7 Notable TV Crossovers

7 Notable TV Crossovers

When we interviewed Liz Gillies at the Victorious press junket, she mentioned that her show would be doing a crossover with Nickelodeon’s other big earner, iCarly, called iParty with Victorious: “It’s wild and fun, and there’s a really cool guest star.” With the special airing on June 11, Nick just released a behind-the-scenes video of stars Miranda Cosgrove and Victoria Justice, plus their respective casts, performing a mash-up of their theme songs. Yep, they take the idea of a TV crossover very seriously. Oh, and Kenan Thompson is gonna be on it. More »

Food Tube: Happy Chip & Dip Day!

Food Tube: Happy Chip & Dip Day!

While today you have free reign to squeal over furry little puppies, Gothamist points out that it’s also Chip & Dip Day. What better way to celebrate than with another installment of Food Tube, where I find TV shows that reference the food of the moment, with handy recipes. It’s surprising how many series had episodes referencing this handy snack; I tried to make the recipes match up as much as possible while still giving you enough variety of the “chips + dip” equation.

Food Tube: Fat Tuesday’s Best TV Gluttons

Food Tube: Fat Tuesday's Best TV Gluttons

So I realized this morning that today is Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday — the day before Lent begins, where you get to stuff your face without reproach because you’ll be giving up those vices for the next 40 days. And when it comes to religious observances, art imitates life quite a bit. You’d be surprised at how many TV shows use food frenzy as a plot device, whether it’s slapstick with characters fighting over something tasty, or food as a destructive force. More »

5 Tips for Dealing with a Horrible Roommate Situation

5 Tips for Dealing with a Horrible Roommate Situation

Once upon a time, a group of college friends found themselves trapped in a terrible roommate situation.

The friends had decided to move in with a lesser-known acquaintance, not knowing how joyless and bossy she was. (We’ll call the acquaintance PG – Psycho Girl.) The girls had no way out of the lease, as they had already signed it and there was no chance in hell of PG allowing them to find sublets for all their rooms and move the hell out of there. So, they went with it. It was a difficult year, but they really made the best of it. It was a pretty explosive living situation but they (ok fine, I) soon discovered that the situation could even be fun. And so, here are 5 tips for dealing with a horrible dorm/roommate situation.

Video: Would Jennifer Aniston Have Made A Good 'SNL' Cast Member?

Could you imagine Jennifer Aniston on SNL? Apparently Jen was offered a full-time role on the show, altough she turned it down for Friends.

10 Friends That You Actually Need In Your Life

Our friends over Lemondrop did a post today about the top 10 friends every girl should keep around. Reading the list, you would think that “friendship” was just another word for “getting stuff for free.” Why else would you need a doctor/lawyer friend, an accountant friend, and a chef?

We here at Crushable firmly believe that you should pick your friends for the right reasons: Because they make you look good. That’s why we created our own top 10 list of friends every girl should have in her life. More »

An Open Letter to My Friends (Who Are Always Wrong)

An Open Letter to My Friends (Who Are Always Wrong)

Dear friends,
Look, I’m sorry that I’m always right.

Let me start off by telling you that I love you. I love you and I feel like I owe you an apology. I’m getting the feeling that my always being right is hard for you to accept. While I experience my unquestionable correctness as empowering, it poses a threat to the people I love most. I can’t bring myself to say that I’m sorry that I’m always right and you are not, but I’d like to apologize for taking such pleasure in it. I understand the embarrassment you feel when I am right and you are wrong is maximized when I say “I told you so…” or allow a grin to escape me. I’ll admit it’s a little hard for me to truly sympathize as I can’t know exactly how you feel since I’m always right (never wrong) and have never experienced your level of humiliation. But when I imagine how that must feel, the experience is unfavorable to say the least More »

Okay, so maybe we’re a little paranoid, but we always wonder what that guy we’re dating does when he’s with his friends. What do they talk about? How do they talk about girls? Do they like us to hang out with their bros and do they mind spending time with our friends, too? We were so curious we asked three guys — Dave, Adam and Keith — to let us into the minds of guys and their thoughts on their “bros.” More »
