Justin Timberlake hosted “Saturday Night Live“ this weekend, reteaming with Andy Samberg for another digital short that bloggers are almost contractually obligated to post. It’s no “Dick in a Box,” but it’s still a special Mother’s Day treat we can all enjoy. The irrepressibly foxy Susan Sarandon and Patricia Clarkson co-star as maternal (and romantic) leads in this tale of two sons who finally pounce upon the perfect Mother’s Day gift. And to think, all I gave my mom this year was chocolate.
Now that Valentine’s Day weekend is upon us, many of us are looking to add a spark to our romantic lives. Thankfully, “The Video Guide to Successful Seduction” posted below is here to help. This unintentionally hilarious ’80s relic may not put your special someone in the mood for love, but it should, at the very least, score a laugh.
And it just gets better from there. Later in the video, a man (in perhaps the loudest fuchsia, purple, yellow and blue shirt I have ever seen) talks about the time a woman invited him to join her in the jacuzzi. “She said now or never,” he tells us. “I’m glad I took the jacuzzi, because she’s a great person.” Asked what makes a man sexy, a woman –standing next to a guy wearing painfully tight jeans, a T-shirt that seems to have a drawing of sea mammals on it, and a bright orange trucker hat — says, “The way he dresses.” My favorite moment is when a guy who looks like he was ripped from the “SNL” sketch “Bill Swerski’s Superfans” gives us this handy tip: ”In Detroit, you need a dollar, a 12-pack of beer, a gram of coke and a whip.”
This month’s Vanity Fair cover story is about Tina Fey maybe you ve heard of her. The profile written by Maureen Dowd — maybe you ve heard of her — features such headline grabbers as the backstory behind Fey’s mysterious chin scar — according to her husband she was cut in her front yard by a stranger when she was five — and the fact that she was a virgin till she was 25.
More interesting than those details however is Fey’s development from writer’s room puritan with a “chord of anger running through her comedy ” as her one-time colleague Adam McKay put it into a va-va-voom leading lady. “You’re a very attractive woman ” Alec Baldwin told her at one point. “You’ve got to pop one more button on that blouse.” Much like Virginia Heffernan’s 2003 New Yorker profile, Dowd’s piece depicts Fey as a sober hard-driven deeply principled woman who is a galaxy removed from the pill-popping icons who came before her on “Saturday Night Live.” When Dowd asks Fey what s the wildest thing she s ever done she replies “Nothing.” This is after all the woman Colin Quinn nicknamed “Herman the German.” Lorne Michaels compares her to Nazi propagandist Leni Riefenstahl.
Fey’s husband discloses the story of the worst trouble he ever got into with her He went to a strip club. “I feel like we all need to be better than that ” Fey says of the incident. “That industry needs to die by all of us being a little bit better than that.”
