Pink, Britney and Beyonce play gladiators to Enrique Iglesias' evil Roman emperor in new Pepsi commerical.

Pink and Beyonce are no longer on speaking terms. I'm sure that saddens Beyonce to no end.

Pink and Beyoncé are battling it out. The bootylicious star wore fur to the London premiere of a Pepsi commercial which stars the two, along with Britney Spears. Pink, a staunch animal rights activist, became furious with Beyoncé, according to reports, and is now refusing to speak with her.
pepsi sucks anyway

You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

Mine: "The higher the monkey climbs, the more you see his ass." (sorry Flinty)

Anyone else?

Never try and teach a pig to sing. You waste your time and you annoy the pig.

I thought your favorite was, "no matter how gorgeous the woman, someone, somewhere, is tired of fucking her."

The unfortunate part is that I can't remember it exactly, but I'm sure Atticus or someone will know the exact wording (and etymology -- but please, Atticus (or proxy thereof), restrain yourself).

It's something like "Mutton trying to be lamb."

Anyone? Bueller?

I had a British boss who used to say "Mutton in lamb's clothing".

So those hideous tacky shiny bondage outfits she wears are not only hideous, tacky, and shiny, but vinyl as well?

She's batting a thousand.

If your grandmother had wheels, she'd be a trolley car.

My grandfather used to say this. I still ahve no idea what he meant.

I have no idea what this means.

"A sperm whale left to wait will explode."

I have no idea what this means either, but I have found a picture to illustrate:

No, that's my best friend's favorite. My favorite sex-related chestnut is "Just shut up and fuck me."

The Yiddish version is: If your bubbe had baytzim, she'd be a zayde. Translation: if granny had balls, she'd be granddad.

I always understood it to mean, never try to teach a pig to sing...

My grandfather said this too. I think it meant, "Damn, that bitch is fat!"

ETA: Fuck. Too slow on the trigger.

A true milestone would be if she finally grew a fucking nose.
