In Other Blogs, 2.29.08: A Leapin’ Friday WTF Edition

Posted by Nicole Ankowski



How can we not begin with Scanner, and this little item of note: Kate Beckinsale has a special pet name for her privates...

No, there are no vajayjays in Beckinsale’s world…only the lucky few can gain entrance to the “Pharoah’s Tomb.” In her own words: “My best feature is unfortunately a private matter. Although I'm told it is spectacular."

Pharoah's Tomb! To be fair, she also mouthed the word “twat.” We love a girl who can talk dirty, but still compare her junk to ancient Egyptian architecture. Oh, the British!

Also, it turns out that the Southwest Airlines-scandalized “too hot to fly” girls are actually not that hot; meet the gay twin acrobats of Columbia University; Ms. Pac-Man – feminist hero!; a Hillary-Barack Choose-Your-Own-Adventure; and ride along with a Mother Jones journalist as she goes undercover with sugar daddies. Delicious!

The Screengrab
reviews the latest films, like Chop Shop and City of Men, and looks forward to Iron Man starring Robert Downey Jr. (“as Jon Favreau is deftly proving with each new glimpse of his upcoming Iron Man flick, Robert Downey Jr. is even more awesome when he’s the one causing things to explode.”) We also look at the five most intriguing SxSW trailers; five films about the year 1968; and a brief guide to this year’s Academy Award’s outrages. Nobody puts Whoopi in a corner; nobody!

And the Nerve Video Blog can’t tell if Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman in the same room make us feel faint because of their combined hotness, or because they are the most uncharismatic interviewees alive. Plus: The Daily Show rocks; the “Baseball Boogie” rolls;  Starbucks closes; Barack Obama drops it like it’s hot. Or at least like it’s lukewarm.
