| Selena Gomez Granted Restraining Order Against Creepy Stalker Guy Posted: 18 Oct 2011 11:29 AM PDT
Teen pop cutie Selena Gomez has been granted a restraining order against a man named Thomas Brodnicki following his admission to a psychiatrist that he has had “conversations with God” about killing her. Oh no! According to TMZ, the man was taken into custody for evaluation after he allegedly threatened to “scratch people’s eyes out on the street.” It was during the evaluation that he (allegedly) made the threats against Selena. He also admitted to traveling from Chicago to L.A. in hopes of meeting her, as well as visiting her workplace (a TV studio, maybe?) at least three times. He has been charged with making criminal threats on other people’s lives in the past. Young Ms. Gomez stated herself to be in “extreme fear” over the threats in the legal document she signed to get the restraining order, for which I really can’t blame her. In a show of solidarity, her fans made #weprotectselena a trending topic on Twitter today. I’m not sure how these tweets are actually going to protect her, but hopefully Selena’s body guards and the legal system have that covered already. (Via TMZ) Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Video: Shia LaBeouf Gets Beaten Up By An Angry Shirtless Dude Posted: 18 Oct 2011 11:23 AM PDT
The common factor in all of these is that Shia was probably asking for it. I’m sort of kidding, sort of not—we don’t have a ton of details, but TMZ says that “Shia originally got into it with the man inside a bar.” Then when they got kicked out by security, the man ripped off his shirt (why?) and started pummeling the actor on the sidewalk. And for those of us who like a healthy dose of schadenfreude on our Tuesdays, there’s a video.
Shia definitely looks out of it here; whether he’s rattled by the fight or actually drunk is unclear. He keeps trying to go after the guy, but his friends hold him back, saying, “You gotta lay low right now.” Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Celebrity Lookalikes: Taylor Momsen Is Turning Into Weston Cage Posted: 18 Oct 2011 11:18 AM PDT
Today, while browsing through photos of Gossip Girl castoff/The Pretty Reckless singer Taylor Momsen, we had a revelation. With her long, straight hair, black eyeliner and torn-up leather, Taylor’s turning into Nicholas Cage‘s musician/designer/giant son Weston. It’s a good thing that Taylor’s taking over this look, because Weston Cage recently cut off his hair, following a sting in rehab. The goatee, he left intact. Here’s a photo of Weston practicing karate:

| Textual Healing: Texting In A Serious, Long Term Relationship Posted: 18 Oct 2011 10:36 AM PDT
I often use this space to wonder aloud, “How much is too much when it comes to texting?” I have yet to come to a concrete answer, mostly because it varies so much based on personal preference and relationship. At the beginning of the year, I vowed to change my texting habits. The result? I learned that sometimes a phone call can be more seductive than a text and I’ve actually been consistently dating a very nice guy for a number of months now. While I don’t attribute my entire relationship to my new lease on texting, I have to believe it was a factor. Early in our relationship, my boyfriend and I made an effort to call each other to make plans. Though I cherish the convenience of texting — you can do it anywhere, even while in a meeting or on the subway, etc., etc. — one quick phone call and my plans for the evening were set. I liked it. Slowly but surely, we have started to email and text each other more and more, but that’s mostly occurred as we’ve started to communicate on a more regular basis, several times a day. I can’t imagine speaking on the phone with him as often as I send and receive quick texts, but I know there are people who do have relationships like that. For busy young professionals who work pretty much non-stop all day, that many phone calls is just not feasible for us. And it would probably really annoy our coworkers. So, a relationship that started light on electronic communication has now transitioned into one that I feel has a healthy mix of texts, emails, and phone calls. This is ideal for me, but obviously my experiences don’t translate to everyone. I recently huddled with a group of like-minded young professional women and asked them about texting in relationships. They impressed upon me the importance, in their minds, about speaking on the phone early in the relationship. “If a guy texts me and asks me out, I’ll call him up,” one said. “If I can’t have a conversation with him on the phone, then how can we have a conversation in person?” “But not every first conversation has to be serious,” added another. “One time a guy texted me to ask me out and I just called him back because it was easier that way. He seemed surprised to hear from me, but we made plans and hung up. I didn’t need to talk to him on the phone for an hour.” But after the first few dates are through, how do you transition into the next phase of the relationship and what sort of communication do you prefer? My friends admitted that more texting, emailing, IMing, and BBMing came as relationships progressed, and that was okay. As you become more comfortable with a person you can decide what types of communication and what frequency works for you. Personally, I always find a good, long phone call to be a welcome treat, especially if it’s been awhile since I’ve seen my guy. Do you (or did you) text with your long term boyfriend or girlfriend? Are your methods of communication different after you date someone for awhile than they are when you’re first dating? What forms of communication do you prefer? Leave your thoughts in the comments below and you might see them featured in an upcoming installment of Textual Healing. Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Hot Shot: Hart Of Dixie‘s Wilson Bethel Goes Shirtless For Climate Change Posted: 18 Oct 2011 10:13 AM PDT
Hart of Dixie hartthrob (sorry) Wilson Bethel stripped off his top for The CW’s “Give a Shirt for Climate Change” PSA. The shirtless part is awesome, and the cause part is awesome, but the ad itself is a little strange. First off, Wilson says that “some people” think that climate change is real, and as a result, the network’s taking precautions. And then he refers to some elusive “science people.” Weird, but the shirt comes off a couple times, so I suppose we’re all good here. Post from: Crushable |
| Video: Britney Spears And Her New Man Get Fairly Naked In Big Budget ‘Criminal’ Video Posted: 18 Oct 2011 11:34 AM PDT Britney Spears – Criminal from Exclusive Music Center on Vimeo. Propped up by lord knows how many prescription-wielding handlers, Britney Spears, Inc. continues to perform its promotional obligations for Femme Fatale. The video for fourth and final single “Criminal” came out today, and it shows you more of Brit Brit’s new boyfriend Jason Trawick than you ever knew you wanted to see! As it reminds you every other line, the song is a mid-tempo rumination (if Britney can be said to ruminate) on being in love with a criminal. Now, I’m no Britney Spears apologist, but even I can’t help feeling a little bit bad for her when she has to sing the line “and even I know this ain’t smart.” I’m not saying they need to pretend she’s Stephen Hawking, but it seems mean for the people who get paid a ton of money to write her lyrics to rub it in her face like that. The video opens with a bit of dramatic acting as Britney’s abusive English boyfriend is a jerk to her at a party and she steels herself by robotically spraying perfume on her neck. How will Brit Brit get out of this one? Luckily, bad boy Jason is there to save the day as he rides up on his improbable motorcycle and beats up the evil English guy with hilarious sound effects. Then they make sexy times, of course, and I’m ashamed to admit I find it surprisingly hot despite Jason’s huge, embarrassing tribal tattoos. Then again, nothing Britney invites into her body cavities could ever be as embarrassing as K-Fed or that creepy paparazzi guy, so she has nowhere to go but up. Jay Jay brings her coffee in the morning and that’s it: she is totes in love with him. Their relationship sealed thusly, they go off to rob a convenience store, which they pull off somewhat poorly. They are on the covers of all the newspapers! They are just like Bonnie and Clyde! The cops are after them, and they have super bullets that can go through walls! Fuck! I won’t spoil the totally kewl Disney magic ending for you, but you can watch it above. Is it totally messed up that I think Britney and Jason are kind of hot together? It is, isn’t it? Hotness aside, I feel like they should’ve come up with a different name to avoid reminding people of that way better song/video that was burning up the charts in 1997. I miss you, Fiona Apple. Record ten more albums, please? Related posts: Post from: Crushable |

