Don’t Try To Tell Us Vampires Are The New Gays

6:24AM Brian Moylan | The theory that teen girls are suddenly all about vampires because they want to have sex with gay men is interesting. Also, total crap. More »

‘Esquire’ Wants You to Know That Vince Vaughn is Fat Now

8:44AM Kyle Buchanan | When Vince Vaughn first made his mark with Swingers, he was so whippet-thin that his wild, improvised riffs almost seemed to be a unique form of cardio. Now that a decade has passed, though, things have changed — a fact that Esquire’s new issue takes great pains to point out. Vince Vaughn is not thin anymore, each line of its cover story (entitled “The Biggest Man in the Room”) seems to say. No, Vince Vaughn is now a fatty, a great big fatty fat person. Think we’re joking? Enjoy this opening paragraph, with all the ooky, relevant parts bolded in Defamer ChubbyFont™: More »

A Sex-Starved Nation Turns To ‘Sexiest Woman Alive’ Halle Berry For Emergency Relief

6:00AM Seth | Unlike People’s definitive Sexiest Man Alive title, Esquire faces a great many challengers to its fairer-sex equivalent, from Maxim’s Power Cleavage 100 to the Stuff Bang-Worthy Countdown. Still, Esquire is to be commended for repeatedly rewarding quality over gravity-defying quantity, and so we applaud their 2008 choice of Halle Berry. Now 42 and a new mum, Berry’s humble acceptance speech acts also as a master class for any fans interested in learning what gets the Perfect Stranger star going: More »

How the ‘Anne Hathaway Loves Anal Sex’ Rumour Fooled The Internet

2:40AM Kyle Buchanan | It’s the rumour that’s been burning up the internet for the last few days: in an upcoming issue of Esquire, actress Anne Hathaway will open up about her love of anal sex. After describing it as one of the most sensual things she’s ever done and something that makes her feel “feminine in a very special way,” the actress supposedly says, “Every woman should try it, otherwise they miss out on something amazing.” While Hathaway has played her fair share of sexually provocative roles in films like Havoc and Brokeback Mountain, we were skeptical of her newfound candor; nevertheless, the rumour has only built up steam over the last few days (it was spread by Gawker, LA Rag Mag, and thousands of other sites). Emboldened by our investigation into Megan Fox’s own magazine confessions, we knew we had to find out: are these Hathaway quotes for real, and if not, where did they come from?

Jessica Simpson Tries To Pull A Lohan, Minus Rhyme, Reason And Nudity

7:30AM Molly Friedman | As proven by Lindsay Lohan, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a contemporary actress attempting to recreate the magic of an iconic 60s photo shoot. But while the just-rehabbed Lohan chose to recreate an infamous shoot featuring soft-core nudity, Jessica Simpson chose to … shave her face? Don’t get us wrong, we loves us some Verna Lisi, but this just doesn’t have the same Wow Factor. More »

The Definitive List Of George Clooney’s Ladyloves

9:48AM Jess McGuire | Everybody’s been enjoying poring over George Clooney’s recent interview with Esquire, yes? If you haven’t seen it, go here and have a read – it simply confirmed our massive Clooney crush as something which should be pursued full time (it tends to peak whenever it is Oscars season and we get to see the man in a suit making quips that leave us breathless and flushed, but then we forget about him by late March and begin ogling pictures of Gale Harold from Queer As Folk for the rest of the year instead. Mmmm, Brian Kinney gay goodness…). During the interview process, George was shown a website which had a list of famous women they believed he’s bedded during his time as a Hollywood heartthrob, and George helpfully confirmed or denied the couplings for the Esquire journalist. The full list wasn’t included in the original published interview, but Esquire have popped it online as an “outtake”. We found it enlightening, and you probably will too. We haven’t worked out the average breast size for the confirmed Clooney conquests, so we cannot tell you definitively if he really is an enthusiast of all things flat-chested, as News Ltd so recently feared… More »
