Gwyneth Paltrow ‘humiliated’ on going commando at film premiere

Gwyneth Paltrow admits that the racy gown she wore for this week’s “Iron Man 3” red carpet was “humiliating” after she realized that her bottom was “hanging out” of her dress and she needed some grooming before putting it on.


“Well, let's just say everyone went scrambling for a razor…So I went from being the ‘most beautiful’ to the most humiliated. In one day."
The comedian then pushed the actress to explain why she needed the maintenance: "Oy, I really have some questions now. You certainly don't take care of yourself. I mean it was just the side of your leg. What is going on with you?"
Paltrow replied, "I work a 70's vibe. You know what I mean?"


Oh.. we know what you mean.. As Morris Day said in the silver screen classic "The Adventures of Ford Fairlane"... You got to shave before you leave the house in a dress like that... and I don't mean ya legs!

Tom Brokaw declined his invitation to this year's White House Correspondents’ Dinner because of Lindsay Lohan.
“Somewhere along the line, it began to freewheel out of control," the renowned anchorman told Politico about the celeb-filled soiree, "and the breaking point for me was Lindsay Lohan.”

The trouble-making actress was invited as a guest of Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren at the 2012 dinner. Page Six’s Cindy Adams recalled how Lohan disappeared a few times to the bathroom for a cigarette and tipped a bathroom attendant a crumpled $100 and said, “You’re too old to be doing this.”

'Fundawear' offers long-distance foreplay

By Jarrett Bellini and Nick Scott, CNN updated 12:59 PM EDT, Fri April 26, 2013 | Filed under: Innovations

(CNN) -- Producer's note: CNN Ideas has covered everything from mapping the human brain to 4-D printing. We've even looked at cool robots because, well, they're cool robots.

But when we stumbled on Durex's Fundawear -- a long-distance, app-controlled underwear stimulator -- we simply had to investigate. The developers in Australia kindly sat down with us on Skype to explain their "future of foreplay."

Would you use this in your relationship?

And of course, while we're here..

From our.. "I'm gonna sit right here until I die" correspondant...

Strained shoulder? Mmm Hmmm...

 Here's a recap from "Jerry Guy" addressing the more hilarious aspect.. i.e. why the hell did Phil keep playin? I guess the show must go on, right? Kinda like that time Allred fell off the set at WHDH. I wanted to stop the show and come help her, but I was laughing too hard.


None of Bobby’s Furthur band mates stopped playing while this was all going down. The group’s other guitarist, John Kadlecik, weighed in on the situation via Facebook…

“1st reaction: holy shit, man down!
Then, I see several crew racing to help, going to be by his side faster than I can put my guitar down…
Next thought: what is Phil going to do? He’s playing on… Bobby had help at this point, so the next person in need of support was Phil…
Pretty f*d up moment… but Bobby wanted to finish the show!
Sometimes the rock n roll life is not all rainbows & fairy dust…”

Ya Think?

Boston Marathon bombing survivor Jeff Bauman on suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev: ‘He’s dead, and I’m still here’

Boston Marathon bombing survivor Jeff Bauman joined Dennis & Callahan on Friday morning to talk about his harrowing experience and the aftermath.
Bauman, who lost both his legs and suffered hearing damage when the first bomb exploded near the finish line while he was waiting for his girlfriend to run by, said the recovery process is “going fast, but it hurts every day.”
Bauman is credited with having helped investigators by identifying one of the suspects shortly after the attack, despite his condition. The 27-year-old Costco employee described what he saw and helped a sketch artist put together a drawing of Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
“I was still conscious when I was being transported from the blast site to the hospital,” Bauman said. “The whole time when I was in the hospital I was giving descriptions of the guy — the first guy, the guy with the hat and the glasses, the Aviators, and the 5 o’clock shadow [Tamerlan Tsarnaev]. I was just real adamant about it. When I did come through out of the first operation, I guess, the FBI was all around my room.”


If you havent seen the pics of this dude on the scene, I wont show them to you know.. bc if you wanted to see them you could have by now. Let's just say I saw the raw video, and had to do a double take b/c I didnt comprehend what I was looking at it. I know it's already bordering on over saturation, but if there's such a thing as Boston Strong. .it's this guy.

And in other marathon news.. this is why Print journalism still matters.

David Bowie releases list of 42 random and obtuse words that he says describe his writing process

by Marah Eakin April 26, 2013

David Bowie has been in self-imposed media lockdown in recent months, even around the release of his newish album, The Next Day. He’s been in a couple of music videos, but he hasn’t given any interviews, nor said much of anything publicly. That all changed this week when The Rumpus writer Rick Moody asked Bowie to illustrate his “work flow diagram” for the record, prompting Bowie to turn in a list of 42 separate, obtuse words that supposedly influenced the new record—words like “effigies,” “osmosis,” “chthonic,” and “funereal.” The full list is below.
Moody then turned Bowie’s 42 words into a 12,000-word piece of his own that’s well worth a read. Check it out at The Rumpus.

For this week’s Full Show Friday we present Between The Teeth, a concert film featuring former Talking Heads front man David Byrne’s October 31st, 1992 performance at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, New Jersey. The film is long out-of-print and has never been issued on DVD.

Byrne and his band work through solo gems as well as a batch of Talking Heads classics including (Nothing But) Flowers, Life During Wartime and Road To Nowhere. David was in the middle of his Uh Oh tour which featured a full-band with a complete brass section. Take a look…
