M.I.A. Doesn’t Give a S**t Super Bowl Post

Before I get started, M.I.A. is a badass. If it wasn’t for her, the only thing people would remember about the halftime show was rickety old and her old lady knees trying to climb up a bench. Instead, they’ll now remember M.I.A. escaping the censors and flipping off 100 million viewers after singing “I’m gonna say this once/I don’t give a shh.”

For the most part, the half-time show was lukewarm at best. Does anyone really want to watch Madonna shufflin’ or a young Richard Simmons bounce up and down on a tightrope while bounces on a platform? The only highlight was M.I.A. being awesome and black Liberace wearing his faaaabulous supreme court justice outfit.

This Week in Shoots – 02.03.2012

I’ve neglected the Week in Shoots for a couple weeks but stability was never my strong suit. Just ask my illegitimate children. Here’s a round-up of what happened this week.

As for what you’ll find in today’s photoshoot round-up.

  • Arianny Celeste in Complex.
  • Elisha Cuthbert in Shape.
  • Elizabeth Olson in ASOS.
  • Kim Kardashian in an Esquire shoot.
  • Leighton Meester shot by Mark Lidell.
  • Taylor Momsen in FHM (again?).
  • Tori Praver in lingerie.
What you won’t find in today’s round-up: your dad’s love.

Lana Del Ray on Letterman

, the manufactured indie darling who bombed her Saturday Night Live appearance and released her debut album to critical panning, made an appearance on Letterman the other night. She looked, decent. Her lips weren’t ridiculously inflated like in her music video so that was something, I guess?

But she still looked way hotter when she was Lizzy Grant. Before the music industry molded her into an indie Lady Gaga.

Women empowerment, ra ra ra. I’d like to call this Battle Royale for girls.

  • Does Jamie Lynn Spears think Teen Mom is brave? Of course she does. [The Superficial]
  • Justin Theroux is having a hard time playing “Mr. Jennifer Aniston.” Maybe because people keep on calling him “Mr. Jennifer Aniston.” [Celebitchy]
  • No words can describe Cameron Diaz’s beauty. Unless there’s a word that’s worse than “hideous.” Is there? [Celebslam]
  • What was Selita Ebanks doing at the Jersey Couture premiere? That’s probably a rhetorical question. If not, it’s “gettin’ paid!” [MoeJackson]
  • Demi Moore probably partook in that penis cake. [Yeeeah]
  • Daniel Radcliffe can’t handle his liquor. [EvilBeet]
  • Azealia Banks opens up about going both ways. [Bossip]
  • Rihanna and Drake at the Roxbury. I hope no studio exec looks at that line and thinks “I got an idea for a movie.” [Lainey]
  • Kim Kardashian and her butt left the gym. Yes, we’re at the point that Kim’s ass is now a separate entity to report on. [GCeleb]

Watch Miley Cyrus Have Sex

Miley Cyrus and Demi Moore star in LOL which is Miley’s first attempt at breaking into the adult industry. Wait, I phrased that wrong. Her first attempt at breaking into the adult film industry. Aw, dammit. This isn’t working.

Anyway, two clips from the movie are up including one where Demi finds a condom in Miley’s diary and another where Demi finds a box of empty condoms and a half-smoked joint. That Miley is a real slut.

The former Disney star seems eager to let people know she’s an adult, even if she’s still playing a teenager. “It’s pretty gnarly,” Cyrus told Reuters. “It is about a daughter who is involved with all the wrong kids, doing drugs, failing school, but the mother has her on this perfect pedestal. I just fell in love with the story.”

“I had been wanting to get out of what people think as the obvious choice for me to do next.” she said. “It was so freeing to not be, like ‘Alright, I’m happy!” and getting to be real and working with life’s real emotions. People are so used to me playing the happy girl. HuffPo

This marks Miley’s first love scene and it’s really idealized because she loses her virginity on a spur of the moment trip to Paris. A far cry from real life which probably involved a lot of sobbing and begging the pharmacist for a morning after pill.
