Still?!

kanye_0915.jpg

Yeah, this is still pretty much all that’s in the news this morning. Kanye West went on the premiere of the new “Jay Leno Show” to act like a repentant sad sack for his VMA outburst. If you ask me, Humble Kanye is really just no fun though. (Webster’s)

Former and beloved Pajiba critic Ranylt Richildis has landed elsewhere, writing reviews for another outlet. And just because she’s not here anymore doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate her intellectual awesomeness. InRo: You’ve got one of the best now. (In Review Online)

I totally missed this with Kanye-gate, but apparently Lagy Gaga dressed up like a bloody tampon for the Video Music Awards. Well done. (Superior Gossip)

And if Kayne-gate has been good for nothing else, it’s more fucking internet memes. So without further ado, here are 15 “interrupting Kanye” memes. (Holy Taco)

The poster for Nicolas Cage’s Lucky Crack Pipe Bad Lieutenant got banned by the MPAA. Who else is ridiculously fucking excited for this movie? (Gordon and the Whale)

Boys Like Girls has a new album out, and if you were a fan of the band previously … Let’s just say you probably won’t be anymore. (TMITM)

OH MY GOD, the season premiere of “CSI: Miami” is supposedly going to delve into the legend of how Horatio got his sunglasses. (Warming Glow)

Christopher Lloyd is doing swell. Not only is he starring in a Santa Buddies movie, but his made-for-Sci-fi movie, Knights of Bloodsteel just dropped on DVD. Poor fucking guy. (Film Drunk)

Whitney Houston went on “Oprah” to talk to Oprah about what a big, giant crackhead she used to be. Eh, yawn. (Yeeeah!)

I was actually sort of watching the US Open yesterday — or rather, the boyfriend was — so I was unfortunately only half paying attention when Roger Federer said The Bad Word on live TV. (Celebitchy)

Here are a bunch of (sorta NSFW) photos from a mass “naked bicycle ride” which took place in Philly last Sunday as I was getting home from California. Unfortunately we didn’t encounter any nekkid people on our way home from the airport, though. (Via Look at This Fucking Hipster) (Philly.com)

In one of endless amazing “Today” show moments, “Today” producers show a picture of a small girl on TV whose mom calls in to speak to an expert on whether or not her daughter is obese. Good call! (Jezebel)

It was inevitable, but I’m just surprised it didn’t happen sooner — “The X-Files” has finally been turned into a porno. (Topless Robot)

In honor of Patrick Swayze’s memory, here is one of the ways I will most fondly remember him, as a Chippendale dancer opposite Chris Farley:

Chris Farley - Chippendales

Although he Whitney interview was nothing really new, I thought she looked a lot better than she was in the past. I hope she stays clean.

Wasn't a big fan of Patrick Swayze (I hate Dirty Dancing) but I never failed to crack up at that SNL skit. I love how Swayze starts bawling near the end because he wins, but he's shocked because Farley's dancing is so "good."

Hard to believe they're both gone. RIP, Patrick.

I didn’t know Kanye fucked with that Hen, I thought he was strictly Cristal, no wonder.

Posted by: Guess Who! at September 15, 2009 1:29 PM

There's a gun in that poster? Pointed at somebody? Is this like "Where's Waldo, Smith & Wesson"? I thought the MPAA had a problem because it looks like somebody either has a salami or his dick in his hand/lap. But really, I can't tell what any of that is supposed to be.

All I know is, I don't have to see the movie to know Harvey Keitel's bad lieutenant would snap Nic Cage's bad lieutenant like a pencil.

Look at that mane of hair! Adios, Patrick.

Is the new logo the proposed cover for Pajibanetics by L. Dustin Rowles?

Posted by: Eep at September 15, 2009 1:38 PM

OK, who scared off Ranylt?

Posted by: Cindy at September 15, 2009 1:46 PM

Oh and that little girl looks perfect to me. Jesopus, they wonder why young women have such body issues.

Posted by: Cindy at September 15, 2009 1:48 PM

Eep, it's the logo for Zombieland, but Pajiba-fied.

Also, since there are some Pajibians from the Philly area, I thought you'd all like to see how fucking ridiculous the PA budget (or lack of) has made things:

http://libwww.freelibrary.org/closing/

Yes, the Free Library of Philly has been forced to close down. Way to go, PA!

Posted by: henchman for hire at September 15, 2009 2:00 PM

Fuck yes Bad Lieutenant. If a magic ingredient for turning terrible Nic Cage acting into pure awesome exists, it's Werner Herzog.

