Have you seen the Zach Galifianakis comedy series on Funny or Die called "Between Two Ferns"? It's basically Galifianakis conducting fake interviews with celebrities during which they both sit between two potted ferns and Galifianakis asks a bunch of strange and inappropriate questions. The resulting videos are always weird and awkward and deeply hilarious, and I've enjoyed every single one I've ever watched -- but none quite so much as his recent collaboration with Justin Bieber.

This particular "Between Two Ferns" episode is so great, in fact, I find myself reluctantly warming to Justin Bieber despite all his bratty behavior lately. I mean, any kid who's willing to let Zach Galifianakis badger him with the exact sort of insults disguised as questions we ALL want to ask -- not to mention the fantastic moment when Galifianakis angrily removed his belt and SPANKED him -- is okay in my book.

Galifianakis comes right out swinging by telling Bieber why he's thrilled to have him on the show:

It’s really exciting to talk to you, especially right in the middle of your public meltdown.

He goes on to say he's not sure how to talk to kids ("I've just never interviewed a 7-year-old before"), before asking him his first insightful question:

What was the last toy you got in a Happy Meal?

I have to say, Bieber does a great job of playing straight man. Check it out:

Haaaaaaaa. There are so many great lines from Galifianakis in this skit, I can't decide which is my favorite:

When you’re in the recording studio, do you ever think ‘Hey, what if I don’t make something shitty?'

You’ve had three hairstyles. What’s next for your career?

You said recently that Anne Frank could have been a Belieber ... Did you mean that if the Nazis had not taken her, and she lived to be in her 80s, she would have liked your music, presumably due to loss of hearing?

There hasn't been a time in the last six or seven years that I haven't urinated into a bucket. But I don't film it and put it on the Internet!

I don’t like your attitude, to be quite honest. Because you know what? YOU’RE TOO YOUNG TO BE SMOKING POT AND PEE PEEING IN BUCKETS AND DRIVING UP AND DOWN THE HIGHWAY FAST! I don’t think your mom would really mind if a stranger whipped her son.

Nothing dilutes public criticism like acknowledging it and making it funny as hell. Well played, Justin Bieber. Now pull up your damn pants.

What did you think of this video? Have you seen the "Between Two Ferns" series before?

Fans of The Real Housewives of New Jersey know what a tight marriage Joe and Melissa Gorga have. If it wasn't rock solid, his sister Teresa Giudice would have successfully broken them up seasons ago. Well, Melissa has finally revealed all the secrets to their happy union in her new book Love Italian Style and boy does it have tongues wagging. It might be the most sexist, misogynistic, barbaric book on love and relationships ever written. Seriously. Not kidding. If this is what it takes to make a marriage work, then I bet most women would would prefer to stay single. Take a look at the most outrageous bits of advice from Melissa and Joe.

Refusing to initiate is a Top Three reason men cheat. The ugliest girl in the world could come on to a man in that state of mind, and he might have to go for it. He thinks, At least someone wants me.

Farrah Abraham Makes a Claim So Outrageous We Can Barely Laugh

maandag 23 september 2013

AppId is over the quota

I think Farrah Abraham might have an evil twin. That's the only logical explanation behind her very existence. Think about it, doesn't it kind of make sense? One day she's classy, the next she's trashy? One day she's filming a sex tape (#backdoormom4lyfe), and the next she's claiming she doesn't care about fame.

Ha, ha, ha, that's right. My best friend Farrah (stay tuned for our web series coming never to a computer nowhere near you) recently spoke about her relationship with the media. Did you know Farrah doesn't want to be famous? Stupid evil twin, making Farrah an integral part of the D-List.

Keep in mind before you read her sage words, the woman has a new TV show in the works. So it's not like she's this century's Emily Dickinson, interviewed from her home, the crawlspace beneath her stairs.

I've never really been about fame or attention from the television and the people who see me on it. Now in our lives we are very choosy about reality television and what we do. I think if there's no real educational impact or showing advocacy for something, then, you know, I don't really think it's a good thing to be a part of.

I hate it when people use the word 'literally' as a means of emphasis, but I'm going to make an exception. That quote LITERALLY makes no sense. Not one whit. If Farrah really believes what she's saying, here are five other things she's likely to believe are true.

1. Unicorns

They exist, they have powers, and every day that passes is another chance for Farrah to meet one and befriend it.

2. Thunder Is Just Angels Bowling

Every time there is a thunderstorm, Farrah can be heard to yell out, "STRIKE!" Little does she knows, the angels are actually really into Settlers of Catan right now.

