Loading ...James Bond. I used to not care. Then Daniel Craig took over. And I cared. Forget that the title of the second installment of the updated Bond franchise makes little to no sense (at least to people like me), and mark your calendars for October 31, 2008 — the date when Quantum of Solace premieres (seriously..I wikipediaed “quantum” and it has something to do with energy and momentum and photons…so like, the “indivisible entity of a quantity of solace“?). Anyhoo, the main reason most of us probably want to see this movie is because Craig is guaranteed to be bare-chested a lot and if we pray really hard - naked. He was naked in the last one. Who cared that he was being tortured while being naked? All I saw were Craig abs. If you can’t wait until October to get your Craig fix, here’s the new trailer for Quantum. It seems complicated. I’m not sure what they’re talking about. But Judy Dench is there again! And 007 is shirtless for 2.5 seconds! Plus, the James Bond music is all badass in the background. PS: In case you’re wondering, the full on abs shot is at 1:35. Christmas in July, baby.
Welcome to holiday season! Sure,
you may not be able to shop, shop,
shop like you usually do this time of
year (thank you, Wall Street!), but
that doesn’t make it any less glorious!
There’s the music! And the movies!
And the general good mood of everyone
around you. We, like everyone else,
loooove this time of year…and we don’t
even celebrate Christmas!

Your First Look at ‘Quantum of Solace’ — and Craig Abs
POP!: CC’s Weekly Round Up of all Things Pop Culture
Fashion
God, Charlize Theron is hot. And I love what she’s wearing.
Hottie of the Week
David Beckham. I hate his voice but man do I love him nearly naked.
Babies Babies Babies
Jamie Lynn Spears gave birth to a baby girl. Please don’t disappoint me by giving her a non-Hollywood crazy name. I don’t want to hear this talk of you giving her a pretty, normal name like Maddie.
Can everyone stop blaming teen pregnancies on “Juno”? I’m sure that movie didn’t influence a group of Massachusetts teenagers to make a ‘pregnancy pact.’
Karolina Kurkova, probably best known for her Victoria’s Secret spreads, “shocked” everyone who saw her “love handles and cellulite” at fashion week in Sao Paolo, Brazil. Karolina apologizes to everyone for eating and for having a booty. Read More »
Slightly Irrational Fears: Sex Tape
A couple of years ago, I went to visit a friend who lived out of state and ended up having sex with one of her guy friends. He was intensely good looking and I was intensely drunk and fun was had by all. I was just coming off of a huge breakup, and some comfort nooky was much appreciated, but I didn’t think much of it or him afterwards.
Until one day, I got a very strange call from One Night Stand guy. It went like this:
One Night Stand guy: Hey Jessica, how are you?
Me: Fine, busy. How are you?
ONSG: Um, I’m okay. Hey, have you ever been in a porn?
Me: Excuse me?
ONSG: It’s just, well, I was looking at some porn on the internet and I’m pretty sure that you are in one.
Me: (After about ten seconds) Are you sure?
ONSG: Well, she looks a lot like you, um, naked. Read More »
The Morning-After: Awkward All Around
I woke up. Again. I don’t think I had slept longer than an hour all night. Could it be those last two Soco-Limes I guzzled, or the fact that I was not in my own bed and subconsciously didn’t want to drool on the (hot) boy’s pillow I was currently sharing? Regardless, light was finally filling the room, which could mean only one thing: this boy was about to wake up, see me and completely regret the last two Soco-Limes he had bought each of us.
I stared around the room, half willing the boy to wake up and prove me wrong – by initiating another round of lovin’ – and half planning my silent escape while he was still passed out.
It never changes. And I don’t think it is much different for anyone. No matter how great the evening was, no matter how hot you looked in that brand new going-out shirt and no matter the fact that he came onto you, we all spend some of the after-glow fearing the worst:
He is not going to remember what happened.
He is going to roll over, see me and freak out.
He is going to vomit from the amount of alcohol it took for him to find me attractive. Read More »
Nude Vacays…Um, No Thank You.
At the first mention of nude vacations, my boyfriend excitedly asked when we were taking one. My immediate reaction was not so enthusiastic. I was plagued by thoughts of flabby Midwesterners eager to experience adventures now that their kids have moved out.
I researched Mexico’s Hidden beach Resort, an “Au Natural Club” to get a better idea of the growing trend that is nude vacationing. Upon investigation, I found that, yes, the prime age of nude vacationers is 40 +, but the seedy desert motel I saw on that one episode of The Simple Life is a far cry from nude vacation experiences available today.
Upscale resorts, cruise lines and time shares are jumping in on the trend. Services like champagne greetings and rose petal turn down service allow guests to feel immediately pampered. However, I’m still a little weary on the whole naked part. Read More »
Why I Am (Mostly) Afraid of Male Strippers
I have done sloppy second with a stripper. On stage. No, not on purpose.
I am not easily intimidated by guys. While I wouldn’t say that I have them completely figured out, I am confident with myself and with them to the point that I can talk to nearly any type of guy in any situation. Except for one.
Male strippers.
I had no idea that I was actually afraid of them until the night of the sloppy second – which was at Lucky Cheng’s. My friends and I had planned a night of bad food (seriously, I heard that the food there sucks) and a fabulous “dragdoll” wait staff. But instead of fabulousity, we learned that 1) they do not serve dinner on Fridays and 2) we would instead be watching a male review.
One of my friends and I wanted to leave but we were out voted and I panicked as we were led behind the curtain into a smallish room filled with sweat, humidity and about 75 women, half of whom were screaming at the mostly naked guys as though they were having the most fun ever.
Those guys not only smell your fear – they seem to be drawn to it. They loved our collective panic (at least mine and my friend’s) so much that they put our group on stage for the remainder of the show. This was all before I had adequate time to even get a little buzzed to help me deal with the situation. Read More »
Was Michelangelo Hot?
I almost wish I lived in the 1500s so I could bang Michelangelo.
There, I said it, and I’m only a little embarrassed about it. I just returned from a two-week sojourn to Berlin and Florence, and the single most amazing thing I saw (and have perhaps ever seen) is Michelangelo’s sculpture of David.
Nothing has ever, ever made me want to get with somebody so much.
Until you see the sculpture in person, it’s easy to pass it off as a commodity. No picture can do it justice, and it’s hard to understand just how incredible it is without seeing it for yourself. The main thought going through my mind as I stood there looking at it, though, was, “Holy cow. How the hell could Michelangelo sculpt a man as anatomically gorgeous as this one? He must have used himself as a model, because the details are just too precise. Michelangelo must have been freaking hot!”
This might seem ridiculous, but trust me, it’s not. There are details on David that pictures just don’t show. The veins in the arms, the just-so rippling of the hip and thigh muscles, the soft framing of the bone structure in the hands…it’s all there, and I am convinced that no artist could ever create that kind of detail without using a reference. And when you’re sculpting a nude that’s the same sex as you are, the easiest reference to use is yourself.
Conclusion: Michelangelo must have been ripped. Read More »
Grammy Fashion: Hilarious, As Usual.
As if mentioning Cher’s bad fashion is even necessary. Because we all know Cher. We know that bad fashion is at least 75% of the reason why she is famous. So of course she wore the ugliest outfit that the goblins working in her closet could throw at her for last night’s Grammy Awards. But that’s to be expected. So what is everyone else’s excuse?
