Justin Bieber is one of the biggest stars in the world and putting his name and face on pretty much anything will guarantee sales and a whole  lot of them. Passing up a chance to partner with Bieber means one of two things: 1) Your company is retarded, or 2) You must really hate Justin Bieber.

Ivanka Trump announced on her Twitter page yeserday that she and her husband are expecting their first child, not to mention making The Donald a first-time grand dad.  I couldn’t care less about The Apprentice these days (although the first three seasons killed it), but I loved Ivanka back in her teen modeling days. I remember reading an interview with her in Seventeen and even after I’d finished it, despite the fact that I still really had no idea who she was or why she was famous, I was totally captivated by her.

She and that one cute boyboy (Jared Kushner, owner of the New York Observer, don’t be so disrespectful, Molls) she married are probs gonna have some good lookin’ kidlets.

If not, you might want to hop on it before you miss your chance, because the ever offended Parents Television Council is busy writing letters to the government with complaints of child pornography.

Lest we think that the PTC is simply all up in a conservative tizz again, they’re not the only ones concerned – so are MTV executives. It turns out that the actors playing the main cast are all between the ages of 15 and 19, and if you know Skins (and heads up, you just have to know the British version, because the new one is just a poorly done remake of the original), there are a lot of racy shenanigans concerning the main cast.  For example, remember Chris’ first episode where his mom leaves him a bunch of money and skips town, and Chris blows all the money on a party, then he realizes his mom left for good and he gets kicked out of his own house by a homeless dude who was sleeping in his tub, and there’s that tragic little scene where he just has to buck up and walk down the street naked?  Yeah, that scene’s going to be in the U.S. version, but the guy playing Chris is only 17.  And according to the PTC (and, you know, laws and stuff), that sort of material is not so good.

I consider myself to be a pretty liberal person, but I’m with the PTC on this one.  Not because I have strong feelings about child pornography (please consider that statement in context), but because I have strong feelings about how shitty MTV’s show is.  Really, did you watch it?  I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that it’s the worst thing that ever happened.  The acting was horrible, it wasn’t funny or charming or anything at all that made the original Skins wonderful, and they replaced beautiful tap dancing Maxxie with a lesbian cheerleader.  I say lock them up for all the injustices in the world.

Is there anything hotter than a hot guy who believes in Santa Claus playing a ukulele and being all warm and charming and hot and old-fashioned and HOT? Let me force-feed you the answer: NO.

And just in case the endearing above video wasn’t enough for you, there’s a Ryan Gosling photo gallery down there for you to page through on this beautiful Friday morning. Because I love Ryan Gosling, and there’s no such thing as crossing the line into obsession when it comes to too much LOVE.

What do you guys think about Ryan Gosling?

I’m putting all of my snark aside* this morning (I KNOW, RIGHT?) to tell you that George Clooney, A-list actor and humanitarian, has confirmed through his rep that he did, indeed, contract Malaria on a recent trip to the Sudan.

While this isn’t a huge, huge, huge deal for a very wealthy resident of a first-world country who has fortuitous access to live-saving drugs and maintenance medications, it is a huge deal to a person or family living in desolation in a third-world country, where cleanliness, moderate temperatures, and plentiful resources aren’t exactly rampant.

This news comes on the heels of a recent trip to Africa for the actor, and in light of recent developments, Clooney is scheduled to talk disease prevention alongside his father on an upcoming installment of Piers Morgan’s new show on CNN.

I’ve always admired George Clooney for his efforts across the globe, and being of such strong moral fiber that he’d raise awareness of social issues, even if it meant putting himself in danger’s way. I totally respect that.

And I guess he finally one-upped Angelina Jolie, too. She goes and feeds the starving children of third-world countries, and he goes and contracts one of their illnesses. Dirty pool, old man. Dirty pool.

*Sorry. Just couldn’t resist.
