When Saints Celebrate Superbowls with Douchebags

When Saints Celebrate Superbowls with Douchebags Right now, the New Orleans Saints are knights in shining helmets—they can do no wrong. The whole country (save the state of Indiana) is in love with the fifty men who rescued an entire city's spirit from the brink. But they'd better be careful, because squandering all that goodwill is easier than they might think. Take Saints wide receiver Lance Moore for example, who was caught Sunday night at the Fontainebleau hotel celebrating the big win with a dude that makes the cast of Jersey Shore look like Rhodes scholars. The incident was caught by TMZ cameras, and upon seeing this overgrown gremlin, we couldn't help but wish the Colts had won, so that he wouldn't have had what was probably the best night of life.

5 Socially Acceptable Reasons to Hate on Taylor Swift

5 Socially Acceptable Reasons to Hate on Taylor Swift In music, for every inspired-nutter like Lady GagaTaylor Swift. A blandspiration to all stork-faced country-pop crossovers, Swift is also a template for what privileged popstardom looks like: Girl with well-to-do family suspiciously surpasses more deserving superstars to collect awards for totally mediocre fare. This now puts Swift at the dead-center of a hurricane-caliber backlash! Whoooosh!

White Stripes vs. U.S. Air Force Reserve

White Stripes vs. U.S. Air Force Reserve If you watched the Super Bowl on Sunday, you might have seen a spot for the U.S. Air Force Reserve. It was the one that made it look like being in the reserves mostly involved flying the big birds and, somewhat unaccountably, surfing. Playing underneath this frenetic, gee-whiz imagery was a song that sounded an awful lot like The White Stripes’ "Fell in Love With a Girl" if it’d been recorded by a much shittier band. Guess who’s pissed off about this?

Good Units Opens Tonight

Good Units Opens Tonight I caught up with a seemingly suave, cool and collected hospitality designer, Robert McKinley, as he prepared for tonight's opening of Good Units, the brand new space in the Hudson Hotel basement. Publicist Steve Kasuba told me Robert was frantic finishing up, but I sensed no panic, except from Kasuba. One thing is for sure, when opening a joint, in 99.99% of the cases, no matter how much time you get to complete the task, there will be paint drying opening night. I love Robert McKinley’s designs. I loved Cain Luxe, thought Surf Lodge was a home run and GoldBar a masterpiece. Shoot, I’d go to GoldBar even if Jon Lennon wasn’t there

Ellen, Simon Cowell Despise Each Other on "American Idol"

Ellen, Simon Cowell Despise Each Other on American Idol is still a thing? Well, then! As the current season of Idol--allegedly Cowell's last--flails on, it's important that we, as people who lack anything meaningful to do on weeknights, comb each overlong episode for all subtext of acrimony between Cowell and new Idol guest DeGeneres we can find. Because they can't stand each other! And not in that playful big bro-hates-on-lil' sis way that Simon and Paula couldn't stand each other. According to insiders, from DeGeneres' first day, tensions were high, horns were locked and any number of other clichés you can think of to describe two people clashing. Yes, Howard Stern can't come soon enough to relieve Cowell of what has become a Brian Dunkleman-like existence as a thorn in Idol's side.
