| Snap This: Dakota Fanning Graduates High School Posted: 07 Jun 2011 11:29 AM PDT
Despite having an incredibly busy acting career — her last few movies were Coraline, The Runawys, and appearances in Twilight: New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn, Part 1 — Fanning managed to stay on the varsity cheerleading squad, and she was voted homecoming queen two years in a row. Not to sound like a teary parent, but wasn’t it literally just yesterday that she was that creepy alien-human kid in the Taken miniseries, or Sean Penn‘s adorable kid? Unlike other actors her age who opted to abandon schooling or had a private tutor, Fanning has really made sure that she gets the quintessential high-school experience. After all, she’s only 17, so she could have a few more years of high-school dramas ahead of her (or college-aged ones), so it pays to know what the screenwriters were going for. Then again, there are rumors that Fanning got accepted to my alma mater, the Gallatin School of Individualized Study at NYU, and could be attending there in the fall as part of the class of 2015.

| 4 More Ways Your Prom Night Can End In Disaster Posted: 07 Jun 2011 11:27 AM PDT There are a lot of things for parents to worry when their kids go to the prom. Drinking! Sex! Tulle! Sure, kids could be having drunken hook-ups at any time, but it’s the formalwear that really seems to sends parents’ stress levels over the edge. And while many towns are banding together to make sure teens have sober, pure prom nights, if these proms gone wrong have taught us anything, parents have a lot more to worry about.

Leon suffered from progeria, a disease that causes the body to age rapidly. Also an artist, Leon was responsible for the images in this video. R.I.P., sir. (via) Post from: Crushable  |
| Textual Healing: Is The Second Date Phone Call Better Than A Text? Posted: 07 Jun 2011 10:36 AM PDT
A few months ago, I challenged myself to approach texting and dating in a different way. That meant using texts less and getting to know a guys in person or on the phone. I know, I know, talking on the phone seems like a foreign concept to young adults today. And, as the weeks went by I wondered if I would ever meet someone who would call me up to chat and make plans. But then I did and it made me realize how compelling a phone call can be. When I meet guys, I warn them — don’t text me, you don’t know where your words might end up. But one night I met a brave soul who texted me the next day:
Here’s some advice: flattery will get you everywhere. We ended up planning our first date by text — totally acceptable per my rules. It was a great first date. But when it came time to schedule a time to see each other again, we tried to meet up while both hanging with friends, exchanging those texts that go something like, “Where are you?” “What are you up to?” and “When are you heading home?” I ended up going home early — thwarting our plans. It’s easy to cancel, dodge or back out of plans when you’re texting but, as I would soon learn, it’s not as easy to say no on the phone. And phone calls have an additional bonus: when you’re listening the tone of someone’s voice and enjoying some fun banter, you don’t want to say no. You want the conversation to continue. As you may have guessed, after our second attempt at meeting went bust, I got a phone call. And it was lovely. If I had any doubt I wanted to spend more time with this guy, it was gone after the call — which ended with us making plans. I know it’s not always this clear-cut, but in this case, the second date phone call was better than a text. I guess that means that I disagree with these dating bloggers. But that’s okay. In this instance it worked, but I need more research to reliably say second date phone calls are the way to go. What do you think? Would you rather talk to a guy on the phone or do you avoid phone calls at all costs? How often do you talk to your dates by text before you meet up or in between dates? Leave your experiences in the comments below and you might see it featured in an upcoming installment of Textual Healing.

