Over the past decade or so, Angelina Jolie’s public image has moved from that of a blood-necklace wearing bad girl with tattoos dating a weirdo, to that of a husband-stealing, Jennifer-Anniston’s-life-ruining, I can’t believe she did that!, how could she!!!, Jennifer Anniston is so sad White House visiting mother with remnants of tattoos that she is in the process of getting removed, dating Brad Pitt. It’s fine. We all change, we all grow up. At some point we all have to put down the Manic Panic and move upload all of our our Dead Kennedys CDs onto the computer, so we can load them onto our iPhone, right next to Deerhunter and the Dirty Projectors, where they will sit largely unlistened t0 for the rest of our lives. But luckily for most of us, we get to do this in the privacy of our own apartments and high school yearbook photos. Someone like poor old Angelina Jolie has to do it right in the public eye, and now the entire world’s public asking in chorus — “Angelina, ARE YOU STILL A BAD GIRL???” Except sometimes we’re not asking her, and sometimes we’re asking her boyfriend, Brad Pitt — desperately searching for an answer, no matter where we can get it from. So Brad Pitt, PLEASE answer the question. IS ANGELINA STILL A BAD GIRL? From CBS:
Think of the craziest celebrity news you could ever hear. Now take it up a notch. Now turn it on its head. NOW DOUBLE IT! Ok, did you get “‘an insider’ telling OK! magazine that Russel Brand has been sending ‘funny, flirty’ texts to Zooey Deschanel, the celebrity woman who looks very similar to his celebrity newly ex-wife, Katy Perry”? You didn’t? You couldn’t have thought of that in a million billion blog years? ‘Cause it’s TOO SCANDALOUS and above all SO TRUE, PROBABLY? WELL! From OK!:
“Russell has had his eye on Zooey for a long time,” discloses an insider. “And he’s been sending funny, flirty texts to see if they can get together.”
The insider continues, “He thinks she’s hysterically funny and cute, too. He loves her quirky sense of humor, and thinks they’d be great together both on-and off-screen. There’s a real spark there.”
The actress is said to be “intrigued” by the idea of working with Russell, 36. “But she’s heard about his reputation as a womanizer, and isn’t sure whether she’s ready to rush into another relationship so quickly.”
It’s lucky that this insider happens to be BOTH a Russel Brand insider and a Zooey Deschanel insider. Lucky for us. So, obviously, congratulations to the happy couple. Zooey, Russel Brand seems like a beautiful man — certainly not the first man who comes to mind when asked, “Quick, think of the grossest man.” And Russel, you couldn’t have chosen a better woman to have in your life both on-and off-screen. I can’t wait for your movie and your marriage. Sometimes you don’t know what kind of celebrity gossip is going to fall into your lap, and sometimes it’s the most beautiful kind. But — What do YOU think about this Hollywood pairing?!?!! Plz send what you think about this hollywood pairing to MrsBrand@hllwd.gozzip/fun/true.
Fair enough. Have fun, buddy! (Via TheDailyWhat.)
Hey, remember Citizen Marketing? Well it never left.

Luckily for you, you still have time to buy* you and your sweetheart The Kissinger, a virtual kissing device that looks like a little round pig and enables three modes of interaction:
- Human to Human tele-kiss through the device

- Human to Virtual character physical/virtual kiss
So it doesn’t matter if you’re dating a human, a robot, or a character in a game you play (!!!!!!!). NO JUDGIES! It’s Valentine’s Day, a day for love and kissing, no matter WHOM it is between.
New York Magazine’s Vulture blog has an interview with Josh Hutcherson today, the young actor who stars in the highly-anticipated action-adventure film, Journey 2 More Center Of Re-Earth, and who will also play Peeta in the upcoming adaptation of The Hunger Games. It turns out the young heart throb is ready to throw his propeller cap into the ring of On-Set Hollywood Pranksters:
Vulture: But you’re more of a prankster …
Josh Hutcherson: Well, on Journey, I had this running prank going when we were shooting in the jungle, where I would take a stick, or a twig, and poke it in someone’s ear and make them think they had bugs crawling in there. Vanessa [Hudgens] and I were messing with Luis [Guzman] for about eight minutes once, poking something in his ear, pulling it out, watching him freak out. It was so hard not to laugh. And finally he went, “I see you.” That was the best one for sure. And on Hunger Games, I took a dummy, one that the tracker-jackers were supposed to have attacked, and I put it in Jennifer’s bathroom, and when she opened the door, she peed her pants. Or so I was told — she told me later. I did not get visual confirmation on that one. I think I’m basically a 5-year-old at heart.
What a fun and funny prank! Especially for a grown man like Luis Guzman who has spent his like as a hard-working actor building a career over years and years, the thrill of just having some teenager on the set poking you in the ear with a stick, it’s like, you’ve arrived, you know? The dream is realized. It doesn’t get any better than this. Luis Guzman probably called his wife at the end of that day’s shooting in tears and was just like “where do I go from here, now that I have achieved everything I’ve ever wanted?”
Here’s a question, did Josh Hutcherson ever prank The Rock?
In Michigan last night, during the Super Bowl, Republican candidate Pete Hoekstra ran an ad attacking the incumbent senator, Debbie Stabenow, that is just crazy racist. Like, oh man. Like, whoa. The ad features a “Chinese” woman riding a bicycle through a rice paddy who explains in broken English how China is going to take over the United States thanks to people like Debbie Stabinow and how that makes her so happy. Did I mention that the music playing in the background is only half a degree away from just straight up being a racist Ching Chong jingle? No? Well the music playing in the background is only half a degree away from just straight up being a racist Ching Chong jingle. The point is, you should definitely vote for Pete Hoekstra if you are a terrified white person filled with confusion and hatred, and here is just one of the reasons why:

Description: Local news woman announces local sausage eating/making competition that she will be judging. (See also: Kielbasaflict of Interest.) In such instances, TWSS is almost inevitable. Although TWSS occurs near end of clip and local news woman is clearly cognizant of TWSS and even shamed by TWSS, entire clip could be viewed as contextual TWSS created by anticipation and use of words such as “sausage” and “enter” and “judge.” FILE UNDER: Canadian TWSS, Food TWSS.
