| Pink Joins Gwyneth Paltrow’s Sex Addict Dramedy Thanks For Sharing Posted: 03 Oct 2011 12:14 PM PDT
Thanks For Sharing is a dramedy in the vein of 28 Days, about a support group for sex addicts. The movie’s stars are Gwyneth Paltrow and Mark Ruffalo, who play fellow rehab patients who fall in love. Making up their support system is Tim Robbins (with Joely Richardson) playing his wife, The Book of Mormon‘s Josh Gad, and now Pink. (Or for the purposes of this story, should we refer to her as Alecia?) All we know is that Pink’s character Dede is “a kindred spirit” to Josh’s character Neil. Is she another sex addict having a forbidden romance? Is she an average person that he has to hide his shameful secret from? Thanks For Sharing has just started filming, so we won’t know for a while. But this is a really excellent role for Pink to choose as her mainstream debut. Through her music she boldly takes on issues like depression (“Fuckin’ Perfect”), alcoholism and other dependencies (“Sober,” “Just Like A Pill”), and heartbreak (“So What”). So of course she’s better suited for a bold drama with moments of comedy, rather than a weepy indie or knuckle-headed comedy. We’re really looking forward to seeing what she does with the role.

| 5 Facts About Jessie Star Debby Ryan Posted: 03 Oct 2011 12:13 PM PDT
1. Though just eighteen years old, Ryan already has a lengthy resume: after a small role in Ice Cube vehicle The Longshots, she starred in Christian film What If…, and Disney Channel original 16 Wishes, a variation on 13 Going On 30. She also spent several years on Disney’s The Suite Life on Deck as Bailey, the on-again/off-again girlfriend of Cody (Cole Sprouse). 2. As is de rigeur for Disney stars, she records music, and, as seen in the below video, she’s got a decent voice — a lot sexier and raspier than you might expect from a Disney girl. She’s also a big time music fan with her own music Tumblr, which reveals a love of Adele, vinyl, and The Summer Set. 3. Per her Facebook, she never capitalizes her name and, smartly points out, “Conforming to nonconformity is greater conformity, so I don’t mess with any of it.” Deep. 4. Her acting idol is Suite Life co-star Brenda Song. In a People interview, Ryan shared that “I just found a journal from when I was in fifth or sixth grade, and I wrote, ‘If I could be best friends with a celebrity it would be Brenda Song.’ It was hysterical!” 5. She’s a devout Christian and used to host a bible study group for kids in the TV industry. Post from: Crushable  |
| Thomas Jane Admits To Having Been A Homeless Gay Prostitute Posted: 03 Oct 2011 11:56 AM PDT
B5′s editorial director Meghan Keane, whom I argued the merits of Hung with last week, commented that this only adds to the authenticity of the HBO show. But I disagree, of course. Hollywood-area prostitution certainly isn’t as commonplace as Tom’s implying. I mean, I grew up in L.A., and having sex in exchange for a Pink’s hot dog was definitely not the norm for me and my friends — even for those unfortunate souls who hoped to become actors. (Let’s not talk about all the cigarette butts we took out of ashtrays, okay? It was a long time ago and I’m a different person now. Thankfully, somehow one without Hepatitis.) However, I would say that a down-on-his-luck character who has sex with men for money is a more realistic character than a romantic gigolo who caters to the needs of Detroit’s saddest middle class ladies. The Hung debate rages on! Next up: how big do you think the penis is? Post from: Crushable  |

