Obvs a trainer because chiropracty is quackery. :)
Seeing as how it’s Tuesday and my life is now such that my mind is still racing with thoughts from last night’s episode of The Bachelorette, I’d like to tickle everyone’s fancy with a very stupid conversation. This morning, I hit up my dear friend Kate Dries, because who else am I obligated to share my every inane…
Blagojevich apparently asked Pritzker if he wanted Obama's Senate seat, to which Pritzker replied he was "really not that interested," and asked Blagojevich if he would instead like to appoint him as Illinois State Treasurer. [ more › ]
Hey Suze, you want to go to this? Wednesday evening, south shore. I know you're busy packing up your entire life, but don't want to not ask you in case you need a night off. <3
Typical Wonkette parties are like this
OH HELLO, Wonkers, are you a Chicagoan or a Detroiter or a Minneapolino? (That’s what people in Minneapolis call themselves, correct? We’ll look that up NEVER and get back to you.) You might remember we told Chicago and Detroit that Wonkette is rolling on through in the Wonkebago this week, and that is still happening. But GUESS WHAT WE ARE COMING TO MINNEAPOLIS TOO! So cancel whatever you are doing TOMORROW NIGHT (Tuesday) because you are coming to the Wonkette party instead. Sorry about your other “plans.”
Details:
WHEN: 4-7 PM
WHERE: City of Minneapolis, just look for us!
WHERE FOR REAL: Bar Luchador! It is in Stadium Village on the U of M campus! The address is 825 SE Washington Avenue, the location of which you can find by referring to “maps.”
Chicago, remember we are in you on WEDNESDAY at 6 PM at the Margaret Burroughs Beach Park at 3100 S. Lake Shore Dr. Bring blankets and camping chairs and foods and vegetarian foods for grilling and NOT CHICAGO PIZZA.
Detroit, you are next, and that is on FRIDAY, June 6, at the Belle Isle Park, “in the open land across the road from the giant slide,” according to our previous post. Here is a map of the park, where “Giant Slide” is helpfully labeled as “H.” Apparently it costs $10 ameros to get into the park if you are driving, but if you take the bus it is free, so you just decide how you want to handle all that.
Detroit people should also bring “all the things” to the park.
For the rest of you, it is time for your open thread, so chit-chat or whatever, we don’t know.
Wonkette is fully funded by readers like you! If you love us, click below, for to fund us!
A similar situation happened in my hometown. A 14 year old girl pretended to be the girlfriend of an 11-year old boy. She recruited a bunch of friends to make him think she had killed herself and encourage him to do it too so he could be with her forever in heaven. He took his own life. An 11 year old. It's just heartbreaking.
Update: Michelle Carter waived her right to a jury trial, opting instead for the decision to be reached in by the judge in a bench trial.

This song is a jam, and the interview is super sweet. BRB buying her album.

In “Thunder Thighs,” the latest video from Miss Eaves, a Brooklyn-based musician, artist, designer and director, a gaggle of gorgeous women and girls take to the stoops and streets of Bed-Stuy flaunting, and feeling obviously great about it.

Are there no nice-looking flush-mount lights? Surely, they have to be out there...somewhere, so we decided to do a little hunting, and here's what we found.

In an apparent break with a nearly two-decades long bipartisan tradition, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has declined to host an event commemorating the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, according to two administration officials familiar with the decision.
Like many families I know, mine is addicted to LaCroix, or, as it's called in my apartment, "bubbles water." Lime, peach-pear, cran-raspberry, pamplemousse — we love them all! One time I posted an Instagram shot of the cases and cases of LaCroix stacked in the window of my local Key Food and the official LaCroix account actually liked my photo! I just about peed my pants, I was so excited. True story!
As you've probably read on this site, citric acid (otherwise known as the juice of citrus like lemon, lime, and grapefruit) has great cleaning power. It cuts through stains, fights bacteria, and smells great, too — that's why we like to use it for an all-purpose cleaner. And club soda is also a handy stain-buster, best known for helping you feel better as you blot red wine off your blouse at a nice restaurant.
I'm very surprised that the Jeremy Piven one looks the best. Huh.
As our favorite shows begin their descent into the void (New Girl, Scandal, Girls), new shows are once again out here crying for approval. This year’s TV pilots—full of mostly white male leads and showrunners—include military dramas, medical dramas, Will & Grace and a Lucifer-produced Big Bang Theoryspin-off we don’t…
I am ridiculously excited for this. It was an amazing show, and watching the "trailer" for it (really just clips from old episodes) I get a little choked up. I didn't realize how much I missed it.

My friend Laura made all the latex costume pieces for this vid! Katy Perry has been calling her a lot for clothes lately!
The video for that song you probably won’t be able to escape from for the next six to nine months—Katy Perry’s new Migos-assisted track, “Bon Appétit”—has been released.
Um, is Nick Jonas the winner so far? I think he is. Also: Frances Bean Cobain looks remarkably like Fairuza Balk.
It's been a volatile year so far, to say the least. Which is why we arguably need the frivolity, beauty and low-stakes drama of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Benefit – a.k.a. the Met Gala or Met Ball – more than ever. After last year's tech- and

Fans of TheFast and the Furious franchise—and of Jason Statham and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s palpable on-screen chemistry—were perhaps disappointed that the two never wound up kissing in the latest film, The Fate of the Furious. If you haven’t yet, I defy you to watch the above scene and tell me these two people…
This is important research here. I super love the Jiffy cornbread muffins, and now I'll be trying the raspberry too.
Jiffy baking mixes are iconic and adorable, but you’ve probably only used one or two—and one of those was probably the corn muffin mix. But there are many other mixes to explore and, because I am a dedicated investigative food journalist, I decided to test all of the little blue boxes I could find.

How's your day going? Could you use a little break? Surely you could take 52 seconds to hit pause on life for a moment and give yourself a sense of calm. Good thing there's this soothing video of someone creating perfect spiral shavings that's exactly what we didn't know we needed to see.
