During a recent Sex and the City marathon, I watched an episode where Carrie tried to stop smoking so that she could date this guy Aiden. He told her that he didn’t date women who smoked, so she convinced herself that she could stop any time she wanted and tried to kick the habit for him. However, her first thought was that he should just accept her for who she was, and if he couldn’t, then he could kick rocks. At the end of the episode, we see Carrie flushing her last cigarettes down the toilet saying that ultimately, she was quitting for herself…not for a man… MadameNoire
Wrathschild (aka Simon Curtis and Ro “Wolfy” Danishei) are back with their new video for “Angeles,” a psychedelic ode to the city they couldn’t stop loving if they tried.
It will be an especially merry Christmas for Matthew Richenthal and Katherine Sage this year, very reliable sources confirm to THG exclusively, as the East Grand Rapids couple is expecting its first child. The baby, whose gender will be discovered via Ultrasound in a few weeks, will be the first of its kind for Mr. Richenthal and Dr. Sage. He (or “SHE!” Sage says) is due on December 24. “I’m excited,” Richenthal said between bites of a muffin, pointing to his wife and adding: “Pretty soon, Hot Mama will be more than just a store at the mall where confused teenagers go to shop and try to act all cool and different and retro and stuff.” “I hope he or she gets my sense of humor,” Sage said, eyes fully rolled. Despite being pressed for comment, very excited grandmother-to-be Maddy Richenthal remained mum on the issue, while her husband was heard muttering something about how he’ll soon need a “second ice cream fridge” and Joe Sage was caught wondering how early one can send Tom Izzo video of one’s grandchild. “I knew it,” gushed eventual grandmother Debra Sage. “I just knew it. I really did. I knew it.” Sadie Barkley RichenSage, meanwhile, is preparing for the upcoming addition by wondering why the heck the family isn’t at the beach. Asked for her thoughts on the pregnancy thus far, Sadie thought editors said the word car and ran for the door. The Michigan residents plan to reveal the gender to loved ones as soon as news is in. Both vow to love little Draymond or Jennifer Love the boy or girl either way, however. At press time, the couple was still trying to think of a creative way to announce the pending child to friends and family members. “It’s tough,” Sage said. “But we’ll come up with something.” Top 10 Baby Boy Names of 2013 10.

