Shot through the vagina, and Rock of Love Bus is to blame.

Love / Shove post by Kelsey Wallace, Submitted by Kelsey Wallace on January 20, 2009 - 11:36pm; tagged alcohol, Bret Michaels, reality tv, Rock of Love, vagina shots, VH1, WTF?.
Just in case you are tired out from celebrating Obama's inauguration today (although if you aren't tired of celebrating you should totally watch this video) we thought we would bring you a little diversion. So let's take a minute and think not about this historic day and how happy we are to have a president who is not an international embarrassment, but instead about Rock of Love Bus. More specifically about the scene from the first episode where Nikki takes a shot from Gia's vagina. (Hey, we said we were going to give you a diversion, right?)

Oh Tila Tequila, how can we gays ever thank you enough?

Love / Shove post by Debbie Rasmussen, Submitted by Debbie Rasmussen on June 12, 2008 - 12:57pm; tagged assclowns, gay marriage, genderqueer, mtv, Myspace, queer, reality tv, Tila Tequila, WTF?.

Apparently all y'all gay folks in California who can now get married have Myspace/MTV reality assclown Tila Tequila to thank. From Us Magazine's website: 

"It is because of me — I definitely think [my show] has helped the movement," she told Usmagazine.com at the Hollywood premiere of The Love Guru on Wednesday.

"Before it came out, everyone was still a little apprehensive about [same sex relationships]," she said. "Then they realized, 'Wow, everyone is really into this stuff, and it is fine.' The next thing you know, [gay marriage] is legal."

Is Christian Siriano making a hot mess of the term "tranny"?

Love / Shove post by Andi Zeisler, Submitted by Andi Zeisler on March 14, 2008 - 2:44pm; tagged fashion, reality tv, tv, WTF?.

by Margaret Price

Project Runway 4: The Season of Love. And no designer was more lovable than the prancing, snapping, flat-iron–wielding Christian Siriano, who ended up winning it all—the final runway showdown, the spread in Elle, and the $10K Fan Favorite prize. Sassing and sewing with equal velocity, the diminuitive designer and self-described "big deal" introduced us to an array of hip, new-to-many-Americans phrases: Fierce! Ferosh! A hot mess up in here! A hot tranny mess up in here!

Wait. Tranny?

Who's Really the Biggest Loser?
Anniversary

“Obesity,” declares Charlotte Cooper, author of 1998’s Fat and Proud: The Politics of Size, “is just a word used by people to medicalize fat.” Extra weight, once considered a genetic short straw, is increasingly characterized as a crisis threatening the physical, political, and moral health of our nation—even as large bodies are becoming increasingly visible in popular culture.

Period Pieces

The Last Taboo of Reality TV
Article by Wendy Weiner, appeared in issue Home & Away; published in 2004; filed under Broadcast; tagged menstruation, period, reality tv, survivor.
The Last Taboo of Reality TV
Home & Away

Detailed discussions of diarrhea (Survivor). On-camera vomiting (The Bachelor, The Biggest Loser). Extensive cosmetic surgery (The Swan). Endless hot-tub makeout sessions (take your pick). On reality tv, no subject is too personal to reveal, no biological function too intimate to discuss—except for one final taboo too terrible to mention: menstruation.
