Short, Pale Brunettes Despair, Leonardo DiCaprio Cements His "Type" With New Blonde Amazon

By Joanna Robinson | Posted Under Pajiba Love | Comments (33)



Leo's Angels.jpg

Morning my sparkling diamonds. We start today’s Love with this clip of Robert Pattinson strumming and crooning out a sort of coffee-house/Shawn Mullinsy tune. I’m not certain of the source of this song, but I presume it’s part of Pattinson’s campaign: Jeff Buckley Or Bust. I’m no fan of Robert Pattinson (intriguing hair, terrible actor), but even I have to admit he doesn’t sound terrible. I can’t imagine how acutely agitated his die-hard fans must be, you know, in their trouser region. (Evil Beet)

Leonardo DiCaprio has been acutely agitating trouser regions for over a decade now. His latest in a long string-bikini line of ladyfriends is “Gossip Girl” actress Blake Lively. (Celebitchy)

This is what I like about these these tan, blonde Stepford clones of Leo’s, he gets older, they stay the same age. [Gisele (28) Bar (25) Blake (23)] Who do we think will be next year’s model? Fret not, Taylor Swift (21) has two out of three of the requirements nailed down. Here she is praying to the sun gods to help her fulfill the third Melanomponent.

Listen, we all have our own ways of worshiping. Some of them are just a bit more Freudian. H/T to Lindsay for these Unintentionally Sexual Church Signs. (Some E-Cards)

Speaking of mixing business with pleasure, this canny Brazilian lady has won a court case and is now legally allowed to masturbate at work. Well done, canny Brazilian lady. (AOL Weird News)

I mean, honestly, if cracking one off (is that a thing? it sounds like it should be a thing) truly makes someone a better employee, I’m all for it. If, um, “steaming his latte” at work would help my barista make some of these badass foam creations, who am I to say nay? This is where I DON’T make a fappuccino joke. Because I’m classy. (Illuminations and Other Stuff)

Something tells me Satoshi Kanazawa could “massage the data” all day long and still be terrible at his job. Read his disgustingly racist “study” for Psychology Today which concludes that black women are less physically attractive than other women. Then enjoy this post which tears him and his “science” a new one. (Persephone Magazine)

Yes, sure, black people are empirically less attractive. It’s not like our current Commander in Chief is the only POTUSILF or anything. (HE TOTALLY IS. SUCK IT, JFK.) Don’t believe me? Check out Rambama. (Herobuilders)

Once you get over the preposterousness of Rambama, take a gander at this series of Army Men called “Casualties of War.” (Who Killed Bambi)

I know, I know, those were a downer. Let’s lift our spirits, my tender readers, with this “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Photoshop” photo from National Geographic: “Tinted orange by the morning sun, a soaring dune is the backdrop for the hulks of camel thorn trees in Namib-Naukluft Park.” Astonishing.

Also astonishing are these non-CGI’d transformations of attractive stars into famous movie monsters. It’s a really neat tribute to the art of cinematic makeup, but I call foul on the inclusions of Willem Dafoe. He was born that way. (Unreality)

Speaking of attractive stars, the prettiest legs (with apologies to Robert Sean Leonard) on the set of “House” are walking out the door. Lisa Edelstein (Dr. Cuddy) will not return next season. Looks like it was all about the benjamins. (Warming Glow)

And speaking of TV’s strong-willed females, idiosynchronic sent in this fantastic article by Roseanne Barr on Charlie Sheen, sexism and television. It’s a must-read, I promise you. As idiosynchronic put it, you’ll admire the ovaries on this woman (NY Mag)

Take a listen to this amazing piece of music created by only one piano, one cello and some ambient noises. I really dig on a beat created by the sound of a piano lid banging open.

Finally, in honor of this Saturday, which some are calling “the Rapture” and I’m calling “International Hug An Annoyingly Smug Devout Person Day,” here’s a megamix of cinematic End Of Days.

Eclectic Method - The Apocamix from Eclectic Method on Vimeo.

Joanna Robinson will find the holiest person she knows this Saturday and will hold him/her tight. Either she’s getting raptured with them like a Divine Backpack, or the weight of her sins will hold them down. Either way she considers it a win-win. Email! Twitter!

Oh man, so much in today's P-Love is setting me off.

Leo, NO! Blake Lively is not a star, no mater how hard Karl Lagerfeld, Anna Wintour, et al. are trying to push her on us. She was absolutely terrible in The Town. Make her stop. She is the epitome of trying too hard.

And I hadn't heard this Robert Pattinson as Jeff Buckley business before, but it is making feel very STABBY.

Posted by: Mel C. at May 18, 2011 1:21 PM

Thanks for the Linda Edelstein link courtney. I had never seen the stripping scene! And it's suddenly VERY WARM here.

