Gavin McInnes Hassles Interviews Richard Simmons At Netflix Movie Championship

Tracie — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 17:00:00 EDT

Netflix held a contest in Times Square this week in which a group of contestants had to watch movies for five days straight, without sleeping or taking their eyes off the screen for a chance to win $10,000. Gavin McInnes — Jezebel's straight guy friend, who we love to torture — hosted the event. You can read all about the experience here. (Susan Sarandon personally delivered the final movie: Thelma and Louise.) In this clip, Gavin interviews Richard Simmons, who showed up to help the movie-watchers get their blood circulating.

When Gavin McInnes's daughter was born,...

Tracie — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 18:30:00 EDT

When Gavin McInnes's daughter was born, doctors told him that she wasn't born with the ability to walk, and that it would take about a year for her to learn how. He didn't think that pushing a newborn around in a mini-wheelchair was any way to live, so he decided to take action. He made a short documentary about his family's ride to infant mobility.

This Week We Were Not Afraid To Go There Or Say Goodbye

Megan — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 18:00:00 EDT

We said our final au revoir to Moe [sniff]
The McCain campaign said it's final goodbye to tasteful commercials with its eminently mockable Paris-Britney one, its new Moses one and it's kicky Spanish language one.
Watching Gavin walk a mile in Tracie's shoes made for far, far better viewing.
We tried it out ourselves, metaphorically speaking, in posts talking about sterilization, teen pregnancy and sex workers.
Walmart talked to its workers about voting Democratic. It's bad, they think. [HuffPo]
It might have been cool to be a pretty girl when we were younger, not that it keeps you from getting hurt or getting Photoshopped into something supposedly prettier, but some people think it might help you get a man.

Obama got taken to task for supposedly not paying enough attention to the issues of the African-American community, and we took a woman to task for making a stupid list about what dudes don't know about her.
Moe tackled the complexities of mass murderers' psyches and the psyches of female suicide bombers while finding time to weigh in on boy-shorts — but left the even absurder man-tights questions to Sadie and the important questions about the decline of the ladies' magazine industry (to which her departure will certainly contribute) to Dodai.
Margaret and I got a little obsessed with incest. Yeah, don't ask.

On the day that we tortured Gavin McInnes...

Tracie — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 13:30:00 EDT

On the day that we tortured Gavin McInnes by painting his face and then having him run a mile in high heels, he decided to teach us something, too: How to pee standing up. We kinda already know something about that, but his technique is a lot less conspicuous. [Street Carnage]

We Challenge A Man To Walk A Mile In Our Heels, Part 2

Tracie — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 15:00:00 EDT

Previously, we challenged Street Carnage's Gavin McInnes to walk a mile in a pair of high heels. He quit after about a block. But later that day, we were able to convince him to meet us at a park in Brooklyn to see if he could do four laps—equaling one mile—around the track. And he did! (And he bitched and moaned the entire time.) Check out his victory in the clip above.

We Challenge A Man To Walk A Mile In Our Heels

Tracie — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 15:00:00 EDT

To continue our series of "What it Feels Like for a Girl" — in which we make men do some of the more unpleasant accessories of "femininity" — we decided to challenge a man to walk a mile in our shoes... three-inch heels to be exact. We took Street Carnage's Gavin McInnes — a man known for his unyielding insistence on women wearing stilettos and model for our instructional makeup videos — shopping for shoes and walked around in downtown NYC. So was he able to do the full mile? Check the clip above.

Making It With Makeup: How To Get A Great Night Look

Tracie — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 17:00:00 EDT

So! For Part 2 of our instructional makeup series, we show you how to take your face from a day look to a night look with help from our good-sport model, Street Carnage's Gavin McInnes. Gavin actually welcomed a baby boy into the world this morning (congrats!), and it warms our hearts that his son will grow up with the knowledge and pride that his father knows how to take Lip Venom and eyeliner drawn inside his eye like a man.