"Shoot him again. His soul is still dancing."

Posted by: Royalewithcheese at September 15, 2009 2:04 PM

Good call indeed! Let's put a picture of a completely normal sized girl on national television so that she can spend her formative years aware that everyone in her town knows her mommy thinks she's fat.

Posted by: Lillie at September 15, 2009 2:05 PM

Thanks henchman, and yeah I knew it was something in particular unrelated to Dianetics; it's just what it makes me think of...

Posted by: Eep at September 15, 2009 2:08 PM

Pajibanetics by L. Dustin Rowles?

I could probably get behind that.

psst, ,(TCFKAB), scroll down. the full poster is below the text.

Posted by: melia at September 15, 2009 2:14 PM

OMG Ranylt?!

Um, I'll be back.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at September 15, 2009 2:20 PM

I already wrote to my state representatives using strong yet not obscene language and essentially demanded they get their shit together and fund my fucking library system.

*ahem*

How badass is Obama? Yes, Kanye, you ARE a jackass. I should light my Late Registration CD on fire, but I'd have to find it first.

Posted by: Nicole at September 15, 2009 2:22 PM

Oh, and it wasn't me with the stalking, Cindy. Just so we're clear.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at September 15, 2009 2:22 PM

Whenever I see someone walking around drinking hootch straight from the bottle and they AREN'T at their own house, I think to myself "how impressive! He is classy! I must know this impressive classy person!"

Or I don't. Whatever.

Posted by: Snuggiepants the Deathbringer at September 15, 2009 2:31 PM

What a ridiculous bitch. That little girl is adorable! I usually roll my eyes when people blame their problems on their parents (unless it involves abuse, addiction, or something equally as serious), then I see something like this. Now this is happening:

All you moms, gather round. Hey! Over here! Get off the scale and get over here! No, this will be quick. Just listen up. At the very minimum, your daughters are beautiful young ladies who need to be taught respect for themselves and others, instilled with the belief that they can be anything they want in this life, and trust that their mothers will not humiliate them in public on any level. Well, unless you want them to end up with someone who respects them as little as you do. Daddies keep them off the stripper pole. Mommies keep them off anti-depressants.

Now go hug your daughters and apply what you've learned here today.

Posted by: Kballs at September 15, 2009 2:34 PM

Ok, I just have to finally say this:

I KNOW Kanye does this shit for attention. I KNOW MTV/VH1/what-or-whoever the fuck allows him to do this shit for ratings. I KNOW Taylor Swift got more attention from this than she has for anything else in her career.

But, seriously, WHY HASN'T SOMEONE PUNCHED THAT DOUCHENOZZLE FUCKTART LOLLYLICKIN' BUTTMUD SCROTESQUEEZIN' DILLHOLE IN THE FACE?

HATEHATEHATEHATEHATEHATEHATE

Thank you, we now return you to your regularly scheduled insanity

Posted by: dammitjanet at September 15, 2009 2:46 PM

Kballs, on the other hand, I love you. That was PERFECT. I wish my parents had done that for me so that I wouldn't have spent 30+ years thinking I was too fat. I'm now 40 something and really pretty comfortable with myself. I have always tried to instill your message in my 2 daughters, who are both beautiful, bright young women.

Spread the word, Pajibans, spread the love.

Posted by: dammitjanet at September 15, 2009 2:53 PM

AW, Kballs. I kinda want to hug you right now.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at September 15, 2009 2:53 PM

So does Ranylt have an exclusivity contract? Can't she write the occasional piece for us too? I am really sad if we've lost Ranylt for good. I thought she was just taking time out to stock up on firewood for those Ottawa winters.

Posted by: PaddyDog at September 15, 2009 2:59 PM

Kanye West needs to drop that angry negro shit. Pathetic, pampered privileged douche acting as if the world's done him wrong.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at September 15, 2009 3:03 PM

I miss Ranylt. Does this mean she won't be coming back here?

::sad face::

I so wish I could watch that Today Show clip, but I'm sitting in a doctor's waiting room and that wouldn't go oer too well. Guess I'll have to save my rage for a few minutes.

Posted by: stardust savant at September 15, 2009 3:05 PM

Oh, poor Kanye. All he wants to do is give. Yes, Snuggiepants, I agree that the only thing classier than swigging straight from the bottle in public is to do so with a gal in an elegant skintight onesie that barely contains her.

No way am I clicking on that naked bicycle link. Mass nudity is already terrifying, but while straddling a bike? No thanks. We've got some end-of-term thing here in Ann Arbor called the "naked mile" where students strip naked and run through the streets, then file suits against the city for failing to protect them from being groped by anyone pervy enough to want to watch such a thing. The bright minds of the future, America!

