CHICAGO — When Deena Cortese was added to the cast of “Jersey Shore” in Season 3, she was nervous that she wouldn’t be welcome, that she wouldn’t be able to forge a place for herself in a group with well-established social dynamics.
For one group of people, at least, Ms. Cortese is no footnote. At the UChicago Conference on Jersey Shore Studies here on Friday, she popped up frequently as a subject of academic discussion, particularly for an episode in which she thwarted the Situation’s attempt to bring home twins by swiping one for herself. In the process she became a trickster figure, upending the show’s heteronormativity and its power dynamics. (via)

rick perry, drunk again.



from a speech he gave over the weekend in new hampshire. watch him get the maple syrup at the end. ceeyute!

a feud between two of my favorite ladies!

Perez Hilton (via the National Enquirer) says that MObama is beside herself over the fact that Paula Deen called out the Obamas' greasy eating habits in her new book, Paula Deen's Southern Cooking Bible. "She probably ate more than any other guest I ever had on the show!" writes Deen. "She kept eating even dur­ing commercials. Know what (the Obamas') favorite foods are? Hot wings. Y'know — those kinds of foods that aren't necessarily top-of-the-list healthy foods.” (via)

however:
Paula Deen says there’s no beef between her and Michelle Obama. After reports that Deen was in trouble for crowing that the healthy-eating first lady enjoys fried foods, Deen told us, “There’s no truth ... that Mrs. Obama called me to stop talking about her [2008] appearance on my program. We had the best time. I taught her how to make fried shrimp and fries. It was easy to see by her buff arms she follows a healthy lifestyle, but it didn’t stop her from enjoying the food. Everything in moderation!” (via)

what else did we see in knoxville?


UT students organized a "Fear the Pants" flash mob during the Vols' Oct. 29 game against South Carolina. Former UT coach and college football hall-of-famer Johnny Majors makes a cameo. FEAR THE PANTS! (via)
also:
Majors, many of you will remember, wore the orange pants during his early tenure at Tennessee. Tennessee teams also wore the orange pants on the road with the white jerseys during that time, with only a few exceptions when they wore the white pants (e.g., 1979 at Alabama, 1979 at Ole Miss, 1981 Georgia, 1982 Vanderbilt).
