Jezebel: Ice Cream

I Scream, You Scream

Sadie Stein — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 13:20:00 EDT

In PETA's ongoing quest to alienate as many people from their message as possible, they're now taking on ice cream. Specifically, they want Ben and Jerry's to discontinue the use of cow's milk and use — wait for it — human breast milk. PETA's rationale is that some restauranteur in Switzerland is using breast milk in his food and it's nicer to cows. Apparently no consideration is given to the lactating women who would need to be "milked" to make a single pint of Cherry Garcia, but whatevs. B&J are characteristically laid-back about it, saying, "We applaud PETA's novel approach to bringing attention to an issue, but we believe a mother's milk is best used for her child."

"My Girlfriend Has Had Four Abortions. Is That A Lot?"

It's time for another installment of Pot Psychology, the "advice" column in which we attempt to solve everyone's problems with an herbal remedy. (Remember, kids: Don't do drugs!) In this very special Summer Jamz at the Jerzey Shore episode, the Stevie B to my Stacey Q, Rich, helps me answer questions about fisting, "large" vaginas, and Mariah Carey. Got a burning question? Send it to potpsych@jezebel.com. (Please keep them short; they're verrrry hard to read when stoned.) P.S. We like pictures because they're easier than reading, so feel free to send some our way.

Remember When Mariah Carey Went Crazy?

Tracie — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 18:00:00 EDT

Mariah Carey is flying high from her 18th #1 hit "Touch My Body," and she's been all over the place promoting her new album (Oprah yesterday, American Idol tonight), E=MC² which came out today. But remember when things were going so great in her career about seven years ago, specifically when she freaked out in the summer of 2001 from not sleeping? (Remember when Glitter was the first time we could all truly laugh after September 11?) Above is a clip from her July 2001 surprise appearance on TRL, in which she wore a skimpy outfit, handed out popsicles, and rambled about stuff that didn't make any sense. ("All I know is I just want one day off when I can go swimming and look at rainbows and like eat ice cream. And maybe like learn how to ride a bicycle.") A few days later, she checked into a mental facility. We're glad she's feeling a lot better and is back on top, but we kinda thought she was equally entertaining while hitting rock bottom.

What Your Favorite Ice Cream Flavor Says About You

Dodai — Fri, 27 Jul 2007 11:15:12 EDT

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer has a cute little time-waster yanked from IceCream.com, entitled "What does your favorite ice cream flavor say about you?" Well, here are some answers: Butter pecan is respectful, chocolate chip is competitive, coffee is flirtatious. One problem: Chocolate is conspicuously absent from the list. Another problem: The descriptions are just too damn perky and positive! So in honor of our feeling cranky, persnickety and cantankerous today, we've created our own version. Check it out after the jump.

Butter Pecan: You have to be different, don't you? Always showing off. Also, when you need nuts in your ice cream, it means you are nuts.
Chocolate Chip: Chocolate is the best part of the ice cream, but you can't commit to that, can you? You're scared of taking things too far, which is why you always fail. Loser.
Coffee: If you want coffee, why don't you just order coffee? You're such a fucking diva.
Double Chocolate Chunk: Ever heard of self-restraint? Gluttony is a sin, you greedy bitch.
Mint Chocolate Chip: Everything is about you, isn't it. And you're always whining about every little decision. Make up your fucking mind already.
Rocky Road: This is self-explanatory. Get some therapy.
Strawberry: No one thinks you're as adorable and pretty as you think you are. No one.
Vanilla: Even your so-called friends think you're a mind-numbing bore.

Fergie Schools Us In The Nuances Of Product Placement

Jennifer — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 10:18:29 EDT

Fergie absolutely does not rap about Candie's shoes because she is paid to rap about Candie's shoes. She only raps about brand names she's not paid to rap about, like Bentleys and Taco Bell. She keeps it real that way. [WWD, 1st item]
Yves Saint Laurent has been hospitalized and is reportedly "not doing well." But he's kind of a hypochondriac so whatevs. [WWD, sub req'd]
Our favorite fashion blogger, Lauren Goldstein Crowe, is not happy. Because she used to be able to get Miu Miu on the cheap, and now, shit is fucking expensive. We get the feeling her press discount might've gone bye-bye. [Portfolio]
England continues to lay down the law when it comes to models: Not only must they be over age 16, but now there can't be any cigarettes or (gasp!) recreational drugs backstage! And blah blah blah they want the girls to weigh more, unionize, go to school, get acupuncture, find spiritual well-being... basically turn them into Mount Holyoke students or something. Yeah, THAT'LL sell clothes. [WWD, sub req'd]

Badgley Mishka to debut its first-ever swimwear line at Miami Fashion Week. We can't help but conjure up images of intricately beaded maillots... which, frankly, sorta creeps us out. [Vogue UK]
Listen up boys and girls! Even people who run international ice cream companies can become CEO's of luxury houses one day! [Vogue UK]
So you know how haute couture means that the garment was hand-sewn and made from a custom pattern for your perfect little body? Um, not so much. [WSJ]
