Here is Another Healthy Serving of Hot Teens Doing Hot Supernatural Things

Studio@Gawker · 06/09/11 03:00PM

MTV's newest series Teen Wolf has all sorts of appealing qualities that one looks for in good TV: moody drama, beautiful cinematic photography, hot teen wolf-boys fighting hot teen athletes, you know, that sort of thing. Because seriously, do you really need an excuse to watch a bunch of boys sprout hair in weird places, tackle each other and agonize over the trials of what it's like to be different?

Meet Spencer Falls, McConaughey's New Rival in Shirtlessness

Studio@Gawker · 06/09/11 11:00AM

Summer is upon us, and what do we want to see with increasing frequency more than a glisteny set of man-pecs? Enter Spencer Falls. With Sarah Carroll, Falls is one half of an apparent supercouple known around town as "Sparah." They've been spotted at some red carpet events in Hollywood and have obviously made some sort of impression as Ashton Kutcher, the Mayor of the Celebrity Twitterverse, has proclaimed that he is firmly on Team Sparah, with a spurt of pro-Sparah (anti-Speidi) tweets.

The Four Formulas for a Successful Sitcom

Studio@Gawker · 06/08/11 11:00AM

In 2005, Dr. Helen Pilcher, the owner of a Ph.D. in Molecular Neurobiology who also happens to be a comedian, devised a mathematical formula to determine the success of a television sitcom. According to her, all you have to do is multiply the recognizability of the main character (r) by their delusions of grandeur (d), add that sum to the verbal wit of the script (v), then multiply the total by the amount someone falls over or suffers an injury (f). The difference in status between the highest and lowest characters is added (s), and the total is divided by the success of the show's scheme (a). Got that?

1. No, you may not order a macro-vegan, locally-grown, wheatgrass, maple syrup cleansing shot from your local bartender. No matter what a certain skinny blonde lady says, that goop is not cool, and almost certainly your tender of choice has no idea what you're talking about.

Olivia Munn and Selita Ebanks Unleash the Dragon...Fruit

Studio@Gawker · 05/12/11 11:00AM

On April 19, the Hotness herself, Olivia Munn, and the so-hot-we're-sweating-just-thinking-about-her Selita Ebanks lit up Las Vegas at the launch party for SKYY Infusions® Dragon Fruit, the newest addition to SKYY's line of all natural infused va-va-voom vodkas.

Hollywood highnesses Olivia and Selita held court over the crowd, dancing, drinking, and pretty much enticing everything with eyeballs. Can you see why they call dragon fruit the forbidden fruit? Watching these girls have a night out in Vegas was something your mom would have probably forbidden.

We owe the night and the joy of watching Olivia and Selita slither around to SKYY, who transformed PURE Nightclub inside Caesars Palace into a tropical Garden of Eden—if the Garden of Eden had caged dancers in elaborate body paint covered in feathers and strategically placed snakes. Yes, snakes.

Since you couldn't be there, here's how to get your own drink on with the ultra-yum, fantastical berry taste of the SKYY Infusions Dragon Fruit adult refreshments served that evening: you can find recipes and libation recommendations when you follow SKYY Infusions Dragon Fruit on Facebook or on Twitter @SKYYVodka #SKYYDragonFruit.