Whenever I'm asked to give advice on applying makeup, it makes me a bit uncomfortable because 1) I'm not a makeup artist and therefore not necessarily qualified and 2) it just seems like something more appropriate had Condé Nast would've actually bought Jezebel. But we've finally worked out a way to create a series of instructional videos that sits well with our mission as a website. (Cameraman work by the one-armed man, Alex Goldberg.)

"How Do I Tell My Roommate She Has Sex Too Loudly?"

Tracie — Fri, 30 May 2008 18:00:00 EDT

It's time for another installment of Pot Psychology, the advice column in which everyone's problems are solved with an "herbal" remedy. (Remember, kids: Don't do drugs!) In this episode, we're takin' it to the streets, or rather, the park, to seek out those in need of our valuable insight. Rich, tiny pianist Gavin McInnes, and I answered questions about how to make gay friends and what to do with flaccid peens. (Bear with us, our microphone situation got messed up, and the audio is a little fuzzy.) Got a burning question? Send it to tips@jezebel.com with "Pot Psychology" in the subject line. (Please keep them short; they're verrrry hard to read when stoned.)

"If You Really Like A Guy Should You Wait To Bang Him?"

Tracie — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 16:20:00 EDT

When we filmed our 420 episode of Pot Psychology with Street Carnage's Gavin McInnes, we went all out to get in the right state of mind for the special event. Actually, we sorta went overboard. By the end of the night I puked, Rich was ready to hide in my bedroom, and Gavin had a paranoid delusion that Betty the intern thought he was gonna rape her. But in between all that, we managed to film nearly four hours of rambling nonsense that was just too good to confine to one episode, so this week's Pot Psych is part 2 of that epic night, in which we answer questions about hummers, midgets, and the dangers of senior citizens masturbating. Got a burning question? Send it to tips@jezebel.com with "Pot Psychology" in the subject line. (Please keep them short; they're verrrry hard to read when stoned.)

"My Roommate Is Bulimic. What Should I Do?"

Tracie — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 16:20:00 EDT

In this very special 420 episode of Pot Psychology, Rich and I are joined by a magical guest: Jambi the genie! (A virtuoso portrayal by StreetCarnage.com's Gavin McInnes.) He gave us aid(s) in tackling life's everyday issues, including dildo chew toys for dogs, Mormon weddings and large black cocks. Got a burning question? Send it to tips@jezebel.com with "Pot Psychology" in the subject line. (Please keep them short; they're verrrry hard to read when stoned.)

Bobby Brown Smokes Something, Whitney Houston Bitches

Slut Machine — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 13:00:00 EST

Do you, like us, miss the holy wedded union of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown? Do you miss when they had "Something in Common", by which we mean, mood altering substances? Well, the folks at Street Carnage have posted some wonderful audio clips of Whit and Bob from back in the day. Street Carnage's Gavin McInnes (formerly of Vice) got the clips through a friend who was working in a recording studio — "probably somewhere disgusting like Tampa" — when Bobby randomly joined them. (Whitney was laying down tracks of her own next door.) Bobby began rapping with them, and Whitney got pissed, came over, and this fight was recorded:

After what sounds like a long hunt, Whitney finally discovers Bobby with our guy and she is not impressed. She says, "I need you to do something" and he eventually comes back with, "I need you!" Nice retort. He may or may not be smoking crack here. It sounds like she's talking about a "rock" and saying "Oh, you went the whole other route, huh?" after an audible flint is struck.

Gavin says this probably all went down back in the fall of 2005, which makes a lot of sense, since that was after one of Whitney's unsuccessful rehab stints, and right before the couple shot their final episode of Being Bobby Brown. It was the Christmas special, on which Bobby announced to the camera that there was no such thing as Santa Claus. It was also when this happened:

And this:

Anyway, you should go check out the tracks he recorded in that session, particularly "The Brown Bomber" (which sounds like something my grandpa would've coined to describe someone who takes big shits) [It was also a moniker given to boxer Joe Louis by the sporting press. -Ed.] in which Bobby "came up with the infamous line "1,2,3,4,5,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,a,b,c,d,f,g I can go from here to there."