One year on the way to work I encountered a guy who had gotten "separated from the herd," so to speak, and if you're like me and not big on coffee, then I highly recommend hiring a 250 pound naked guy encased in a see-through body stocking to run up to you at 6 am in a nearly abandoned parking garage. It's the ultimate wake-me-up. Seriously, that was 3 years ago and I still haven't slept. It's also the reason that I now carry mace.

Posted by: DeadBessie at September 15, 2009 3:07 PM

Every time I hear a story like that (the mom thinking her daughter was fat), I thank my lucky stars for having the mother I do. The Mom that always said I was perfect no matter what. That has never made any type of comment about my weight or what I am eating. I wish everyone was as lucky as I am.

Posted by: wooky at September 15, 2009 3:11 PM

"if you're like me and not big on coffee, then I highly recommend hiring a 250 pound naked guy encased in a see-through body stocking to run up to you at 6 am in a nearly abandoned parking garage. It's the ultimate wake-me-up.."


Probably one of the funniest things I've read here.

Did the guy try to talk to you? Ask for directions?

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at September 15, 2009 3:17 PM

He wanted directions on how to get back to the group. I think I managed to stammer and point in the general direction. He was polite about it, kept his distance--maybe because his happy sacks were out there and vulnerable and I kept eyeing his groin, wondering how hard I'd have to kick him to take him down--but was clearly desperate, since in a crowd he was just another wacky, care-free participant, but alone he was a perv.

I did call the cops on him once I got into work and got to a phone. I didn't have to bother, really--they had had multiple sightings.

Posted by: DeadBessie at September 15, 2009 3:33 PM

RIP Patrick Swayze. He's Dirt Dancing now.

Posted by: Kris at September 15, 2009 4:07 PM

After looking at Kanye's ......girldude friend I kinda don't want to put the baby in a onesie anymore. Plus, the baby's got more hair then that...woman? I'm afraid I may just be asking for identity issues in a few years.

Posted by: admin at September 15, 2009 4:17 PM

Fun to see Caruso without the sunglasses and all, but sadly all the CGI magic in the world can't seem to erase the caricature from his acting. Nor *cough* those extra twenty or thirty pounds from his frame. I saw a first-season episode while home the other day and was shocked at how much thinner he looked and how much less annoying his character was.

Seriously, he and Petersen need to go talk to Mark Harmon and Gary Sinise and find out whether they've got a Portrait of Dorian Gray thing going on or what.

Posted by: snorklewacker at September 15, 2009 5:14 PM

No words on this planet can describe Farley's move at 2:22. Glorious.

Posted by: Mick J at September 15, 2009 5:31 PM

I can't decide whether to love or hate Lady Gaga. On the one hand, woman has a ball being batshit insane (or at least pretending to be) and doing really insane, but funny things. on the other hand, her music blows and she's desperate for the attention. But she does kind of crack me up. If only she had the talent to back up the crazy, like Bjork, I think I'd like her better.

Posted by: figgy at September 15, 2009 7:43 PM

While I'm happy for Ranylt's success and elated to be able to savor her gorgeous criticism once more, surely Pajiba has some sort of plan to prevent anymore defections at this point. What's the Pajiba equivalent of no snitching? Some sort of electrical shock system? Invisible linguistic dinosaurs set to swallow or writerly abilities and creative memories from those who dare abandon their post? Trained zombie attack armies?

Posted by: Robert at September 15, 2009 7:44 PM

Maybe TK will loan out some of the zombies in his basement to keep the current Pajiba staff from defecting.

Oh, snap. I laughed out loud.

Posted by: BierceAmbrose at September 15, 2009 10:29 PM

'Especially the fat ones.' -I just cackled like a goon.

Man, I thought my sister's experience with the flasher was creepy, but THAT story approaches near-Ionesco levels of wacky. I don't understand why people do this stuff. Embrace Shame! To run about in public like that just says: 'Ladies, do not touch me even through a nineteen-layer HAZMAT condom, because I will disappoint you in ways that not even your emotionally-distant and witholding daddy could. Call me!'

VMA Smackdown? How dare you wake me at the crack of noon with such things? Everything's an event, it seems. For instance, 'To shake your booty means to wiggle one's butt.' Permit me to not give a shit.


