Hot Chicks With No Eyebrows (HCWNE) is a photoshop blog dedicated to removing famous women's eyebrows and causing readers to shudder. It reminds me of the Hot Chicks with Douchebags blog. HCWNE is only 70 posts deep as of yet (two month's worth of entries), and mildly addicting to flip through.Some of the entries are scary because of their alien-like appearance, and some of them because of the butchered photoshop job. The Natalie Portman in particular looks like someone took a curling iron to her plastic face, then tried to shove the melting material back in place. (Lay off the smudge tool, cowboys!) Clearly, this confirms my theory that if Whoopi Goldberg had eyebrows, she would be normal-looking but not famous. Q. E. D. 
Runner up:
The Closest Marriage is a Slate.com piece that could have won, except it runs for way too long. In it, married couple David Plotz (Deputy Editor of Slate.com) and Hanna Rosin (Contributing writer to The Atlantic Monthly) spend a whole day less than 15 feet apart. They deftly juggle kids, bathroom breaks, and that buzzard of a cameraman.
I liked watching David Plotz freaking out about the lack of Frescas in his fridge. He sounds like a whiny man-child. Bonus points for including SNL footage of the Love Toilet (SO GROSS! Haha.). Double bonus points for both journalists being incredibly self-aware and and drawing conclusions from their experience without making it seem like a contrived conclusion to an ill-conceived term paper. Decompressing at the end of the day is an important part of my routine. Good work all around.
(From Buzzfeed, which, BTW... One link? One link is not a trend.)
