Stare Off!

Bored? Tend to not blink much? Play the Samsung SMART TV Stare Battle.

The challenge: Stare at the new SMART TV for as long as possible without blinking. 

An eye-tracking device registers your eyelid movements on the webcam. During the game, players take on internet lip-synch sensation Keenan Cahill, who tries to distract players by using tactics such as calling them on Skype, showing YouTube videos, and showcasing other SMART TV features. 

Each week, the player with the longest stare time will be rewarded with a SMART TV prize package.

Yes.

Due to the fact that I'm still stuck in my Courtney Stodden fascination/repulsion, I offer you this: a video loop of that oh-so-perfect moment from yesterday's video post.  [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyMYNOnVFqs]

Oh yes, she did. I'm so afraid to know what's really going on here.

Happy Marthastewartday

Martha Stewart is 70 today. 70? Martha Stewart is 70?!? Does that seem weird to you, too? Man, time flies. Happy milestone, Martha. You kind of give me the creeps, but imma feature you in the birthday spotlight anyway, boo. 

Like my smooth Kanye stylings? Yeah, me neither. Promise I won't do it again. Wait, no I don't. I can't promise that. Sadly, it might happen again in the future. You've been warned.

Why, why, WHY?!?

This whole Doug Hutchinson/Courtney Stodden thing is KILLING me. Hutchinson: fool. Stodden: phony. End of story. 

Sure is fun/painful to watch, though. How long do you give it before they announce a reality show? 

Tah-raaain-wreck!!!!!

There's a new fashion documentary out. Cheers of joy! You know how much I adore docs, dahling.  The Tents chronicles the evolution of New York Fashion Week from it's meager beginnings to the current extravaganza known as Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. Feast on nterviews with designers like Donna Karan, Zac Posen, Betsey Johnson, Richie Rich and Carolina Herrera. We also hear from front row favorites such as Miss Guy, Nina Garcia, Robert Verdi and Carson Kressley, to name a few.

Fab Alert!

Feast your eyes on Don't Hug Me I'm Scared, a new shortie by This is It. It's so cute at the beginning, and then it all gets deliciously dark!  [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C_HReR_McQ]

Green is not a creative color. Rats. That's been my top color lately, too. Sigh.

Happy YSLday

It's Yves Saint Laurent's 75th birthday. You are missed.

Thanks for uttering one of the finest statements ever:

"We must never confuse elegance with snobbery."

Well said, sir.

It's Barry Wayne Van Dyke's 60th birthday! Yaaaaay, Barry!!!

In the spirit of adhering to this post's title, let's all say it aloud together now: Who the hell is he?!? (cue canned laughter)

He's Dick Van Dyke's son. I checked out his IMDb page. Not much; bit parts... appearances on The Dukes of Hazzard, The Love Boat and Mork and Mindy ---- haaaay!  Something did jump off the page, though: he's married to Mary Carey

WTF?!? Sooooo... somebody has a penchant for porn stars! Scandal!

You know daddy Dick (I know, I know... stop) is mortified. Orrrr, perhaps he's in on the action, too. Get it, Dick! Chim-chim-cheroo, old boy! Freak ON, sir.   

Checked his Wiki page. Says he's been married to Mary since 1974. Porn Mary was born in 1980. D'oh! 

My apologies to Mary Carey Van Dyke.

Quote of the Day

   

According to the police report, peanut butter and jelly was smeared on most of the floors, furniture and more. Even the man's dog was covered in peanut butter and jelly, according to the report.

In addition, someone threw up in the bed of the man's daughter, according to the report.

Um... WTF?!?

Last night, I dined at The County Line BBQ, and this fancy little old-timey ad was on the wall directly to my left. 

WTF?!? I need this for my kitchen! 

Creep OUT! Smells good, daddy. Ouch.

Super Ella Bros!

My nephew, Brennan Gilpatrick, has a penchant for filmmaking. Here's his latest: Super Ella Bros., featuring his sister/my niece, the fabulous Ella.

Here are some of my favorite works by Brennan. Both feature several members of my Indiana fam. Haaaay, Indy fam! 

First, The Dinner Guest, a zombie-lover's delight! Fans of my awesome brother, Zach, will enjoy his cameo at the 09:05 mark.

This one is lovely: The Crescendo Kid, winner of the 2010 Indy Teen Film Festival. You might recognize the piano teacher; it's my high-collar-ruffle-stripe-blouse-loving sister, Kelly.

The family that acts together, stays together. Keep up the fabulousness, Brennan. Bright future!
