Another Ke$ha music video, another Ke$ha music video roundup picture book! In her music video for Blow, which is aesthetically and auditorally (?) superior to We R Who We R, Ke$ha is seen in a Kla$$ier light; dining with unicorns in tuxedos, drinking champagne and getting into a laser gun battle with James Van Der Beek. There were a few cringeworthy moments in this video, mostly having to do with Ke$ha’s acting ability, but it’s nice to see she doesn’t take herself too seriously.
Side Note (To Ke$ha): Hey girl, stick to what you do best (i.e. drinking brown liquors, being dirty and using auto-tune) and leave the acting to the professionalbeeks.
There’s really nothing more to say about this, that wouldn’t be better expressed through pictures. I give you… a unicorn rainbow massacre!
With only days to go before the 83rd Annual Academy Awards, we’re seeing a plethora of parodies. However, one stands alone as the most captivating Oscar parody ever. There’s even kind of a storyline…
Okay, so here we are. A few weeks away from The 83rd Annual Academy Awards, set to air on Sunday, February 27th at 8/9c. And here I am, over 10 movies deep and overwhelmingly happy with the turnaround from last year’s shit-tastic movie turnout. I would just like to take a moment to thank the producers, directors and writers of the world for stepping it up. We all took a hit having to deal with fuckingAvatar (it’s one word) last year and I’m just glad that we won’t have to go through that again… until the sequel comes out that is… but if all goes according to plan, James Cameron should be walking into my net trap in 3..2..1
Anyway… here are my Oscar Predictions! I thought long and hard about them, so I hope you appreciate all the work I put into this… even though I know you won’t!
Follow hosts Anne Hathaway and James Franco into the land of the unknown!
The 83rd Annual Academy Awards Predictions MissBleecker Style!!!
The Big Five
Actor in a Leading Role
Javier Bardem in “Biutiful”
Jeff Bridges in “True Grit”
Jesse Eisenberg in “The Social Network”
Colin Firth in “The King’s Speech”
James Franco in “127 Hours”
My Prediction: While I did l<3ve Jesse Eisenberg's portrayal of Satan I'm going to have to go with the favorite (and only man whose name does not begin with a "J") in this category, Colin Firth. It's about time Colin got some recognition and there's no better way to win an award than stuttering, cursing like a sailor and filling your mouth with balls! Colin will and should win, but that was a give in…
Actress in a Leading Role
Annette Bening in “The Kids Are All Right”
Nicole Kidman in “Rabbit Hole”
Jennifer Lawrence in “Winter’s Bone”
Natalie Portman in “Black Swan”
Michelle Williams in “Blue Valentine”
My Choice: I should say that Annette Bening is my role model for life, but I don’t think she should win. I’m sure Nicole Kidman does a great job of trying to make her face emote, but she shouldn’t win. However, Jenny Lawrence was awesome at getting her face kicked in and Michelle Williams did an excellent job at faking it, and I would be happy if either of these bitches won… but they won’t.
My Prediction: Natalie Portman will win (even though she shouldn’t.) But she’s having a baby and she’s taking time off acting so I guess she should get a prize. Also, she’s engaged to the ballerino from “Black Swan,” not married, not sure if this means the Oscars Curse doesn’t apply to her or not. Either way, I don’t see their relationship lasting very long. I mean, he’s French for crying out loud!
Writing (Adapted Screenplay)
“127 Hours”
“The Social Network”
“Toy Story 3”
“True Grit”
“Winter’s Bone”
My Prediction: Aaron Sorkin for “The Social Network,” that’s it, wrap it up, it was beautiful. I would literally trade my first born child to be able to write as well as this man. Rumpelstiltskin, where you at?
Writing (Original Screenplay)
“Another Year”
“The Fighter”
“Inception”
“The Kids Are All Right”
“The King’s Speech”
My Choice: As a would-be screenwriter I knows that there’s a lot more that goes into great writing than dialogue and I’m sorry but “Inception” was just yummy. The concept, the storylines, the detail that went into that script was impeccable, and while the characters were a wee bit underdeveloped, they weren’t based on real people and who really cares about character arc when you’re 5 layers down? Am I right?
