Marilyn Monroe: Some Like It Pot

Lindsay — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 17:30:00 EST

A 90-second clip from a home movie of Marilyn Monroe in the '50s, apparently smoking a large joint, has surfaced after the friend who shot the footage found it in her attic.

The best part isn't even the appearance of the joint — it's Marilyn laughing and making "stoned" faces afterward. Not since Anna Faris in Smiley Face has a bombshell actress looked so convincingly stoned on screen:

"Stiletto Stoners": Marie Claire Investigates Shocking New Trend Of Female Potheads

Tracie — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 18:00:00 EDT

"They've got killer careers and enviable social lives. They're also major potheads. Why are so many smart successful women lighting up in their off-hours?"

In a absurdly-titled article titled "Stiletto Stoners" in the October issue of Marie Claire, writer Yael Kohen reports some shocking news: Successful, educated women in their late 20s/early 30s, with demanding careers are smoking pot!

I know, right? But wait, not only that, they're also not fat! (Or poor!) According to the piece, one in five female pot smokers lives in a household earning more than $75,000 a year. Or as Marie Claire refers to it: "The Pottery Barn set." This type of woman likes to "kick off her Marc Jacobs pumps" at the end of a long, hard workday, and unwind by smoking a joint as her "3-carat cushion-cut engagement ring catches the light." Also, did I mention that she's not fat? Because the article reminds the reader several times.

These woman are (thin) professionals: "lawyers, editors, insurance agents, TV producers, and financial biggies…nothing like the unemployed out-of-shape schlubsters who are a staple of the Judd Apatow canon." Also, "sugary cocktails" are super high (no pun intended) in calories, so weed is somewhat of a Weight Watchers alternative for getting one's buzz on.

One 28-year-old woman profiled in the piece said she'd been warned of the risks of marijuana—"My mom told me that I'd get hooked and get the munchies and get fat"—but she learned this was "baloney" when she lost 25 pounds despite the fact that she smokes weed regularly.

Her secret: She eats a healthy meal right before she smokes, which seems to curb her appetite. 'The munchies are absolutely something you don't have to get into,' Schwartz maintains. 'Of course, the desire to eat is always there.'

Ummmkay… She also added, "I'll go to the gym for an hour, then come back home and smoke a joint while I listen to jazz and read books—I just finished The Fountainhead."

This morning, Today reported on the magazine's 411 on 420. (They also had a great graphic.)

Wow. Who would've thought that an expensive habit that lends itself well to introspective—albeit retarded—thoughts would popular amongst women with a little spending money and a lot on their minds?

Roseanne's Pot Episode

More than 15 years later, the episode in which Dan, Roseanne, and Jackie all get stoned, still holds up as one of the funniest (and most relatable?) scenes from a family sitcom. And lucky for us, it aired earlier today.

Lindsay Evans was stripped of her Miss Louisiana Teen USA tiara yesterday after she and three friends were arrested for running out on a $46.07 restaurant bill in Bossier City, Louisiana over the weekend. Cops caught up with Evans and her pals after Evans mistakenly left behind her purse and a bag of pot at the restaurant. Oops! Evans says that she paid her share of the bill with "a nice crisp 20" and that she is "only human" for leaving her purse and pot behind when she decided to run out with her pals. [NY Post, TMZ]

Mary-Kate Olsen In Elle: Holy Trashbag!

cheryl — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 13:00:00 EDT

You know, I usually find Spencer Pratt's opinions relatively unimpeachable, but I totes never thought Mary-Kate was the less-cute Olsen, far from it. Until now! Anyway, maybe MK shares my opinion regarding the dormitory shower curtain they made her wear on the cover of this month's issue of Elle, because the interview she gives is...um, supplemented by those telltale bullshit filler sentences such as "Dave and Jarnette always insisted that Mary-Kate and Ashley experience a regular childhood," and a quote from Lauren Hutton on how hard it was for MK to "discover" her incredible tastes. Mercifully, Elle gives you better ways to waste 20 minutes! Like a story on how you can not only use pot to cure anxiety, but Special K to cure depression!! (That's better news than Ecstasy for PTSD!) Anyway, after the jump as usual, we rewrite the cover lines to reveal the fact that we actually read the magazine.

Ganja Queen: The Most Convincing Argument To Never Check Your Luggage When Flying

Tracie — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 16:00:00 EDT

Last night HBO aired Ganja Queen, a documentary about the trial of Schapelle Corby, a 27-year-old Australian woman who was arrested for allegedly smuggling 9 lbs of marijuana into Indonesia in her boogie board bag. Corby has always maintained her innocence and swears that she has no idea how the drugs—which were vacuumed sealed in a clear bag—got into her luggage. Despite the fact that she tested negative for drug use, she was found guilty and sentenced by the Indonesian government to 20 years in prison. The whole story is very sad, but there was one spot of comic relief in the documentary: Corby's older sister Mercedes. You can tell how close the two are, and how much she cares about her sister's fate, when she hops the barrier in the court to assist Schappelle, who passed out, exposing her "undies." Clip above.
