the covers of entertainment weekly in 1993 were just weird

I was trying to come up with the perfect word to describe this collection of magazine covers, but I just don't know that I can. As much as I always read about the 90s and remember them and love them, these all seem to come from a different planet now.

Marky Mark Wahlberg, shirtless, carefree, and rapping. As much as I know it happened, I still can't imagine it anymore.

CAN YOU BELIEVE MICHAEL JACKSON?! Well, yeah... but do we get it?! Still no.

So what you're saying is... it's just a cult hit, it'll never go anywhere, and it's got nothing to offer to pop culture? Oh.

Here's the thing... I feel like nowadays, people go from good-bad, not bad-good. All those Disney girls? They wanna be as much anti-Disney as possible now. Were good girls actually sexy back then?!

Sex and family shows sharing the spotlight... well, maybe that's not so weird nowadays.

OMGOMGOMG CONEHEADS! IT'S GOING TO BE SO GOOD! [Side note: At least all these movies were original! Aren't we just getting remakes and sequels in the summer these days?]

You rock that all denim and plaid, Tom! ...Wait.... he's a leading man NOW?! [Makes me wonder who will end up becoming a legend like him in another 20 years. Any bets?]

WHY IS EVERYTHING ABOUT REINVENTION?! Did everyone hate themselves? Was there a depression or something I'm unaware of?! 

Quite simple why this one's weird: Radio people never make the headlines of this level for something they did themselves these days. Everyone's too afraid of getting fired or getting fined. It's sad, huh? Trust me, I know.

Considering I don't know who he is, I guess it never really worked out for him. I'm sure he appreciates the effort though, EW. 

BTW These are the past 6 covers.... I don't think I need to prove the lack of originality anymore.... but props to Dexter.

listen: beyonce can't sing

Speaking of Beyonce... It looks like she's not as good of a singer as everyone thought. Howard Stern got the audio of the board feed of her performing on The Today Show, and it's ugly.



YIKES! And people made fun of Britney's mic feed?! Psh. This is just as bad, if not worse. She's tone deaf! Wow.

I wonder what she'll say about this..? Howard Stern-- Good job, buddy!

somewhat unbelievable

Ever think about how old different celebs are? I feel like a lot of times they're doing things that are older/younger than their age. For example, older people are going out and partying all crazy, or younger ones are growing up fast, getting married, having kids, etc. But because they have an image of whatever age, they stay that age forever it seems. Check out some examples.. and compare them to other celebs their age..

Angelina Jolie vs. Tara Reid--> 33 y/o


Yea, they're the same age. And though I think they somewhat look the same age-wise, they sure don't act it. Angelina is still very much a sex symbol for younger people, but she's married, and has what, 100 kids by now? She's adopted, traveled around the world, made tons of HUGE movies. She's a grown woman. Tara on the other hand.. yes, still a hottie, but is still known for her partying, being scandalous, and doing a little less serious of movies/tv shows.

Scarlett Johansson vs. Lindsay Lohan--> 24 y/o


Both have sweet abbreviated names.. but ScarJo acts quite a bit older than our once sweet, young, straight Parent Trap star LiLo. Scarlett just got married last week to Ryan Reynolds.. around the same time that Lindsay "came out." Scarlett is trying to be the next Hollywood STARlet, which LiLo is trying to live the college life she never had. The worst part is about this one, I don't think I can say that they are BOTH "hott" right now.. BUT.. as terrible as this is, I feel like Lindsay lives like a 24 year old more than Mrs. Johansson-Reynolds does.

Howard Stern vs. Denzel Washington--> 54 y/o

I feel like I don't need to explain anything on this one. Even though Mr. Nasty himself got married this past weekend, I don't know that we can say he's on the same level as Mr. Washington. Denzel has won 2 Academy Awards and 3 Golden Globes. Howard Stern has won.. uh.. yea, I don't know. They're the prime example of classy vs. raunchy, and that is all I need or can say.

Thank you LimeLife for the inspiration for this post. :)

The all time raunchiest man is officially MARRIED!!

That's right.. Howard Stern, everyone's favorite nasty radio man, has married his girlfriend Beth Ostrosky. [Good name! ;)]

Who was there? Well, Mark Consuelos [ya know, Kelly Ripa's hubby..] performed the ceremony. Jimmy Kimmel, Sarah Silverman, Barbara Walters, Billy Joel, Chevy Chase, and the Trumps were also there.. With Billy Joel singing and Chevy Chase giving a nice, inappropriate toast.

Stern totally vowed to never marry again after his last divorce in 2000, but then said "I'm a hypocritical liar, as you know, things change, love happens, love blossoms.." on David Letterman earlier this year.

Will he change his show any?? I doubt it.. but being married brings out a different person, even on a raunchy radio show. I've witnessed it myself. But, he IS somewhat of a legend, so I guess we'll see. I could be proven wrong, for sure.

Congrats, guys! Beth, keep him under control will ya?! ;)
