For those of you who prefer your beverages sans alcohol, the Mojito makes for a delicious virgin cocktail too!

Jasmine Fiore’s Millionaire Ex-Husband and Reality T.V. Star Found Dead by Hanging – Ryan Alexander Jenkins

Michelle — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 19:24:13 +0000

Canadian Millionaire Ryan Jenkins seemingly had it all: a buxom trophy wife, Jasmine Fiore, financial wealth and newly found reality t.v. fame. What went wrong?

The hunt for the alleged millionaire turned reality television star turned alleged murderer is now over. Ryan Jenkins, the ex-hubby of murdered swimsuit model, Jasmine Fiore, has been found dead. Jenkins, 32, a native Canadian was found hanged by his belt on a coat rack in a small room at the Thunderbird Motel in Hope, British Columbia. Officials believe Jenkins death is a suicide. The word on the street is that a wholesome-looking 20-something blonde accompanied Jenkins to the motel. The young hottie checked in with the motel’s front desk while Jenkins waited in his car. However, the mystery blonde was M.I.A. at the time Jenkins’ body was discovered. Really, this scandal is above and beyond the staged bizarro of a reality melodrama and has developed into a sleazy Hollywood murder mystery.

Model Liskula Cohen Wins – Playboy Model Jasmine Fiore Found Dead in Suitcase

Michelle — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 21:13:26 +0000

Liskula Cohen has won a lawsuit against Google and the identity of anonymous name-calling blogger. Conversely, model Jasmine Fiore has lost her life for presumably more than cyber smack talk.

This week has been quite the week for models in the press. One rightfully deserving the attention and the other probably not. We’ll start with the “probably not” because the supercilious one is so much more fun!

Rebecca Gayheart, Eric Dane and That Other Girl’s Threesome Sex Tape EXCLUSIVE PICS

Michelle — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 22:43:04 +0000

The sex tape was a wash-up but hopefully you'll find this illustration to be a fun splash. One thing is certain - whatever is going on above beats "three men in a tub". Rub-a-Dub-Dub, baby! Composite art by Michelle.

The month of August typically brings heat, bothersome humidity and media doldrums. It’s been quite some time since a steamy celebrity sex tape hit the Internet and today was no exception. Recently, Gawker.com published a censored version of a “sex tape” starring Grey’s Anatomy star, Eric Dane (along with his anatomy), his wife former Noxema girl, Rebecca Gayheart and former beauty queen turned wanna-be Heidi Fleiss, Kari Ann Periche. I use quotations loosely around sex tape because although there is nudity (refer to Fleshbot.com’s version) there wasn’t much sex….or any remotely interesting happenings. I retract that statement. There was some hot fondling of rubber duckies dipping underwater during the “bathtub scene” along with the use of questionable contraband. Oh, yeah and one chick’s alter ego is named “Nina” and the dude is Peter Cocaine Cowboy or something another. Giddy-up!!!

It seems like this celeb erotic film of late has lost a stiff wind in its sail (well, a stiff anything). And this uneventful one may leaves its stars all washed up and high and dry.

P.S. Unfortunately the released sex footage was a boring bust so I felt compelled to make it up to you dear readers with the above Photoshopped pièce de résistance. Enjoy!

Sexy Strawberry Watermelon Sangria That’s Sure to Make Her Blush

Michelle — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 06:06:07 +0000

Last week on a whim, I tried something new. I created a how-to video for an easy-to-make and delicious summer refreshment: Watermelon Lemonade. To my surprise, many of you dear viewers/readers (by the way, thank you for watching!) expressed that you’d like another chilled libation for this weekend.

