Bieber's New Commercial; Doomsday Postponed
lunchtime quickie: 5 links you'll lovecanada
(May.24.11)
* Stop pressing refresh on the Ticketmaster page! There's an easier way to see Justin Bieber in person. According to the new ad, one spritz of his perfume will cause the Biebs to materialize in your room, whisk you to the heavens for a quick make-out session and deliver you home — virginity presumably still intact — before your parents can figure out his purple sneaks had ever crossed the threshold of your house. Is he part angel? Part vampire? Part pegasus? Naw. He's just Justin. [The Atlantic]
* Speaking of potential angels, in case you didn't notice, Doomsday didn't exactly happen on Saturday. But on the off chance you were really looking forward to it, you'll be happy to know that it's been postponed until October 21. Save the date. [CNN]
* Another thing that didn't/might not happen? You might not want to hold your breath for a Gwyneth Paltrow record being released any time soon. The actress, cookbook author and ultimate GOOPster reportedly wanted a million dollars to sign a record deal with Atlantic, a figure the record company deemed "ridiculous." Which is an adjective we've been using to describe GP more and more these days. [Glamour]
* We're also pretty sure the end times have been postponed to accommodate Oprah's last three send-off shows. The second of the Farewell Spectacular shows airs today and is set to feature even bigger surprises, more legendary legends and (of course) lots and lots of Kleenex. We're getting choked up just thinking about it. [Oprah]
* The Internets are going crazy for the actually affordable dress that Kate Middleton wore to meet the Obamas. Want the $350 Reiss 'Shola' dress for your own closet? Since the deluge of interest has caused some serious technical issues on the retailer's site, you might have to content yourself with, well, refreshing the page. [Racked]