Posted by: logan at May 18, 2011 1:35 PM

I think part of the problem behind yet another "Rapture" scare is that they need to update its marketing for the 21st Century mentality.

Change from;

"The End is Neigh
Ye All Need to Repent
Prepare for God's Judgement"

To

"The Reboot is Neigh
Ye All Need To Back Up
User Control Alt Delete"

Of course the drawback is that when you reboot, often it appears nothing has actually changed, and to the itself computer nothing has. It just takes up where it last left off. So when we wake up the next day we may actually be Earth 5.2, but really who could prove it?

The end is neigh?

Is the rapture moo?

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at May 18, 2011 1:41 PM

You still suck at making these lists I see. Don't worry - you'll get the hang of it some day.

Damn you auto spell check! Bane of my desktop!

Ana Catarian Bezerra, Brazilian Woman, Legally Entitled To Masturbate At Work (VIDEO)

Either the most idiotic or the most brilliant headline ever.

Damn, Roseanne got some steel-ovaries!

Posted by: Patty O'Green at May 18, 2011 1:46 PM

I keep licking that picture of Blake and she WON'T TURN AND LOOK AT ME!!!! WHYYYYYYYYYYY?????????

Posted by: Kballs at May 18, 2011 1:49 PM

Sigh. For years and years and years I've been dreaming of the day when Leo would realize that we were meant for each other ... no, wait. For years I have been refusing to watch any movie in which Leonardo DiCaprio does not die (okay, except Inception, which is awesome), because he is annoying and unattractive. Seriously, the Quick and the Dead, in which Russell Crowe is hot and Leo dies (spoiler, sorry) is like the greatest movie of all time.

Despair? No way, man. We can now leave our houses without fear. Thanks for showing us the light, JRob!

Robert Pattinson strumming and crooning

He did (one/a couple) of songs on (one/a couple) of the Twilight soundtracks, and yeah, he's actually got kind of a nice voice.

PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME HOW I KNOW THIS. Trust me when I tell you it will be better for all of us this way. Thank you.

The rapture is moo
I'm a little surprised I haven't seen this in a Chik-Fil-A commercial yet.

If, um, “steaming his latte” at work would help my barista make some of these badass foam creations, who am I to say nay?
I'd suggest you take a second to think of the implication of what may be going into your latte.

Psychology Today, according to my Phsych 101 teacher, is pretty much The Enquirer (Inquirer?) for psychology.

this canny Brazilian lady has won a court case and is now legally allowed to masturbate at work.

47 times A DAY?! How does she even get any work done?!

Posted by: Anna von Beav at May 18, 2011 1:57 PM

She's a multi-tasker?

Posted by: logan at May 18, 2011 2:00 PM

I bet her fingers are pruney as all hell.

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at May 18, 2011 2:06 PM

I remember hearing somewhere (here maybe?) that Pattinson actually doesn't like acting all that much and would much rather use his fame to become a musician.

I'm assuming R-Patz singing and the story about the Brazilian woman aren't unrelated.

Posted by: Socrates_Johnson at May 18, 2011 2:07 PM

So, do you guys think Leo actually cares for these broads? I mean, more power to him, I guess? I'd love for Bar to Rafaeli me all night long. But, can Leo love? Is he capable? Does it matter? He's Gatsby! If you ask me, and I know you're just waiting to hear my opinion, he's still pining over the Winslet. And I can't blame him for that.

As for those church signs, I've always thought some of the signmakers must have a sense of humor. Now, I'm not so sure. It's like they want "sinners" to make fun of them, just to prove a point. I guess we'll find out on Saturday.

Dun dunn dunnnnnn!

AND FINALLY, that piano and cello piece is lovely. I like it A LOT.

And also, Divine Backpack is my new band name.

Posted by: Anna von Beav at May 18, 2011 2:15 PM

I said it about Olivia Wilde, and I'll say it about Blake Lively: Hollywood, stop trying to make Blakey Lively happen. She's never going to happen.

Posted by: Dorothy Snarker at May 18, 2011 2:15 PM

So, was Leo in Vegas on April 1st?

Posted by: The Mutt at May 18, 2011 2:18 PM

I would not want to be the one who may share the keyboard used by Ana Bezerra. "Why are the keys all sticky?"

Dennis, you just have to keep telling the barista "That's FRappucino!"

Posted by: The Wanderer at May 18, 2011 2:31 PM

I would like to formally acknowledge a distinct lack of Superasente, Tracer Bullet and PaddyDog of late. Rykker has been AWOL for months. What is up with that? Even Kballs is a shadow of his former self. LindsEy and Lainey made off with them didn't they? Even as I type they are braiding each other's hair and plotting.