Just in time to kick off your Saturday is a seriously sexy Strawberry Sangria that’s sure to get you laid. Ok, that’s pushing it. However, it’s certain to wow that “special someone”. Even Napoleon Dynamite will be jealous of your super domesticated-like skills. And ya know the best part? It’ll take you about five minutes to prepare and doesn’t cost mucho dinero. Even better, now you know what to do with that half-bottle of blush wine that was sorta going funky in the fridge. So, it’s time for you to get in the kitchen, bathtub, your car, under your office desk or wherever it is you get on your down and dirty drink mojo. Salud and drink responsibly!

P.S. For those of you who enjoy a lush life, remember Sangria isn’t fruit punch and too much may cause your motor skills to crash. If your lack of sobriety should result in a drunken stooper here’s a link to a few “tried and true” idiot friendly hangover cures. The bacon one is THE best!

Virgin or Hard – DIY Watermelon Lemonade!

Michelle — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 03:30:10 +0000

Wow, the warm months are really flying by and two of my favorite summer perrenials are watermelon and lemonade. This is my first how-to video (well, one that’s NOT a parody) – it’s easy to make (hopefully!), tastes yummy and even yummier when you throw back some vodka with it. For those of you watermelon lushies who enjoy the hard version of this drink, be advised it’s NOT just fruit juice. If your lack of sobriety should result in a drunken stooper here’s a link to a few “tried and true” idiot friendly hangover cures. The bacon one is THE best!

P.S. Almost forgot my little legal disclaimer mumbo jumbo. Please be advised that the hard version is for the 21+ crowd (if you’re in the States). Younger viewers/readers elsewhere in the world – party on!

Freak Show: Joe Jackson Pimps Michael Jackson’s Memorial Service

Michelle — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 18:29:08 +0000

Tickets to attend Jackson's memorial service circus will have fans shelling out more than mere peanuts.

Update: Tickets are free via online lottery. Over 1.6 million people registered for the chance to receive one of the 17,500 free tickets.

The King of Pop is dead but the “Wacko” media circus is alive and well! Radaronline.com posted on their blog today that Michael Jackson’s memorial service will be held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles next Tuesday, July 7th.

Michael Jackson’s father Joe Jackson is said to be in charge of this Hollywierd extravaganza, milking his cash cow of a son, even in death. The two hour long service will have many superstars in attendance. However, Jacko’s fans will have to shell out a lot more than mere peanuts to attend this memorial circus. The nosebleed seats are set to have a nauseating ticket price: a whopping twenty-five clams a pop. M.J. merchandise not included! Gotta love show biz – it’s oh so clASSy!

Funky Spunk: Michael Jackson is NOT the Biological POP!

Michelle — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 23:16:45 +0000

Michael Jackson may have been the "King of Pop" and a proud Poppa but he didn't pop out one of his own. Who'd a spunk it!

Not even a week after Michael Jackson’s sudden passing and the tributes have already begun to wane and make way for a full on Thriller of a media Freak Show. With an estate possibly worth a billion dollars in question (minus the $400 million dollars of reported debt), and three young children survived by Michael, more of MJ’s biological skeletons may be rattling out of his chateau-sized closet.

Sasha Obama’s Pool Party was a Big Splash for Taxpayers?

Michelle — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 15:50:29 +0000

Happy Eighth Birthday Sasha Obama! Hope it was a big splash!

President Obama is not only an exemplary politician but also a role model of a father. In a news article published in the Baltimore Sun yesterday, Barack emphasized the importance of maintaining a normal family life in his White House by making his young daughters’ schedules a priority on his to do list. In fact, so much so that the Prez was quoted as saying, “You know, we had travel. I had to go to Normandy. And then the girls had, Sasha had her birthday party here, and she was flying folks in for a pool party. So, really, it revolves around the girls’ social schedule.”

According to Blackcelebkids.com, Sasha O.’s eighth birthday was a full four day fête (June 7^th – 10^th) while living it up in Paris, France and London, England (even closing tourist hotspot Westminster Abbey!) and according to Dad, a pool party at the White House. That’s quite some birthday for an eight-year-old! Next year’s decadent festivities may have to top Paris Hilton’s twenty-first bday debauchery.

