The New Romcom ‘Jewtopia’ Appears to Have One or Two Actual Jews In It

Last updated on: September 17, 2013 at 4:29 pm By Lilit Marcus

There’s a new romantic comedy coming out called Jewtopia. As far as I can tell from the trailer, it’s about two best friends, one who is Jewish and marries a Jewish woman and one who’s not Jewish but desperate to marry a Jewish woman so that “he never has to make decisions again” (charming). Jamie-Lynn Sigler (who is actually Jewish) and Jennifer Love Hewitt (who is not) play the respective female leads. I didn’t laugh once during the trailer, but... Read more

Erin Bates’ Wedding Registry Shows Major Lack of Bridezilla

Last updated on: September 14, 2013 at 8:42 pm By Lilit Marcus

Erin Bates and Chad Paine are engaged, which means one important thing – time for the wedding registry! The couple has registered at Target. Most of the stuff on the registry has already been purchased, but they still need a toaster and a set of measuring cups if you feel like getting them anything. I have to say – I find their registry pretty refreshing. Sometimes people in the public eye get really greedy and start asking for ridiculous shit... Read more

Leah Remini Reads Ex-Scientologist Memoir

Last updated on: September 14, 2013 at 8:41 pm By Lilit Marcus

Ever since actress Leah Remini publicly acknowledged that she had left the Church of Scientology, her moves have become more and more interesting. There have been rumors that she’s working on a memoir about her experiences in Scientology and the actions that made her want to leave – the catalyst was apparently when Leah was at Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes‘ wedding and asked after Church head David Miscavige‘s wife, who was a friend of Leah’s and has been all...

Courtship Alert? Jessa Duggar Has a Boyfriend!

Last updated on: September 14, 2013 at 8:40 pm By Lilit Marcus

I’ve spent quite a few years waiting for one of the Duggar daughters from 19 Kids and Counting to get into a relationship. Oldest son Josh Duggar is married and has kids, but the older daughters are stuck at home taking care of their siblings instead of getting to have lives of their own. Luckily, there’s one hint that that might be changing. A young man named Ben Seewald recently posted this picture to Facebook, and the girl in it... Read more

Yom Kippur and the ‘Jewish Hunger Games’

Last updated on: September 13, 2013 at 10:10 am By Lilit Marcus

Well, this was inevitable. I can only wonder why a Yom Kippur/The Hunger Games mashup didn’t happen sooner. I just wish Jim Rash had been available to wear the Effie Trinket costume. Read more

Vince Gill Heckles Westboro Baptist Church Protesters

Last updated on: September 11, 2013 at 9:34 am By Lilit Marcus

It seems like the Westboro Baptist Church just hates everybody. Country singer Vince Gill was performing in Kansas City when the WBC showed up to protest. Their reason? Gill, who divorced his first wife and is now married to singer Amy Grant, is “an adulterer.” “What are you doing with another man’s wife? Don’t you know that divorce plus remarriage equals adultery?” one protester shouted at Vince. “Don’t you know you fuckers are lucky that you don’t have a sign... Read more

The Next Celebrity Scientologist: Dakota Johnson?

Last updated on: September 11, 2013 at 9:38 am By Lilit Marcus

Now that she’s been cast as female lead Anastasia Steele in the 50 Shades of Grey movie, Dakota Johnson is about to enter the celebrity big time. But it might also mean that Scientology, religion that loves celebrities more than any other, sinks their hooks into her. Dakota is used to Hollywood: her parents are Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson. And she’s also dating someone with celebrity world connections: Jordan Masterson. Jordan is the half-brother of actors Danny Masterson (formerly... Read more

How do you know when two Real Housewives are having a feud? One of them doesn’t get invited to the other one’s kid’s bat mitzvah.
