For a few month now, Carrie Fisher from Star Wars and William Shatner from Star Trek have been at each other’s throats. Shatner started it, then Fisher struck back by essentially calling Star Trek second-rate, but then Shatner got a little personal, bringing up Fisher’s weight. I guess that’s when George Takei, one of the world’s most glorious men and a man who has worked in both series, decided that he needed to defuse the situation.

Personally, I think George has a pretty solid point. After all, nobody’s going to back down in this fight and, well, Twilight IS really, really bad. What are your thoughts?

“The director, Nick Cassavetes, called me to meet him at his house. When I got there, he was standing in his back yard, and he looked at me and said, ‘I want you to play this role because you’re not like the other young actors out there in Hollywood. You’re not handsome, you’re not cool, you’re just a regular guy who looks a bit nuts.’”

Ryan Gosling explains how he he landed that one role that started this whole thing.

Before we get into Ryan’s little tale, can I talk about my emotions for minute concerning The Notebook? Because I’ve only seen the movie once. On TV. In my dorm room. And I don’t know if you know this about me, but I am the kind of girl who just eats that stuff up. Like I was sobbing hysterically, just completely losing it so many times during that movie. And then towards the end of the movie, one of my best friends came over to hang out, and respectfully sat down and remained silent while I was having my moment over the ending of that film. BUT THEN, just a few minutes later, my friend’s loudmouth girlfriend came over too, sat down, and proceeded to loudly laugh and mock the movie. During the entire ending. I was trying to have my moment while this girl was making fun of it and me. And yes, I’m still bitter.

But now that I let some of that go, I just want to ask what you think about Ryan’s quote up there. Doesn’t it seem a little wrong to say anything negative about Ryan Gosling? Even for Ryan Gosling to recount something somewhat negative that someone might have said to him years ago? Oh, and by “wrong,” of course I mean “SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!”

I figured out why Christina Aguilera wears those damned leggings all of the time. Wanna know? It’s because her boyfriend, Matthew Rutler, loves big, accentuated camel toe. And what bigger, more accentuated camel toe have you seen this year besides Christina-girl’s in these photos? None. That’s right. Camel toe of the year. So before any of you go on with your “leggings are just comfy and Christina Aguilera wants to be comfy dammit” smugness, you’re wrong: it’s domestic partner camel toe fascination all the way, boys and girls, and we’ll just leave it at that for today.

“Why so sour, Sarah?”

Why? Well, first, it looks like they spliced together sixty-odd different frames from the previous Men in Black movies in order to accomplish the completion of this trailer, so, good for you movie guys, on being industrious and efficient and using your budget well.

Second. IS THAT ADRIEN F-CKING BRODY at the :25 mark? IS IT? How did no one tell me that he was in this movie?! Probably because it wasn’t. And he isn’t. And now I’m even more biased against this film.

Third. It gets way better after :45, because there’s apparently a K – Tommy Lee Jones – impersonator ’round the compound, willing to spread secrets like spilled molasses in cheap cabinetry on a hot day, though everyone (aside from J – Will Smith – of course) thinks K’s been dead for 40 years or something. Original, right?

In all seriousness, though, I’m probably only being a grump of a grump today because it seems like it took the film execs so damn long to stop dragging their feet over this movie. Frankly, it doesn’t look awful, and I did love the other films in the series, so I’m probably going to see it. It’s got time-travel in it, so really, how bad could it be?

Here’s some recent (yes, recent, as in “not from ALMOST FIVE YEARS AGO when Britney shaved her head”) photos of Britney arriving at LAX on a break from her whirlwind world tour. Cool, right? Except that it’s not, because the mystery of Britney’s mane has yet to be solved. It goes on and on. Often without general maintenance or, you know, a good sealant.

So.

Busted weave redux?
