Well, Adele Does Have a Lot in Common With Mrs. Doubtfire

When Adele first burst onto the scene we all recognized that she was a tremendous talent with a knack for shaming her exes with soul, but what we failed to recognize was her resemblance to Robin Williams as Mrs. Doubtfire.

Oh the things you didn’t know were missing from your life. A new blog on Tumblr called What if Adele was Mrs. Doubtfire has finally brought it to our attention. The site has Adele on Euphegenia’s body and then Doubtfire’s face on Adele’s body, which is hilarious because Adele does tend to dress and carry herself like an elderly British nanny.

Tumblr Has A Binder Full Of Jokes About Mitt Romney

A Tumblr, Facebook and Twitter account have already been dedicated to Mitt Romney’s comments during Tuesday night’s debates. Speaking about his difficulties finding qualified female candidates to work for him in Massachusetts, he said:

“I went to a number of women’s groups and said, ‘Can you help us find folks,’ and they brought us whole binders full of women.”

Christina Aguilera Makes Solid Case For Weight Gain In Imaginary Comments

Comments thought to be made by Christina Aguilera to Billboard magazine about her weight gain in 2002 during her Stripped tour with Justin Timberlake turned out to be false, according to her rep.

Disappointing because I legitimately thought for a second that she’d made some really great points and illustrated a non-hypocritical message. The quotes, which may have originated on Tumblr, referred to a frantic meeting her label had to discuss her new look.

“During the promotion of my album Stripped, I got tired of being a skinny, white girl, I am Ecuadorian but people felt so safe passing me off as a skinny, blue-eyed white girl,” she said in the excellently crafted fake interview.

“The next time my label saw me, I was heavier, darker and full of piercings! Let me tell you, that wasn’t an easy pill for them to swallow. I had gained about 15 pounds during promotion.” Continue reading “Christina Aguilera Makes Solid Case For Weight Gain In Imaginary Comments” →

The Best Of ‘Dog Shaming,’ On Tumblr

A Tumblr page dedicated to dogs standing next to handwritten confessions (everything from crayon addictions to eating the crotch out of jeans to stealing ice cream from children), is doing well this month.

So well that it spawned a Cat Shaming site, which is not nearly as funny. Continue reading “The Best Of ‘Dog Shaming,’ On Tumblr” →

Mo Farah Gets His Own Meme, A Running-Themed Tumblr

This has been an exciting Olympics for the internet. First we obsessed over Ryan Lochte’s face and abs, then McKayla Maroney’s “not impressed” face, now it’s “Mo Farah Running Away From Things.”

Farah is the British long-distance runner who won two gold medals on Saturday in the 10,000 meter and 5,000 meter races.

He is also an expecting father of twins who trains in Oregon, famous for a post-win dance called the “Mobot.”

His expression while running is the subject of a new Tumblr by graphic designer Luke “Spee” Harvey that has him being chased by Lion King wildebeests, Teletubbies, dinosaurs and more. Continue reading “Mo Farah Gets His Own Meme, A Running-Themed Tumblr” →

McKayla Maroney Is Not Impressed With You

Scientific American posted an article yesterday called “Why Bronze Medalists Are Happier Than Silver Winners.” As you can imagine, for silver medalists it has a lot to do with coming so close to winning the gold, whereas Bronze medalists are just happy to have placed at all.

See the all-around in gymnastics, where Russians Viktoria Komova and Aliya Mustafina came in second and third.

Mustafina, who is generally called a “diva” by everyone including Bob Costas, held her bronze proudly, smiling and waving while her teammate Komova unsuccessfully tried to hold back the tears.

Another case is McKayla Maroney, a strong favorite to win vault who lost to Romania’s Sandra Izbașa and made a very memorable face during her medal ceremony…

Hip-Hop Artist Frank Ocean Admits To Loving A Man

Frank Ocean of Odd Future (one part Tyler, The Creator who says “faggot” 213 times on his solo album, Goblin) has come out in a letter/screenshot of a TextEdit document posted on his Tumblr.

Actually, we’re assuming he’s coming out as either gay or bisexual since he writes about his first love who happened to be a man. “4 summers ago, I met somebody. I was 19 years old. He was too,” the letter says.

Ocean is arguably the first notable person in hip-hop/rap to claim a place in the LBGT community (trans man Katastrophe could fight for that title). Continue reading “Hip-Hop Artist Frank Ocean Admits To Loving A Man” →

Baby Photo Alert – Blue Ivy Not-So-Hard-Knock-Life Carter

The royal R&B baby reveal day is finally here, after, well, not that long. On a Tumblr page dedicated specifically to their daughter, Beyonce and Jay-Z wrote the message,

“We welcome you to share in our joy. Thank you for respecting our privacy during this beautiful time in our lives.”

So far, they’ve posted five pictures. Two of the baby with its thick quaife of Indian emo hair, one of its hand and one with each parent, both smiling.

Perhaps they know they just birthed a double diva baby, whose name they just filed to trademark, mostly to avoid other greedy bastards from capitalizing on the “Blue Ivy Carter” moniker. (Two applicants already attempted but were rightfully rejected)

Ke$ha’s Hairy Website, ‘Put Your Beard In My Mouth’

We all know Ke$ha likes beards, or at least we know she talks about them a lot. Until now I wasn’t sure that her beard obsession was real. It seemed like another gimmick. Like when she says she digs through the garbage to look for potential outfits. Okay, that could be true as well but this beard thing, it’s confirmed.

She actually has a Tumblr page with the title “put your beard in my mouth, that’s an order.” It may be a quote inspired by Conan O’Brien but it truly is a website encouraging men to subm it pictures of their beards for her viewing pleasures.

Ke$ha even attended the New York City beard competition in Greenpoint, Brooklyn to “get inventory” as she put it, and to flirt with burly men who desperately need to SHAVE.

(I don’t understand this fetish. Beards should be illegal in all 50 states. Puerto Rico too)

The ‘Leave Britney Alone’ Guy Is Manly And Does Porn Now?

Everybody remembers the internet sensation Chris Crocker, no? He rocked the viral world with his weeping gay homage to Britney Spears in 2007, wearing a cropped wig and crying vigorously/hysterically screaming to “LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!”

Well since you now remember him, if you did ever forget him then here I am to remind you. And how would I do that? What relevant bit of Chris Crocker news do I have?…

Other R.E.M News – Michael Stipe’s Thingy (NSFW)

This news comes to me after the announcement of R.E.M’s breakup. But this is completely unrelated news, oddly.

I guess at the end of July Michael Stipe intentionally posted a picture of his 51 year-old “Man On The Moon,” so to speak.

The “picture” actually came in the form of a quick-flash video of Stipe’s everyday routine and home via Tumblr, titled “Confessions Of A Michael Stipe.”

For some reason he felt the need to include his naked hippie-shaft, in the vid. Please DON’T CLICK CONTINUE unless you’ve truly contemplated what you’re about to see…