July marks the 20th anniversary of the release of Forrest Gump. The Tom Hanks film that’s come to be regarded as a modern classic was one of the biggest box office smashes of the 1990s and went on to win six Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Catchphrases such as, “Stupid is as stupid does,” and, “Life is like a box of chocolates,” are among the most oft-quoted lines in the history of cinema. While A-listers such as Tom Hanks and Sally Field remain very much in the public eye, we figured this milestone anniversary of the beloved film would be a good time to check in on what all of the principal players have been up to in the two decades since Forrest Gump first hit theaters: Forrest Gump Cast Photos 1. Tom Hanks Hanks has gone on to maintain his title as one of the most beloved and bankable stars in Hollywood. He’s now racked up an astonishing 5 Oscar nominations with 2 wins. Some of the film’s marquee names have gone on to reign supreme amongst critics and audiences alike (both Hanks and Fields have Oscars in the years since), while others quickly faded into obscurity (Remember Haley Joel Osment ?) But whatever turns their careers took in the years that followed, we’re sure all the cast crew of Gump regard the film as the most pleasant unexpected surprise of their careers. A cherry cordial amidst almond nougats, if you will.
Another week, another set of dates for Andi Dorfman and her bachelors. This week will take them to Brussels where they’ll spend some time in the ruins of a castle. Will the date signal ruin for one man’s relationship with Andi? The Bachelorette spoilers might help you out with that answer, but feel free to keep reading if that’s more your style. Watch The Bachelorette Season 10 Episode 7 Online Nick starts the week in Belgium by acting like a giant douche when the guys arrive at their hotel and he tells them all, and Chris Harrison, that he’s “tired of these man chats” and says in a camera interview that he’s the one who will end up with Andi and he can’t imagine her choosing anyone else. He gets a comeuppance when Marcus gets the first one on one date card and someone drops the F word. On their date, Marcus and Andi walk around Brussels, sampling chocolates and mussels and seeing the city. Over lunch, he tells her that earlier when he thought about leaving, it was because he was scared of how he felt about her. Marcus is in love with Andi and Andi thinks he’s so romantic . Over dinner, he explains that his father walked out when he was a child and his relationship with his mother was “dysfunctional.” They’ve since worked out their issues, and Andi’s excited about the possibility of meeting his family. Once Marcus returns to the hotel, Nick takes his agitation to the lobby where he pretends to be Andi’s husband so he can get her room number (in a segment that totally was not at all set up by producers. Probably.). Then he knocks on her door and the two go stroll around town making out against lamp posts. Andi calls her relationship with Nick “passionate.” The next day is her date with Josh. She says, at least 20 times, that she really, really needs Josh to open up about how he’s feeling and share his emotions with her and be vulnerable with her. And she can’t compare the relationships, but she really needs to know how he’s feeling. Hey, did you know that Andi Dorfman REALLY needs to know how Josh Murray is feeling?? LIKE. SHE REALLY NEEDS TO KNOW. Josh says that it’s tough because he does have feelings for her, but it’s uncomfortable being vulnerable knowing she’s dating so many other guys. Fair point, Josh. But Andi really needs to know how you’re feeling. When the group date card comes to the hotel, Nick is quick to tell the other guys that he’s just happy to know that there will never, ever be another group date. At that same time, Josh is finally opening up to Andi and telling her that he’s falling in love with her. Oh thank god. Maybe now she’ll stop repeating herself. Or the producers will stop repeating her. On the group date, Andi makes the guys pedal her across the Belgian countryside on a rail bike before taking them to a monastery where there can be no kissing and flirting because, hello, MONASTERY. Where the men who live there are living celibate lives. Then they see the date rose on the table and instantly get their game faces on. Farmer Chris from Iowa gets time with her first and she takes him to a pottery studio just outside the monastery walls. While reenacting Ghost they flirt and kiss. Dirt does look good on him. The guys learn that the one who gets the rose will get a mini one on one with Andi while the other three will return to the hotel. Brian is thrown totally off his game while Nick just uses the opportunity to up his by freaking Brian out. After Brian tells Andi that he’s falling in love with her, Nick gets his turn with Andi and says that he knows she’s falling in love with him and she’s totally not bothered by that at all. Or if she is, she keeps her lawyer face on so no one can read her. Or not. She gives Nick the group date rose which means he’s getting a hometown date next week. At the hotel the guys begin talking about Nick and how he’s definitely not there for all the right reasons and seems to be playing a big game. They can’t determine what his goal is, but they don’t think it’s Andi. They all predict that Nick will make it to the final two and leave her standing there. He finally returns from his date and Brian, Marcus, and Chris lay into him about the way he acts and the things he says. At the end of the day, Nick says he’s not there for anyone but Andi and can’t really worry about what the other guys think of him. Absolutely no one is believing him at this point, audience included. During the cocktail party, Chris tells Andi how much he loves his hometown and how much he wants to share that town with her. Dylan and Brian each take time to talk to her, but Brian’s time is cut short when Nick, who HAS a rose, interrupts them like a cocky jerk. He swears it’s just different with him and Andi, no matter what the other guys might feel for her. Just before the rose ceremony, Chris steals her one final time just to kiss her. SWOON! Before handing out the night’s three other roses, Andi says that the guys standing in front of her make her think that love is real. She’s only giving roses to the guys with whom she definitely sees potential. Those three guys are: Josh, Marcus, and Chris . And Nick , but I’m trying to pretend he doesn’t exist. Brian and Dylan are sad to be leaving, and Andi cries as she says goodbye. Ultimately, she just didn’t see a potential future with them. Hometown dates are next week! We’re one week closer to learning who’ll win Andi Dorfman’s heart!
In a bizarre interview published last week, Lana Del Rey glamorized premature death , and hinted that she’d like to emulate her idols Amy Winehouse and Kurt Cobain by not living to see 30. Naturally, a lot of people took offense to this mind-blowingly foolish statement, and one of the critics of Lana’s comments knows all too well about the pain that can be caused by one person’s reckless disregard for their own health and well-being. Frances Cobain lost her father – legendary Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain – when she was just a year old. Lana Del Rey: I Wish I Was Dead! The young artist was understandably upset by Lana’s comments and has made her feelings clear on Twitter: “@LanaDelRey the death of young musicians isn’t something to romanticize,” Cobain tweeted. “I’ll never know my father because he died young & it becomes a desirable feat because people like you think it’s ‘cool.'” “Well it’s not,” Cobain continued. “Embrace life, because you only get one life. The ppl you mentioned wasted that life.” Wow. Surprisingly insightful comments from 21-year-old – particularly one partially raised by Cobain’s notoriously troubled widow, Courtney Love. Recently, a new note found at the scene of Cobain’s death seemed to suggest that the marriage between the two singers was a deeply hostile one. Shortly thereafter, Love’s father suggested she was involved in Cobain’s death . Needless, to say it remains an ugly situation more than 20 years after Cobain’s death, so it’s plain to see why Frances might object to someone romanticizing her troubled family. It should be noted, however, that Lana has accused The Guardian of misquoting her in the controversial interview in question. 7 Iconic Photos of Kurt Cobain 1.

USA! USA! US… hey, wait a second. What?!? According to NBC News, an American exchange student sparked an “extraordinary rescue mission” last week when his leg got stuck inside a giant vagina sculpture in Tuebingen, Germany. “It was a dare,” fire department squad leader Markus Mozer explained to NBC . “The young man had tried to pose for an unusual photo and climbed into the artwork.” And, come on, fellas. We all know how complicated it can be once you’re inside there. It took a total of 22 rescue workers (seriously!!!), along with special equipment, to wedge the 20-year old out after about a half hour. The six-foot replica of female genitalia was put in place 13 years ago outside the microbiology and virology department of the city’s university clinic. It’s worth nearly $200,000. This story, however, is priceless. Strange But True News Hall of Fame 1. Drunk Man Tries to Urinate Out of Cop Car Window Devin Langford, a drunk man in custody, tried to urinate out of the rear passenger side window of a moving police car because he was drunk. It did not go as planned.

My name is Emily and I really hope you enjoy watching my Bieber experience video. I just wanted to say that I have been a belieber ever since 2009 and ever since 2011, whenever Justin would come to my city (Toronto) I would go down and try to find him. I have never had luck in meeting him at all. I was always either at the wrong place, there at the wrong time or he wasn’t even in the city . I met Justin on December 29th 2013 which was over the winter holidays and I remember telling one of my teachers that when we get back, I would have met Justin. If you want to meet Justin, you have to go out there and make it happen. -Emily (@iObeyJBieber) The rest is here: My name is Emily and I really hope you enjoy watching my Bieber…
