Which Actress Is Fighting with Family on Facebook?

Brian Moylan · 09/28/11 09:36AM

This celeb is having very public words with her family on the internet. This aging actress is selling her art collection to pay for her booze habit, and this actor was cheating on his girlfriend. Think she found out because of a misplaced status update?

Kids These Days Know Nothing About the Civil Rights Movement

Hamilton Nolan · 09/28/11 08:36AM

Half a century ago, heroes like Martin Luther X and Rose Park risked their lives by marching on top of lunch counters so that kids of all races would one day have the right to catch a few "Z's" in class while the teacher showed a filmstrip of the "I Have a Dream" speech. And how do kids these days repay those civil rights heroes? By not knowing a damn thing about them.

Global Warming Could Make the World's Animals Smaller

Lauri Apple · 09/28/11 06:57AM

Do you sometimes wish you could shrink your pet crocodile just a little, to make it less frightening and threatening to your family's safety? Sadly, you'll have to make do with your oversized pet for now, but the Americans of the future (if there is a future, ha!) might enjoy smaller crocodiles and other cold-blooded pets thanks to global warming (which isn't actually real).

'Mike Hunt' a No-Show at LA City Council Meeting

Lauri Apple · 09/28/11 06:04AM

Hey, has anyone seen Mike Hunt? He signed up to comment at yesterday's Los Angeles City Council meeting, but when a councilmember summoned him to speak, nobody responded. Maybe he was out getting sandwiches with his BFs Mike Hawk and Mike Rotch?

David Letterman's Endless Supply of Chris Christie Fat Jokes

Matt Cherette · 09/28/11 02:30AM

In addition to being a possible Republican presidential candidate, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is really fat. So naturally, in recent days Christie's been the butt of jokes made by everyone from Chris Matthews to David Letterman, who on tonight's Late Show delivered a top 10 list of "ways the country would be different if Chris Christie were president." Here's a clip of the segment.

The Human Centipede 2: Misery Loves Company

Matt Cherette · 09/28/11 01:23AM

Here's a trailer for The Human Centipede II: Full Sequence, the sequel to Tom Six's 2009 torture porn shocker. The movie revolves around a creepy fat guy's obsession with—and attempt to recreate—the experiment depicted in the original film. And by "experiment," I mean "the ass-to-mouth sewing together of three people." But since sequels always outdo their predecessors, the psychopath in Full Sequence rounds the number of victims up from three to a dozen. Is it any surprise the movie's already been banned in the UK?

Stephen Colbert Defends Rick Perry After Debate Debacle

Matt Cherette · 09/28/11 12:35AM

Stephen Colbert has made no secret of his fondness for Rick Perry, so it was only natural that he'd use tonight's Report to go to bat for Perry against critics of the Texas governor's disastrous performance in last week's Republican debate. The arguments Colbert made while doing so, however, were a bit more unorthodox.

Jon Stewart Takes on Nancy Grace's Boobs, Fox & Friends' Pricks

Matt Cherette · 09/27/11 11:55PM

Thanks to Chaz Bono's knee injury and Nancy Grace's wardrobe malfunction, last night's Dancing with the Stars was a lesson in human anatomy. After expressing his horror at the sight of Grace's nipple on tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart couldn't wait to see how the prudes at Fox & Friends would react to it. But as Stewart soon learned, the Fox panel's reaction to Grace's nip-slip was nothing compared to their stupid, juvenile comments about Bono.

Mark Zuckerberg Is Killing Progressively Larger Animals

Ryan Tate · 09/27/11 08:06PM

It started, innocently enough, with a lobster. Then Mark Zuckerberg killed a chicken. By the time the Facebook CEO escalated to a pig and a goat — "he cut the goat's throat with a knife," a friend reported — the media took notice. But it was too late.

Filming of New Rihanna Video Halted After Irish Farmer Objects

Max Read · 09/27/11 06:12PM

For some reason, Rihanna is filming a new video in a field in County Down, Northern Ireland. Or, she was, until the farmer who owns the field asked her to stop. "I wish no ill will against Rihanna and her friends. Perhaps they could acquaint themselves with a greater God," he told the BBC.

Here's the Ashton Kutcher Laptop That CBS Banned

Ryan Tate · 09/27/11 06:11PM

We criticized Details magazine for letting "editor" Ashton Kutcher turn it into a huge brochure for Kutcher's investments. But the actor doesn't always get a free pass from the media: After seeing this shamelessly self promotional laptop in Two And A Half Men, CBS producers banished it from the show.

Cat with Two Faces Sets World Record

Maureen O'Connor · 09/27/11 05:32PM

Meet "Frankie and Louie," a 12-year-old cat with two faces and two names. Guinness World Records says he is the world's longest-living Janus cat. (Fun fact: That is what they call two-faced cats, on account of two-faced Roman god Janus.) Most Janus cats die within hours of their births.

Let's Cool It With the Zombies for a While, Huh?

Richard Lawson · 09/27/11 05:06PM

The undead are great and all, but haven't we had enough? Also today: some more ratings to help you understand where everything lies, and a what-to-watch suggestion for tonight.

Lip-Readers Transcribe Rick Perry's Disturbing Psychobabble

Jim Newell · 09/27/11 05:04PM

Certain Internet forces with apparent magical powers have synced Rick Perry's lip movements during a speech to strange, alternate words that nevertheless are probably more coherent than what he was really saying. Does that make sense? It is hard to describe this sort of witchcraft.
