Paula Deen and Anthony Bourdain are at war

Paula-Deen-Bourdain

I apologize in advance that this post will not feature a video of Deen and Bourdain wrestling to the death in a big-ass vat of butter. Nope, all that happened is that Anthony Bourdain called Paula Deen “the worst, most dangerous person in America … plus, her food sucks” in an interview for TV Guide. The No Reservations star also slammed Deen’s fellow Food Network chefs Rachael Ray (“Does she even cook anymore?”), Sandra Lee (“I hate her works on this planet, but she is not someone to be dismissed, clearly.”), and Guy Fieri (“I look at Guy and I just think, ‘Jesus, I’m glad that’s not me’”).

First of all, can we just revel for a second in “I hate her works on this planet?” Thank you. Seriously, who knows how many other galaxies Sandra Lee is ‘botting out on right now.

Deen has fired back with a viscous stream of cholesterol and words!  READ FULL STORY »

Brooklyn movie theater offers gourmet meals. Should other cinemas follow suit?

Earlier this summer, my colleague Sandra Gonzalez aired her grievances about movie theater food smugglers and what constitutes as acceptable meal etiquette (candy, snacks) and what doesn’t (a cheeseburger). While the great smuggle debate still rages on, a movie theater in New York has made their stance on dinner and a movie clear: They go together like popcorn and soda. Except in this case, popcorn is deviled eggs and soda is sparkling wine. Bon appetit! READ FULL STORY »

'Glee': A Warbler's life involves evading Darren Criss fans, and backstage grape-eating contests

Ever wonder what it would be like to be a Warbler on tour? Well, Titus Makin, Jr. is giving Glee fans a taste of it with The Titus Show, the new four-part web series debuting today on imbee.com (free log-in required). In an exclusive clip from episode 2, which shows the Warblers trapped in a hotel by fangirls waiting to catch a glimpse of Darren Criss and some members engaging in a backstage grape-eating contest. I wonder how many times a day grapes are tossed at concert venues or on TV and film sets with craft services.

Rupert Murdoch and Jonnie Marbles: The latest, but not the greatest, in pieing history

Moments before attempting to shove a foam pie in the face of embattled News Corp CEO Rupert Murdoch, a British comic and activist known online as Jonnie Marbles tweeted, “It is a far better thing that I do now than I have ever done before #splat.”

Quoting A Tale of Two Cities‘ martyr Sydney Carton to justify a pie in the face demonstrates gross delusions of grandeur, but there is some historical precedence for the provocative act. A pie in the face may have its origins in the slapstick films of Mack Sennett, Laurel & Hardy, and the Three Stooges, and reached its zenith in the hands of the late Soupy Sales. But in addition to being a celebratory tradition for winning baseball teams, it’s also evolved into a symbol of political defiance. It’s the ultimate expression of helpless frustration: I can’t change the media or the government or that lifeguard who keeps me off the kiddie-slide, but I can make him look foolish in front of everyone!  READ FULL STORY »

Dairy Queen treats Mary Lou Retton like a pinata -- no metaphor intended

Maybe it’s just the excitement of today’s Olympic announcement coupled with the oppressive city heat that has me craving ice cream by 9 a.m. each morning, but this Dairy Queen commercial hits all the right spots. Tastebuds. Funny bone. Nostalgia… muscle. I give it a solid 9.8. What about you, you chocolate-loving East German judge? READ FULL STORY »

Jean-Claude Van Damme is super cool in Coors Light ad

“Have you ever seen a man penguin walk after an intense mating season? Have you?” — Jean-Claude Van Damme

The Muscles from Brussels and his frozen jeans are pitching Coors Light in a new commercial for British beer drinkers. Bravo. Though — and I’m not complaining — his pants aren’t that tight.

'Park and Rec' curmudgeon Ron Swanson is what he eats

When the Emmy nominations come out on July 14, Nick Offerman’s name better be announced for Best Supporting Actor. So help me, Ayn Rand. His government-hating bureaucrat Ron Swanson on Parks and Rec is not only the most lovable curmudgeon since Archie Bunker, but he’s the greatest inspiration for viral art going. Take a look at the latest piece of NBC-sanctioned art dedicated to our favorite carnivore, below… READ FULL STORY »