3. Invisibility

When Farrah doesn't want to deal with a problem, she believes that she "turns invisible." What actually happens is that she stops blinking and begins holding her breath while we all avoid her for fear she has gone quietly mad.

4. Cleaning Elves

Farrah doesn't own a mop, because she believes her home is cleaned by an army of well-meaning elves. You should see her bathroom.

5. Her Hair Has Powers

Farrah believes that her long hair gives her powers including super-strength. Thankfully she does not believe her hair has given her the ability to fly.

Do you think Farrah really isn't interested in fame?

Kate Middleton's Biographer Reveals What Makes the Duchess and Prince William a Good Match

Details about Duchess Catherine's past, present, and clues to her future are all coming out at warp speed now that Kate: A Biography (can't get more straightforward than that!) is due out on October 1, and author Marcia Moody is dishing to the press to pique our interest in the book. While we're learning lots about Kate as a fashion icon (she used to be a tomboy!) and Kate's work and charities, the juice I find most intriguing centers around her relationship with Prince William.

Thankfully, Parade notes that much of the book is spent on their romance -- how Kate and William met, fell in love, and married. Thus, the magazine decided to ask Moody the intriguing question we'd all like to know the answer to: "What makes Kate and William a good match?" 

Moody's response:

Kate and William just click, like any couple in a good relationship, and it’s so clear when you see them together. They have shared interests and life-views, a similar sense of humor, their friends all know each other, they love each other’s families, they strive for the same things, and they are in love.

Awww, so sweet! I love that she notes how it's something that's easily perceived when you see them together, because how spouses interact and come off as a couple really does say so much about how powerful their bond is. Actually, I would say how they "click" is more apparent from their chemistry than all of the other aspects Moody listed -- the common interests, same goals, loving one another's families. Sure, that's important, and awesome if that happens to be the case for you, but those factors are not necessarily integral to making a relationship work.

In other words, we all have different compatibilities that tie us to our partner. I have friends with polar opposite political views than their spouse (I don't know how they do it, but they do!), and friends who barely understand what their spouse does for a living.

In cases like that, I feel like it's more about understanding and supporting one another's interests and goals. And maybe being open to spending time with (maybe even just keeping the peace with!) one another's families -- even if we're not ready to declare our in-laws our new BFFs. You do your best, you know? I'm sure there are couples who are completely on the exact same wavelength most of the time, but many are not and simply love the other person enough to work through their differences. And they have other strengths and commonalities that balance it all out. In fact, I'd venture to guess there are more couples like that than the former!

Still, what Moody says Kate and William have make them very lucky. Not to mention ... even more compatible than they would be if all they had was chemistry. Sounds like it's even further confirmation that their fairy tale romance is actually the real deal!

What do you think makes Kate and William a great match? Where do you and your partner differ -- and see eye-to-eye on interests, life-views, sense of humor, etc.?

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth's Split Makes Us Feel So Many Feelings

Y'all, it's official. We told you about how Miley Cyrus Twitter-dumped Liam Hemsworth over the weekend. Now her rep confirms Miley's engagement with Liam is officially off. Dunzo. Finito. Other word in another language that means over and ends in the letter "o." Can someone name one? Whatever. The point is, that thing we kept forgetting was supposed to happen (Miley and Liam getting married someday) is NOT going to happen after all. What a relief! Not that we believed that wedding was ever actually going to take place, because don't make me laugh. But at least they've finally dropped the exhausting charade.

"Liam and Miley are completely done and broken up," an insider told Us Weekly. And now, as we sort through the shattered wreckage of this on-again, off-again love story, it is time for us to feel our feelings. Here are all the emotions we're having about the Miley-Liam split.

First of all, we're just tremendously grateful that this engagement is over and everyone is moving on.

I mean, what took you so long, Liam? How much of Miley's immature acting out could you take? And how dense could you be that this girl was just not that into you?

We don't understand why anyone would even attempt to marry Miley Cyrus. You do not marry Miley. You witness Miley.

Every time Miley and Liam told us they were TOTALLY still a couple, we were just so exasperated.

Seriously losing patience with these two. And then after that crazy VMAs performance? We just lost it.

 

So yes, we're extremely happy with Miley and Liam for finally arriving at this very mature conclusion, however they reached it.

Seriously, brought us to tears. But a warning to you, Miley and Liam. Do not, DO NOT!!! Attempt a reconciliation. Ever. Not even when you're in you're 80s. I am warning you.

How do you feel about Miley and Liam's split?