Best Recession Biz: Flipping Burgers Over Obama!

Michelle — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 20:27:05 +0000

Photo art by Michelle.

The economy might be in the can but all hail the Commander of Cheese!

Inarguably, the current state of the economy is grim if not hopeless. Economic forecasters expect unemployment numbers to continue to rise. For those of you fretting over a pink slip fear not! Entrepreneurism in the fast food industry is alive and well in the greater Washington D.C. metro area. If you’re just a short drive from the District, consider cashing in a last unemployment check, tying on an apron and start flippin’ burgers. Say what?! Yup, flipping burgers for the politicos along the Potomac is the new cash cow. Should Prez Obama and entourage stop in at your greasy spoon for a bite the overnight over lunch publicity could have you bringing home the bacon.

Donald Trump Fires Miss California and Her Breasts – Perez Hilton Sez Hallelujah!

Michelle — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 21:50:38 +0000

Updated – Just a month after Donald Trump held a press conference and announced his benevolent decision to keep Carrie Prejean and her admirable breasts crowned as Miss California, this afternoon the Donald revoked his choice. First Runner Up, Miss Malibu Tami Farrell is now the reigning Miss California.

Rumor is that Miss Prejean’s ego got carried away as she refused to attend nearly thirty events as Miss California. Keith Lewis, the Executive Director of the Miss California USA pageant stated that Prejean was dethroned due to “…contract violations including Ms. Prejean’s unwillingness to make appearances on behalf of the Miss California USA organization.”. Can’t imagine that Perez Hilton would be at each and every one with a mob of angry Prop 8 protestors?! However, in a phone interview for TMZ.com Prejean claimed that Lewis tried to pimp her out to Playboy magazine for a $140,000 semi-nude gig. It’s understandable that a devout Christian gal might take offense to such an offer. Getting paid six figures to pose parially naked?!!! Sweet Jesus! Can’t blame the pageant for wanting to cash in on a Playboy spread. After all, they want and expect a return on their breast augmentation investment.

Miss Prejean’s former modeling agent, Francine Champagne of Visions Model Management in Los Angeles said of Prejean, “I just felt like she was a little nutty and I’d rather not represent someone with that mind frame and I just think she is a problem, and I did not feel that she was of the utmost professionalism and she did not follow through on her side of the bargain so therefore we decided to cut our losses and let her go.”. Even the Donald was quoted as saying “To me she was the sweetest thing. Everyone else — she treated like s**t.”.

Judging by those few statements Carrie is either difficult to work with OR someone who really does stand her ground. Miss Prejean certainly has a talent for commanding press and a captivated audience – there’s probably more of her to come. So, what will it be next for the former beauty queen…a possible stint on Celebrity Apprentice? She’s got the hook up in the bag.

Playboy Promoted Raping Republican Women

Michelle — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 22:23:12 +0000

Judging by the model's shocked expression, she thinks Cimbalo is so wrong it's wrong. Or, this fine filly is rearing to go for Regis Philbin. Giddy-up!

Once upon a time, savvy, straight men and open-minded women blew their horns that they read the mainstream men’s magazine, Playboy, for its highly informative articles. Then came yesterday, a now infamous day in misogynistic publishing (well, at least for the past twenty-four hours) when a blowhard writer hater by the name of Guy Cimbalo informed blue-balled web denizens of the ten conservative women he’d like to “hate fuck”. After that statement, Playboy’s few remaining readers might want to fess up that they subscribe just to ogle naughty and ridiculously retouched pictures.

