Merry Christmas 2012

We at Slap the Penguin would like to wish all our readers a Merry Christmas. Not 'Happy Holidays' or 'Season's Greetings'. We are not afraid to use the C-word. Christmas is the holiday that we celebrate and we are going to damn well enjoy it. Feel free to enjoy your own personal choice of religious festival.

Who will play '50 shades' Christian Grey?

Some enormously disappointing news for Chasing Tantrum fans this week, as he has excluded himself from the ever increasing list of hunks thought to be playing the role of Christian Grey in the movie adaptation of E.L. James' steamy novel, 50 Shades of Grey.

Which actor will have a non-stop S&M sexfest?

Royal baby on the horizon

Latest reports indicate that 'We are pregnant'. We being William and Kate, and I would bet that it is more Kate than it is William, although he may have had a small part in the conception. Conception, which according to an announcement from 'The Palace', happened approximately 12 weeks ago, and according to our calculations puts it right in the exact area of time that Kate was flashing her goodies to the paparazzi.

William and Kate plus 1. Or is it +2?

Taylor Swift is a slut

Seriously, how many 'men' is that chick going to date? I admit that "slut" may be a slightly strong term to use since we don't know how many of them she actually slept with, but the headline got your attention. The 22 year old country music star has now been seen out with Harry Styles from Brit boy-band One Direction, just hours after dumping her previous beau, Conor Kennedy.

Taylor is planning her January boyfriend already

Lindsay Lohan - What Now?

Lindsay Lohan is a favorite of the Slap the Penguin crew, thanks to her constant disregard not just for the law, but for reality. It seems that we can't go an entire month without hearing about LiLo getting into some kind of trouble. So why has she been a conspicuous absentee on STP?

What got slapped 12 months ago - December 2011

For regular fans of this segment, you may notice a small change in the format. For first time visitors you will probably be blissfully unaware of how things used to work. TTLY has changed to a monthly format, so instead of posting a review of the previous year every week, I will be sifting through an entire month of posts and highlighting the top stories from that period, which will be published on the first Sunday of each month, which just happens to be today. Sit down, strap yourself in and lets take a trip back to December 2011.

December Caption Contest

I know what you are going to say. "What happened to the November caption contest...?" The November caption contest never happened thanks to a collection of interesting reasons, which I am not going to get into.
