There are two things I’m allergic to, and no, these aren’t regular allergies like nuts or dairy. I’m allergic to onions — red onions and white onions, but somehow not chives. And sunscreen. Yes, you read that correctly. I’ll say it again: I’m allergic to sunscreen. Now before you go…
In case you haven’t heard, Facebook got two very cool upgrades recently, with the introduction of group chat and video chat — thanks, in large part, to a partnership with Skype. Props to Mark Zuckerberg though — being able to video chat with friends who are “online” on Facebook is…

CHROMEO at #WMS11 | 06.18.11″Two songs in and it was clear: Dave and P came to party. There wasn’t much in the way of segues or throwaway banter between tunes. Chromeo let the music speak for itself and went straight for the hipbone.”…
There are a lot of things to love about the ’90s: Power Rangers, Cindy Crawford, Titanic, Beanie Babies, Win Ben Stein’s Money, Mr. Bean, Friends or that notorious low-speed chase involving a white van and a retired professional football player. The music, however, was the best part of the decade…
It’s not every day that you see a cow in an inner tube. Of course, it’s also not every day that records are broken. No word yet on whether Water World helped break the Guinness world record today for the largest swimming lesson, but one thing’s for sure: the attempt…
It’s no secret that Katy Perry has a wicked sense of comedic timing. Remember when her Sesame Street appearance didn’t air and she donned a skin-tight Elmo T-shirt and bounced around on Saturday Night Live as Maureen the sixteen-year-old who just hit puberty (and hard)? No one could forget the…

Blow jobs, blow jobs, blow jobs, vodka. You’d think, at a Chelsea Handler comedy show sponsored by Belvedere Vodka, that there’d be more vodka plugs, more jokes about alcohol or more punchlines about boozing it up with your girlfriends. But there weren’t. The only plugs that Chelsea — or any…
