Oh Harry! Getting A Piece Of The Royal Pie

February 9, 2012 No Comments

There has been an upswing in royal fever on both sides of the Atlantic since last April. When Kate Middleton and Prince William got married, the British Royals were thrust into the spotlight for a generation who scarcely remember Princess Diana. Now that his brother is taken, Prince Harry has become one of the world’s ...

Why We’re All Still In Love With Jordan Catalano

Remember that time when I was with my friends and I saw you playing pool with your friends and I was like, “Maybe I should talk to him,” and Rayanne was like, “Go talk to him,” so I walked over and your friends were all looking at me and I was like, “Hey,” and you ...

This Fall, The Bachelor Takes On Canada

January 26, 2012 No Comments

For better or for worse, the popular franchise The Bachelor will come to Canada in the fall of 2012. Although it was only announced this past Monday, casting begins now. Let’s hope the one hunky man and his Canadian pick really fall in love and make it work — which would be contrary to the ...

Oh Shit! Meryl Streep Swears

January 19, 2012 1 Comment

Golden Globes audience was “shocked” when Meryl Streep dropped the s-bomb on live television Sunday night. She was about to read her acceptance speech, when she realized she had left her reading glasses at her table. The censor button cut in, stirring up a small controversy backstage. A rather condescending Access Hollywood interviewer asked Streep ...

Crotch-Grabbing! Different Sex? Different Rules!

Crotch-Grabbing! Different Sex? Different Rules!

January 12, 2012 No Comments

Rihanna has been receiving a lot of flack for supposedly “simulating masturbation” in her latest music video for the song You Da One. Whilst I don’t find crotch-grabbing the most attractive thing in the world it is amazing the amount of attention it seems to be getting simply because Rihanna is a young woman. Men ...

From Romance To Raunch

From Romance To Raunch

January 5, 2012 No Comments

Is romance dead? You would think so from seeing the prolific over-sexualization of women in music videos and gratuitous sex scenes on television and film. Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Madonna, Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez are only a few artists out of many that come to mind when I think of songstresses whose fashion motto is “barely ...

2011 was a year of uprisings, natural disasters and political change. It was also a year of absolutely cringeworthy moments in pop culture. Here is my top ten: 1. The Royal Wedding.

The Most Over and Under-Rated Christmas Songs

December 22, 2011 No Comments

Whether you are a Christian, Jew, Muslim, Buddhist, Atheist or still deciding, the thing that binds us all together at this time of year is a soul-shuddering hatred for certain Christmas carols — specifically the ones on repeat every time we step out of the house. But believe me, there are awesome Christmas songs out ...

Why Pan Am Failed To Inspire Me

Why Pan Am Failed To Inspire Me

December 15, 2011 No Comments

Considering the first episode of Pan Am involved a flight attendant (Laura, The Clever One) being recruited to work for the CIA, I hoped for lots of deconstruction of Cold War propaganda and such like. No luck. Kate (The Pretty One) runs away from her wedding in a less-than-compelling flashback sequence. This is meant to ...
