Here’s some more VS Pink campaign pics, this time staring some girl named Ieva Laguna. I’ve never heard of her but I know that VS Pink is corporate strategy to target tweens into their spell, so everything she’s wearing is designed for a 14 year old, and this Ieva Laguna is supposed to represent a 14 year old, which probably turns at least one of you on…long gone are the days of 14 year olds in little kid underwear fearing the day they get their period LIKE THIS CAMP GYNO SHIT ….and thanks to Christian friendly Victoria’s Secret, now 14 year olds can be sluts… It’s a whole new world people…and I’m sure that turns you on.
A couple weeks ago we were sounding the rally cry with these Kick-Ass 2 videos . I hope everyone chose sides and is out fighting for their faction, but now it’s time to check out the Kick-Ass 2 poster. Jim Carrey (who spoke out recently on the violence of Kick-Ass 2 ) , Chloe Morentz, Aaron Tyler-Johnson, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse all have that “don’t cross me or I will mess you up” look in their eyes, which is about right given their roles. I like it. Not going to lie, I’m a little curious as to what is up with the paint splatter thing they’ve got going there, but overall, it’s a great poster. Kick-Ass 2 opens on August 16th. Want some more movie news? How about this Out of the Furnace trailer featuring former superhero Christian Bale?
This is hilarious… I mean probably not to the republican readers who will automatically think this is a liberal ploy to show the world just how insensitive the far right media is…they hate liberals so much they throw balls at their babies…because they know that baby is a Youtube Star and despite Youtube being owned by Google and just as corrupt as all American big business…but features millions of gay friendly, abortion friendly, liberal views…making it the devil to Christian society… Either way, I laughed..
Aaron Hernandez’s accommodations in jail as he awaits trial for murder are the subject of great concern, the American Civil Liberties Union believes. In a recent blog post, the ACLU laments the damage being done to Hernandez as he remains in protective custody, also known as solitary confinement . The ACLU argues that in reality, this can do more damage than good, and that many countries “recognize solitary confinement as a form of torture.” “Regardless of what you think of Aaron Hernandez, it’s important to take a minute and remember he has not yet been convicted,” ACLU.org wrote. “In the eyes of the law, he is innocent until proven guilty. But, awaiting trial, he is locked alone in a small room with little or no human interaction for over 20 hours a day.” He could remain in that position for many months, or even a year. Accused of orchestrating an execution-style murder of Odin Lloyd, he was denied bail twice due to his perceived flight risk and strength of the prosecution’s evidence. He is reportedly being kept away from the general population for his safety, but the ACLU worries about him being kept in a cell the “size of a parking spot.” The ACLU cites “debilitating psychological effects” when a prisoner is extremely isolated, and argues that it may encourage repeat criminal behavior. The former New England Patriots tar, police believe, had the motive , means, and opportunity to kill Lloyd, with plenty of evidence to support that. Still, the 23-year-old will spend too much time in less-than-ideal conditions until he has his day in court, and the ACLU worries about the long-term effects. What do you think? Does the group have a point?
Hollie McNish, a British poet and mother, has taken the breastfeeding world by storm with her scathing defense of breastfeeding in public. A video of McNish reading her spoken-word poem, “Embarrassed” has gone viral, just as National Breastfeeding Week closes in the U.K. and Alicia Silverstone launches a vegan-friendly milk-sharing bank. Hollie McNish Defends Breastfeeding in Public McNish wrote the poem over the course of six months as she nursed her daughter in public restrooms after being told she should just stay at home the first time she tried to breastfeed in public. Now, three years later, she has released her battle cry on the world for the first time in hopes of helping other moms in the same position feel unashamed of breastfeeding their babies. The poet is clear that she’s not against formula feeding and hates the rift between moms who breastfeed and moms who formula feed. She just believes that it’s time to support moms going through what she experienced, especially when it seems like it’s okay for women to show skin at any time other than when they’re feeding a baby. She closes her poem with the following lines: “in this country of billboards covered in tits I think we should try to get used to this.” So, what do you think, THGers? Is it time to get used to this? Or should moms just stay home if their baby needs to eat? Of course! It’s totally natural! And besides, baby’s gotta eat! No way! That’s gross. She can do that somewhere else. View Poll »
