| Check Out Effie, Cato, Cinna, And 5 Other Hunger Games Character Posters! Posted: 27 Oct 2011 11:40 AM PDT
Lionsgate just released eight character posters for The Hunger Games! Contrary to fears that it would just be the main actors who we’ve already seen in promotional shots — Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, and Josh Hutcherson – the other five are the first shots we’ve seen of these actors in-character. And they look awesome. Depending on the poster, you can see hints to costuming and makeup, which was the last hurdle between seeing these as just a bunch of actors and seeing these as the cast of the movie.

| Fan Fiction: Occupy Hollywood, By Hollywood And For Hollywood Posted: 27 Oct 2011 11:45 AM PDT While the Occupy Wall Street movement blames corporations for America’s monetary woes, writer Jo Piazza over at The Huffington Post thinks the problem lies with the top-earning celebrities whose crazy endorsement deals are throwing everything out of whack. And we agree — Kim Kardashian, Snooki the rest of the celebu-1% are rewriting the economy of Hollywood. We won’t stand for it, so we’re endorsing this Occupy Hollywood manifesto*, for Hollywood and by Hollywood.
“Occupy Hollywood is an assistant-powered movement that will begin atop the second "L" of the Hollywood Sign on Saturday or whenever we can't get a table at Spago. Occupy Hollywood is fighting back against the corrosive powers of major celebrities who make millions of dollars just by tweeting about salads while we behind-the-scenes folks make entire thousands of dollars less by doing real work for at least half the day in our studio lot offices. The movement is inspired by the popular uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia, because we own the story rights to those. Occupy Hollywood aims to expose how the most frivolous 1% are writing the rules of an unfair entertainment industry economy – movie sales are down while endorsement deals are up, and we think that’s wrong. Occupy Hollywood is a horizontally organized and in-3D resistance movement employing the revolutionary tactics of the Arab Summer (we couldn't get the rights to the Arab Spring this time) to restore equity in Hollywood. Down with Kim Kardashian! Up with Harvey Weinstein! Let's get back to spending our dollars blowing up trucks and building Transformers instead of paying Lindsay Lohan to attend parties. We call ourselves the Hollywood General Assembly (George Clooney came up with that) and we have employed Central Casting to find people of all colors, genders and beliefs to attend our daily assemblies. Some of these actors are actual poor people who don't even have their SAG cards or any endorsement deals at all. Are you feeling sympathetic to our plight? Here’s how you can help: - Adopt an Occupy Hollywooder’s adopted child. Someone still has to pick up these industry professionals’ kids from their country day schools, and the housekeeper’s busy printing up flyers and creating viral videos for the cause. - Order a pizza to the Hollywood Sign. Please make sure it’s vegan and gluten-free. - Tweet about it. Officially sanctioned hashtags include: #OccupyHollywood #NoCarlsJrSalads #DownWithThe1%AndUpWithThe2% #FixThePotholeOnSunsetAndVine” *Based on this Post from: Crushable |
| Video: The Many Deaths Of Steve Buscemi Posted: 27 Oct 2011 11:28 AM PDT Everybody loves Steve Buscemi, but that doesn’t stop him from getting killed over and over again in movies. As great an actor as he is, he generally plays a sidekick to the leading man, so when it’s time for someone to go, I guess he seems like the logical choice. It certainly doesn’t hurt that he’s so damn good at it, either. A handy video editor who calls himself dondrapersayswhat made an awesome supercut of all Buscemi’s on screen deaths just in time for Halloween. Will the same fate befall his Boardwalk Empire character Nucky Thompson, or is he too central a character to kill off? My instincts say he’s a survivor, but nothing is a given on that show. One thing’s for sure: Buscemi has finally landed the complex and dashing(!) lead role he deserves. (Via Laughing Squid) Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Did Kim Kardashian Try To Cast Her Husband? Posted: 27 Oct 2011 11:28 AM PDT
A sadly believable rumor began circulating today that Kim Kardashian and her people basically set out to cast an NBA basketball player to date/romance/marry her on this past season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, and the lumbering 6’9″ Kris Humphries wasn’t even her first choice. But…but…he proposed to her with a bunch of candles and rose petals. That must mean their love is real. According to Wetpaint.com, a representative of the E! network first approached a different basketball star with their Faustian bargain of “you may date Kim Kardashian and touch her giant ass, but you must do so in the most humiliating way possible.” I guess he hates beautiful women and fame, because he reportedly turned it down:
Do you mean to tell me that Kim and Kris’ heartfelt courtship did not just happen to serendipitously collide with the filming of the last season of her TV show? And that she went shopping for him like one might shop for a designer handbag? Say it ain’t so! If this relationship isn’t real, I just don’t know what to believe in anymore.

| 98 Degrees’ Justin Jeffre Gets Arrested At Occupy Cincinnati Posted: 27 Oct 2011 10:18 AM PDT
A local Cincinnati publication reports that Justin and other protesters got nabbed by the police for “criminal trespassing” in the city’s Fountain Square. And while Justin was uncomfortable with the night he spent in the slammer, he really believes in the cause that put him there: ”I spent the night in jail, and it was not fun. But it was the place to be if you are standing up for free speech.” He admitted that his cellmates recognized him but that he “didn’t feel like singing.” No surprise there—if I were him, I would’ve been afraid of getting a beating for the high-pitched earworm “Give Me Just One Night (Una Noche).” You’ve gotta love the reporter’s little bit of editorializing: Going to jail could be a good career move for Jeffre. Spending time behind bars inspired many blues and country artists to write some of their best material. Rimshot! What most amused me about this news story is that this is the only press Justin’s gotten in years, and about all he’ll have for the next while. And he couldn’t even make it happen at one of the big Occupy protests in New York or San Francisco! You can bet that if Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo decide to show off their 1% status at an Occupy event, they’ll do it in LA. I feel it’s only fitting to close out this post with a 98 Degrees song. And this one actually lines up with all of Justin’s talk about being… dare I say, true to your heart.

