On How To Be A Gentleman.

Okay, so Tom Ford has this new etiquette book out called Five Easy Lessons On How To Be A Gentleman.

I am a lady and therefore some of these don't apply to me, but I agree with most of what Ford is saying (perhaps because I am projecting my Twilight-esque fantasy of what men should be?).

Anyway, Buzzfeed did a roundup of some of the better quotes from the book and presented them with photos of pugs! Enjoy my favorite.

Daniel Craig Dresses In Drag And Is Now My Hero

James Bond actor Daniel Craig is known for his badass persona on screen; escaping perilous situations, killing off villains, scaling walls with his bare hands… You know, that kinda thing! But he’s taking on a new role that requires him to wear a long blond wig, patterned dress, black tights, stiletto heels, and pearl earrings.

The 43-year-old stars in a 2-minute short film directed by Sam Taylor-Wood and narrated by Dame Judi Dench. It’s part of a campaign to raise awareness for International Women’s Day, which is this Tuesday, March 8th.

The film shows the 007 actor in a suit while Dench recites facts about inequalities between men and women that still exist in our society. “We’re equals, aren’t we 007?” Dench asks as Craig appears onscreen. “Yet is is 2011 and a man is still likely to earn more money than a woman, even one doing the same job.”

The narration continues, with Craig remaining completely silent. An important move for this video, featuring a woman with a voice and a man being forced to listen. “As a man, you’re less likely to be judged for promiscuous behavior, which is just as well frankly. And hardly any chance of falling victim to sexual assault.” Then Dench adds, “For someone with such a fondness for women, I wonder if you’ve ever considered what it might be like to be one?”

At this question we watch as Craig disappears off camera, then reappears in full on drag. As Craig listens to more facts about what it’s like to be a woman and live on unequal ground, he takes off the wig and earrings and looks straight into the camera for the final question posed to him. “So, are we equals?” Dench asks. “Until the answer is yes, we must never stop asking.”

As a woman this video feels very powerful, and I hope you all will pass it around to spread awareness for this important day and cause! You can also visit the WeAreEquals website for more information.

Watch the video below! What do you think? Personally, I've seen better looking drag queens but nonetheless, cool of him :)

The Post Where I Focus On Charlie Sheen.

I haven't been paying close attention to Charlie Sheen because, well, he's hard to keep up with. But I did hold a candle for him in Major League (I was like, 8-years-old and he wore glasses and was a bad boy, lay off!), and this morning when I turned on the news ABC showed a clip from their interview with the drug/sex/spiky hair addict.

What drew me in were his two girlfriends, whom he refers to as his "goddesses" and alleges that they are "international sensations"... LOL. One of them is a porn star and the other has been referred to as a "nanny," but what the interview essentially showed was that these are two young babes mooching off of Sheen. Poor Sheen.

I asked my mom if she had seen any of the interviews and she said, "I can't watch him, he makes me sick." then added, "And he should know, anyone is replaceable."

But you know what's not replaceable? Cats photoshopped with crazy Sheen quotes! Enjoy.

Ke$ha’s New Video… Wow

I don't even... I'm not sure what to do here, since Ke$ha's new video for her song "Blow" is so out of control that it's difficult to articulately respond to. I will say that I gaped in shock/horror/laughter at my screen and covered my mouth several times with my hand.

Let's bullet point this shit:

  • James Van Der Beek rips a bra out of his shirt
  • Ke$ha's face is so hideous that I had to turn away
  • James gives "sex eyes" while pelvic thrusting
  • Ke$ha has "sexy" hair flips while grinding into a unicorn
  • There are unicorns in suits, one that Ke$ha makes out with
  • Ke$ha calls him "James Van Der Douche" lol
  • The song's title perfectly describes my feelings about the song
  • Rainbow death sequence
  • LOL

‘The King’s Speech’ Has A Lot In Common With Gay Porn.

I'm sorry, but this headline and subsequent photo of King's Speech star Geoffrey Rush made me LOL.

Apparently, the set Rush used as his "office" in the film was also a location for a gay porn called Snookered. Which, if I had to guess, involves a tranny dressed as Snooki who is really great at getting/giving some.

As the article reveals though, the gay porn is actually about two men performing "hardcore gay sex acts around a snooker table."

The discovery was made because, according to the article, "Images from both Snookered and The King's Speech have been posted on website QueerClick.com - and it appears the backgrounds in the films are identical."

LOL.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

My blog is slowly but surely turning into a shrine to all things Dennis.

For Valentine's Day, I got the following email subject line in my inbox, "Happy Valentines Day: Baby you're a firecrotch."

Now, some people might find this offensive. People like, say, me for example, who happen to have red hair and may have been called such a hurtful name early on in our childhood.

Nevertheless I tuned in and turned the volume on HIGH. Then, as is always the case, I LOL'd all over the damn place.

Enjoy Dennis' rendition of Katy Perry's "Firework," and also please note the subtle differences...

Keanu Reeves As A Robot.

The special effects in Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey are totally underrated, and Keanu Reeves as a robot is the only way to truly start the weekend.

Katie Couric And Bryant Gumbel Don’t Know What The Internet Is.

Behold, a clip from the Today Show circa 1994 in which Bryant Gumbel and Katie Couric try to understand what the Internet is, how to pronounce that pesky @ symbol, and why anyone would possibly want to communicate over a computer.

Enjoy.
