Did you know… That today is National Pancake Day? In celebration, IHOP is giving away free pancakes. And now I can honestly say that I wouldn’t ever eat at IHOP again if they were giving food away for free. (SeriousEats)

Jennifer Love Hewitt dressed up as Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany’s for her 30th birthday, officially ruining Breakfast at Tiffany’s for me. (WIMB)

One of our wonderful conservative Republican politicians proves that he’e still not above wishing cancer on Ruth Bader Ginsberg. (QuizLaw)

The Drunken Stepfather guy objects to the objectification of Freida Pinto. Is it me or is he maybe starting to grow a soul? (DrunkenStepfather)

Because anti-gay groups have to take the fun out of fucking everything, now they’re all up in Sean Penn’s shit. (Celebitchy)

Does Lily Allen really need over 100 hours of Photoshop? Maybe it’s just me, but I think she’s kinda cute how she is. (Agent Bedhead)

Things I’d rather see than Beyonce’s nipple: A car cigarette lighter hurtling towards my eyeball. (Yeeeah!)

I love Photoshop humor so much I want to take it behind the middle school and get it pregnant. (Joke falls flat.) Anyway. This time MightyGodKing repurposes old Star Trek book covers. (MightyGodKing)

Mickey Rourke is getting a new dog and naming it Oscar. He’s literally killing two chihuahuas with one stone! (The Blemish)

Am I the only one who actually liked the new Tropicana packaging? Well regardless, they’re changing it back. Pussies. (YBNBY)

Any Apples in Stereo fans out there? Robert Schneider (who once said “excuse me” to me one time, true story) debuted some new material including his new childrens’ project on ABC News over the weekend. (YouAin’tNoPicasso)

Here are seven celebrity careers which were launched by accident. What, no Paris Hilton? Oh, because it didn’t say “celebrity” “careers.” (Cracked)

I was out of town this past weekend, so I totally missed this… But Stains the Australian Shepherd won Entertainer of the Year! Thanks, admin!

Here are seven celebrity careers which were launched by accident. What, no Paris Hilton? Oh, because it didn't say "celebrity" "careers."

Or "on purpose".

More like Holly Gothuddinglyderivative

When I saw Stains on The Soup last weekend, Stacey was the first person I thought of. I think this means I need a Pajiba sabbatical.

Happy Pancake Day everyone. They got holidays for everything.

They tried to make me go to rehab and I said no, no, no.

Posted by: admin at February 24, 2009 1:38 PM

By the way, that picture makes me crave chocolate chip pancakes from Sam's Pancake House in North Wildwood, so now I kind of hate you for that.

Posted by: Nicole at February 24, 2009 1:38 PM

It's too bad that I know I can't convince the Main Squeeze that in honor of National Pancake Day, we should have pancakes for dinner.

Mmmm. Pancakes.

*Jennifer Love Hewitt dressed up as Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's* Or maybe "Holly Gofuckyourself"

Posted by: Odnon at February 24, 2009 1:52 PM

Does Lily Allen really need over 100 hours of Photoshop? Maybe it's just me, but I think she's kinda cute how she is.

It was because of the one black panther in a cage they turned into 2 black panthers not in cages...

Posted by: Sabrina at February 24, 2009 2:09 PM

What'd Maison Crepe Internationale do to you?

And when did Hewitt become younger than me? That doesn't sound right. Did I miss something?

Posted by: Jay at February 24, 2009 2:10 PM

And after the pancakes we can just drive up to the Jersey Freeze in Freehold. Their milkshakes, oh fuck yes. What? It's only two hours up the coast. I've done much more than that for ice cream............

Posted by: slower lower at February 24, 2009 2:15 PM

JLH looks like a dressed-up 12 year-old. Hello? You're not 12 anymore.

My hubby makes lovely apple pancakes some Sunday mornings.

Posted by: Cindy at February 24, 2009 2:23 PM

Oooooh, there's an IHOP near a G stop! I'm starting the prayers that I stop being sick so I can go get me some free pancakes riiiight.... NOW.

