Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino photographed debuting his newest, stupidest haircut yet, somewhere in Jersey.

Nice shoes, brah.

So, our little Hermione Granger has decided to up and grow up and chop her hair off à la Keira Knightley, circa wheneverthefuckitwas.

My initial reaction? “Holy hell, someone magicked off her hair!” and then my second, more rational and positive reaction was, “Damn, girl, looking good.”

Your thoughts?

I’m not even sure how long this clip has been around, but it just made its way to my inbox, and I LOL’d myself half to death.

POOR JENNIFER ANISTON. She just has the worst luck with men!

It’s always interesting to see how American celebrities are perceived in other countries, and this video is a pretty good example of that. You see, apparently even in Taiwan they know that Lindsay Lohan’s behavior has been nothing short of a total joke, and they’ve animated her 2 year journey through the legal system. Boy, is it ever accurate.

I want to see what they’d do with Kurt and Courtney.

Everyone I know is blowing their load over Inception (except my BFF Edward, who thought it sucked ass) and lately a rumor has been going around that it may not exactly be the deepest/most interesting/most original in the history of film after all. People are saying that Christopher Nolan stole the idea for the movie from an old Scrooge MacDuck comic, and while “steal” isn’t the word I would use, The Answer Bitch had a pretty good explaination:

Still, there are quite a few similarities between the comic—entitled Uncle Scrooge in The Dream of a Lifetime—and the Leonardo DiCaprio flick. I dug around to see where writer-director Christopher Nolan got his idea. I also ran your query past some intellectual property experts to determine if we’re going to see any sort of duck-on-DiCaprio lawsuit in the near future:

And the answer to that latter question is, probably not.

There are simply too many differences in each story. Yes, both stories deal with dream invasion. Both have some form of thought manipulation. But beyond that, the stories start to diverge.

For one, “Dream manipulation has been around at least since Shakespeare’s fairies did it in A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” points out attorney Joseph R. Englander of Shutts & Bowen LLP. “The concepts of the comic and the movie may be similar, but that alone is not enough to claim infringement.”

Right. And there are other points of difference. There are ducks in the comic, not people.

And the motives in the two stories are totally different.

The goal in the Scrooge comic is simple theft; someone wants to steal Scrooge’s money. The impetus in Inception is some sort of something-something about two energy companies, and the head of one wants to break up the other, and everybody decides that the best way to do that is not through a hostile stock takeover but rather via Cillian Murphy‘s brain.

However, for the sake of argument, let’s just say that Nolan did happen to see that Scrooge comic. Let’s just say that one floppy little booklet gave him the idea to pen a tale about a bunch of pretty people who jack into dreams through their wrists—you know, where the dreams live?—and plunder all the thoughts therein.

Even so, it still doesn’t really count as a real ripoff, I am told.

So what do you think? And do you even care?

I always laugh at photos of celebrities covering their faces from the paparazzi. 1) What’s the point? Gossip blogs are just going to run the photos and call you a brat. 2) For someone to act like their face is a gift that cannot be shared, it’s as if they don’t realize it’s in the middle of their face and even if there weren’t cameras there, everyone would see it. 3) If the paparazzi follows you and takes your picture, it’s either because you’re asking for it or you’re so famous and high-paid that it’s just a part of the job.

That being said, I like Drew Barrymore and I feel bad that she and Justin Long broke up (again) still, so I’m not going to make fun of her. I’m just going to delicately point out that I already know what she looks like, she’s dressed like she wants to be seen and I’ve totally seen her looking worse.
