I bet he challenged her to a Throwdown




So January Jones (Betty Draper on Mad Men) might be my favorite classy trainwreck in the history of celebrities. Yes, I said classy trainwreck. She’s been out cavorting with Jeremy Piven (whom I adore, I approve) and Adrian Brody. She was recently seen doing the most fashionable Walk of Shame I’ve seen in years. And she still looks good doing all of it.

This time, however, her controversy is hilariously awful. Emphasis on hilarious.
Jones crashed her car into THREE other parked cars, and proceeded to call Bobby Flay to save the day. Yes, Bobby Flay. Yes, “wait, what?” is a legitimate response here.

Don't Call My Name, Alejandro


Or, Go Get A Haircut, Fernando: My "Alejandro" Video Review

When I first heard Lady Gaga’s great anthem of denying herself sexy Spaniards, I expected a video that was “hot like Mexico, rejoice!” I wanted sweaty men in sunshine looking gloriously beautiful. But Lady Gaga is never one to give you what you expect, and the video for “Alejandro” doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. A nearly nine minute epic collaboration with photographer Steven Klein, the video was hyped up and pushed back almost as much as an Apple product. And now it’s here, and boy am I joyfully baffled.

Lady Gaga seems to have trapped herself in a more fabulous version of Nazi Germany, complete with awkward bowl cuts and no Latinos whatsoever.
