Looks like the producers of Jersey Shore just got more than they bargained for! Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, one of the stars of show, is pregnant. No doubt the makers of Jersey Shore are more used to contriving drunken antics than filming moms-to-be pick out a bassinet! The producers of the show seem to have taken ...

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. Daily Mail pundits with their hands down their pants gasping to see whether the royal clothes horse had her hair up or down. ...

Apparently, a disgruntled staffer at The Globe and Mail wishes she (he?) was protesting on Wall Street instead of writing captions to photos of celebrities. I had to take some screen shots because there is no way something this good was authorized. As a shout-out to all you history buffs (complaining that if we don’t ...

I’m not happy she has panic attacks, but I’m certainly pleased she’s being so open about it. Last week Amanda Seyfried admitted that she has been suffering from extreme panic attacks and irrational fears or worries. Everyone is blaming her star status.

Do young girls seriously think that getting pregnant will bring them fame and fortune?! Apparently some girls are getting pregnant on purpose to be on reality television shows about teenage motherhood. They seem to think this 15 minutes of fame is worth a lifetime of responsibility and sacrificing their independence and youth. MTV runs shows ...

Glee teacher Will Schuester is played by Matthew Morrison who, apparently, thinks he’s a bad actor and it’s only his sex appeal that has got him as far in his career as he is. Well sorry to burst your bubble Mr. Morrison, but looks can only get you so far in the acting business. You ...