Only five bachelors remain for Desiree Hartsock . On tonight’s episode of The Bachelorette she’ll travel with them to Madeira where Brooks Forester will make a shocking revelation. Feelings are forming, y’all. If last week’s previews are any indicator, there are sure to be man tears tonight. So let’s get started with our THG +/- recap system! (Impatient? We don’t blame you. Skip straight to The Bachelorette spoilers . It’s our little secret.) Madeira is beautiful and completely fueling my wanderlust. Plus 7 . Chris is falling in love with Desiree. He’s ready to introduce her to his family, buy her a ring, and have a litter of puppies. Or babies. Whichever. Plus 3 . Des invited girls from her Bachelor season to give her their thoughts on the remaining five bachelors. Among them? Catherine, Sean Lowe’s fiancee. Awkward. Desiree’s falling in love with more than one guy. Uh-oh. As the girls are chatting about the guys, the guys decide to go for a dip in the pool. Conveniently. Minus 5 . Drew racks up “best kisser” and “best body” while Chris gets “most athletic.” Brooks gets “best eyes” and Zak gets “most adventurous.” Des has daydreamed of who has the best Junior and says they’ll all be great at first. Naughty, naughty!! Brooks has his second one-on-one date with Desiree and thinks today is about taking things to the next level. Chris can see the connection Des and Brooks have and that makes him nervous. She has to decide if she wants to meet his parents and if she wants him to meet her parents. And Brooks has to decide if he wants to introduce Desiree to his parents. It’s all so angsty. Minus 7 . Brooks wants to figure out where their relationship is and they decide they need an adjective between like and love to describe where they are. He’s definitely not himself on this date. Des pictures her life with Brooks as an adventure each and every day. She’s falling in love with Brooks and wants him to know it. Plus 9. They’re on a date that is actually in the clouds. It’s other-worldly. Brooks says that things with the two of them are easy already. He’s looking for someone to put together the puzzle pieces with him. Des can see Brooks as her husband and in the past 30 seconds she’s said “falling in love” or “find love” at least 10 times. Minus 4 What they both want is to be in love with someone. So they’re on the same page. Des says they’ve had a breakthrough in their relationship but that sounded like a lot of wishy-washy non-committal back-and-forth to my ears. They share a touching “I’m so glad to be here with you” and then shout that they’re on Cloud 9 out into the, um, clouds. Back at the house, Chris gets a one-on-one date for the following day. He’s ready to give a “Tiger Woods fist pump.” Thus solidifying his superlative as Most Athletic. Plus 5 Desiree is falling in love with Brooks and hopes that after their dinner, they’ll both be able to say the same. Brooks’ family gets really attached to his girlfriends, so he’s a little afraid to introduce Des to them. Desiree says that first and foremost, she wants Brooks to want her to meet his family. Plus 4 He brings up their adjective game and she says skipping, jogging, running, and finish line. It’s a marathon not a sprint? Brooks feels like Desiree admitting that she’s running toward the finish line with him was “honest” but he’s “behind in his emotional process.” That sounds like the new “It’s not you, it’s me.” Minus 9. He decides he needs her to meet his family so that he’ll know if he’s running or jogging or dropping out of the race. Desiree feels fireworks when she kisses Brooks. Eh, could’ve been all the red wine. Chris and Des depart for their date. On a yacht. She’s taking him to a deserted island. Insert Lost jokes here . Gratuitous swimsuits for the both of them so they can talk about their hot chemistry while he helps her work out some kinks. Now they’re dressed again and following the deserted island’s well-manicured path. She asks if the Chris she gets is the Chris his friends get and Chris says “100%.” And then he brings out a bottle and some paper and decides they’re going to write a poem together. Poems are so William Shakespeare. And by that I mean dead. Minus 4. They work their way toward the shore to toss in the bottle and Chris says “we’re gonna get a little wet.” Is he talking about the ocean, or their amazing chemistry? Hmmmm. He’s not falling for Desiree. He’s fallen. And he plans to tell her that night at dinner. Plus 9. Desiree makes a toast to Chris being such a wonderful and supportive man. She enjoys his “boyish” qualities. I can’t actually decide if that’s a compliment. He asks how big a family she wants and he says three to four kids. Chris is good with that. Plus 4 . Dinner is going great, conversation and wine is flowing, and then Chris starts sweating. Because he’s nervous. Way, crazy nervous. It’s silly and cute and also ridiculous. Annnnd, there’s another poem. Minus 4 . Just SAY IT ALREADY. Oh. There it is. Desiree doesn’t say it back, but she does kiss him a lot. She’s falling for him, though, so that’s something. And there’s more kissing. A lot more. Date #3 in Madeira is with Michael. It’s his first one-on-one date. Here’s hoping he doesn’t prosecute her. Or cross-examine her. There are no cocktails above the clouds or on deserted islands with Michael. They’re just going to explore the town. That’s already a less awesome date than her other two. Michael knows