| Love Lessons from ‘The Bachelorette’: Taking Off the Mask Still Won’t Help You Posted: 07 Jun 2011 09:49 AM PDT
Dance is the language of love. Well, that and the word “amazing.” Ashley and Ben C. go on a one-on-one date to a dance studio so Ashley can teach him how to dance. I think he’s kind of hunchbacky when he tries to dance until I realize he has microphone pack stuck to him. Sorry, Ben C. It turns out that the dance was actually part of a flashmob, and because people like my mother watch this show Ashley explains to the camera what a flashmob is. Ashley convinces Ben to dance with her in a public park, even though he’s clearly mortified, and then the world’s saddest flashmob starts. Also, I hate that “G6″ song, so maybe I’m biased. Regardless, Ben seems like a really solid dude, and he’s so sweet for going along with Ashley’s idea (which I suspect was actually a producer’s idea considering how many times she mentions the name of the flashmob company). And then that band who sings the G6 song shows up to do another annoying song, and they’re wearing matching ties, and I hate them. I have a feeling that the show just books whatever artists they can get and the Bachelor/ettes just go along with it and pretend to be a fan. Unrealistic idealism is romantic. After Ben and Ashley’s date, he tells her that he wants a love so magical and special that it echoes through the ages and says something about love living in a bubble. I don’t know what the hell he’s talking about, but it sounds like something a 12-year-old would say. But this whole show is something a 12-year-old would say, so there you go. Ashley gives him a rose, obviously. If you try to make an emotional connection and fail, try a gimmick. Jeff The Mask Guy finally takes his mask off. (That’s him in the picture.) He has a whole stupid leadup monologue about how he was wearing the mask so he could make a connection with Ashley that wasn’t about looks, and obviously that failed since he is in the group date and not the one-on-one, so he resorts to his trump card: removing the mask. He takes it off, and the editors cut to stock footage of a squirrel, which is hilarious. Ashley’s first response is “he looks older than I thought,” but she probably realizes that’s mean and adds that he’s cute. They go back into the room and the other guys rib Jeff. Somebody makes a Samson joke, which … hair, guys. But good try! When women say they love a man who can make them laugh, they don’t actually mean it. For the group date, they go to a comedy club and comedian Jeff Ross, aka head roaster, comes out. He announces that the guys will be roasting Ashley. And that they will be doing it in front of a sold out audience (aka some unemployed actors who are making scale for laughing at bad jokes on camera). Since most of this segment was horrible, I will print some of the actual funny lines. “Zorro’s unemployed brother” – what Jeffrey Ross calls Jeff The NoLongerMask Man “You’ve had all of fifteen minutes to talk to this girl and it’s like, here’s my face, you have small boobs.” – Ben F., about how Jeff made a “Ashley has small tits” joke “This is a roast, not ‘compliment Ashley night.’” – William, who has a point, even though the roasting idea was just fucking cruel for everyone involved. And my point is proved: we cut to Ashley, who is crying alone in the back of the theater like Jennifer Aniston on the cover of a tabloid. I think it’s majorly douchey to ask these guys to insult Ashley and then let her lash out at them for doing it. The whole show is just a circus, and it’s a boring circus. Give me a Rock of Love circus any day. Post from: Crushable Love Lessons from ‘The Bachelorette’: Taking Off the Mask Still Won’t Help You  |
| Paris Hilton Tries to Blame Her Reality Show’s Failure On a Technical Glitch Posted: 07 Jun 2011 09:38 AM PDT
It looks like the audience agreed with Barbara: The World According to Paris‘ premiere episode garnered only 400,0o0 viewers, which is almost half the number of people who watched the premiere of Aubrey O’Day‘s reality show. Paris is claiming that the problem with the show is that a “technical error” caused the program to air at the wrong time, but a spokesperson from Oxygen denies the claim. “The show premiered at 10 p.m. on Wednesday, June 1 as was promoted,” a rep told PopEater. “There were no technical mistakes. We look forward to a very exciting run of the series.” While Oxygen is keeping it classy, there are plenty of whispers throughout the entertainment industry that The World According to Paris‘ failure might be the death knell for Paris’ stardom. A marketing manager told PopEater, “She has been replaced by [the] Teen Moms and Snooki. She would have been better off not doing a new reality show at all then doing one that proves no one cares.” Another expert said, “Paris’ second season on that MTV show where she found a new friend was a disaster and she hasn’t been able to sell a magazine cover since the Kardashians arrived.” If Paris was a nice person or had done anything legit with her career, I might actually feel sorry for her right now. But I don’t. Post from: Crushable Paris Hilton Tries to Blame Her Reality Show’s Failure On a Technical Glitch  |

New York’s theaters may not be as vindictive, but they do have a funny set of ads where they replace movie dialogue with people whispering as they make their way in after the movie’s started. You gotta give movie theaters props for going the comedy route to remind people of simple courtesies. Post from: Crushable Video: This Is Why You Don’t Text During the Movie  |

While you hear stories of celebrities who gave up college or even high school in order to pursue acting and became multimillionaries without ever having to hit the books again, it’s nice to see someone who’s able to juggle both. Dakota Fanning 
Text messaging is often the fastest way to communicate with friends and acquaintances, but it's not always the best one. Especially when it comes to texting with guys. Here at Crushable we aim to help you sift through all the subtext and emerge relatively unscathed – with a little help from our friend Amanda Ernst. 
This show is determined to destroy me. I get the two hour running length for the premiere – where we’re introduced to fifty people, half of whom disappear – or the finale, but every single episode is running two hours, and it’s killing me. As 
Even though her place as America’s most recognizable airhead has been usurped by the likes of Kim Kardashian and Kendra Wilkinson, Paris Hilton is not going down without a fight. Her new show, The World According to Paris (or, as Chrissy Teigen 
Who said movie theaters don’t have a great sense of humor? Austin’s Alamo Drafthouse theater has had a strict no-talking-during-the-movie policy that stretches back to 1997; with the advent of cell phones, they updated it to include no texting. One young woman kept texting even after she got two warnings, so she was booted out of the theater. She left the Drafthouse this expletive-filled voicemail claiming she had only been trying to find her seat and defending her American right to text in a movie theater — not that she was, but if she wanted to. They turned it into a PSA that they now run before every R-rated movie. (Warning: Language.)
It was fun to hear what Grandma Wrinkles had to say last week, but I missed Danielle Staub’s calculated ability to never mince words. On this week’s episode, the ladies celebrated Thanksgiving, with insane amounts of food, a mechanical bull, and lots of gossip. I have to say, I am Team Giudice so far this season. On this episode, we saw that Teresa introduced her brother at the housewarming party, I think that Joey Gorga is just looking for some spotlight, and he is pissed that he hasn’t gotten it until now. Teresa’s not in charge of editing, and it’s not her fault Bravo wasn’t interested in her brother and wife until this season. And Melissa’s card, wishing her luck in her “redone” home, was unbelievably passive-aggressive. But, that’s just my opinion.