Yes, I’m aware that Playboy is a 2-D shrine to boobs, but I’m still confused as to how they got an insolent boob to write for them. To top that off, they even got a boob editor who gave the okay! This “list” of hateful drivel isn’t in the least bit informative, funny, witty, clever or entertaining. If anything it’s an outrageous embarrassment to liberals of both sexes, and beats the pitiful code of ethics boasted by drunken New Jersey frat boys. Mr. Cimbalo (and I use the title “Mr.” with unadulterated sarcasm) is entitled to disagree with these women’s political opinions and overall ideology. But to suggest “hate fucking” them is downright deplorable. Such language suggests sexual torment, humiliation and battery. “Hate fuck” equates to “love to rape”.

Teacher Taught SEX ED One On One!

Michelle — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 21:12:56 +0000

Schoolboys fantasize about it. Porn sites are devoted to it. So, when a sexy female teacher on the prowl lustfully brushes up against a young, red-blooded male cub student it’s presumable that he won’t cry out, “Don’t Stand So Close to Me”. For a horny and hopeful young man, after school detention may lead to private and hands-on lessons in sexual education. After all, only a dunce wouldn’t be hot for that willing teacher!

There’s really no way to skirt around the issue of double standards. American culture dictates that it’s taboo for an older male teacher to offer sexual guidance to an innocent and sweet underage schoolgirl, right? Society instantaneously shouts “sex offender”, “sexual deviant” and “statutory rape”, without any regard or reservation for which party might have initiated the randy trysts. Best to reserve those barely legal Lolita reveries for your pay-site subscriptions.

However, in the reverse it’s kosher if not lauded for a teenage boy to be hard up for an archetypical hottie like Ms. Doumé (due-may) as illustrated in the picture above. The young stud that scores a notch on his belt with a Ms. Doumé is guaranteed points in the locker room, the attention of jealous high school girls and a loving slap on the back from ole Dad. Unless the school marm could be mistakened for a brick house rather than a Brickhouse Betty as in the recent, alleged case against the large and lovely New York City teacher, Melissa Weber. The 27-year-old social studies teach was arrested for getting too “social” with a 14-year-old boy in a Jamaica Queens clASSsroom. Ms. Weber is accused of rape (which she may very well be guilty of) and lots of sullied sexting.

It will be telling if plain Jane Ms. Weber will receive as much media interest as her Playboy-esque colleague, Debra Lafave did back in 2004 (since all charges against Lafave have been dropped ). Who knows, maybe Nick Carter will release a press statement that he lost his virginity a second time to Weber. Doubtful!

Readers, is it hot to be Hot for Teacher? Or just ill?

Obama Wants to Color You White!

Michelle — Wed, 27 May 2009 18:52:38 +0000

Pres. Obama and U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu potentially see a fair amount of green in the lighter shades of white. Photo art by Michelle.

If President Obama has his way, your personal property might get a blanching. Compared to a horse of a different color, it’s really not that outlandish. This past Tuesday at a climate change symposium in London hosted by the Prince of Wales, Mr. President expressed his interest in painting rooftops and roadways an “energy-reflecting white”. U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu explained that by painting roads and flat roofs a lighter color it could have a similar energy-saving effect as taking every car worldwide off the road for a whopping eleven years.

As stated in this article, Secretary Chu rationalized that, “It was a geo-engineering scheme that was “completely benign” and would keep buildings cooler and reduce energy use from air conditioning, as well as reflecting sunlight back away from the Earth.

For people who found white hard on the eye, scientists had also developed “cool colours” which looked to the human eye like normal ones, but reflect heat like pale colours even if they are darker shades.

And painting cars in cool or light colours could deliver considerable savings on energy use for air conditioning units, he said.”

Reducing energy costs while saving the planet sounds like a bright idea. My question is, where will they get the green to go green? The U.S. Treasury is broke; hopefully, this won’t be a blinding initiative that will break the backs of taxpayers. Or, maybe this plan for global whitewashing will end washed up.

California Believes Gay Marriage is Queer!

