| Stalk Exchange: Olivia Munn's Junk Bonds Are On the Rise Posted: 29 Oct 2010 08:22 PM PDT
It’s been about four months since Munn joined The Daily Show, and while she’s been mostly unremarkable as a correspondent, she’s got a big gig this weekend, and there are more than a few signals lately that Jezebel’s issue with The Daily Show's Woman Problem can’t keep the girl down. Today, Olivia will join the rest of The Daily Show’s correspondents to helm "The Rally to Restore Sanity." This event is going to put her in front of millions of people who would otherwise not watch The Daily Show. And while she may not have the comedic pedigree of all the women who weren’t chosen to join Jon Stewart in Washington, if she performs well, she could soon be a much more common household name. Munn’s testosterone friendly humor was a big hit on G4’s Attack of the Show. But at Comedy Central, her hiring sparked controversy. And that might be the key to her making it in Hollywood as well. This week, Us Weekly printed a rumor that Munn is in the middle of a love triangle with Hollywood power couple Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel. It’s since been refuted, but whoever planted that story had Munn’s reputation in mind:
In addition to that gratuitous piece of sexual information, this month Munn will grace the November issue of Nylon magazine. In addition to her role as The Daily Show’s “Senior Asian Correspondent,” Munn will star in Perfect Couples, a new NBC drama, starting in January. And today, there’s something else to look forward to. Munn promises TV Guide:
Of course, if she sounds like an idiot during the rally, Olivia might not make a great impression on the American people. But considering that’s sort of her schtick, she’ll probably be ok anyway. Post from: Crushable Stalk Exchange: Olivia Munn's Junk Bonds Are On the Rise |

But at least she’s better off than the dude who has nothing better to do than wander around behind Emma Roberts for a day mimicking her mannerisms…

| Celeb Tweetup: Spooky Freaks and Pimps Posted: 29 Oct 2010 02:13 PM PDT Halloween is the scariest time of the year besides tax auditing time, but it’s also a fun time to work out your weirdest fantasies! Always wanted to be a pimp, but are too much of a wimp? Wanted to be weird but are too mainstream? Wanted to be your ex-girlfriend but not develop a coke habit? It’s time for celebrities to celebrate Halloween on Twitter! We’re bummed: We got invited to Vinny’s (@VinnyGuadagnino) Halloween party but couldn’t make it. Wish we’d seen the pimp outfit in person! Kristen Chenoweth (@KChenoweth) is either missing an @ tag, or is telling us all to go see a doctor. Scary. Samantha Ronson (@samantharonson) is going as Lindsay Lohan for Halloween.
Adrian Grenier thinks he’s a “freak” now. Also, “disciplined.”

Crushable commenter Magda replied with a pretty traumatic experience of her own. And it happens to be Halloween related! This is why Magda’s is our commenter of the week:

Asking for money online is a lot better than doing it in person. And between services like Kickstarter and PayPal, microdonations are helping people raise large amounts of money for great (and not so great) causes. And that is just fine with me. But like most any human interaction, people need to exercise a little restraint before sending out their money grubbing emails. Dear Former Coworker Who Never Spoke To Me When We Shared An Office, But Is Now Running A Triathlon And Wants My Money: I am talking to you. I don’t know how you got my personal email address. And you never sent me a note to wish me well when I got laid off. But now you want money from me so you can reach your charity goals? Kindly fuck off. It’s one thing to put out a generic message to your Twitter stream asking for donations to your favorite charity. It’s another entirely to trawl your email address book for every acquaintance you’ve ever met and hit them up for money so you can avoid paying for a race bib. It’s great that your running some huge marathon, or bike race, or whatever the hell crazy athletic feat you’re attempting. But if I don’t know you, I don’t want to pay for it. And yes, Random Comedian From My Improv Class Who’s Trying To Start A New Theater Company Through Facebook Donations: This also applies to you. We took one class together. You seemed nice enough, until I clicked through your Facebook links and actually saw your “web show.” Oh my goodness. I don’t think you should be doing that anymore. I politely ignored your first request for funds. But now it’s getting to the point where I have a message from you every other day. And yes, I know we haven’t spoken in awhile. But I don’t want to give you money.Even if $5 would really make such a difference. I actually don’t think you should be starting a theater company. I think you should probably get a day job. And it’s simply not cute that you think I should pay for your bad comedy. I’m sorry. As a final note, I’d love to leave you with Nick Kroll’s excellent diatribe against coworkers asking for charitable donations from last week’s episode of The League. But it’s not online yet. So I’ll leave you with a few of his wise words:

That’s funny, our grandma totally did the same thing in her time. I think she still has that doily of Jack the Ripper somewhere. Post from: Crushable The Daily WTF: Tabloid Needlepoints |

Outside of Attack of the Show fans, Olivia Munn was relatively unknown before this year. But when Jon Stewart picked her to be a new correspondent on The Daily Show, he inadvertently stepped on feminist minefield. Soon bloggers and comedy writers were at war, mostly over the assertion that Munn was hired more for her looks than her comedic chops.
Yesterday while Emma Roberts was out shopping in Beverly Hills, a man with a giant crocodile mask followed her around and shadowed her movements for the afternoon. As far as we can tell from the 
The internet has made it amazingly easy to share things. Also, to ask for things. Like favors and charitable donations.