My Prediction: “The King’s Speech.” Whatever.
Directing
“Black Swan” Darren Aronofsky
“The Fighter” David O. Russell
“The King’s Speech” Tom Hooper
“The Social Network” David Fincher
“True Grit” Joel Coen and Ethan Coen
My Choice: I’m still really upset that Chrissy Nolan wasn’t nominated.
My Prediction: David Fincher for “The Social Network.” No one else really has a chance.
Best Picture
“Black Swan”
“The Fighter”
“Inception”
“The Kids Are All Right”
“The King’s Speech”
“127 Hours”
“The Social Network”
“Toy Story 3”
“True Grit”
“Winter’s Bone”
My Prediction: Okay here’s where things get interesting. A lot of these awards are very predictable and if the Crash fiasco of 2006 taught us anything, it’s that the Oscars do not like to be considered predictable. So I’m gonna break it down for you right now! “Black Swan,” too dark and leaves you with a bad taste of “huh?” in your mouth. “The Fighter” while good, is just another boxing movie that isn’t “Raging Bull.” “Inception,” too conceptual and apparently the Academy hates Christopher Nolan. “The Kids Are All Right,” too funny and lesbian-y. “127 Hours,” HA! “Toy Story 3,” it’s animated. “True Grit,” it’s a western and a re-make. “Winter’s Bone,” let’s face it, the Academy was just throwing the indie film a bone (pun intended).
Now that leaves me with two, The Globes sided with “The Social Network” while SAG picked “The King’s Speech.” What the Academy usually does is award best picture to the best screenplay and best director winner, but as my predictions say, screenplay is split since the films are in different writing categories. David Fincher would win over Tom Hooper any day because he’s just a better director, so it leaves me a little split. I do believe the safe choice would be “The King’s Speech,” however, I’m not one to play it safe and I’m willing to take a gamble and predict “The Social Network” as the winner. The Oscars are trying to reach to a younger audience this year, with hosts Anne Hathaway and James Franco and I think they’re going to side with the younger, more popular choice in “The Social Network.”
Rihanna‘s music video for S&M hit the web today, and I have to say, for someone, who’s not a huge RiRi fan, I am really diggin’ this jam. And by dig I mean I’ve already watched the video at least a dozen times, hoping that the replays of the kinktastic video wouldn’t deter my coworkers from being my friends! This video is hot, it was shot by Melina Matsoukas, who also directed Rihanna’s Rude Boy video. This chorus just melts me,
Cause I may be bad, but I’m perfectly good at it
Sex in the air, I don’t care, I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But chains and whips excite me
The music video depicts Rihanna, in all sorts of colorful getups, involved in a sadomasochistic relationship with the media. And as in any good S&M relationship, the couple that is Rihanna and the media hounds switch up the role play; in one scene, Rihanna is bound in cellophane at a press conference, in the next she’s taking her gagged pet, blogger Perez Hilton, out for a walk. In an interview with MTV’s Sway, Rihanna talks about her the song and says it’s not about sex, it’s a metaphor. From the looks of her video I’m assuming she’s calling the relationship between celebrity and media sadomasochistic. She describes the song as rebellious, in-your-face, and unapologetic, and that is exactly how I would describe The Futuristic Feminist.
What is the Futuristic Feminist? I’m glad you asked! The Futuristic Feminist, is a a trend, a new wave of female artist (mostly scene in popular music) that is overly sexual, ostentatious, witty, shocking and statement making. We’ve seen this trend is several female artists; Lady Gaga is probably the most direct in her approach, Nicki Minaj introduced the Hip Hop community into the future, Christina Aguilera tried to with Bionic (but she’s too old), even Ke$ha (with her We R Who We R music video) and Katy Perry (with her California Gurls style) have dabbled in Futuristic Feminism.
