| Video: Here’s The Trailer For Angelina Jolie’s Directorial Debut Posted: 21 Oct 2011 11:37 AM PDT The trailer for Angelina Jolie‘s directorial debut In The Land Of Blood And Honey came out today, and man, is it intense. I feel like this movie is going to make me cry even more than I usually cry at movies. Set in early 1990′s wartime Bosnia, the film follows the lives of two lovers who find themselves on opposite sides of the conflict. As we expected, she went fairly anti-Hollywood for this film, casting unknown actors Zana Marjanovic and Goran Kostic to play the two main parts, and pulling most of her cast from the areas local to her on-location shoot. Additionally, they filmed two different versions: English, and Serbo-Croat. “The film is specific to the Bosnian War, but it’s also universal,” Jolie said in a statement. “I wanted to tell a story of how human relationships and behavior are deeply affected by living inside a war.” It seems like Ms. Jolie tried pretty hard to make this movie in a respectful way, but there’s already controversy brewing. Female victims of sexual violence have protested certain details of the film, and Bosnian authorities even denied her a filming permit at one point. And then there’s the guy who says she stole the whole plot from his book. It will be interesting to see how opinions crystallize once the movie is out. Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Video: There’s Already A Preview Of The Next Season Of Jersey Shore Posted: 21 Oct 2011 11:37 AM PDT Get More: Jersey Shore (Season 4), Full Episodes Oh my god, the last season of Jersey Shore just ended last night and there’s already a preview for the next season. MTV, you didn’t even give us time to breath and also shower! So, what can we expect from this next season in Seaside? From the looks of this clip: Pauly will get a sunburn, Deena will say “do sex” a whole bunch of times again, Snooki will get into it with her boyfriend Jionni and everyone will drink a whole bunch. You know, I bet MTV could just show us the first season of JS all over again and no one would know the difference. Speaking of, um, I got a screener of the new season of Jersey Shore! My place, five bucks to get in. Cha-ching! Post from: Crushable |
| Twitter Thinks That Carlos Santana Is Dead Dictator Gaddafi Posted: 21 Oct 2011 10:53 AM PDT
What the hell, guys. It’s really not that difficult to do a Google Image Search and notice the differences between these men. Or read the news stories and realize that there’s no way that a famous guitarist would get shot in the face by troops in Libya. Instead, a weird domino effect happened on Twitter where everyone who logged on immediately got pulled into the death hoax and then passed it on to the next round of users who caught sight of the hashtag. Here are some of the best tweets:
But I pity the fools who went to Wikipedia last night; someone had posted not that Carlos was dead, but the equally untrue claim that Gaddafi was actually his father:
That misinformation has since been corrected. At this point — a little less than a day after Gaddafi’s death was announced — the results page for “R.I.P. Carlos Santana” is still getting a few updates, but the tweets seem to be mostly joking. People are mostly amused at how easily they got caught up in the ruckus.
To be fair, they do wear pretty similar hats. Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Natlie Portman’s Baby Aleph Millepied Still Exists, Is Cute Posted: 21 Oct 2011 10:43 AM PDT
Here’s a photo of Natalie Portman‘s infant child Aleph looking all cute and babylike in his little green onesie. Aw. This kid is three-months old, but really, he doesn’t look a day over 2-and-a-half. This photo was snapped in Los Angeles where Natalie was out and about on a stroll with her tot and a lady friend. (No sign of fiance Benjamin Millepied.) The mother/son pair recently returned from a trip to Paris, where they undoubtedly procured all the finest bibs and booties fashion has to offer. This kid’s pretty cute, right? Here’s another shot:

| Art Crush: The Steamiest Daria And Trent Fan Art Posted: 21 Oct 2011 10:08 AM PDT You guys, we were talking about it this morning and somehow the utterly misguided editors over at our sister site The Gloss don’t think that Trent from Daria is the world’s most perfect cartoon dream boyfriend. Shocking and appalling, right? I remember swooning over dreamy rock star Trent for hours as a kid — and it looks like the Internet shares that impulse. I looked around and found some pretty intense fan art tributes to Daria and Trent’s love. Warning: cartoon raunchiness herein. Post from: Crushable |
| Posted: 21 Oct 2011 10:06 AM PDT Poor Bella and Edward just can’t catch a break! In Stephenie Meyer‘s books — and their movie counterparts — the vampire won’t let his human beloved have sex or get turned into a vampire until they’re married. Then when they finally do, not only does the wedding go awry, but their honeymoon is cut short when Bella discovers she’s knocked up with a human-vampire hybrid baby that wants to rip her apart. At least Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson get how messed-up their movie is, as they talk about walking down the aisle and the wedding night. As Kristen explains, Bella goes from apprehensive about a simple wedding ceremony to totally welcoming to the spawn growing inside her, even as it starts to sap all of her energy. It’s a strange personality choice, and I hope we get more info in the movie as to why she thinks one is more acceptable than the other. So even when they wait til the ring is on it to have sex, there are supernatural consequences. Related posts: Post from: Crushable |

