musto interviewed Bret Easton Ellis about The Canyons. There will be dirt!

- Your hipster logo design guide. Can’t beat Futura.
- As you may know, I watch a lot of garbage television, but the fact that Celebrity Wife Swap was renewed for a third season is blowing my mind. The terms “wife” and “celebrity” have never been used so loosely.
- Nobody but me watches the fake-Survivor vehicle Siberia, so I hope the fake-Bachelor show Unreal has a better shot. Meta-reality is the new black.
- Speaking of which, let’s never stop celebrating Orange Is the New Black and the feelings — the love feelings — it gives us.

- Jessica Alba versus mommy blogger.
- Comedian showdown.
- Trying to find plot clues in the audio trailer for Homeland’s third season.
- Karaoke performances can make a person feel murdery, especially when “Hotel California” is involved.

- Telepathically communicating with your pet rat has never been so easy.
- Farm to table to 911.
- “Please Draw Rabbit hitting a bong on the pizza box! thank you we appreciate your artistic abilities and integrity.”
- Man, I’m so sad about this one. I always really liked Masterchef’s tall Josh and it looks like he’s had some kind of a psychotic break (like, you know, claiming to be possessed by Gordon Ramsay, who “transformed him into God”). Couldn’t Ramsay’s evil engrams have taken racist Krissi instead? She could use a brain makeover.