As we continue along the path of technology = life, we see this idea reflected in the styling of popular artists. We believe we are in the future, so the Futuristic Feminist styles herself as she would envision her futuristic form. Part feminist, part robot, she uses her sexuality as a means to gain attention for her cause; she is the literal definition of a Fembot. No doubt, this trend will continue, and I’m not going to talk about who started it (I know all the Little Monsters out there will swear it was Lady Gaga) but there were innovative female artists before her and there will be innovative female artists after her. The important thing is that these female artists will continue to try and one-up one another, which is really just a great thing for everybody. The drooling sperm-producers of the world will get to stare with open mouths and trousers at the hotness that is the Futuristic Feminist, and she’ll get to subtly implant her message across the globe! I love it when we’re sneaky!
This video is so gorgeous, of course it would have it’s own gallery!
Let’s talk Oscar Nominations! The front-runner in the race this year is, no surprise here, The King’s Speech with 12 nominations (that’s 1 shy of a baker’s dozen!) The Coen Brother’s hog the awards, yet again, with 10 nominations for their western True Grit. And two of my favorite films this year, The Social Network and *am I dreaming?* Inception come in third with 8 nominations each. I have to say, I’m super happy with this year’s selection. Not only was it a great year for film but Avatar was not nominated! So even if my least favorite film wins Best Picture (I’m looking at you 127 Hours) I still won’t want to gauge my eyes out and puncture my ear drums for fear of hearing James Cameron make, yet another, douchey acceptance speech! You’re not the king of anything asshole!
Anyway… here’s how my predictions did! (Bolded films are nominated)
Best Picture
Inception
Toy Story 3
The King’s Speech
True Grit
Black Swan
The Social Network
The Fighter
The Kids Are All Right
Winter’s Bone
127 Hours
10/10 – Yeah right, Like The Town was ever in the running!
Best Director
Christopher Nolan – Inception Darren Aronofsky – Black Swan
David Fincher – The Social Network
Tom Hooper – The King’s Speech
David O. Russell – The Fighter
4/5 Missed True Grit – Joel Coen and Ethan Coen
Poor Chrissy Nolan can’t catch a break. With The Dark Knight being snubbed for the major awards in 2009, he doesn’t get a director’s nod in 2011 either. *Sad face emoticon* Not that the other directors don’t deserve to be in the running but I think with the Coen Brothers already sharing 4 Oscars, they could show poor Chrissy some sympathy.
Best Original Screenplay
Christopher Nolan – Inception
David Seidler – The King’s Speech
Mark Heyman, Andres Heinz and John J. McLaughlin – Black Swan Stuart Blumberg and Lisa Cholodenko – The Kids Are All Right
Paul Attanasio, Lewis Colich, Eric Johnson, Scott Silverand Paul Tamasy – The Fighter
4/5 Missed Another Year – Mike Leigh
It wouldn’t be the Academy if they didn’t shake things up and throw a bone to a little international indie film. It won’t win, but it’s a polite nomination.
Best Adapted Screenplay
Aaron Sorkin – The Social Network
Simon Beaufoy and Danny Boyle – 127 Hours
Joel Coen & Ethan Coen – True Grit
Debra Granik and Anne Rosellini – Winter’s Bone
David Lindsay-Abaire – Rabbit Hole Dark Horse: Michael Arndt, story by John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton and Lee Unkrich – Toy Story 3
4/5 – My dark horse selection actually made it into this category. Good for you Toy Story 3! It’s very rare that an animated feature gets nominated for anything other than animated feature!
Best Actor
Jesse Eisenberg – The Social Network
Colin Firth – The King’s Speech
James Franco – 127 Hours
Jeff Bridges – True Grit
Ryan Gosling – Blue Valentine
4/5 Missed Javier Bardem in – Biutiful
2008′s best actor winner and baby daddy of Academy Award Winner Penelope Cruz’s fetus sneaks into the ranks with his foreign language film.