| Video: Comedian Daniella Pineda Parodies The Navajo Trend With ‘Genocide Chic’ Posted: 27 Oct 2011 09:54 AM PDT
Sick of seeing exploitative American Indian-esque images like these, which we pulled from the Urban Outfitters site? Comedian Daniella Pineda certainly is, which is why she created this video as her fashion blogger alter-ego DW Diaz celebrating her new line of “Genocide Chic” clothing. The video was made last month, and started making the rounds again today. Jezebel published an interview with the 24-year-old Daniella. She explained the series of events that led her to make the video:
Daniella Pineda, you are officially my new lady crush. I will erect a stylish totem pole in your honor. Post from: Crushable |
| Rumor: RHONJ Star Jacqueline Laurita Is Scared Danielle Staub Will Reveal Her Stripper Past Posted: 27 Oct 2011 09:29 AM PDT
Reality Tea got a hold of the newest issue of In Touch Weekly, which has a doozy of a conspiracy theory: Jacqueline was also a stripper — in Las Vegas when daughter Ashley Holmes was just a few years old — and that’s how she met her husband Chris Laurita. Though she’s confessed her past to her friends, she’s now asking them to deny it. One former friend in particular is who has Jacqueline scared, Reality Tea says: Danielle Staub, who was rumored to be part of the reunion show and is the reason that Jacqueline skipped out. We can see why she’s nervous: At the end of September, Danielle tweeted that the RHONJ producers had asked her to film, though she declined; and when one fan asked Jacqueline about the stripper rumors, Danielle stepped in to confirm, she was and then some. The best part of all this is that some time ago, Jacqueline released an extensive PDF detailing how she and Chris met. She says it’s because so many people had been asking her for the details, but we think it was her way of putting out a concrete denial before the rumors got fanned. Jacqueline claimed that she was “a licensed cosmetologist” in Las Vegas when she met Chris in 1996. However, she also did “modeling” for conventions and noted that she had to rearrange her salon schedule around such short-term gigs. Maybe it’s just because I read this after I heard the stripper rumors, but there was something suspect about the part where she writes, I don’t really like to call it modeling because it wasn’t as glamorous as print work and runway. Could “modeling” be a code word for “stripping”?
The five-page document seems like a lot, so of course it reminds me of a saying my dad always used: The guilty flee where no man pursueth. Maybe she realized how suspicious that looked, because Jacqueline’s latest denial is direct and brief. Last night she tweeted, In case you were wondering… No, the rumors aren’t true. ( You know the ones;0) ) and linked to a YouTube video with the song “Imperfect Girl.” Speaking of, that’s a photo of young Jacqueline from Bravo (via Reality Tea).

| Michael Lohan Jumps Into Tree, Does Other Dumb Things To Try To Avoid Arrest Posted: 27 Oct 2011 09:20 AM PDT
Michael Lohan, father to our hapless Lindsay, was arrested again last night just 12 hours after being released from jail, where he was being held after girlfriend Kate Major accused him of domestic abuse. The cops showed up at his hotel in Florida after he violated a restraining order by calling Major on the phone. They knew this happened because they were standing in the room when he called her, and she put him on speaker phone. D’oh! But that’s not all. When he saw the cops coming, Lohan tried to get away after the fashion of a bumbling cartoon burglar. Via WTSP:
He’s being charged with violating the judge’s order not to contact Major, as well as non-violent (to anyone but himself, at least) resisting of arrest. He’s also been given a failing grade in spatial reasoning, because damn dude, way to make it harder on yourself. For her part, Kate Major is understandably pissed. “I am sick of being lied about by Michael Lohan Sr.’s false allegations about his continual physical and mental abuse toward me,” she told TMZ. “He has no regard for the justice system. He can beat up women but Mr. tough guy who slurred his words calling me 5 times after getting out of jail wasn’t too tough by jumping off a 3rd floor balcony into a tree to try to flee from going back to the same jail he just got released from less than 12 hours ago.” Related posts: Post from: Crushable |
| Hot Shot: Ashton Kutcher Smolders At The GQ’s Gentlemen’s Ball Posted: 27 Oct 2011 08:55 AM PDT
This isn’t an add for Gentleman Jack, the bourbon brand that sponsored the GQ Gentlemen’s Ball, but it could be. Because Gentleman Jack is delicious. It’s smooth with a kick, and both rugged and fancy at the same time. Which is exactly how I feel about this photo of Ashton Kutcher, taken at the GQ ball. There’s something super charming about Ashton’s suit-plus-knit-cap look, and the beard he’d been growing for his Two and a Half Men role seems to have hit its stride. Ashton arrived dateless to the event, which allowed him to take this adorable photo:
The kid in the picture is eight-year-old Wyatt Workman, who makes movies and art that emphasizes environmentalism. Cool boots, kiddo! Though I hope someone kept him far away from the Gentleman Jack. Related posts: Post from: Crushable |

I have to admit, I don’t recognize this man at Occupy Cincinnati. But the cops who arrested him (and 10 other protesters) did; same goes for the journalists who quoted him as part of a larger piece. It’s Justin Jeffre, formerly of the boy band 98 Degrees!
It was really surprising when Jacqueline Laurita abruptly dropped out of the Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion a few weeks ago, 
It was a trade show in Chicago where she met Chris, though he was living in Jersey at the time. They had a five-year sort-of long-distance relationship because neither was willing to move to the other’s side of the country. During this time Jacqueline was also working the graveyard shift as a cocktail waitress at a hotel/casino. Again, code word?