| Madonna To (Maybe) Perform At Super Bowl Halftime Show Posted: 03 Oct 2011 11:34 AM PDT According to an “exclusive” posted on football site SB Nation today, reigning queen of pop Madonna will be the entertainment at this year’s Super Bowl halftime show. They know this because “sources close to the event” told them. Via SB Nation:
Not surprisingly, NFL reps declined to comment. But for the Super Bowl’s sake, I hope they are able to lock her down this time. Despite being arguably a little past her prime, Madonna would be a huge improvement over The Black Eyed Peas‘ performance from last year, which managed somehow to make pyrotechnics, Usher and Slash all seem boring. It would also be a nice change of pace for the event, which has shied away from sexy pop acts since Janet Jackson‘s infamous wardrobe malfunction in 2004, instead veering towards dad rock like Bruce Springsteen and The Who. Madonna is both an exciting pop artist to watch gyrate and a mature and responsible 53-year-old woman, so they can probably trust her to keep her top on. Then again, you never know what Madge might have up her sleeve (or shirt, as the case may be). I kind of hope she makes out with Lady Gaga. Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
| Space Relations: The 10 Best Passive-Aggressive Roommate Notes Posted: 03 Oct 2011 11:29 AM PDT One thing that digital technology has not replaced is the passive-aggressive roommate note. Why? Well, if you've ever left a passive-aggressive note to a roommate before, you know that the whole purpose of the note is for it to be read when you're not around. Whether you're sleeping, out of town, or simply running a few errands, the beauty of passive-aggressive notes in shared homes is that the note leaver can strategically decide when to leave her note based on knowing her roommate's schedule, but can often avoid having to interact with her roommate once the note has been received. Even if your roommate texts you after reading that you accidentally knocked one of her fancy wine glasses off the counter, you don't technically have to respond. Sure, most people nowadays would rather use email to send a passive-aggressive message to their roommate, but I like to think the original, hand-written-on-a-chalkboard-or-piece-of-paper-left-on-the-fridge passive-aggressive note will continue to live on for generations to come. Everyone should experience the joy of leaving such a note, and everyone should experience the frustration of receiving one. It's a rite of passage. When I was in college, my roommates and I left notes to each other all the time. Sometimes it was bill related: Hey ladies, the gas bill is due and I needed your checks like four days ago. Can you leave them on the kitchen table? Thanks. Other times it was maintenance-related: Ladies, the toilet is totally clogged and I swear it's not my fault. I called the landlord but he said it might take up to a week to get fixed. Holla! And then other times, shit got personal. Hey, can you please try to be less insanely loud tonight if you have people over? I know it's summer and you're chilling but I have to be at work at 8:30 a.m. every day this week and now I'm fucking SLEEPY. Thanks. The funny thing is, no matter what the context was, the notes always annoyed everyone in the house unless they just said, "YAY!" with a big smiley face. Any note, be it about bills, maintenance or noise pollution, was eye-roll inducing because you couldn't help but think, "Seriously? She couldn't have just told me in person?" And yet we were all guilty of leaving them. Sometimes it was out of convenience or efficiency, but mostly it was out of laziness or passive-aggression. One time, it came back to bite me in the ass. I left a note before bed about something dumb and accidentally wrote "ya'll" instead of "y'all." When I woke up the next day, my roommate had written a response: Blair, I will leave the gas bill money on the table, and yes I owed you $13 from last month but you owed me $15 that I think you forgot about so really you owe me $2. Also, it's "y'all" and not "ya'll." You + all = y'all. It's a contraction. YIKES. With that in mind, I've compiled a little gallery of some of my favorite passive-aggressive notes from one of my favorite blogs, Passive-Aggressive Notes, to celebrate the wonderful absurdity of roommate passive-aggression. (This column was inspired by this awesome note, pictured above, that went viral over the weekend.) Enjoy!

But don’t be shy in the comments below. Nothing is more entertaining than reading and sharing your own roommate experiences, and we’ve all got a few. Or a thousand.

| Jason Biggs’ Wife Jenny Mollen Hired A Hooker For His Birthday — And Wrote About It For Playboy Posted: 03 Oct 2011 10:38 AM PDT
Experiences, really—it took them three tries to land on a suitable lady. I'm hoping, unless you're some sick depraved dissolute of a person, this isn't the kind of thing you hear everyday, Jenny begins the essay. If it is, fuck you, I thought it was pretty gangster. Their first try, “a masseuse,” turned out to be a legitimate massage therapist. (Turns out even funny people get pranked by their friends.) Then they hired an actual hooker in Las Vegas, but Jason wasn’t able to get enough cash out of the ATM. Just like in an outlandish comedy, everything seems to be against this poor couple trying to spice up their married life. (At the time, they’d been married for about a year.) Their hotel room is right next door to their friends’ room; Jenny tries to make sure her friends’ kids don’t see the prostitute coming up to their room; and after they fail to get the cash out of the ATM, she’s convinced that “Eva” doesn’t think they can even afford her. But Jenny convinces Jason to stay in Vegas one more night, while she plans feverishly:
Jenny reports that Keisha was lovely, but by that time the sexiness of their experiment had faded and they both got pretty bored. See? Celebrities’ lives aren’t always so glamorous! We’re not entirely convinced that this story is 100% true, but we definitely prefer this kind of transparency to the are-they-or-aren’t-they debate over Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore‘s open marriage. At least Jenny (and Jason, by proxy) are upfront about their experimentation; Ashton and Demi just passive-aggressively unfollow each other on Twitter and leave us to wonder if they’re getting divorced.

