Quote of the Day: Christopher Kane on Bloggers
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News, Rumors,
“It’s a bit mad, isn’t it? It feels like it’s happened all of a sudden and at some shows this season the front row was just all bloggers. I think it will die down though, and people know what they are doing. No one who wants to read a serious review of a show is going to look at what a 14-year-old thinks. But it has become more critical; people can say what they want about anyone on a blog without consequences and that’s quite scary. There are real repercussions for a designer if a photo of something is leaked by a blog; it can be copied in a fortnight and that can really harm a business. You have to be much more careful now.”
- Fashion designer Christopher Kane talks about the emerging internet presence in the fashion industry.

Rihanna Approves of Internet Nakedness
Rihanna thinks every woman should send their boyfriend naked pictures of themselves.
The “Russian Roulette” singer was left mortified when several photos of her flashing her flesh were leaked onto the internet, but after getting over her initial embarrassment she realized it was no big deal.
“If you don’t send your boyfriend naked pictures, then I feel bad for him. When it happened, I sent my mom flowers first before I called and then she texted me - when the world is against me she’s always there supporting.”

Twitter Match for Emmy Rossum and Adam Duritz
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Dating,
Some celebrities date people they work with. Others are set up by mutual agents. Then there are those who actually meet each other online. Dare actress Emmy Rossum recently admitted that her relationship with Adam Duritz actually started as as a dare…on Twitter.
“I was on tour with the band this summer. They invited me actually on Twitter. That’s how we met – on a dare. They dared me to come sing with them a song that I’d never sung before ... So I ended up on tour with the band, and it was very, very fun,” the 23-year-old told a radio station.
So what exactly does Emmy see in the 45-year-old Counting Crows frontman? “I get why chicks dig him,” the soon-to-be divorced Rossum recently told People. “He’s extremely kind, incredibly intelligent, thoughtful, creative and respectful.” Hopefully those qualities will keep her around longer than both Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston, previous Duritz flames.

Internet Addict Russell Brand
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Rants, Rumors,
After having beaten his polygamy tendencies, comedian Russell Brand is now recovering over his obsession with Googling himself.
The Get Him to The Greek actor, who admits he has an addictive personality and has previously beaten heroin addiction, said he eventually gave up typing his name into the internet, as he only saw negative things written about himself.
“It’s the most unrewarding, pointless activity, Googling yourself. I’m doing a lot better. It’s like picking a scab. I have gone a few weeks without looking at it and it divorces you from the slurry of casual vindictiveness.”
He also admitted he toned down his performance as host of this year’s MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs), after his appearance last year - during which he referred to then-US president George W. Bush as a “retarded cowboy fella” - caused such an uproar.
“Last year at the VMAs there were death threats, so obviously this year it was deliberately designed not to cause anyone any bother, but be funny and confident. There was a very deliberate removal of self-destruction. I didn’t take the risks I’ve taken in the past.”
Get Your Name in Paranormal Activity’s Credits
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: DreamWorks, Paramount, Horror, Home Entertainment,
How did you contribute to Paranormal Activity‘s recent success? Did you talk about it on Twitter? Did you drag your friends to a showing? Did you purchase Dramamine just so you could sit through it?
Even if you’ve watched the movie multiple times already, this promotional tool could have you buying the DVD as well. Those who register by Monday, November 9 will get to see their name listed in the home version’s credits. According to the website, it’s simply the studio’s way of “thanking the fans who turned the movie into a nationwide phenomenon.”
This could be the one time a movie’s credits ran longer than the actual film.

VIDEO: Fillion Confirms Dr. Horrible Sequel in Works
While we’ve been seeing a whirlwind of due success for the Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog crew, the more pressing news has been about the sequel. Now Nathan Fillion, who portrays the antagonist Captain Hammer in the series, assures fans that a title and a couple songs have indeed been established.
In the video, Fillion claims that the media has yet to be decided upon. While it would be cool to see Dr. Horrible on the big screen, let’s all be reminded of Serenity, which garnered a mediocre victory at the box office. I fear that if the sequel meets the same fate that a third installment will never see the light of day. I mean, let’s not get ahead of ourselves, eh?

Edward Norton Not Big on Social Networking
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Charity,
Edward Norton thinks social networking sites are like “torture.” Unlike many other celebrities, the Leaves of Grass actor has never written an internet blog because he hates the idea of people cyber stalking him.
“I haven’t personally really engaged in a lot of this new kind of social networking stuff like Twitter or Facebook or MySpace,” the 40-year-old star explained. “I mean, the notion of people following what I am doing every day is like torture for me. It’s absolutely the last thing that I’m looking for. It seems to me to be really just about social chatter.”
Despite his web worries, Edward agreed to sign up on Twitter to help raise money for his favorite charity, the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust.
“It’s a good example of a way that you can turn that platform into something where you actually can accomplish something good,” he added to Parade magazine. “It’s my first attempt. We’re putting our running training log on Twitter. You can see can see pictures too on the site there. The trust conserves the wildlife and culture of the Maasai tribe of Kenya, Africa.”

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, NBC, The Office, Video,
Even if you didn’t The Office last night, chances are you’ve seen the internet sensation that inspired the video above.
Shortly before Jim and Pam said “I Do” (for the second time), the guests at their wedding danced down the aisle to Chris Brown’s “Forever.” (We later learned that Jim purposely planned a Plan B for their nuptials the minute he saw that YouTube clip.)
If you’ve been hiding under a rock somewhere, you can watch the original version after the jump.

Miley Cyrus Too Busy for Love
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Music, Television, Dating, Rumors,
She may spend a lot of time on her various Internet accounts, but fans shouldn’t read too hard into what Miley Cyrus writes.
“I’m the queen of corny quotes. I Google love quotes, happy quotes, sad quotes, I just like quotes. I don’t want to write, ‘I’m eating a cookie.’ I think that Twitter could be used for so much more,” the 16-year-old said.
Although recent tweets have sparked rumors that she has rekindled her romance with underwear model Justin Gaston, the young star insists she is too busy focusing on her career to commit to a relationship. “There are a lot of people I’m supposedly dating these days. But I’m just kicking it right now, I don’t really have time for a huge relationship. There’s no dude,” she said.
