As we all found out yesterday, Anne Hathaway is going to be playing Selina Kyle (better known as her alter-ego Catwoman) in Christopher Nolan’s next Batman installment, The Dark Knight Rises. Beating out contenders like Jessica Biel and Kiera Knightley for the role, Anne’s going to have to shed her good-girl image for some latex and whips. But not everyone is pleased with the casting choice, with the most vocal dissidents heading to – where else? – Twitter.

Jorge Narvaez and his six-year-old daughter Alexa won over the heart of the Internet when they released a video of themselves performing Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros’ sweet song “Home.” Ellen DeGeneres caught wind of the charming vid and invited the duo to perform on her show. It’s absolutely as cute as can be.

“A bunch of time ago people found all this gold in California. A lot of these people had mustaches and probably didn’t have digital cameras.”

That is singularly the best opening to any paper we’ve read, ever. Good job, Mary-Kate Olsen!

Why MTV's 'Skins' Deserves A Second Chance

Posted: 20 Jan 2011 09:44 AM PST

The universal blog-census of MTV’s Skins on Monday night was extremely negative. Despite strong ratings, we all bemoaned how the show just completely ripped off the British version -as if it was supposed to do anything else? – but did it way worse (okay, fair). Our inner Anglophile came out as we snubbed our noses at this crass reinterpretation of the oh-so-high-brow themes like “sex,” “pooping,” and “taking Ecstasy.”

Lets give it a rest, guys. If television history has taught us anything, it’s that with a little time American remakes of British programs can become very successful as soon as they stop trying to be exactly like their source material.

Think way back to 2005, when the The Office premiered on NBC, with an episode that was an American duplicate of the cult Ricky Gervais/Stephen Merchant show. Critics complained, and fans of the British Office immediately panned it for getting lost in the translation. New York Daily News called the Steve Carell version “so diluted there’s little left but muddy water” and the Guardian Unlimited said that the man we’d come to know as Michael Scott was “trying too hard.” Sounds a lot like the complaint we’re getting about Skins, right?

But we gave The Office a couple more episodes, and by the second season the show had departed almost completely from its grittier, more painfully awkward British counterpart. It no longer seemed like an imitation: it was its own entity that included a bigger cast and more plot lines to follow. And though we still might argue on which show is ultimately “funnier,” at this point it’s like comparing apples to oranges because they bear such a slight resemblance to each other. And after Ricky Gervais’ bombing t the Golden Globes, that’s probably a good thing.

So lets give Skins another chance, and another, and another. Let the show, like a wayward teenager, learn from its own mistakes and shed its former identity like a pair of last season jeans. The worst thing that could happen is that we end up watching a bunch of attractive, talentless kids take drugs and have sex. The best possible outcome would involve the American Skins actually transcending its British counterpart and becoming a show with actual substance. Maybe even our next Degrassi, but, you know, less Canadian.

The Bachelor's Brad Womack: Convicted Felon. With A Weird Name.

Posted: 20 Jan 2011 09:18 AM PST

Oh the tangled webs Brad Womack weaves.  Today we learned that on top of being a failure at picking a bride the last time he was The Bachelor, ABC’s current bachelor is also a felon.

More importantly, this fact escaped ABC producers because it all happened under his real name: Stephen Bradley Pickelsimer.

Aside from the whole wanting to hide from his arrest record, we can see why Brad decided to change his name from Pickelsimer. But now we’re confused. He actually chose to be called Womack?

Granted, Brad is a bar owner, so it’s not surprising that his rap sheet revolves around drinking.

According to E!, Womack’s 1993 felony arrest was for forging a driver’s license. He was also arrested for public intoxication and passing a bad check.

Nothing too surprising there. But now we’re curious. What kind of name is Picklesimer?

Video: Tiffany Rios Is The First Of This Season's Crazy 'American Idol' Contestants

Posted: 20 Jan 2011 09:12 AM PST

Last night, New Jersey’s Tiffany Rios got a chance to sing in front of her person hero, Jennifer Lopez — and she used the occasion as an opportunity to wear a two giant silver stars on her boobs. Somehow, she got through to the next round, which means there will be even more of Tiffany’s batshitness to look out for. Hooray! Also, thanks to Tiffany we now know that Steven Tyler refers to breasts as “ooh-ooh-bees.” So that’s gross.

Amy Poehler Used To Be A Hospital Model!

Posted: 20 Jan 2011 09:01 AM PST


We still can’t believe that these images weren’t taken as part of some viral campaign to promote tonight’s 3rd season premiere Parks and Recreation. But Tumblrette Franny-Glass found the photos of comedy star Amy Poehler dressed as some sort of terrifyingly chipper candy-stripe girl in Getty Images’ stock photography section, and who are we to say that 10 years ago Amy wasn’t struggling to make ends meet and turned to the sordid world of catalogue modeling to pay the bills? We’ve all been there girl. (Via Buzzfeed)

Sweet Repeat: Jake Gyllenhaal Looks Like A Puppy Dog

Posted: 20 Jan 2011 08:46 AM PST

  • Yes, Jakey, you can have a treat.
  • Just look at those eyes.
  • Don't you just want to pet him?
  • Jake is a pretty good dog's name.
  • Brokeback dog.
  • Here boy!
  • A total pup.
  • We're suddenly jealous of Taylor.
  • Now he's just being ridiculous.
  • Fetch!
  • Please don't ever grow up.

Jake Gyllenhaal has turned into a bit of a player recently. First he ended his fling with Taylor Swift via a heartbreaking phone call. Then he brought ex-girlfriend Jenny Lewis to the Golden Globes, after which he was spotted “getting grabby” with Mila Kunis. So how does Jake get away with his callous behavior? By looking like an adorable little puppy dog who just got into the trash but you can’t even stay mad because look at those eyes!

Do you think they have any more Gyllenhaals at the pound?