the color royal blue. Minus 4 . When Michael kisses Desiree, he feels a flood of emotions. Which I guess is what they’re calling it these days. They take a toboggan ride all the way down the island and she laughs while he makes almost no sounds at all. He’s very…stick in the mud. After seeing her on dates with Brooks and Chris, it’s clear that Michael is not the one. Desiree is looking for vulnerability from Michael, which is a side she has yet to see. He plans to lay it all out there for her. Dinner gets off to an awkward start with Michael thanking her for the day. It’s super weird. Minus 2 . He definitely shows his softer side when he talks about his mom and the sacrifices she made to raise him. His dad left when he was young and Michael has taken that experience and used it to learn what he’ll do better when he becomes a dad some day. Desiree’s ovaries start to flutter. Plus 7 . Michael’s last girlfriend cheated on him after moving to Miami to be with him and he was heartbroken. It took him a year to feel ready to move on. And move on he has. To Desiree. Plus 8 . Michael never stops talking. Ever. Ever ever. Minus 15 . Zak and Drew are going on a two-on-one date with Desiree. There’s a rose on their date, but neither of them will go home at the end of the night. They’re racing go karts for Desiree’s heart. And Desiree in a go kart makes Zak’s heart race. Plus 4 . After the three of them go around the track together, Desiree bows out and sends the guys out against each other. The winner gets a prize. Desiree, perhaps? Zak calls love like the rush of adrenaline when you’re speeding through a race. He wins. Easily. Plus 12. Poor Drew. Since Zak won the race, he gets alone time with Desiree first. He wants the rose so he can take Desiree back to his hometown. He recaps everything for her with drawings from day one to that moment. These are way better than Chris’ poems. Way. Plus 23 . After some kissing, he makes her laugh and holds back the words “I Love You” since she’s also on a date with Drew. Plus 12 . Drew’s glad that it’s finally his time with Desiree and considers this date and introducing her to his family a “statement of his future intentions.” He says his family was almost as excited that he would be meeting her as he was. So that’s not creepy at all. She tries to get him to loosen up a little and he giggles. It’s ridiculous. Minus 3 . He’s never had feelings like this before. With anyone. And he’s fallen in love with her. Zak maybe should’ve stepped up his game a little bit and dropped the L word. It’s not looking good for him right now. She gives the rose to Drew. And now it’s time for a rose ceremony. There’s another reminder that feelings have formed as Desiree heads into a chat with Chris Harrison. Since she’s done a good job of keeping the five relationships separate, there’s a good chance someone’s getting his heart broken tonight. Desiree says that Drew is the best looking guy she’s ever met and also kind. She smiles and giggles when Chris says “Brooks.” Since their date, she’s hit the finish line regarding Brooks. But Brooks doesn’t know that yet. She tears up when she thinks about being in love again. Chris asks if things are over and she says she’s still keeping an open mind. And also falling in love with Chris, too. She’s made her decision so they head into the rose ceremony. Drew is safe and will be introducing Desiree to his family next week on the hometown dates. She’ll also be meeting Brooks’ family. And Chris’ family. And Zak’s family. It’s back to Miami for Michael. Plus 10. Her relationships with the other guys have grown in ways that her relationship with Michael hasn’t. He’s heartbroken but he thinks the world of her. He was excited to introduce her to his family and says that no girl will be able to match up to her so he doesn’t know when he’ll ever be able to date again. Hey Michael? That sort of thing is why you’re going home, dude. He calls his mom from the limo ride to the airport. So that’s sweet? EPISODE TOTAL: +63 SEASON TOTAL: +389
The ladies hit the slopes tonight on The Real Housewives of Orange County . Things heat up between Gretchen and Heather as more than just snowballs are thrown between them. Was this all part of Vicki’s evil plan? We’ll find out now in our THG +/- recap! Lydia has a makeup artist come over to help her, uh, get dressed for the day. Minus 12. She’s taking all the girls to Canada to celebrate her Canadian-ness. Alexis brings her a Swarovski-covered Bible to take to Canada to protect her against the drama from the other ladies. Oh–charity event. That’s why the makeup artist is there. Tamra and Heather are shopping again and maybe Tamra didn’t pick the right dress . Tamra doesn’t like the cold. But she’s going to Canada anyway. Heather can only stay in Whistler for a short time because she has to get back to the Malibu Country set, but if she can go and support Lydia, she’s happy to do it. And maybe test Terry’s yes-man resolve in the process, right? Plus 4. Tamra and Heather discuss Lauri’s loose lips and how she told Gretchen that Vicki had a threesome. Which Gretchen proceeded to tell both Tamra and Heather on separate occasions. Minus 9 . Tamra thinks she should tell Vicki what’s being said, but