Posted by: Jo 'Mama' Besser at September 15, 2009 10:35 PM

Kballs, Bless you for the friendly bitch slap. I agree wholeheartedly. My wee lady is a scrawny little string bean, just like her mom was. When she hits about 18-22, she'll get this really great set of chipmunk cheeks and a norwegian-butter-churning-milk-maid layer of chub all over her cute self and I will tell her she's glorious. Then, she'll go string bean again and I shall deliver avocado to her dorm/art slum apartment. It will be good. If she stays plump, also good because she has the awesomest dimples ever and she'll have a chance at having boobies!

I don't mind yelling at 20 year olds about this - your body just pads itself in the late teens early twenties. We need to spread the word about the normalcy and healthiness of that. I worked with a gorgeous Persian girl who looked like a bowl of fruit - she was a circular marvel in all the fabulous ways and I yelled at her daily with a Dr. Evil 'Shhht' each time she dared complain. If only she could see herself! We need to rumor-mill normalcy. How subversive would that be?

I also bless my momma who let me quit acting and modelling when I hit 14 and they told me I was too fat (to fit into 8 year old clothes, which was the ideal I suppose?). She said, and I quote, 'screw them'. Yay good moms!


DeadBessie you made me cackle so hard I woke that daughter up!

Posted by: replica at September 16, 2009 1:39 AM

@replica: your modelling story reminds of something that I read about Judy Garland a long time ago. In the book THE WIZARD OF OZ, Dorothy is twelve years old. Fine. Judy Garland however, was seventeen years old when she filmed the role. So what happens? She was forced to take a horse's enema worth of diet pills, and because these people wanted to play the The Little Apothecary That Could role, there was no regard for the terrifying effects that kind of abuse could incur. So, Judy Garland was an addict for the remained of her life. She was only 47 when she OD'ed. I mean, of course she went on to harder things of her own volition, and people were just more ignorant about drugs--strength, amount etc.--but I have to wonder, what were they thinking!?!?

Don't I know all about the padding. My sisters are ten years older than me, so I always know what's coming. Of course, this padding was added their 5'6 and 5'7 frames. I'm JUST 5'0 (I know, even Toulouse-Lautrec and the Olsen twins are bigger than me. I've still besting Alexander Pope!) Absolutely healthy proportions, but kind of strange, nonetheless.

Having old sisters was fortunate for me, because my mother is one of those 'don't ask, you whore' types when it comes to...things. I remember the morning after menarche, I was drinking hot cocoa and watching ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE.

Do you want to hear the best 'birds and the bees' lesson ever? Yes, yessity-yes!

'You can get pregnant now, so watch your back and don't be a dumb slut.'

How do you respond?

'Um, I have to go to grade seven.'

No, I'm not making that up. What would I have to gain? I guessed it worked. But now I think I'm coming down with a case of greensickness. The furor of her words have vested lunacy in me. It's all her fault! I can blame her for everything! I feel a tantrum coming, oh why won't SOMEBODY do something about the amount of candy that I eat?

Posted by: Jo 'Mama' Besser at September 16, 2009 2:24 AM

'You can get pregnant now, so watch your back and don't be a dumb slut.'

Not really bad advice though.

Posted by: Lindsey with an 'e' at September 16, 2009 4:25 AM

@Replica
Ugh. Modeling is evil.
I was 17 in Miami (originally from NZ) by myself. 5'9" & 56kgs - sorry people who use other systems - and my agent kindly suggested I consider a cocaine diet, to lose all that 'extra' weight.
No girlchild of mine is going near modeling.

Posted by: missh at September 16, 2009 5:48 AM

Back when i worked in a video store in the early aughts we already had a VHS called "The Sex Files". Didn't watch it though, so can't vouch for it's quality.

Posted by: returnofthesmith at September 16, 2009 11:21 AM

@Lindsey: I concur. Granted, if I ever do have children it isn't going to be now or even soon: Too young, no desire. I had a gap year between university and graduate school, and I spent big 'ol swaths of time babysitting my then one-year-old nephew three years ago.

Woof.

If anyone were to put the mad flavour in this womb, sure my mother would rip my arms off and beat me with them. That'd still be a lot easier to handle than baby-rearing. They don't stop. I remember it was almost Christmas, and I came back from a job that I could only describe as 'Pazuzu's Own'. This was when I still lived with my mother, so I wasn't alone with the baby. I flopped on the couch, and fell asleep without even taking of my uniform. And then I felt something warm, something yellow. The baby was peeing on my foot! I woke up, asked what he was doing, and he jumped up and down, pointing and laughing. Kid was peeing on my foot!

I'm glad he's calming down, for a while he was as unhinged as his aunt.
