| Crush Links: How Could You Hold a Grudge Against Charlie Sheen? Posted: 09 Apr 2011 11:10 AM PDT
Betty White isn’t amused by Charlie Sheen or Lindsay Lohan. Take that, young Hollywood! (Dlisted) Pia Toscano, the latest American Idol hopeful to be kicked off, has scored her own record deal. (Oh No They Didn’t!) Michaele Salahi said the reason Real Housewives of D.C. was canceled was because she refused to be on it. Yeah… because the Salahis have really won over America. (Crazy Days and Nights) Here are two spoiler clips from Will Ferrell’s upcoming appearance on The Office. (Jezebel) Daryl Hannah reportedly owes $62,622 in taxes. Woops! (Perez Hilton)

| Gallery: 15 Celebrities With Elf Ears Posted: 09 Apr 2011 09:20 AM PDT Weird news of the day: Apparently, the hippest thing in cosmetic surgery is elf ears. That’s right. For the right price, a doctor will slit open the cartilage at the tip of your ears and sew it back together into a point (hardcore cosplayers everywhere, rejoice). While the idea of the procedure itself kind of makes us go “Augh!”, we wondered if there might be some celebs who could pull off the pointy ears look. Here are our votes for which celebrities would look best with elf ears: Post from: Crushable Gallery: 15 Celebrities With Elf Ears  |

When Twitter user @Whitetights asked Castle star Nathan Fillion what he would have to do to wrangle an extra spot on ABC’s crime dramedy, Fillion revealed that all of the show’s extras are fans who have volunteered their time. So if you live in LA (or can make it there), there’s a good chance that you’ll get to lie in a puddle of fake blood and guts while Fillion snarks with co-star Stana Katic.

| Michael Pitt, What Are You Wearing? Posted: 08 Apr 2011 02:08 PM PDT
When I was a child, I had an invisible friend named Michael Pitt. He lived in a pillow fort I made for him in the back of my closet, and for clothing he wore old things from the rag bucket my mother kept underneath the kitchen sink. His favorite shirt was an olive green button-down that smelled like Pine Sol and had flecks of spaghetti sauce on the sleeves. He only wore it on special occasions, like when we’d make tea for the squirrels or fingerpaint our dreams onto tree bark or try to find faces in the clouds. Or when we’d take baths together. One day my mother threw the green shirt away. Michael Pitt and I had planned to spend the afternoon teaching the mice who lived underneath the garage to sing old Shaker songs in a round, and he wanted to wear the green shirt over a pair of shoe polish-stained corduroys. But when I went to fetch the shirt from the bucket it was gone, and in its place was a pair of plaid Christmas-colored boxers. Things weren’t the same for me and Michael Pitt after the shirt went away. To make him feel better I fashioned him a cape from an old holey beach towel, but it didn’t match the socks he’d turned into a cap to keep his ears warm when we’d go out searching for glow-in-the-dark berries late at night. I told him we’d get him a new shirt soon, the dark blue button-down my father wore to dinner at my grandparents’ house, but I had the sinking feeling our friendship wouldn’t last all the way until the shirt was worn out enough to end up in the rag bucket. The last time I saw Michael Pitt he was wearing a paint-stained bandana as pants and he looked kind of strung out. He smiled at me kind of sadly and walked off toward the woods, where the foxes and the bluejays were humming the Celtic folk song we’d taught them last summer.

| 5 Facts About Bethany Hamilton Posted: 08 Apr 2011 02:03 PM PDT
1. Her whole life is documented. It was easy to think that in Soul Surfer it was simply a plot device that Hamilton’s brother Noah had filmed her since she was a child; that way, it was easier for the Hamiltons to help Bethany adjust to her new physical self. But at the end of the film, you get to see real footage, and realize that the movie followed Noah’s home videos almost shot-for-shot. 2. She keeps it in the family. After recovering from her attack and returning to the surfing world, Hamilton built a brand around herself. If any teenager needed a personal assistant it was her. But instead of inviting a stranger into her daily life, she hired her brother Noah’s then-girlfriend Becky Baumgartner. Baumgartner has since married Noah and is now officially a part of the Hamilton family, both personally and professionally; she recently directed Heart of a Soul Surfer: The Bethany Hamilton Documentary. 3. She kept her composure during the shark attack. Part of what made Robb’s performance so chilling was how still and quiet she went during the shark attack scene. It turns out that that’s exactly how Hamilton acted on that fateful day. Robb said that she and Hamilton discussed the shark attack only very briefly, but that the real Bethany remained calm on the way to the hospital. 4. She hasn’t lost her adventurous spirit. This photo from her official website shows Hamilton skydiving with the best of ‘em: 5. She endorses one-armed beauty products. In2008, Hamilton introduced a new lip gloss called “Stoked”, which you need only one arm to open. Since then, “Stoked” has extended to a whole line of products, including perfume, sunscreen, and cologne for guys. A portion of the proceeds goes to the charity World Vision.

But I was stymied in actually searching for his smile. Then I came across two amazing Facebook groups: The Dennis Quaid Smile and I have witnessed the gloriousness that is Dennis Quaid’s triangle smile. I now present you with screenshots of the Triangle Smile in its many genres, time periods, and roles. Post from: Crushable Dennis Quaid Makes the Same Face in Every Movie  |

While you’re holed up in your bomb shelter eating Twinkies and hoarding toilet paper, we recommend these jams as accompaniment. Post from: Crushable Your Official Government Shutdown Playlist  |

Charlie Sheen wants to work this “s–t” out with Chuck Lorre. Good luck, pal. Let us know how that goes. (
We’re all pretty familiar with the Zodiac and the Chinese zodiac– but what about the Geek Zodiac? Are you a Time Traveler? A Robot? Undead? I’m a Wizard, but I’ll leave it to you to figure out exactly what year I came from. Many thanks to my brother the professional nerd for this one!
Ricky Gervais‘ sitcom Extras taught us that laboring in the background of shots while big-name actors strut around and say their lines is a thankless job for actors who haven’t “made it” yet. It could also be a fun gig for particularly enthusiastic fans.
Pro surfer Bethany Hamilton is incredibly inspiring: After losing her arm to a shark when she was only 13, not only did she have to relearn every aspect of surfing, but the only way to regain that passion was to get back into the water that had cost her her arm. Soul Surfer (out today) retells the story, with AnnaSophia Robb playing Hamilton, but we learned some fascinating facts about this survivor.
At a screening of Soul Surfer this week, I realized that Dennis Quaid (who plays Bethany Hamilton‘s father) has one of the most recognizable smiles in Hollywood. It’s no fake, polite smile. You know when you read a description in a book that someone’s grin split their face open? This is what Dennis Quaid is sporting in every single movie. And thanks to the Internet, it has a name: The Dennis Quaid Triangle Smile.