| Jersey Shore Field Notes: Ciao, Italia Posted: 21 Oct 2011 09:39 AM PDT
0:00 – Out specimens are about to leave Italy, and so this is the last we will see of them for a while. Presumably, they will hibernate like wild animals do in the winter. 0:30 – We see our specimen The Situation, who’s not wearing pants and talking about how he’s not wearing pants. 2:00 – Sitch feels alienated. He tries to talk to Snooki, but she goes to bed. 3:00 – Ronnie pulls Sitch aside to have a meaningful conversation. Sitch says he feels like a villain, Ronnie tells him to apologize to everyone. (Diagnosis: Ronnie has been taking night classes in psychology.) 6:00 – Sam, Pauly and Vinnie heat out to work their final shift at the pizzeria. It's the last job any of them will ever have. 8:00 – Sam and Ron go into the smoosh room to copulate and also smoosh. 8:30 – Pauly makes fun of Ronnie's longevity. 10:00 – The Situation calls his sister The Situationa on the telephone and tells her he's not going back to Jersey. 12:00 – JWOWW has a cold. Sad violin music plays. 12:30 – Everyone but JWOWW heads out to a new club that they’ve described as “dope,” which means “awful.” 14:00 – Deena and Snooki leave for another club. 16:00 – Pauly leaves with a girl. Then she falls down, so he leaves without a girl. 18:00 – The specimens go to the pizzeria and they each give Marco a piece of clothing, an Italian tradition harkening back to the Renaissance. 22:00 – Vinny realizes that during all the time they spent in Italy, they never went sightseeing or even outside in the daytime. They decide to take a tour. 23:00 – Deena falls down. 23:30 – Vinny calls to set up a tour. The man on the telephone asks Vinny which he likes better, history or art. He puts it to a poll and the choice is, “tequila.” 26:00 – The specimens go to the Duomo to meet their tour guide. Thirty seconds in they are all unbearably bored. 27:30 – All the women talk about how they would copulate with the Statue of David. (Diagnosis: They all like older men.) 28:30 – Snooki looks at a painting of an cherub. She wonders if babies with wings is a real thing. (Note: is Snooki sterile?) 29:00 – The group tours a church and Sitch pouts In the corner. 31:00 – Now that they’re educated and enlightened, our specimens head to a bar and order fruity cocktails. 32:00 – Sitch apologizes for the mean things he’s done. He buys the women roses. 33:00 – Our specimens go out to the club for what will be the last time for quite a while (the length of a flight home from Italy). 34:00 – Everyone dances at the club. Sitch tries to start a fight with some younger guys. (Diagnosis: mid-life crisis.) 36:30 – The next morning, Sitch makes breakfast, presumably as a way to manipulate everyone. 38:00 — Over breakfast, Situation informs everyone that he will be going to New Jersey, after all. 39:00 – Our specimens toast to leaving Italy returning to their natural habitat of New Jersey. 40:00 – Ronnie describes the house as like a foster home with eight orphans, "We fight , we argue, but in the end everything gets fixed." (Note: That is not what a foster home is like at all, even a little bit.) Final note: Goodbye, specimens. You have been fun to watch, but also you have depressed the effing hell out of us. To the laboratory! Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| The Degrassi Cast Wins At Wearing Purple For Spirit Day Yesterday Posted: 21 Oct 2011 08:55 AM PDT
Yesterday, Facebook and MTV turned purple in honor of Spirit Day to support LGBT youth and speak out against bullying. But what about celebrities? You had plenty of stars who tweeted about wearing purple and even posted some Twitpics, but the most impressive display of solidarity was from the cast of TeenNick’s Degrassi: The Next Generation. GLAAD tracked down all of the actors, who posted photos to their official Twitters of them rocking purple outfits. That attitude extended to the set: There are a couple shots of cast members in front of set pieces like The Dot, the local hangout—which was also turned purple, aww. Check out Luke Bilyk, Aislinn Paul, and other cast members showing their support! Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Do You Recognize This Famous Family? Posted: 21 Oct 2011 08:42 AM PDT
That’s right, it’s the Kardashians. Kim Kardashian tweeted this photo yesterday, perhaps in advance of her 31st birthday, which is today. “Look at this photo from 1988,” she wrote. “This is so funny! Kinda shows all of our personalities back then!” Clockwise from the top, we have Kris, Khloe, Kourtney, Kim, Rob Jr., and dad Robert. I hate it that the Kardashians have bored themselves so deeply into my consciousness that I didn’t even need to think twice to know who everyone was. I have to say everyone is rocking their respective 80′s looks pretty hard, especially mom Kris. Work those bangs, girl. Khloe looks incredibly sassy/bratty, eight-year-old Kim looks like the seemingly angelic child who stick pencils in her sister when no one’s watching, and Kourtney looks a little…droopy. Perhaps they had her on too much Ritalin? It’s also worth noting that the ma and pa Kardashian separated just a year later, so this pretty picture probably hid all sorts of underlying tension. She re-married former Olympian Bruce Jenner in 1991 so that she could produce even more children with kutesy “K” names. I wonder what other fond remembrances Kim will tweet today?

When news of Muammar Gaddafi‘s death broke yesterday, a strange snowball effect began on Twitter: First, some users innocently commented that the Libyan dictator resembled singer Carlos Santana; then people started asking if Santana had died; then before you knew it, there were photos of Gaddafi reading “R.I.P. Carlos Santana 1947-2011.”