Michelle — Wed, 27 May 2009 02:34:17 +0000

It appears that Carrie Prejean, Miss California 2009, not only spoke on her behalf but also for the majority of California State voters (i.e. California, as in one of the most liberal states in the Union). If your recollection is a wee bit foggy, I’d be much obliged to clear it up for you. Remember Miss California’s “opposite marriage” remark last month during the Miss USA pageant? Ah, yes that one (and if you have absolutely no idea just play along with me, would ya?!)! Earlier today, California’s Supreme Court announced their decision to uphold Proposition 8 (a.k.a. “Prop 8″), the November 2008 voter ballot that banned same sex marriage. Well, it sure as hell looks as if Miss Cali. was on the straight and narrow with her response. Ouch, did I just hear Perez Hilton get bitch smacked? Or just bitching…

So, déjà vu, it’s like 2007 all over again for the gay community of California except for those same sex couples that were legally married before the ballot vote. An appeal is impotent imminent, and maybe – just maybe, there will be a rainbow for the gay and lesbian community on the other side of their gray cloud.

Gay or straight, married or divorced, let Prop 8 be a lesson to us all. This is a fine example that you’ve got to milk the teat of potentially beneficial California state laws before they go POOF overnight. Ya know, strike while the iron is hot. So, should you have a medical need for marijuana, you’d better head west and get your doctor prescribed ganja before that too goes Up In Smoke.

Some easy eats and drinks to cure your morning-after misery.

You vowed you’d never to do it again. Nevertheless, somehow you’ve managed to get yourself in that same nasty predicament yet another time. Daylight burns your dreary, bloodshot eyes. Your mouth is cotton-dry. Your head is pounding and your entire body aches as the nausea begins to swell over you.

Uh oh, here comes the upchuck! Quick, brace yourself and get ready to kiss the porcelain goddess. Hello, hangover hell, how nice NOT to meet you again. Damn it!

Does the above ring a sobering bell for you? Binge drinking isn’t a bright idea. However, should you accidentally pass your limit here’s a few quick and easy cure-alls to aid your ailin’ just in time for Sunday brunch.

What the Fudge?! Twenty-Two Dollar Brownie Mix!!!

Michelle — Thu, 21 May 2009 21:45:57 +0000

$22 bucks for a box of designer brownie mix? Only a DOPE would pay that much!

You can have your cake and eat it too, but it might cost you!

Candy connoisseur and entrepreneur Dylan Lauren (daughter of fashion mogul, Ralph Lauren), of Dylan’s Candy Bar, is banking sweetly from her decadent treats and do-it-yourself sweets. Alas, these costly, take-home coolinary kits, like the Chocolate Brownie Mix, have a biting price tag of $22 clams! You’d expect a boxed mix to shoot you over the moon for laying down that kind of mean green. The packaging says it’s made with seventy percent Belgian chocolate. Surely, for that much cash the other thirty percent must contain hash?! Nope, unfortunately it includes no dope but you’d have to be high to buy. Or go dutch or broke!

As for my fudge fix, I’ll stick with a three dollar Betty Crocker mix. If your sweet tooth can’t resist Dylan’s, try a multi-tasking, chocolaty indulgence that’s lip-smacking good, skimps on the calories and it’ll let your wallet maintain its weight. Check out Dylan’s Chocolate Cupcake Lip Saver at Sephora.com.

Brownie Points

Using apple sauce as a substitute for vegetable oil cuts out fatty calories and makes your brownies extra fudgy while saving your waistline from growing regrettably pudgy. Be sure to read the directions on the side of your boxed brownie mix and/or check your recipe for alternative baking instructions.

According to Dylanscandybar.com, “the first known recipe for brownies was published in the 1897 Sears Roebuck Catalogue”. “Aging like a fine wine” is considered praise by some. However, the compliment of “aging like a brownie”, indubitably would be welcomed by none.

Company Crumbs

According to this Crain’s article published in 2008, Dylan’s Candy Bar was expected to have generated revenues of $20 million dollars last year. Now that’s a whole lotta bon bons!