Posted by: Sabrina at February 24, 2009 2:43 PM

I am confused: you hate JLH because...she was being goofy on her birthday? Or because she was emulating a movie she apparently likes, even though it wasn't a remake or really anything remotely commercial? So basically you hate her for having fun?

I just don't get it.

And maybe you could read the links you put up a bit better re: the Lily Allen thing? Although I would agree she looks just fine without Photoshop.

On a more positive note, YAY FOR STAINS!!!!

Posted by: Vermillion at February 24, 2009 2:48 PM

If you follow the links to this more descriptive article about that Lily Allen cover, it sounds like the 100 hours of post production photoshop went into combining the image of Lily Allen posing with two images of one panther. The panther was apparently in a cage in the original photo too.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/organgrinder/2009/feb/24/how-lily-allen-q-cover-was-shot

Lily Allen IS too cute for 100 hours of photoshop on her image alone

Posted by: sillymonster at February 24, 2009 2:58 PM

Goddammit Stace, don't bait me with your passive aggressive Lily Allen links! You know perfectly well that I irrationally adore her. I want to keep her in my pocket, she's so fucking cute.

Anyway, I didn't clicky on the linky, because if anybody in that joint is bashing my beloved Lily then I don't wanna read it (that's the interwebs version of stickin' my fingers in my ears and going LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU). Also, clicking seemed like kind of a lot of work. Plus also, there's no way in hell Lily Allen could require 100 hours of Photoshop. She spends at least 45% of her time running around in outfits like little blue Agent Provocateur sailor suits or hiking her dress up to her chin to show off her genetic anomalies. There ain't no Photoshop on paparazzi snaps, and she looks just fine.

I do think Stacey mighta been kidding.

We're having pancakes tonight. It's actually a centuries old tradition that comes from using up all of your eggs, butter and milk because you couldn't eat them during Lent (which starts tomorrow). As children we looked forward to it almost like Christmas. It was a huge deal to have lovely slurpy pancakes for dinner. I've kept it up as an adult despite not observing Lent because it's just so yummy.

Posted by: PaddyDog at February 24, 2009 3:51 PM

Unfortunately, due to the difficult economic times, you will have no maple syrup for your pancakes. The Government of Canada has close the border to the trade of said syrup as it will be the only thing left for Canadians to eat for the rest of the year.

I hope you enjoy your pancakes as, tommorrow, cogress is debating a bill that will see the pancake replaced with the inferior, but more economically prudent, flapjack.

May God have mercy on us all.

Posted by: admin at February 24, 2009 4:15 PM

I think it was the picture of JLH holding the Starbucks and a bagel that bugged me. The costume looked frumpy. It's more that it's bad dressup than anything - like a bad Wal Mart Hallowe'en costume.

Posted by: Odnon at February 24, 2009 4:17 PM

It's not national pancake day you heathens, its 'Shrove Tuesday' the penultimate day before Lent starts, the idea is that you indulge today on pancakes covered in sugar, fruit sauces, chocolate, cream, lemon juice, then from thursday you give something up, something indulgent, all that crap you had on your pancakes for example. This lasts forty days until Easter when you stuff yourself silly on Easter Eggs to celebrate the horrible torture and murder of some peaceful dude who might have been a little loopie, or demi deity, but never hurt anyone just talked about being nice to one another.
And getting stoned with Witches, i think? Which i can dig, the wiccans i know have THE BEST weed.

Posted by: Nadine at February 24, 2009 4:22 PM

Also known as Shrove Tuesday. Eat up, Lent starts tomorrow.

Posted by: grumpyoldman at February 24, 2009 4:22 PM

I don't need to see JLH doing any more versions of Audrey Hepburn's characters. She already tried (and failed) in the biopic. Add Gabriel Macht doing an awful parody of William Holden, and you had a grade A, garbage Lifetime flick.

Posted by: Brie at February 24, 2009 4:22 PM

And henceforward pancakes will be known as "Freedom Cakes".

