| Twitter Roundup: Celebrities Respond to New York Marriage Equality Ruling Posted: 25 Jun 2011 10:20 AM PDT Last night, New York politicians voted to make gay marriage legal, becoming the sixth US state to do so. But what do the famous people think? The 30 Rock star, who recently expressed interest in running for Mayor of New York City, praised Sex and the City actress Cynthia Nixon for all the hard work she and her partner, Christine Marinoni have done for LGBT rights.

| Video: An ‘Inception’ Reception Posted: 25 Jun 2011 07:15 AM PDT Ever since Inception came out, it’s been a trend to Inception-ize the most common, everyday things: Cats, My Little Ponies… and now wedding receptions. The Mary Sue recommends that you watch this video at least until the 1:30 mark. They are absolutely correct. And before you ask, yes, this IS from someones ACTUAL WEDDING RECEPTION. Furthermore, they did, in fact, arrive by helicopter. Just make sure to keep an eye on that spinning top– or ring, as the case may be [Via The Mary Sue] INCEPTION / RECEPTION from Loyd Calomay Films on Vimeo.

| Possible Reasons That Ron Artest Is Changing His Name to Something Stupid Posted: 24 Jun 2011 03:19 PM PDT
Often when you hear about celebrities and name changes, it’s people like Allen Stewart Konigsburg trading in his mouthful of a name for Woody Allen, or Norma Jean Parker shedding her Midwestern past to embody Marilyn Monroe. That said, Artest is not the first person to take the leap for an inexplicably weird new name. While he hasn’t given any reasons for the decision, we’ve looked at other notable name changes for possible leads. Money. In 1999, North Carolina school teacher Jennifer Briggs proudly agreed to change her name to Obi-Wan Kenobi. This move was not to impress her geeky students, but rather to win $1,000. You see, it was part of a radio promotion for Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. (Personally, I would’ve gone with Padme Amidala if given the choice.) Her request was denied, probably because the naming officials realized that she didn’t have the most honest of intentions.

| Questionable Choices: Fergie Wears a Black Flag Shirt Posted: 24 Jun 2011 02:38 PM PDT Great, now we’ve gotten it into heads that there needs to be a Black Flag/Black Eyed Peas supergroup. The Black Eyed Flags, obviously. Henry Rollins will sing “Big Girls Don’t Cry” while Fergie sits on stage and cries. Seriously, what the hell is she doing wearing this thing? “Thirty-five dollars and a six-pack to my name, and also millions of more dollars and some Cristal.” Related posts: Post from: Crushable Questionable Choices: Fergie Wears a Black Flag Shirt  |
| Fan Service: This Japanese Pop Group’s Perfect (Fake) Woman Could Lose a Lot of Fans Posted: 24 Jun 2011 02:15 PM PDT I don’t really get Japanese pop culture’s affection for schoolgirls and girl bands, but the phenomenon you see in this video is pretty universal: AKB48′s newest member Eguchi Aimi is impossibly beautiful, because she’s not real. My first thought was “Robot!”, but no, she’s actually a digital composite of all of the other band members. Eguchi’s fans — some of which were harboring real crushes on the star — were stunned upon discovering the truth, thanks to this leaked making-of video. The reveal is a huge breach of trust. No matter the culture, fans invest energy, money, and affection into a performer. Especially in the case of music, they believe that she can encapsulate their troubles and insecurities into music or other forms of art. The person is an aspirational figure, either in looks or personality; she represents what fans wish they could be. Imagine finding out that Lady Gaga is actually a composite of Madonna, Mariah Carey, and Ginger Spice. You’d be pretty rattled, too. It’s unclear if the people behind the Eguchi illusion intended to be found out, because the video links you to a site where you can “make your own AKB48 idol.” It’s all in Japanese, but the process is easy: Transplant the desired eyes, cheeks, lips, eyebrows, chin, and face shape to make… An uttainable standard of beauty that you’ll hold yourself to? A fake girlfriend? An imaginary friend? I have to imagine that the ability to empathize with someone like Eguchi is gone. Even if you could draw on the argument that much of the media we see is manufactured, the emotional aspect is just gone. Eguchi may look sexy, sisterly, or whatever you need her to be, but she’s empty inside.

| Gallery: Celebrities at Glastonbury Posted: 24 Jun 2011 01:05 PM PDT It’s Glastonbury time! When the Brits do an outdoor music festival, they replace sundresses and flip-flops with hoodies and Wellington boots. They also serve tea and crumpets and politely applaud at the end of each performance. Related posts: Post from: Crushable Gallery: Celebrities at Glastonbury  |