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at May 18, 2011 2:46 PM

That article by Rosanne was some POWERFUL shit.

Posted by: John W at May 18, 2011 3:37 PM

My charms are indeed hard to resist, but I assure you I have NONE of them locked in my basement. Anymore.

Posted by: Lindsey with an 'e' at May 18, 2011 3:59 PM

About that ridiculous racist attraction article: I'm not going to give Psych Today any clicks by checking, but I wonder if these kinds of websites that keep posting racist or sexist crap (seemingly without ever running it by an editor because, really? No one thought that to not publish that shit?) are making up the authors of them. Or at least that the journalists are willing to take the heat as long as they get more traffic to the site.

I think it has to be something like a celebrity sex tape. You can't release a sex tape of anyone without getting their permission and paying them. They're all released by the celebrities themselves to get attention.

With these websites that publish a blatantly racist or sexist article then try to "pull it down" and apologize; they're just doing the same thing. Manufacturing a controversy for site traffic.

I don't know which option I dread more. That there's this much ignorance in "News" or that they are willing to manufacture their own ignorance. Either way, this is what journalistic integrity has devolved into today.

Wow. I need to get me a fancy electric cello. Those are awesome.

Posted by: Paultera at May 18, 2011 5:00 PM

Again with the church signs? They are most likely all fake.

So, Blake's got game (BOOBS!!!), Ryan Gosling, now Leonardo Dicaprio...
Boobalistic Mcmumble will NOT be stopped, bitches.
Seriously, professional girlfriend seems to be a good career move for blake since she can't act to save her life(breast can't act). I so totally approve Blake and Leo = Bleo? (Ha!)

Posted by: Angie at May 18, 2011 6:49 PM

The Roseanne thing was pretty cool. There are few things more entertaining than when someone who works in some powerful business sector (doesn't even have to be Hollywood, though there is kind of an extra thrill there, since we know who they're talking about) talks at length about all the bullshit they had to put up with and doesn't give a fuck who it angers or makes look bad.

Looks like SOMEbody is going to contract a bizarre illness House can't figure out.

Watching Cuddy strip, I don't know how he still doesn't believe in Jehovah.

Wow, the comments on that Obama HeroBuilder thing are weird. Don't they vet their own comments so at least one positive is mentioned?

Posted by: Shadowen at May 19, 2011 7:46 PM

That HeroBuilder site was a trip, what the heck does your grandkid who won't pass the drowning test have to do with the actual Seals? Oh, and to suggest that the doll should've be made in the likeness of one of the 6ers just proves how getting your own umbilical cord wrapped around your neck has devastating effects of cognitive function. No, they should do it, this isn't a celebrity-obsessed culture, fanactics of any sort will surely them alone, right? Foolishness. Hm, how does one prove that he is a racist? I know, how about bloviating into the wind about how cowardly it was for someone to give you exactly what you have wanted for lo, these ten years. Was he supposed to stealth his way into Pakistan, brave the Zoo Of Death and the Porn Sluice and carry out the deed himself--all the while capping the BP leak with his own teeth? Even your rentboy Captain Kanye-Smash is on board with what played out, and still Old Black Joe displeases you? So, how would you have orchestrated this, Coeur de Lion? All of that righteous fury, well, you certainly channeled it into something more productive than nothing, and had more meaningful relationships to this immediate issue than being nominally related to someone who is no way germane to this specific issue? Of course they would deign to call it an action figure, what would they know about action? Clearly not much, as they seem to have this idea that Seals wander about the deserts with no special orders but a mandate that amounts to 'Git 'em'. Kids, that was the oprechniki and nobody misses them. No wait, I meant, kids, that was the foresters and nobody misses them. I'm sure those are the only two examples in history. You're never going to agree with everything that your leader does, but how how do justify your contrary and reactionary response to the execution (ha!) of one of your own expressed desires? If you're not in league with the cross burners, the only conclusion is this: You, children, are crackheads.

As far as being less attractive goes, that's nothing that we haven't been told all day, every day since the beginning of time, across the universe, adjacent to the cosmos. in tandem with the alkali flats and SSW of Elysian Fields--anyway, in every manner imaginable. The truly illuminating study would explore why no one will ever shut the fucking fuck up about it? Hell, the notion is probably being tatooed on the brains of the world whilst asleep and is encoded in the ultraviolet rays of the hot Mexican sun. Though I hate, hate the angry (corpulent, usually) black woman stereotype, can anyone here wonder why that state of being would arise and endure? Maybe we should ask Robert De Niro what the action is. Wretched of the Earth, indeed. I'm sleepy, happy marginalization.