Posted by: Odnon at February 24, 2009 4:23 PM

As a veteran IHOP waitress, I can tell you that not all IHOPS are gross, and that they do indeed have decent pancakes.

Drunken Stepfather guy surprised me with that post.

I love Stains.

And finally, I totally dug the new Tropicana packaging! Sad to see it gone so soon.

Dude, I know. Now quit interferin' with our faux feudin'!

Posted by: Sarina at February 24, 2009 4:32 PM

My mom and her friends dressed up as various incarnations of Holly Golightly for their friend's birthday.

They're 65.

Now, I'm off to the diner for some REAL pancakes. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm pancakes.

Oh, and no links about how we might be getting medical marijuana here in NJ?

... now how do I get me some glaucoma?

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at February 24, 2009 4:39 PM

Oops. Sorry. I was trying to make it funnier.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at February 24, 2009 4:40 PM

Am I alone in thinking J Lo Hewitt is pretty rough for a 30 year old? I'm amazed someone can go from cute and twinkly on "Party of Job" to dumpy and maternal look of "Ghost of Careers Past" (see Cameron Manheim). What happened to her 25 and single gal days? Her 20s sure weren't pretty.

Cali is trying to legalize and tax Mary Jane. Estimates are ~$1 billioin for the state economy. not looking so silly now eh?!

DC is getting the vote!! Woohoo. Now I don't have to put my taxes is an Escrow account.

Posted by: amanda47 at February 24, 2009 5:17 PM

Yeah ... I totally have all those Star Trek books ...

Posted by: stipe42 at February 24, 2009 5:31 PM

Oh, I wasn't really addressing you directly, Sarina.

But I've been eating very little starch and just lighter in general until tomorrow when I go on vacation. This is "Mardi I've lost weight in the past two weeks"! Don't go tryin' to derail me just because you wanna suffer, cause I wanted to finish getting the holiday bloat off, and starch and salt go right to my face, and I don't want no puffy face vacation photos! I'm eating VEGETABLES tonight! No pancakes!

The strawberry and boysenberry syrups were always my favorite from the IHOP arsenal.

Posted by: Jay at February 24, 2009 5:50 PM

When I saw the Jennifer Love Dumbwitt post, my first thought was, "Wait, she's younger than me, albeit only by 5 months or so?" and the second thought was "Wow, she looks real stumpy."

It's one thing to emulate your idol and it's a whole different thing to look good doing so. What makes the cut is this thing called sense to know what works on one's body and not. That clearly not the only thing lacking here but, just saying.

Posted by: yocean at February 24, 2009 7:19 PM

Jeebus, Amanda, how old are *you*? Can't be older than 25 yourself to say something like that. Honestly.

I'm okay with calling celebrities out for being stupid, but not for being human. She looks damn for 30. I just turned 30 and I don't look that hot.

Whatever. .

Posted by: Codger at February 24, 2009 7:29 PM

I think JLH is pretty cute. I don't understand what's wrong with dressing up, but then, I'm pretty weird and I don't need an excuse like a birthday to play dress up.

Posted by: brenia at February 24, 2009 8:14 PM

You can have mine.

Posted by: bucdaddy at February 25, 2009 12:34 AM

Stace was obviously kidding!

As was I...

Posted by: agent bedhead at February 25, 2009 1:21 AM

I'm with codger up there. JLoHew looks smoking hot. We're both 30 and while I'm a damn fine looking woman, she puts me to shame. What I wouldn't give for that hair, skin, smile, and rack. And fuck it, for your birthday you get to do whatever you want. I chose to go to a bar and have people buy me shots for my 30th. If I could have dressed up like HG, I might have done that instead. Back up off.

"The Drunken Stepfather guy objects to the objectification of Freida Pinto. Is it me or is he maybe starting to grow a soul?"

Nah, he's just another dude with a Madonna/whore complex.

I didn't know about the Lent/pancakes tradition. I will, of course, be representing today with my ashes, as I hope you are Paddydog and Nadine.
