Dec 11 2008Scarlett Johansson puts on her Nobel Peace face (And other goings on)
As the world turns:
- Scarlett Johansson hosts gala event for Nobel Peace Prize winner. Because nothing brings legitimacy to an organization like a woman who dips her teeth in gold as gifts. Good game, Nobel. [CNN Europe]
- Heath Ledger nominated for posthumous Golden Globe. Meanwhile, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie forced to settle for lame prehumous nominations and might as well not even show up. [I Watch Stuff]
- Mark Ruffalo drops out of movie to mourn brother's death. Ben Stiller to replace him because Hollywood's a sucker for compounding tragedies. [E! Online]
- Josh Hartnett wins lawsuit against Daily Mirror who admitted to fabricating a story of him having sex in a library. Had they made it two women and one was the Little Mermaid, Josh would've let it slide - for the children. [TMZ]

Nov 30 2008Ben Stiller, Jack Black, P. Diddy dye their pubes (Those words just happened.)
Nancy Jarecki is an entrepreneur who sells dye for "hair down there." While her product line Betty Beauty is taking off, Nancy needs to learn rule number one in the cutthroat pube dye business: Never out your celebrity clients. Page Six reports:
It's not just women who are interested in matching the carpet to the drapes: Jarecki says so many men have bought the product that she plans to launch a "Betty for Men" line early next year. "I guess man-scaping for guys is really big these days," she says, adding that she recently sent the entire assortment of colors to noted waxing enthusiast Diddy and got back a thank-you note from his assistant.
A Betty spokesperson adds that "Law & Order" brunette Mariska Hargitay, country singer Vince Gill, Jack Black and Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor also use the product.
For the record, I fancy myself a man-scaping enthusiast as well. Which is why my dude shrub comes complete with a gazebo, lawn gnome and barbecue pit. Also, cookout next Friday. BYOB. (There will be badminton.)

Jun 2 2008MTV Movie Awards: Celebs did a bunch of crap but nothing as cool as Robert Downey Jr. attacking Jack Black's nutsicles
I attempted to watch the MTV Movie awards last night but quickly realized, "Hey, I don't completely hate myself." Before I turned it off though, I did happen to catch this clip of Robert Downey Jr., Jack Black and Ben Stiller trying to make a viral video for their new movie Tropic Thunder. Surprisingly hilarious. If you guys want more info on the awards and whatnot, steer your browsers over to our sister site I Watch Stuff later today. Whenever my esteemed colleague crawls out from under his Ricky Gervais sheets, he'll bring you the 411 on the night's asinine events. Provided he didn't drink a half gallon of Clorox five minutes into it.
UPDATE: Aforementioned coverage up at I Watch Stuff. Be the first in your office to know that Transformers is the greatest movie ever, according to a random selection of 13-year-olds with Internet access.
Jan 24 2008Ben Stiller defends Tom Cruise
Ben Stiller and other celebrities are defending Tom Cruise after several Scientology videos were leaked last week and an unauthorized autobiography about Tom was released. People reports:
"Imagine having a baby and people talking about it the way they did," says Stiller. "People lose sight of the fact that Tom Cruise is actually a person. I feel for him."
Ben Stiller has a point. I mean, Tom Cruise is a person. Who’s really an alien - trapped inside a person. That can talk to other aliens inside other persons. It all makes sense when you think about it and are really, really high.
NOTE: I reposted the FunnyOrDie spoof because, well, it’s freaking hilarious. I still can't get over it’s Jerry O’Connell. I thought he was just a myth.
