Over the past few years, it’s become glaringly apparent that Hollywood is suffering from a crippling idea shortage. We’ve seen a fourth Indiana Jones, a third Underworld, a third Mummy, a fourth Scary Movie, a fifth Saw… it’s pretty pathetic. Of course, the endless sequel thing isn’t completely abnormal. Jaws, Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street all saw countless followups through the ’80s and ’90s. However, what is a new and very annoying trend in Hollywood is the needless remaking of movies and TV shows. (more…)

The prospect of legal marijuana seems an impossible dream to millions of pot smokers across America. No matter how much evidence exists to the contrary, the drug continues to be vilified by the media, demonized by the religious right and described as a ‘gateway drug’ by politicians and law makers alike. Nobody has ever overdosed on pot, nobody has ever died from it, yet smoking a joint continues to carry the same stigma as shooting heroin and snorting coke in the eyes of the government, and often yields the same punishment.

Since the ‘legalize it’ movement has been going strong for decades with hardly any victories to speak of, whenever anyone talks about legalizing pot, the news needs to be greeted with a healthy amount of skepticism. After all, if the government won’t even acknowledge the usefulness of medical marijuana, how can anyone expect it to understand the joys of regular marijuana? (more…)

It’s impossible to wrap your head around the strange journey that has been Michael Jackson’s life. From child-star to multi-platinum mega-star to to child molester to creepy old white guy, his life has taken more turns than we can count. And now it’s taking another one.

Because he’s incredibly, miserably broke, Jackson has decided to auction off almost everything in his infamous Neverland Ranch. The list of items not only provides a revealing glimpse into the once glamorous/juvenile life that Jackson lead, but also presents a unique opportunity to get your hands on some truly crazy sh*t at rock bottom prices. Honestly, it’s amazing how low this stuff is selling for. MJ must be DESPERATE. (more…)

It’s not hard to imagine why the geniuses at MTV thought that turning the College Humor website into a TV show was a good idea. The site is very solid — has been for years — and the original skits they’ve been creating hit more times than not. MTV is starved for non-reality programming, and with a history of airing shows like Human Giant and Wundershowzen, likes to think of itself as a promoter of ‘cutting edge’ of new comedy. (more…)

Last week we posted a thorough list of the most successful potheads on the planet, shattering the myth that smoking marijuana dooms you to a life of failure and worthlessness. While we were all very proud of the list, there was one glaring problem with it: there were no chicks on the list! Can you believe it? How did we make a list of stoners and not include a single female? As any avid pothead knows, girls love to get high just as much as guys. And so to right our wrong, we’ve made a list for the ladies. Here in all their glory are the seven sexiest stoners on the planet. (more…)

Unless you’ve been trapped in a rented silver Lamborghini all week, you’ve heard all about how up and coming R&B star Chris Brown was arrested on Sunday for beating up his girlfriend, R&B superstar Rihanna. Hey Chris, NOT COOL! OK? Not. Cool. While we were digesting this troubling news and wondering what would bring any man to lay a hand on the woman he loves, we had a bit of a revelation: Chris Brown has the same last name as one of the most famous wife beaters of all time, Bobby Brown. And the similarities don’t end there! In fact, Chris may actually be Bobby Brown reincarnated, living out almost the exact same life as Bobby once did, only two decades later. (more…)

An unemployed porno addict, sitting in his parents’ basement, playing video games, eating Lucky Charms out of the box with one hand while he lazily scratches his balls with the other. A dread-lock having, patchouli oil smelling, tie-die wearing, Phish listening, hula-hoop twirling space cadet. A burger flipping, acne having, socially inept, friendless loser… These are the common stereotypes associated with the term ‘pothead’. In a recent piece we published on pot farms, a debate erupted in the comments section, with some arguing that if you smoke pot, you’ll be poor, gay, and “washing dishes until you’re dead.”

Where these stereotypes originated remains a mystery to us. In reality, they couldn’t be further from the truth. Not only have 42% of Americans admitted to trying pot, but pot smokers have gone on to become some of the most successful people in our society. We’re not talking about Willie Nelson and Snoop. These guys are on the Forbes 500, they’re leading the free world, and they prove that all existing pothead stereotypes are nothing more than myths. (more…)

Best of the Week: Zack and Miri Make a Porno
Here’s the sad truth: Seth Rogen is wearing very thin on us. His laugh, his stoner shtick, even his cleverness — all the things that we love about him, we’re getting tired of. Seth needs to take a year or two off. Do a supporting role here and there, maybe a stint on Broadway, some Shakespeare in the Catskills for a summer… we just don’t want to see him star in anything. For a while. All that having been said, this movie is pretty awesome. Kevin Smith writes and directs, and his dialogue coming out of Rogen’s mouth is at times priceless. Epic, even. The plot is 100% worthless, but that’s not really the point. Kevin Smith is completely on top of his screenwriting game in this one, and as anyone who has followed his work through the years knows, that’s something you don’t want so miss. (more…)

Pamela Anderson is truly one of a kind: a pin-up with huge implants who somehow managed to cross over from the pages of Playboy to the American mainstream. There are others like her — most notably Carmen Electra and Jenny McCarthy — but while her contemporaries have been languishing on the D-list for years now (McCarthy has literally been reduced to an autism awareness activist), Pam has managed to remain a household name for the better of two decades.

In many ways, she embodies the modern American dream (even though she’s Canadian). She went from rags to riches — obscurity to notoriety — on nothing more than a pretty face and a fantastic pair of boobs. Many have taken to calling her the Marilyn Monroe of her time (someone even made a video about it). It’s an easy comparison to make, except for one glaring difference between the two: Marilyn died when she was 36. At the age of 41, Pam is still alive and well. (more…)

When rumors swirled yesterday that Mickey Rourke and his The Wrestler co-star, Evan Rachel Wood, got caught making out, we were pretty impressed. She’s 21, and he’s 52. The cradle had officially been robbed. But how Rourke would stack up when pitted against the greats? We decided to put together a comprehensive list of legendary cradle robbers to find out. (more…)