| Crushable Predicts The Plot of the Angry Birds Movie Posted: 03 Oct 2011 10:34 AM PDT
Angry Birds: A serious drama in the animal kingdom. When a group of smug, crooked-teeth pigs (Paul Giamatti, Whoopi Goldberg, and Robin Williams) steals the eggs right out of a bird's nest, the entire bird community gets very, very angry. Sure, not everyone will survive — every mission is a suicide mission — but along the way, our heroes (Bradley Cooper, Anne Hathaway, and Joe Jonas) learn about projectile physics, bombs, and maybe — just maybe — a little about themselves. Words With Friends: Finally, the drama of putting down random letters in the hopes that they might be a word comes to the big screen! When two friends (Katy Perry and Kellan Lutz) sit down for a game that is assuredly not Scrabble (and is, therefore, lawsuit-free), they have no idea what kind of high-octane ride will ensue. Over the course of one crazy night, they'll learn what the hell "qis" means, why you should never pass when a triple-word score is in play, and maybe, just maybe, a little about themselves. Solitaire: It was all just supposed to be a quick diversion, but when our hero (Demi Lovato) gets sucked into a live-action version of the game Solitaire, she discovers it's actually a world filled with high-stakes drama. As she tries to get back home, she'll learn the real reason hearts and diamonds can't be next to each other, the terror that lurks underneath the top card on the pile and maybe, just maybe, a little about herself.

| Anna Faris’ What’s Your Number? Tanked At The Box Office Posted: 03 Oct 2011 10:23 AM PDT The new Anna Faris flick What’s Your Number?, which had been considered a contender to be the “new Bridesmaids,” took a paltry 7th place at the box office its opening weekend. The film earned a mere $2 million on Friday, meaning it barely edged out Abduction for that 7th slot. Cinema Blend has called the move an “instant failure.” If there’s a message to be gleaned from this news, it’s that audiences are demanding good comedy content. Bridesmaids did well because Bridesmaids was a good movie, with well-rounded characters and first-rate jokes. All What’s Your Number? has going for it is the talent of Anna Faris, who did all she could with a mediocre script. Last week, we wrote about the movie’s anti-feminist leanings and mentioned that the folks behind the film found themselves pandering to an audience they felt couldn’t handle a sexually confident character. So they placated and dumbed the movie down, and guess what? It flopped as a result. Hey Hollywood: women deserve good movies too. Have meeting about it, won’t you? Post from: Crushable  |
| Jacqueline Laurita Calls Teresa Giudice ‘Scum’ For Allegedly Revealing Melissa Gorga’s Stripper Past Posted: 03 Oct 2011 09:33 AM PDT
Let’s start at the beginning. Jacqueline made it sound like she wants to quit RHONJ, saying “I can’t be part of the Charade anymore” and “SOME people live a different life OFF camera than they do on. (ahem).” HuffPo quickly deduced the situation that prompted Jacqueline’s tweeting frenzy, from an insider source: Bravo arranged for Angelo Voorhees, Melissa’s ex-boss from the Lookers Gentlemen’s Club, to attend the Posche fashion show where the ladies were taping. Here’s what the insider had to say:
Bravo claims that they didn’t orchestrate anything and simply said, “Our cameras document the lives of these ladies.” That must be enough to convince Jacqueline, because she took to Twitter over the weekend to bash Teresa. She tweeted a long message where she says that Teresa’s been plotting this for a long time:
So here’s where we’re at: HuffPo’s insider says that it was the producers who brought in Melissa’s old boss and Teresa had nothing to do with it; Jacqueline says that Teresa set up Melissa, and “a source” confirmed the same to Us Weekly. Oh, and Larry Guarino from Lookers says that Melissa was just a bartender, never a stripper. Whew! Are we the only ones who think this is coming out of nowhere? Obviously there’s always been questions about Teresa’s sincerity; for the most part, she’s the one who finds reasons to pick fights with Melissa and her brother Joe Gorga even when they extend the olive branch. But I’m talking more about Teresa and Jacqueline. I’m behind an episode or two, but earlier this season they seemed pretty buddy-buddy; Jacqueline was always Teresa’s sounding board when she had problems with Melissa. Sure, they had their passive-aggressive snipping (like when Teresa pouted that Jacqueline’s Nutella pizza won over her traditional pie), but nothing this big. So here’s another theory: Bravo gave them both parts to play, and they’re just going along with some bigger plotline. Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
Pink‘s music has been featured in everything from White Chicks to Fantastic Four, and she’s even had a few roles in indie movies, but now 
Hung star Thomas Jane has been offering quite a few sound bites about sexuality lately. He got into a bit of trouble when he made a borderline homophobic remark last month (“I told HBO, the year I end up with a penis in my mouth is the last year of the show”), and now he’s attempting to redeem himself with tales of a youth spent living out of his car, 
Last week was American Reunion star Jason Biggs‘ birthday, but the way that he and wife Jenny Mollen celebrated was fairly nontraditional for two celebrities. There was no birthday party with 500 of their closest friends or lavish gift of the hottest new car. Nope, they hired a hooker. And how do we know this? Because Jenny wrote a blog 
The Angry Birds movie is moving forward apace. And while there are those doubters out there who think it’s silly and preposterous to make a feature film out of an iPhone game, the creators of said film will not be discouraged. In fact, David Maisel, the former Chairman of Marvel Studios (and executive in charge of the picture),