When casting Lisbeth Salander for the American version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, director David Fincher flew all over the world looking for the right woman to play (as described in Steig Larsson‘s book) “a pale, anorexic young woman who had hair as short as a fuse, and a pierced nose and eyebrows.” And did you know that one of those candidates was none other than Scarlett Johansson? In Vogue’s profile of the movie and star Rooney Mara, David stresses that Scarlett (now starring in The Avengers) had a “great” audition. The only problem was that she’s way too sexy to play the Asperger’s-afflicted hacker. But the way that he phrased it is just so ironic we had to share:
This interview was conducted in June, a few months before ScarJo’s naked photos got leaked online, which makes it even more hilarious. However, David was probably just using a figure of speech, since the actress actually has a no-nudity clause in all of her movies. (Not that it’ll do her much good anymore…) So, all those fans who would’ve been eagerly waiting for some full-frontal would’ve been sorely disappointed. But if you’re talking figuratively instead of literally, he was completely right—Lisbeth is a character who has lots of sex (with both men and women), but she’s not inherently sexy. Even though the only camera on which Scarlett’s gone entirely naked was her iPhone camera, she exudes sexuality that would’ve been entirely out of place in this movie. Consider that the first time many of us learned how she was, in Lost in Translation, we met her like this:
At the same time that he was unintentionally predicting Scarlett’s nude photos scandal, David was running poor Rooney through the ringer. He had her come in over and over, without indicating how good her chances were for getting the part. He also had odd requests for each screen test; the one that most stands out is when he told her to get throw-up drunk the night before so she would look strung out the next morning. And it worked!

| Check Out The Cover Art For Lady Gaga’s ‘Marry The Night’ Single Posted: 18 Oct 2011 09:46 AM PDT
Lady Gaga made a promise to her Twitter followers that if they got “Marry the Night Single Cover” to be the #1 trending topic, she’s release the record’s artwork. The topic did not got to #1, but Gaga tweeted it out anyway — that’s not how you train a little monster! The artwork shows a leather-clad Gaga resting atop a car while fire burns around her. Presumably, the fire department’s too busy rescuing Katy Perry‘s cat from a tree to come put it out. Here’s a question I have: how does a person marry the night, exactly? And are there tax benefits to that? Gaga, your single had better give me answers. (via PopDust) Related posts: Post from: Crushable |

Wherever you turn, Shia LaBeouf seems to be in some sort of trouble: In 2008, his car flipped over and he needed extensive hand surgery to repair his shattered pinky. Then, in the weeks before Transformers 3, 
Text messaging is often the fastest way to communicate with friends and acquaintances, but it's not always the best one. Especially when it comes to texting with guys.
