Gary Busey Has Been to Heaven and Thinks You’re Doing It Wrong

Last updated on: March 30, 2012 at 11:48 am By Lilit Marcus

Gary Busey is one of my absolute favorite reality TV personalities, because he is a winning combination of crazy and nice. Even though he’s kind of nutty and would probably drive me crazy in real life, he’s engaging on TV and is eminently quotable. (Ex: He is obsessed with acronyms and says that Bible stands for Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.) In an interview, actor Curtis Armstrong (he played Booger in the Revenger of the Nerds movies) told an amazing... Read more

‘Book of Mormon’ Wants Tim Tebow In the Audience

Last updated on: March 27, 2012 at 4:54 pm By Lilit Marcus

I don’t follow any sports (with the weird exception of the Olympics, which I categorize as a reality show), but even I had heard that Christian QB Tim Tebow was switching teams and joining the New York Jets. Although the team plays in New Jersey, his proximity to the Big Apple has plenty of businesses hoping for a Tebow-related boost and delis all over town are coming up with Tebow-related sandwich names. There’s one surprising offer for Tebow, though: The... Read more

Shaquille O’Neal Drops Some Hebrew on The Daily Show

Last updated on: March 27, 2012 at 1:30 pm By Lilit Marcus

The other night, Jon Stewart interviewed basketball great Shaquille O’Neal on The Daily Show. Near the end of the interview, Jon mentioned that his son loves Shaq and wants to be a pro basketball player, and Jon wanted to know how he was going to break it to his son that Jews aren’t known for their basketball skills. Shaq replied, “Tell him Uncle Shaq said baruch hashem.” That expression means anything from “Good luck!” to “Thank G-d,” but its usage... Read more

When Queen (the Band, Not the Person) Met Passover

Last updated on: March 27, 2012 at 12:10 pm By Lilit Marcus

Passover is coming up, which means two things: one, no carbs, and two, cheesy Passover-themed videos. This clip of a Passover-themed “Bohemian Rhapsody” is, as you may have guessed, one of the latter. Read more

Giuliana Rancic Says Breast Cancer Was Part of God’s Plan for Her

Last updated on: March 25, 2012 at 11:12 am By Lilit Marcus

Although I never liked Giuliana Rancic‘s style of red carpet interviews, I’ve become more and more impressed with the brave and classy way she has handled her breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. In an interview with Glamour, Giuliana and her husband Bill Rancic talk about how they supported each other and strengthened their marriage during Giuliana’s illness. One of the topics that comes up is how Giuliana believes that it’s her duty as a public figure to talk about her... Read more

Austin Scarlett’s Project Runway Collection Was Inspired by Hasidic Fashion

Last updated on: March 25, 2012 at 12:02 pm By Lilit Marcus

Although I didn’t agree with all the choices on the recent season of Project Runway: All-Stars (Jerell overstaying the hell out of his welcome, Angela Lindvall being a robot), I have loved Austin Scarlett ever since his season and was thrilled when he made it to the finale. His collection was inspired by “a vampire who lives in Williamsburg and sometimes borrows clothes from her Hasidic dandy friend,” which makes no sense to anyone who isn’t Austin but was certainly...

FGP Celebrity Quote of the Week: Aubrey Plaza Dresses Like a Catholic Schoolgirl

Last updated on: March 25, 2012 at 11:13 am By Lilit Marcus

Aubrey Plaza is adorable and hilarious on Parks and Recreation, but she’s also both of those things in this month’s issue of Glamour. When asked about her personal style, she said, “I went to Catholic school, so a plaid skirt, a button-down, and leather shoes were all I know. That’s still how I dress.” Well, that might be true in her personal life, but she clearly has a stylist for red carpet events because in photos like this one she’s... Read more

The Duggar Family Made a Video in Support of Rick Santorum

Last updated on: March 25, 2012 at 3:56 pm By Lilit Marcus

The Duggar family has made no secret of their appreciation of presidential candidate Rick Santorum. They have campaigned for him and appeared at press events in his honor and eldest son Josh Duggar constantly tweets about Santorum and what a great dude he is. (Yes, I follow Josh Duggar on Twitter, because I am a masochist.) Now, the family has spoofed the title of their TV show in this video, “19 Reasons and Counting to Vote for Rick Santorum.” Some...

Rumor Mill: Rihanna Is Studying Kabbalah Because of Ashton Kutcher

Last updated on: March 24, 2012 at 11:42 am By Lilit Marcus

Today the Daily Mail (which Jezebel.com likes to refer to as “the daily fail,” with pretty good reason) reported that Rihanna and Ashton Kutcher are secretly hooking up. But it gets weirder: they also claim that Rihanna is going to start studying Kabbalah in order to connect with her new man. Ashton got into Kabbalah through his ex-wife Demi Moore, and it looks like even though their marriage didn’t work out he’s still into the study of Jewish mysticism. I... Read more
