• Sam Rockwell Too Busy Having Sex With You To Learn Your Name

  Sam Rockwell, who stars in this weekend's newest well-hyped movie, Choke, gave a very revealing interview to Parade Magazine in which he discussed his sex life (or lack thereof?) and uttered this immortal phrase: "I personally didn't have time to get nervous.

• Sloppy Seconds: Did Mick Jagger "Shove it up the "Sh*tter?"

  Police believe that "the woman who sat on the toilet for two years" may have only been there for a month. Can one's ass really become fused with the toilet in a month? Hm, we might have to try that sometime. You know, just to find out. Herb Peterson, the man who invented the Egg McMuffin and got us through so many high school hangovers, is dead at 89.  We're not fans of races that require the runners to wear high heels, but if you're going to enter a highly publicized high heel race, make sure you're not currently collecting worker's compensation.   Read More...

• Hot or Not? Heath Ledger Dancing to David Bowie

  We can't believe we even have to ask, but Stuff Magazine has compiled their 10 Most Uncomfortable Movie Dance Scenes, and coming in on or around number three or seven (they didn't rank the scenes within the list) is Heath Ledger dancing to David Bowie's "Golden Years" in A Knight's Tale (2001). We have to take issue with this one. That scene made us fall in love with Heath Ledger. Maybe it had something to do with the Bowie song (we have been known to dance around in our underwear to "Golden Years" and had it been Michael Jackson, we might have felt differently). The idea of Bowie-Ledger combination was almost too much for our super-charged, 19-year-old hormones to handle. Sure, Heath's character is supposed to be a little uncomfortable in this scene because he doesn't know what he's doing. But it hardly compares to the disaster that is Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo dancing to "Thriller" in 13 Going on 30.  Read More...

• We Are Prisoners of Our Love for David Bowie

  The Smoking Gun released this mug shot of David Bowie from a 1976 Rochester, NY pot bust. First of all, WOW! HOT! Really, really incredible mug shot. Second, it's for sale. So you know what to do after you read this...go on ahead and buy it for us. Third, we never thought about this until now, but he must have had a cellmate. Sure, Paris Hilton got to bunk alone when she was sent up the river, but Bowie spent a few hours in the clink and we're willing to bet he shared the perch with some other jailbird. A cell with Bowie would make jail a reward, not a punishment. After the jump a few ways we'd kill time if we're ever behind bars with the Thin White Duke. Read More...
