Madonna's New Video Portrays Her Undies (and Her 12-Year-Old Daughter)
September 1st 2009 at 3:23pm by CharlotteCowles

Madonna's new music video for her single "Celebration" features a lot of intense hip-flexing and her perma-shirtless boytoy Jesus Luz. We also see an abundance of pecs, abs, and Madonna's undies (which kind of look like very short biker spandex, but let's not speculate further). However, Madge knows she's got to do more than hump a wall to shock us these days, so she put her 12-year-old daughter in it for good measure: Little Lourdes does an innocent-enough backflip about three minutes and 15 seconds into the video. See it, after the jump; relive Madonna's "Material Girl" days, above.

"NYC Prep" Season Finale in a Nutshell: From the Bullpen
August 12th 2009 at 5:11pm by CharlotteCowles
Charlotte Cowles (1:41:17 PM): I gotta say, last night's "NYC Prep" tried my patience.
Hannah Lawrence (1:41:26 PM): This show was over just in the nick of time.
Charlotte Cowles (1:42:41 PM): The final scene with Camille bravely trying to hail a cab (and failing)...I just couldn't handle her anymore. (She's insufferable in the clip above, as well.)
Hannah Lawrence (1:43:04 PM): As an English major, I couldn't help interpreting that cab scene as blatant forshadowing, which made me very, very happy.
Charlotte Cowles (1:43:29 PM): Here's hoping.
Charlotte Cowles (1:43:35 PM): Okay, let's start at the beginning: Sebastian's benefit for building wells in Africa?
Hannah Lawrence (1:44:28 PM): I love that Sebastian came up with the idea to help Africans get clean water so that he could meet girls.
Charlotte Cowles (1:46:41 PM): Direct quote: "It's a win-win. It's for a good cause, and it shows my sensitive side to girls."
Hannah Lawrence (1:47:03 PM): I do love a good sensitive side.

"NYC Prep" Episode 5: From the Bullpen
July 22nd 2009 at 4:49pm by CharlotteCowles
Charlotte Cowles (2:08:29 PM): Last night's episode had a very artistic theme, what with Kelli's singing, Taylor's dancing, and PC's photography. And Jessie's foray into fashion, if that counts.
Hannah Lawrence (2:09:05 PM): Yes, it also seemed to be the episode where everyone addressed or acknowledged their aspirations.
Charlotte Cowles (2:09:53 PM): Camille had the obvious achievement fail, I would say, with her awkward attempt to get Jessie to let her help with "Operation Smile."
Hannah Lawrence (2:10:17 PM): Yes, Camille seemed to definitely be lagging behind the others.
Charlotte Cowles (2:10:47 PM): Which should be hugely satisfying, but she's just so insufferable that it wasn't even fun to watch.
Hannah Lawrence (2:11:09 PM): She's dead to me.

"NYC Prep" Episode 4 in a Nutshell: From the Bullpen
July 15th 2009 at 9:42pm by CharlotteCowles
Charlotte Cowles (4:02:54 PM): Last night's episode of "NYC Prep" was entirely structured around Camille's unbelievably awkward dinner party. Which, for the record, wasn't even a real dinner party because it was at a restaurant!
Hannah Lawrence (4:03:30 PM): Yes, the whole point of dinner parties is going into people's bathrooms and seeing what shampoo they use.
Charlotte Cowles (4:04:07 PM): Speaking of awkward, I forced my boyfriend and his roommates to watch this with me because we were having a cable issue in my apartment.
Hannah Lawrence (4:04:33 PM): Oh, wow. I can barely get my female roommates to watch it.
Charlotte Cowles (4:04:55 PM): The menfolk were not so happy.
Hannah Lawrence (4:05:24 PM): I bet the musings of adolescents are not high on their totem pole of interests.
Charlotte Cowles (4:05:42 PM): Sadly, I'm not so selective.

Daniel Radcliffe Loves Cougars
June 25th 2009 at 5:40pm by CharlotteCowles

Daniel Radcliffe famously confessed to Details magazine last year that he had lost his virginity at age 16 (apparently to 23-year-old Amy Byrne, a hairdresser on the set of "Harry Potter" -- and yes, in England that's legal). Now, it appears that the 20-year-old's cougar-love is not just a one-time thing. Parade magazine posted an interview today in which Radcliffe explained, "Girls my own age are not really an option...I find, generally speaking, they have to be entertained more than older girls do. So most of the girls I have had serious things with are generally sort of in their 20s." The magazine will hit newsstands just in time for the July 17th release of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." Of his role as Harry, Radcliffe says, "I've now reached a stage in my career where I am starting to break away...I just think I'm a bit too old for that now." After watching the interview above, I think you will agree.

Read the full interview after the jump.

Brooke Shields Goes A-Cougaring
May 18th 2009 at 12:32pm by CharlotteCowles

Brooke Shields's cougar-tastic photo spread with a barely-legal male model in this month's Australian "Kurv" magazine provides great new direction for the cougar movement. While cougars, like bacon, will never really go out of vogue, there comes a point when we get a little tired of hearing about them ALL the time. But 42-year-old Brooke takes things to a whole new cougar level, even copping a feel of the model's adolescent arse in one of the pictures.

Still, the best part about Brooke posing with someone less than half her age is that it's kind of a role reversal: Brooke first appeared nude on camera when she was 14 (unless you count her days as a baby model for Ivory Soap, in which case she was 11 months old). Let this be a lesson to cougars everywhere: the point isn't that you're old(er); the point is that age just doesn't matter.

Hulk Hogan, Cougar Ex Dating Brooke Wannabes
April 16th 2009 at 10:29pm by CharlotteCowles

Hulk Hogan's soon-to-be ex-wife, Linda Bollea, is currently dating 19-year-old cub Charlie Hill*, who bears an odd resemblance to Bollea's daughter Brooke. Interestingly enough, Hulk Hogan's new girlfriend, Jennifer McDaniel, kinda looks like Brooke too... Uh, does Dr. Freud make house calls outside of L.A.?

I feel a little bad for Brooke's little brother Nick, who gets no love, but at least he'll be safe when his dad "goes O.J."

*Move over, Vivica, I do believe you've been out-cougared.

Barbie Turns 50, Gets Plastic Surgery
February 4th 2009 at 4:27pm by CharlotteCowles

It's Barbie's 50th birthday! To celebrate, Mattel held a Barbie-themed (read: very pink) shindig in her honor at the Nuremberg Toy Fair. The only thing that made it different from a party at the Playboy mansion was ... well, I'll have to get back to you on that one.

The party unfortunately coincided with reports of Barbie's sales dropping 21% in the fourth quarter. As we all know, this is no economic climate for fun and games - which is why Mattel's newest Barbie has been made over as "more grown-up and understated." I can't help but think: is this "Cougar Barbie"?

Reuters tried their hand at humor by suggesting that "perhaps, 'Austerity Barbie' is not too far off." I find their attempt endearing, but this guy's Barbie jokes are way funnier.
