Praise Jesus, TLC Orders a Show Called 'Preacher Wives'

Cassie Murdoch — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 21:45:00 EST

TLC has brought so much joy into our lives—Hoarding: Buried Alive, Sister Wives, I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant, and the list goes on—but now comes word of a true blessing that's about to be bestowed upon us by the network where different is always better. Preacher Wives will take place in Atlanta and follow the "outspoken ladies who work to ensure that their churches run as smooth as Southern-churned butter." Hallelujah! The show is being produced by True Entertainment, who also brought us The Real Housewives of Atlanta, so let's hope it won't be as snoozy as All-American Muslim and will lean more toward the Toddlers & Tiaras side of the crazy antics spectrum.

Soon You'll Be Able to Get Wasted at Starbucks

Cassie Murdoch — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 21:00:00 EST

As if their complete control over your morning addiction wasn't enough, Starbucks has now announced it's going to start selling booze at some of its cafes during the evening. Oh, this is going to be good—you'll be able to get hammered at night and then sober up on a venti caramel macchiato the next morning. (Or if they really go all out, a venti bloody mary.) The only bummer is that you'll probably have to wait a little while before you can start getting sloshed at your local Starbucks. More »

10 Things You May Have Missed On TV This Week

Tracie Egan Morrissey — Fri, 12 Nov 2010 19:30:00 EST

In this week's compilation of pop culture crap, a 3500-square-foot apartment in Manhattan isn't big enough for Kelsey Grammer's wife, Kathie Lee Gifford tries to use the subway, and Oprah has the nerve to think someone else's name is weird. More »

The Real Housewives Of Atlanta Represent The Crass Consumerism That Is Ruining Our Country

The Real Housewives of Atlanta - made up mostly of women who are wives of athletes - are the shallowest, bitchiest, and most materialistic we've seen in this Bravo series. All of them act like the girls you see on MTV's My Super Sweet 16 - demanding designer labels, extravagant birthday cakes, and fully loaded Escalades - but perhaps the most disgusting is Shereé, who talks about how much "class" she has, which is a sure sign she doesn't have any. She's the ex of some athlete, and she is fighting him for money so that she can continue to maintain her lifestyle, which includes an extensive staff (personal assistant, chef, and publicist) and buying $3,500 handbags that look like you can get them for a tenth of the price at Joyce Leslie. She also thinks that "men are intimidated by successful women," interesting only because I didn't realize that "success" is measured by how much you can take your ex-husband for. Clip above. More »

Numbers Of Young Women With Skin Cancer Rises • LadyMag Editor Neutralizes "Men At Work" Signs

Maria — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 17:20:00 EDT

Melanoma cases in young women continues to rise (they have yet to adopt the fear-the-sun attitude of ladymags) due in part to increased outdoor activity and indoor tanning. • A well-preserved statue of Venus (from the late classical Greek tradition) was found in Macedonia. • Napoleon's penis is currently in the basement of a New Jersey WASP, just thought you would like to know. • Trend pieces that will never die: spas for kids! • Cynthia Good, the founding editor of Pink magazine, convinced the city of Atlanta to make their "Men At Work" signs gender neutral.

I Love The Way You Move

Dodai Stewart — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 15:40:00 EDT

Earlier, we posted about the lack of black people in the UK ballet. But here in the US, OutKast's Antwan "Big Boi" Patton has collaborated with choreographer Lauri Stallings on a production called "big." The ballet is a "marriage of artistic aesthetics" that will, at one point, feature Verdi's "La Traviata" intertwined with "Morris Brown," a cut from OutKast's "Idlewild" soundtrack. "It's definitely one of the funkiest hybrids I've ever seen," Big Boi said. Click here for a video sneak peek; the show opens tonight at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta. [CNN] More »

Betsey Johnson Goes Private Equity, 'Portfolio' Fashion Blogger Goes Ageist

Jennifer — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 10:00:00 EDT

Betsey Johnson is selling a majority of her label to a private equity firm, which is sort of like the tent dress equivalent of this year's fashion financing world, but Portfolio blogger Lauren Goldstein Crowe is confused. What would a private equity firm want with Johnson, a "grandmother, 65 years old?" Um, and Valentino: such a strapping young lad himself! [Portfolio.com]

DailyCandy Forgot What It Wants To Tell You

Jennifer — Thu, 07 Jun 2007 13:54:18 EDT

It's exhausting worrying about our friends over at DailyCandy. When we're not freaking out about whether they're secretly talking trash about us behind our backs or trying to lure our dads out of the closet... well, we actually do worry about their own emotional well-being, seeing that they're locked up in some office somewhere surrounded by cupcakes and peonies and Sex And The City DVDs. And based on today's tips, we're not entirely convinced that everything is working that well at DailyCandy HQ. Why we suspect DailyCandy might have pulled a Paris (before she got sprung, that is), after the jump. More »
