The claws are off for Gwyneth and Scarlett. Rawr!

You snooze, you lose….weight.

Robert Downy Jr. Enjoyed Himself All. The. TIME

280066755.jpgWhether he’s spent half of his career in the slammer or not, Robert Downy Jr. has always been a favorite with the ladies.  Those lips, those puppy dog eyes…those freaking biceps in Iron Man, RDJ is pure middle-aged fantasy material if I’ve ever seen it.

Speaking of fantasies, RDJ just admitted to Now Magazine that he used to be a compulsive masturbator!  Which is really pretty strange!  [Our exclamation points are because we don't know how to process this information!]

I was a compulsive, serial masturbator, but it was the best thing I could have been. I utilized that organ and rode it for everything it was worth.” 

Hmm.   Awkward.  Downy goes on to say this:

[masturbating] no longer a motivating factor for me. My union with [my wife] is sacred. Almost always, guys want to get laid. They have a girlfriend, they want to f*ck her friend. But I’m not that guy.”

Good to know that he don’t want to eff his wife’s friends.  Also good to know that he believes marriage is sacred.  Weird to know that he used to tug it all the time.

Some people enjoy sharing, I guess.

Shirtless and SweatyMan: 5 Ways Superhero Movies Would Be Different if a Chick Wrote Them

475403233_b3235146d6.jpgI like superhero movies. They’re rad. Growing up in the rural North East, there wasn’t much to do once the sun went down, and so instead of huffing paint thinner in the backyard like our neighbors, my brother and I turned to comics. X-Men, Batman, Spiderman, Aliens…and all the 701 offshoots of each. Many hours of my childhood were spent sitting in a Ninja Turtle tent in my brother’s room, passing the newest issue of X Force and a box of Hostess cupcakes back and forth with him.

I’ve seen the X-man movies, watched every single Spiderman (even though I have this huge issue with Kristin Dunst), drooled over Christian Bale as Batman, and recently had the ultimate pleasure of watching Iron Man – and Robert Downy Jr. – kick ass on the big screen.

[Okay, slight tangent: can we talk about the scene where RDJr. is in the cave, and he’s all mad and sweaty and dirty and hammering STEEL? Lord. Pass the HOTsauce please]

I’ve loved all of these movies. They were great fun. But being a writer, and ALSO being a chick, I’ve noticed a really sh*tty trend: in almost all of these films, women are pretty useless. Read More »


‘Iron Man’ is More Awesome Than You Can Fathom

When my girlfriend asked me on Friday night if I wanted to see Prom Night or Iron Man, I had to seriously wonder if she was kidding. Iron Man was one of the very few comics that I read as a kid, and I was so outrageously excited about the movie that I had seen just about every trailer and read just about every tidbit regarding the movie.

Terrified of another Fantastic Four flop, I checked all of the review sites I could, and everyone was full of praise. So, sneaking all kinds of snack food in our bags, we walked into the theater hoping for the best.

God, did I ever get it. Read More »