Best Actress
Nicole Kidman – Rabbit Hole
Natalie Portman – Black Swan
Michelle Williams – Blue Valentine
Jennifer Lawrence – Winter’s Bone
Annette Bening – The Kids Are All Right
5/5
Best Supporting Actor
Christian Bale – The Fighter
Geoffrey Rush – The King’s Speech
Jeremy Renner – The Town
Mark Ruffalo – The Kids Are All Right
John Hawkes – Winter’s Bone
5/5
Best Supporting Actress
Amy Adams – The Fighter
Hailee Steinfeld – True Grit
Melissa Leo – The Fighter
Mila Kunis – Black Swan Helena Bonham Carter – The King’s Speech
4/5 Missed Jacki Weaver – Animal Kingdom
To be honest I hadn’t heard of Animal Kingdom, accept that it got Jacki Weaver a SAG nod. I don’t want to say I’m surprised that Mila wasn’t nominated; while her *cough* (oral) *cough* performance was good, it certainly wasn’t Oscar worthy. However, the biggest indication that Mila would have been nominated for the Oscar were her nominations in the same category for both Golden Globes and SAG, they’re usually not that off.
I did fairly well if I don’t say so myself, 40/45 correct predictions! Give me the weekend to catch up on the films and I’ll have my full winners prediction list by Monday! You’ll be swimming in your office Oscar pool!
It’s almost time for Mo’Nique to announce the 2011 Oscar Nominations! And while all the agents, publicists and managwhores will eagerly await the announcement tomorrow, Jan 25th at 5:30AM Hollywoodland Time, I will still be sleeping, knowing that I already knew who was going to get a nod. Here are my predictions for The Big Five, aka the only awards that really matter to anyone.

I knew that’d be enough to draw you sickos in! It’s true, Nadya Suleman aka the Octomom has made a fetish video in which she spanks (rather daintily actually) radio personality Tattoo. I found it hard to sit through this video for several reasons, (1) Homegirl needs some acting lessons, she’s hardly believable as a person let alone a skanked up leather-clad babysitter. (2) You have eight kids and you don’t know how to spank correctly? For someone dressed up like a dominatrix wannabe you better be able to crack the whip with some feeling. (3) I wanted to jump into the video Mary Poppins style and handle the whip myself because all that whining and raspy baby talk was making me want to stab my eardrums with knitting needles. And (4) Who says that a fetish video has to be such low quality? What, would it kill the producer to spring for some lighting, or maybe a tripod? I guess all the production money went to those killer costumes and amazing ball pit.
But I guess a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do. She doesn’t have any baby daddies to scam for child support and lord knows the new health care bill isn’t going to pay for all that collagen… and silicone… and tummy tucks. I just can’t wait until these kids grow up and see the publicity hell storm they were born into. Can Angelina Jolie please come adopt them now?! They’re still young, they probably won’t even be able to tell the difference.
Every little girl goes through a stage where she begins to outgrow her Barbies. It usually coincides with the time that she realizes that Barbies have no body hair, genitals, or physiologically possible proportions. During this time every little girl, whether they want to admit it or not, plays with their Barbies in a way that the Mattel makers would not intend for them to be played with (little girls make their Barbies have sex.) But one little girl, went above and beyond in her pre-pubescent Barbie doll playing days, and that little girl was named Mariel Clayton. Though it should be said, artist Mariel Clayton never actually outgrew her Barbies, she just invented fun, new ways to play with them.
Mariel started out with an interest in travel photography and after what she describes as a “sublime experience” in a Japanese toy shop she became enthralled with photographing miniatures, specifically Barbies with a feminist, homicidal, psycho-sexual edge. Mariel describes her fascination with the Barbie doll,
Barbie was designed as the woman that every girl would want to be, and that every man would want to fuck. Her body design, the blonde hair, the tiny waist, the perky tits – all part of this new feminine ideal to be held up as a guiding beacon of womanhood. and yet – outside of an aesthetically enhanced sector of society, the number of women who actually look like that naturally is decidedly small. The Sex life of the Girl with no Genitals. Definitely NSFW.
