This week in EW: Channing Tatum and the cast of Magic Mike bare (almost) all. EW brought Tatum, Matthew McConaughey, Joe Manganiello, and Matt Bomer back together for a wet and wild photo shoot followed by a rowdy, booze-soaked dinner, where the costars swapped their best stories about acting, waxing, and stripping in their new film.
I would like to call BS on Whoopi’s saying that Jesse didn’t have enough diction for his audition.
We all know that JSJ would have been spitting the SHIT outta that Sondheim.
Is Ladies (Comfortably) Bathing Together the Final Frontier of Female Friendship (On TV?)
Everyone in their right minds has to know the scene that I’m talking about on the series premiere of Girls, right? The scene where Lena, excuse me,Hannah, chomps away on a cupcake, chiding poor Marnie to get naked as they bathe as they get ready to face the day?! Strangely, this was one of the most talked-about things about the show, at least on my Twitter feed post-Girls premiere. I mean, how fucking absurd amirite?!
But THEN I was getting my James Van Der Beek fix over on Don’t Trust the “B” in Apt. 23 (which is highly underrated, if I do say so myself), and there little Chloe is snuggling up with June while she takes a bath (Who takes baths anyway? That’s neither here nor there…)
Men in the cinema have oft remarked at how women always go to the powder room together (any narrative that features a restaurant and a bathroom—WHAT DO THEY DO IN THERE!?!?!?), but now we’ve moved from the public sphere to the private, and these days, girls aren’t showing any qualms about taking things to the next level. Friends have shared bathrooms before on television, for example, on an episode of Friends, but Rachel didn’t seem all that comfortable telling the gender of her baby while Chandler soaped up:
Have people gotten more comfortable bathing with friends, or is pop culture just catching up to an older trend (confession: I’ve shared my bathroom with friends NUMEROUS times. Alcohol, not cupcakes, was usually involved.)? And is this specifically a lady-bonding enterprise? Do the urinals on the New Girl count?
FIRST SEASON THROWBACK Y’ALL

i CAN’T with these outfits
Since my mom was the same age as Sally Draper in 1966, I like to pretend that my mom wore outfits like this, sans psychological trauma.
I can’t get out of bed. I’M IN TECH!
Pray for Debra.
Why I Love that Christina Hendricks Can’t Dress Herself:
There are few irrefutable facts on this earth. One of them is that Christina Hendricks is positively beautiful. Don’t even try and argue with me. It’s criminal that she hasn’t been awarded an Emmy for Joan. It’s immensely exciting that she’s going to be in more movies. And of course, she and (Mad Men’s costume designer) Janie Bryant are being credited with bringing a curvier silhouette back in vogue. For that, I selfishly say THANKS.
However, once she takes off her Joan-dirndl and hits the red carpet, girlfriend needs some HELP. Mah girls the Fug Girls are continually perplexed by this phenomenon, but they’re slightly more frustrated with her missteps, begging her to step it up, considering that her god-given raw material is so spectacular.
I would like to posit an alternate theory: that it’s AWESOME that she is such a tit-spilling mess on the red carpet. Sure, it draws attention to the absurdity that designers don’t know how to dress her. And it levels the playing field for us mere mortals who would kill to look like that much of a hot mess on our best days.
But more importantly, she highlights how un-fun a world we live in with celebrities taking so few red carpet risks, or if they did take risks, they’re so expertly crafted by stylists that you can feel the desperation through their pores. Christina, or Christina and her stylist, I imagine, see a dress that they like and stuff those puppies in there no matter the consequences.
And for that, Christina, I salute you.

At last, something beautiful you can truly own.
Well, I finally did it. I finally found a job that I am actually well-qualified for and it’s located in one of my favorite cities: Boston. Yayy! My taste testers were not pleased that...
HAHAHA I figured y’all might enjoy this because we get a lot of messages about “so-and-so looks so much like famous-actor” and IT REALLY IS QUITE EERIE SOMETIMES!