Heather thinks it’s none of their business and they should just keep quiet. Yes, please listen to Heather. Gretchen is getting ready to start packing for their trip to Whistler. “Cold” for Orange County is about 60 degrees, and Gretchen seems to have a fur for every single degree. How will she ever decide which to take? Minus 9 . Alexis is packing and in addition to her ridiculous fur hat, she has a ring on her ski glove so the women won’t make fun of her ring anymore. Plus 12 Gretchen found a 1980s-esque ski suit that makes her look like a buttoned up Charlie’s Angel. Plus 10 for loving life. Vicki’s bringing the fun bus to Whistler just like she did to Mexico. And backless shirts. For below 0 temperatures. Minus 3. Lauri’s ready for the trip to Whistler. She grew up in the snow and scoffs at the other women wearing their Christian Louboutins. Heather’s going to be in Whistler for 6 hours. And then she’s headed to the set of her new show. Oh, Heather. Lydia’s excited that she planned this trip because this way she knows there won’t be any giant penises or strippers. But Vicki brought a fun bus, so there’s no telling what’s in her bag. In the bus on the ride to Whistler, Heather tells the girls that she’s not staying very long. She calls Gretchen out on the Malibu Country thing and then Alexis says they called her publicist, too. It’s Fox Five: Redux. Minus 10 Heather’s not buying that either of them got a phone call and to be honest, isn’t making herself look great. Finally, the girls are at their resort. They head to their rooms to freshen up before going to Lydia’s room to meet her uncle. She wants to protect him from the girls. Which is smart. Plus 4 . While Vicki and Lauri laugh together, Tamra fumes about what she knows. Seethes, even. Should she tell Vicki or should she not tell Vicki? That is her question. Minus 13. Gretchen asks Uncle Greg if he knows a lot about Canada. The women start laughing. Because that’s a dumb question. Dumb and hilarious. Poor Gretch. It came from a good place, right? The girls start introducing Uncle Greg and Vicki and it’s incredibly awkward. This will likely drive Vicki to drink more and make an ass of herself. We hope. Whew. Uncle Greg has a girlfriend. And with that information the room falls into an awkward silence that Heather breaks by announcing her departure. It’s time to ski! The girls meet their ski instructor and get fitted for boots and skis and Lydia’s “not a nerd.” She doesn’t ski. She snowboards. Ugh. Pretentious. Minus 9. Vicki tells Gretchen that she looks like a Q-tip and then makes fun of Gretchen’s outfit. Lighten up, Vicki. Minus 2. In the ski lift to the top of the mountain, Lydia says she’s so proud of everyone for getting along. Which means everyone’s about to get along no longer. In the other ski lift, Lauri asks Gretchen if she’s talked to Vicki yet. Gretchen drops the threesome tidbit in front of Alexis and then Lauri begins to recant her story. She never said threesome. Just that Vicki was with another woman and a man. Basically, this is Lauri’s way of putting this all on Gretchen. Minus 39. This should be fun. Before it can all fall to pieces at the top of the hill, they have to take selfies in the ski lift. Of course. Neither Alexis nor Tamra believe Vicki capable of having had a threesome. Gretchen believes it’s possible because Gretchen wants to believe it’s possible. Lydia says that no one skis anymore and wants to know what generation the other women were born in. Well, Lydia, at least three of them probably weren’t born in yours, so there’s that. Vicki and Tamra head to a bigger hill to ski together and after having some fun, Tamra tells Vicki what she’s heard from Lauri and Gretchen. Vicki’s ready to throw down with Lauri. Plus 4. Vicki asks Gretchen about the things Lauri said and eventually admits to being unfaithful to Donn. Plus 5 for honesty. She, however, refuses to admit that there’s even the slightest possibility that Gretchen never cheated on Jeff, despite Gretchen’s continued insistence that she didn’t cheat. Then Vicki throws Tamra under the bus, too. Where’s Lydia to mediate this conversation into a peaceful kumbaya? Oh, right. Snowboarding. Plus 8. Alexis skis over and wonders why the women can’t just take care of their conversations in private. Vicki says she has no desire to talk to someone who starts rumors but if she wanted to, she could let the skeletons out of Lauri’s closet. While Vicki starts to shout at Lauri and Lauri calmly defends herself, Lydia goes snowboarding right on by. Where’s Lydia’s mother with her peace-bringing ways? Vicki uninvites Lauri to dinner even though this is Lydia’s trip. Alexis, Lydia, and Tamra make snow angels (and boobs) to cope. Plus 2. Vicki leaves and Lauri and Gretchen are left standing. Lauri asserts that she never said that Vicki was having an actual threesome. Gretchen says that’s what it felt like Lauri was implying. Point to Gretchen here because that’s definitely what it seemed like Lauri was implying until just now when she’s being called on her tale-toting ways. Tamra thinks Gretchen and Lauri should both leave. Lydia blames Gretchen for starting drama on the trip. Really, Lydia? This group of women on a trip. What did you expect?