Considering the anatomy and design of the Barbie and placing it in situations ranging from mass murder, cannibalism, sodomy, and abortion creates an uncomfortable dissonance that is just way too far out and groovy for words. Mariel describes her message,
I don’t generally like to be all moralistic and preachy, there’s enough people out there who get off on the sound of their own voice. But every now and then some things I notice just need to be processed in a different way.
You can order prints of Mariel’s work, which can be printed on anything from greeting cards to large canvas mounts. Her print work ranges from $60-$160, which is a bargain considering how big a conversation piece these puppies are, perfect for any cocktail party. I think I’ll get a triptych to hang in my bathroom!
Here’s a little gallery of my favorite pieces as seen on her website. Some NSFW
Welcome to a special Golden Globes edition of RadFem! Last night, while you were all tucked into your beds wishing you were at the famed Golden Globes After Party so was our most recent RadFem. TMZ caught the always Kla$$y Lucy Danziger flailing about outside the party after being denied for celebrating roaring 20s style!
Name: Paz de la Huerta (it means “peace of the orchard” in Spanish)
Birthday: September 3, 1984
Claim To Fame: After playing several small rolls that required her to be naked she finally got her break on Boardwalk Empire as Lucy Danziger, a slightly bigger roll that requires her to be naked.
RadFem Worthy: Not that I’m being biased or anything but Lucy Danziger is undoubtably my favorite character on Boardwalk Empire. She always keeps it Kla$$y meaning she never wears a bra, she uses her sexuality to get whatever she wants and she’s dumb as a rock, but she does get to wear pretty clothes… when she is wearing clothes.
Fun Fact: According to IMDB she was born with a recurring cystic hygroma which looks like (don’t click) this. Apparently it grows back and needs to be surgically removed every few years; she’s had seven surgeries for it since birth. I’m glad she has that shit under control now. Gross.
Here’s the best video you will ever see. Watch as Loose Lucy gets denied access to the after party because homegirl’s been sampling the bathtub gin, stumble backwards into a limo after repeating “I can do it,” falls, rips her dress, falls out of her dress (I told you she NEVER wears a bra), and then graciously autographs something for a fan with said breast still out of said ripped dress. TMZ decided to blur out her left tit but if you really want to see her nekkid just watch anything she’s ever been in (except Enter The Void if you have epilepsy.) I envy her courage!
So the lead singer and frontman of Maroon 5, Adam Levine, took it all off to help raise testicular cancer awareness and to encourage men to get screened. And I couldn’t think of any better way to make gay men and women want to get checked out! If the goal of these photographs is to encourage men to get screened then I think they’ve failed because these are clearly intended for a female audience. I don’t know, maybe the people behind them hope that the girlfriends, wives and platonic female friends of the world will bitch and nag the men of their lives into getting screened because Adam Levine got naked in that one add and we think ball cancer awareness is sexy!
I just have two words: I WANT! I believe it was William Shakespeare who said it best:
See how he leans his junk upon her hand?
Oh, that I were a glove upon that hand
That I might touch that junk!
I’m really just thinking about that poor hand model that’s bent down behind Adam assuming the rusty trombone position. She looks like she needs a break…
THIS GLOB IS RAUNCHY; BE CAUTIOUS OF PARENTS, GRANDPARENTS, CHILDREN, RELATIVES OF ANY KIND, BOSSES, COWORKERS, TEACHERS, STUDENTS, HUSBANDS, WIVES, SIGNIFICANT OTHERS (OR HOWEVER YOU CHOOSE TO LABEL YOUR UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIP), PETS, PLANTS AND/OR TV DINNERS READING THIS GLOB OVER YOUR SHOULDER! TURN AROUND BITCH!
